My pal competes in Stunt riding championships and he regularly does 100mph plus wheelies but I think it's fake

Its old news this I posted the turbo Busa vid in the Biker section ages ago it was recognised as being authentic but it was a different vid.

You can still see the white dashed line, if it was going that fast it would look like one Long White strip

What do u think

Dazza's-STi, it is not the same bike. Just listen to it. Different exaust sound, and where is the blow off valve? Where is the turbo pressure gauge?

Could be right, may not be the same bike... However the guys build the bikes the same and are available to order as a complete bike done to the same spec...
As for the lines, well I was in Ft lauderdale A month and half ago and did the I95 from Daytona to Miami at 100+mph and it doesn't feel fast! No reference points along the road and the lines are much Further apart than here! "watch for posts" But at the end of the day the busa is kicking out 350+ Bhp & dependant on spec upto 430bhp. Now its not going to be slow is it! I had a go recently on a new GSXR1000 and the kick is simply mind blowing, if you've not been on a new bike latly then the acceleration is simply shocking! It was pulling so hard past the ton i was having big problem just holding on, so with 350 ponies I can honestly believe the speedo! I'll film my mates clock on the GSXR cos its not far off the Busa upto about 165.
Can't imagine what 350+ mules feels like! The GSX feel nuts!

Quote....The debate is not whether or not that bike..or any bike for that matter can reach those speeds...The debate is over the fact that the bike in that video is not going anywhere near the reading on the speedo...
This is a quote from..»www.suzukihayabusa.org/cgi-bin/ultimat..[?]

"This has come up many times. And every time Superkaoss says it is his geared down wheelie bike, the speedo is swapped from an older bike, and is way off. He'll tell ya as much himself. It was done for effect and he's never claimed the speedo was anything close to accurate. Besides, it's really about the wheelies, not the speed"

I don't think anyone in this thread has challenged the capabilities of the bike...we are all pretty much in agreement that the bike can go that fast...its just that this ride in particular is not going that fast.

Can this thread be put to bed now.........

I don't care how fast it goes....all I know is you don't pop a wheelie from 60-150 in like 2 seconds flat and live....they'd be scrapping you up for hours!

Fake,
There's one doing the rounds of a Fireblade on the autobahn up to about 180mph which is real and a lot, lot quicker than this. It makes the overtaken traffic look like it's coming towards the rider at about 100mph which in real terms it is!
