Speedo Accuracy in Videos - is 204 mph really 204 mph? http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=IcKcCy7aodA
For a long time, I've wanted to show a video where the speedo and a GPS are framed together that shows the GPS unit sweeping past 200mph.
The old superkaos video showing his freeway blast where the speedo sweeps to 220+, but SK himself said it was wildly off in terms of accuracy but has been seen untold millions of times and hyped because of what it shows.
This is an Anderson Turbo equipped bike (very cool owner/rider BTW) with a stock wheelbase that just flys.
It might not be record-territory, but it is still pretty cool.

Since I don't have gps, I don't know...and I honestly don't care.
All that matters is if you're ahead of the other guy.
Please post the vid of this guy when a car pulls out in front of him
when he's doing a "gps verified" 204mph on a public street.

204mph on the street is retarded, yes... but so are the numerous 170-190mph race videos I've seen on here. And I can almost guarantee it took the bike less time to reach his speed. And two 3500lb cars going 170mph is far more dangerous than one 400lb bike going 200. Cool vid, btw.

611fwhp does 204 in a street car, oh wow. My car made alot more 611 and had the proper gearing, 190ish is what i claimed and you cant prove it wrong. Dont be so quick to jump on the bandwagon with all the other uneducated people, do your research and then post. 470-500whp in a properly equipped 3rd gen will do every bit of 190-200mph, prove me wrong if im so stupid. drag coefficient and frontal area combined with hp is all that matters, study it and youll see.

204 MPH on a public 2 lane road with side roads/driveways is beyond gay. I don't see much point in the vid, maybe I missed something? Does it matter if your speedo is off by 10 MPH? Vehicles that go 200 MPH safely have no need for a speedo anyhow.
