Question

Thanks for downloading the video. I know there are some very fast bikes out there,I'm not sure what bike this person is riding but I can see his buddy has a Hayabusa? I know that many of the Jap bikes speedometers are off and can read 6-10 percent faster than the bike is actually going,wich would put this 220 indicated closer to 200mph (wich can be achieved) when I look at this video and gauge the speed this bike is aproaching the median u-turns and the center dotted line it doesnt look like this bike is traveling anywhere near the indicated speed. I think the persons speedo may be off WAY MORE than 10 percent.

I noticed the same thing, at 100mph the center white lines should be traveling alot faster I would think. Dont know much about bikes but the our stang you can miscalibrate speedo and have it read more that it is.

I have seen big bore crotch rockets hit 10 second 1/4 miles at aprox 130 mph but in my unofficial clocking of this video if its in real speed this bike can hit 220 in aprox 14 seconds wich seems a little far fetched? also the way this bike hits its top speed and the tach is still way up in redline it looks like it has ran out of gearing and could possibly hit 240 plus? I think it must be reading kilometers??

It's KPH not MPH. There's no way he could do a 140 MPH wheelie. I take that back, I'm sure it's possible, but not likely.

136mph is all it is. I have Kawasaki Zx1100e, Whats surpising is that the Speedo only goes to like 140, must be a 750 or something. Below 140 feels safe, Once you get to 160 and above, you really start to think about tires and how strong is that chain!!! I've had the nerve to 170 but i wont try it again.

I also have a brand new hip put in 8 months ago and a new Titanium Femur in my right leg on a low speed 50mph accident where a car ran me off the road on a corner the bikes front wheel stopped cold in a drainage ditch, as i did a superman off the bike, my leg go caught between the gas tank and handlebars. I opened my eyes on the ground and my right foot was next to my left ear!!

I havnt had a mustang since 1994, gave up on the bikes and back to stangs. in 94 i had a 1991 with a cartech intercooled single turbo system, oringed heads and 14lbs of boost. Someone slammed into the side of me running a redlight and insurance only covered the car, not the extra 20k into it!!!

sorry guys, it is MPH, if you look at the begining of the video, the inner ring has the KPH on it. ( higher numbers )

and even if the speedo peggs out at 220, look at his RPM's at the time he hits it....its about 10100 RPM. but he dosent start slowing down till the RPM's top out at over 11000. if his speedo went up to it i bet it would have read about 250 MPH. maybe 220 corrected
