That busa has been geared down, and is really only doing about 160-170.

Sweet find! Actually didn't already see that one. I can't believe someone would do a wheelie to 130. Why? I don't get it.

even if it has ive seen videos of cars going 200mph and the road looked the same so i would asume its aleast doing 200mph. stock busa can get close to 200mph without a turbo. so i would think you can get past 200 with a turbo

I think the video has been around.. Not only judging by how the back ground looks, I think someone knew the mod list on the bike thats in the vid...

Right, I have actually talked to the owner of the bike a long time ago on a different forum. Now, that Bus DOES have a turbo on it, at the time of the video it is on low boost since it was one of his first test runs, however the bike has dropped like 4 teeth on the rear and gained 2 upfront, or something similar.
And there is no way he is doing anywhere close to 200mph in that video.

Yeah, that'll do it. Still quite a bike regardless. Faster than I'll ever see.

thats why scott. I KNOW what it looks like through a windshield at 170mph.

oh so if i were to put a video clip up of my friend taking his bike to 220 you will have already talked to him and know for sure if he was really doing that fast at the right mph? :loser:

You also have to remember, bike speedo's are incredibly innaccurate when everything is stock. When you mod it, it only gets worse. I've also read the same thing that R1 said on multiple different message boards. All of them said that he had gone up teeth in the rear and down in the front. The general concensus seems to be that he may have been doing 170-180.
Plus, no offence to you Scott, but I believe R1 when he says he knows what it looks like at 170. He does have an R1, with a nitrous kit among other things, after all.
