That turbo busa is sick, sick sick! I don't think there is anything that could beat that!
I've seen someone go from 50mph to sliding down the road flat on his back in less that 3 seconds!
Anyone here see the F40 200mph video a few years ago? The president of the Japanese chapter of the Ferrari club decided to film a 200mph+ run on a public highway - with traffic around him.
The poor sod sold the video (sold like 10K copies of it!) and the cops tracked him down that way later on...
That video looked like 200mph. Hell, it looked like 3000mph!
Anyhow...here's a really fast bike....
He went from 50 MPH to 100 MPH in 2.9 seconds. Don't know if it is possible or not but that seems VERY fast.
Anyone know if that is even possible on a bike?
Here is what a turbo Busa does for a top speed, notice that the bike is up in the air till 140mph No way any Viper or any other car is going to hang with this monster

That vid has been around for a while now....
If you look at the center lane dividing lines on the road you can still see them as seperate painted stripes.
At 200+ it'd be a single blured line...it's all subjective but evidently the guy that made this video even posted a few weeks after the fact that the speedo was rigged or something. Don't recall the exact story.
The most telling part of the video is between :28 and :30 in the timer - notice the turnout that appears on his left and how slowly it goes by as he passes, even though his speed is an indicated 200mph at that point.
Still, pretty [******] fast....and a fun video.
The bike is fast, but don't try to equate real-time with a production
video. Don't believe every bike( or car) video unless you have some
means of verifying what you see. That picture was too stable to taken on
a bike pulling them kind of G's - shifting gears.
Another thing, at 200mph you get wind buffeting, unless you're in a vacuum.
Anyone that's been around bikes, know there are mobil trailers that allow
bikes to race on a treadmill- sort of a heads up Dyno - that's what that video reminds me of.
How would you add in the road, the other bike, the other cars etc if it were taken on a bike treadmill.
It just looks like he altered the speedometer as was said before.
