I actually just saw this just yesterday at another site, how coincidental. But ya, that guy is crazy I'd be so incredibly scared. Then he just takes it up past 220 for kicks

Looks like a rigged speedometer to me. The lines on the road and the scenery are going past like he's doing 60.

Yea, and when he hits 100, it sounds and looks like he's at 40.

He is definitely doing 220 =)

The busa is stock 200 MPH

After almost a million miles of driving you can't tell by the lines and the trees. The camera would have to be pointing to the side to see what 220 actually looks like, forward facing visual is decieving.

Agreed. I know some crazy people that have done stuff like that before, very possible.

Just another Squid with a death wish!
And these guys are so stupid that they film their actions.
A guy in the UK got pulled by the Police for a spot check, then they saw his camera. When they played it back, they saw him reaching speeds of 170mph on public roads.
Consequently he went to JAIL for 6 months!
It's a bit like robbing a bank and filming yourself doing it!

Ok I will be the one to say this.

I have the same bike and that is fake he has the spedometer rigged

First gear on the video at 60 mph
shifts in to third at 110 mph

Bull it is rigged, I have the same bike maybe a diff model and no way is that real. The gears are impossible and then watch the lane markers after he slows down when it hits 110 looks like he is doing 40

from listening to his gears and shifting (experience he was doing tops 80
at the top he just geared it to 3rd and 4th letting it redline


Sorry not real this guy is a fraud
