Cool........... but 220km=136 mph

When I had to drive 30 miles each way for work last year, I would drive around 100 on the interstate everyday and get up to 140(high as my speedo goes) about every 3rd day.

Actually i believe that is a typo. If you look close at the speedometer he pins at 220 miles per hour because the little numbers are the kmh. It wouldnt be a good video if i bike only hits a 136. Thats not a big deal..but 236...thast something...

Now that it's all in perspective

Hmmm after watching it 3 more times, he is doing a wheelie to about 130. It looks like km, maybe I'm mistaken.

I was looking at that too. He starts the wheelie at 50 mph in first gear. Shifts into second at 80 mph, and ends the wheelie at 135. He is at 10,000 RPM when he shifts out of 1st.

That's badass, but if he hit a roach turd at that speed it's all over. He'd be hamburger for 1/2 a mile.

Guys that has to be miles per hour, count the shifts and watch the tach. He clearly shifts 5 times and ends up in 6th gear. Any big crotch rocket is going faster than 136 mph at 11000 rpms in 6th gear! That guy is nuts!!!

Wouldn't the white lines in the road be solid at 200+mph....look at the scenery going by...doesn't seem like 200+....maybe a hacked speedo on the bike?

My guess is an over optimistic speedometer. The other bike in the vid is a Suzuki Hayabusa and they are capable of 175+ so if its a 'busa then maybe... Either way a blowout at that speed and its

It pinned at 220 and he climbed another 1000 rpms after that. So if all was accurate probably at least 230-240 mph. Its hard saying if the speedo is correct by looking at the white lines and landscape in such a small view. I believe it i guess. Insane doing a wheelie up to 130 mph. I did see another video where some guy was doing a 180 and another guy smoked him. Ill post it.....

At full screen the 70mph/110 comes in focus every now and then. He's doing MPH for sure. So either the speedo is off a bit or he's doing 220+ Tuck and Roll.

That video does add credibility to the other one. You can clearly see the benefit of other vehicles in the picture, but also the risk.

He said he was doing 190, and he is in the left lane passing the car in the right lane, which gives a good perspective of his speed. Then he moves over into the right lane where he gets passed on the right side by the other bike doing at least 220. That was a close call, I sure hope they know what they are doing!?
