Not real... His spedo is not right. Look at the white strips, when he slows down to 100mph the white stripes are barly moving like he is doing 50mph. I've been 180mph and at that speed the white stripes become a solid line. Also his mph increase way to fast in relation to the gears he is using...I've been riding fast bikes for 15 years and this is a fake...

don't know if he is really going that fast. But it would scary to go that on a bike.
Here is another one. One guy crash his bike onto the living room table.

He also hit 220 with the tach at 10k and went up to 11k before he shut it off.

Well, the bike has a turbo, and with proper gearing, 200 MPH would be easy. A Hayabusa at 11,000 rpm would be doing over 190 mph in 6th gear. The speedo however is usually very optimistic, so the reading there will be high. I have a ZX12r, and it would hit 194 at the rev limiter on the dyno (dyno readout, not speedo). In current form (177 RWHP), Idon't think it would hit 194 on the street, but with a Turbo (250-500+ RWHP) it can and easily will happen.

That video comes from the Superkaos website. You can believe the video or not, but a bone stock Hyabusa will do 300km/hr (188mph). That particular bike is 400+hp and it taps out 6th gear. ”Taps out” means the engine is all done pullinｇ. If it were stock, that would be 180mph. If the sprocket was changed, it would either be banging off the limiter in 6th or they detuned the bike so it only looked like the motor was tapped out. Also, if you look close in the wind screen, you can see from the scene behind the bike that the front wheel is only off the ground a foot or so for several gears. That's sick acceleration. You should see Ghost Rider 1 and 2. This guy has a 500hp Busa that pulls acceleration wheelies from 200mph. One of the European stunt riders set the world record for a 200+mph wheelie on a 500hp Busa this year.

Here's a sample from Ghost Rider 2. You can buy the vids from their site. This is a poor quality vid to keep the size down. In the real thing, you can see the chase bike speedo clearly. It's sick.

My bike will do every bit of 170 and I do it on a regular basis so I'm very familiar with triple digit speeds on a bike - sorry but this video was obviously doctored - fake - at the end of the video when the bike is supposedly doing 100 he's doing 50mph tops you can tell from the center lines and the oncoming traffic. When he hits 220mph the rpm's continue to go up but the speed remains the same ... whoops sorry that's not real! oh.. and isn't the speedo pickup in the front wheel? mine is .... how does this speedometer keep going up when the front wheel is off the ground? The front wheel actually stops turning or turns very slowly when your riding a wheelie that long ... then when you set the front wheel down at over 100 there is a very loud chirp which is from the tire hitting the pavement when it's not turning. And if you still think it's real ... the wheelie was done in one gear there was no shifting - shifting while doing a wheelie changes the angle of the bike even if you're using an air shifter the front wheel will drop a foot when you're changing gears.
FAKE!
