That was pretty crazy, he didn't touch over 220 and come back down. He stayed over 220 for quite a few seconds.

the speedometer IS off...

That guy has his hayabusa's gear ratio all out of whack to make wheelies easier, and I would be surprised if he hit 120 mph in that vid. let alone 220

actually the fastest hes ever gone on that bike is 217mph which was clocked with a GPS system (on another vid). that is a different speedo gauge from what im told, but no he doesnt go any over 220mph

Also they say after 170mph the line in the middle of the road turns solid.

and thats when youre looking at it, it didnt even turn solid with 30frames per second video. The human eye can see up to 85fps, I wouldnt bother splitting hairs cuz I just wont believe it now til I see it in person. Plus, the needle WAS buried, you couldn't see the tip but look at it when he sits there at 220mph (supposedly) for a few seconds, its not moving at all. He DID bury the needle, his bike was reving more and more, and yet the speedo didn't move. end of story, he buried it, I dont see how its possible or plausible but then again anythings possible. Im sure there is SOME way I can be wrong, I just don't think so. Ive seen a top speed run going up to 189mph or something like that, you CRAWL up to your top speed after getting 3/4 of the way there.
