bored now, if you notice, i put 'i would say', that means i thought it would be like that? i would never be so up myself to actually search the net or stats to find out the frontal area of a bike thats so, er, geeky, unlike most people on the net i have a life outside my pc a land of crap vtecs, subaru's with drain pipe exhausts, v8's which has been proven that the bigger the cubic inch the bigger the cock in your pants and the ability to say rice without being derogatory to the supreme jap technology that is about these days. i love it, so many people to take the piss out of

Thats like 140-160 tops. If that. He just has those fake gauges. IF you look at, for example, some 2ng gen Eclipse speedos, they go to like 170mph.

very true that everything looks too slow on the road around him.... ive raced a gsxr1000 on the highway in my 02 civic going 140mph so i know what high speed looks like..... but i also remember the bike pulling up a wheelie at 120mph so..... there was a vid posted here a while back of a turbo busa and that did hit 200+, however it took even longer than that stock busa. my vote is along with yours, the vid is impressive even tho the speedo is inaccurate

Well if basic understanding of aerodynamics is geeky than I would rather be a geek
It took me less than a minute to find that link, and since I'm actually interested in cars and bikes beyond simple "duh how will it go duhhh" I found the read rather interesting.
I've known forever that bikes have horrible aerodynamics compared to a car but never actually need a good read like that wth stats.
