I love how everyone on this board as soon as they see something, they scream FAKE!

I've ridden a GSXR-600 at 160 mph and the white lines were solid, but thats looking at them with my eye not a video camera. Things are much different.

 

Dude, settle down. I don't think anyone's disputing how fast the bikes CAN go, but rather that this video is a FRAUD.

Watch it again. Take a look at the surroundings. NOW, go out and time the stripes on your local interstate. Better yet, take your own video of the same perspective. See for yourself.

I don't know. I keep watching it. It looks the same when he's at 100 as he does at 220+. I just think something is fishy.

 

I held a cbr 600 f3 wide open for about 6 miles and wouldn't go any over 163mph! I'm sure a bike with twice the engine could go 60 miles an hour quicker no problem.

BTW: You don't look down going that fast, you look as far ahead as you can!



aww to be young and stupid

 

I'll show the guy I work with the video tomorrow. He's a crotch rocketer. I'm interested in his take. I keep watching it, but it just looks odd still. I've noticed more of the reflection from the gauges, and it all jives from what I can see, but I can't get past the Median crossings seeming to go buy no faster at 220 than at 120.

 

if you look at the reflection in the visor of the bike when he hits a wheelie you can see trees in the back ground. and on those bikes the speedos can be bought so that it can be read up to 220. and you can also put nitrous in them.

 

Ill be the oddball here and say its real....HA take that biattchhh

 

you can see a difference in the lines.

 

i think that this is real

 

how far apart do you think those median crossings are? whats the standard? 1/2 mile?

cause it takes him about 7 seconds to get to the next one....

and there is a definite difference between the stripes when he sets it down at 140 and when he's at 220

 

well, stripes are usually a 30'/10' skip.

 

he is going to about 220 listen to the gear changes and look at the rpm's
i have a cbr1100xx it will hit about 180 or so without any mods , to hit 220 he has modified his bike

 

i would say that he is going 230 to 240. at 10,000 rpms he is going 220 and his speedo is maxed. he continues to go till his bike bike hits 11,000.

 

Definitely fraudulent !

At well over 100 the front wheel is still off the ground...only a world class rider could do that on a race track.

The road markings are just not going past quickly enough....

Living in Europe I've had the chance to move pretty quickly down the autobahns and believe me the scenery is moving more quickly than that.

The fastest I've driven recently is in my Aston DB7 at just over 140 and the scenery is pretty much a blur even then !

 

i have done 175 on my cbr1100 it wasnt as much a blur as i thought it would be

 

Yes, but it's different through your own eyes and that of a camera...

You are concentrating so intently at that speed...especially at points in the distance. In fact with that buzz and adrenalin you are probably seeing MORE clearly than at any other time !
A Camera gives an entirely different perspective !
