This happens a lot more than the cops would have you believe, but a stopped cop isn't able to catch up usually.

I know someone who did toronto to ottawa (~450km) in 2.5 hrs multiple times on a motorbike, although that was over a decade ago.

This is of course incredibly dangerous and I do not endorse this behaviour.
