Have any of you ever even rode a bike before? the clip is real, I have a stock GSX-R 1000 and I have had it up to 156mph at 9000rpms and it would still pull for more. I've rode with people that have hit 180+mph, on 1000's. a Busa is stock 1300cc and with a turbo it will easily hit 240. as for the white lines, a camera can only shoot so many frames per second at those speeds it sees the lines as a strobe light. its like looking at a compute screen through a camera it will flash in the camera but not with the naked eye. the lines most likely looked solid to the rider.

For those of you you believe this video reflects speed in excess of 200 mph obvious have never drive at speeds in excess of 150 mph. The 240 mph speeometer reading is false... Physics does not lie.

mph is on the outside and kmh is on the inside, this is a legit clip, watch the ghostrider films, and you see the famous ghostrider doing 200mph wheelies, the bike in this clip had probably got around 400 - 500 bhp (on a bike)

Thats in KM/H not miles. He's in Europe somewhere and it's definately KM/h. Besides a hayabusa can't get to 24 mph anyway.

Yeah, this guy obviously changed the final drive ratio with sprocket changes. I'd might believe he was going half that fast if anything. The purpose of sprocket changes like this is the same as changing the ring and pinion in a cars rear diff. It makes for a better/faster launch and track times.

has to be fake, at 220 the white lines would have been solid

Looks cool, but fake. Sprocket and speedo drive changes can make the indicated speed appear much faster than reality. If you go to the effort to properly mount a camera for stable shooting, chances are you have the know-how to alter the indicated speed. Back it up with radar or GPS, and I'll be impressed! The wheelie is cool at any speed, but do you really think it held until 140 mph?
