Watch the speedometer move, it goes from 100 to 160 instantly! Who's got the elephant ***** to ride one of these bikes?!?!?!?!

i might be wrong but i think his speedometer was in kph not mph, notice how the bottom numbers turn to three digits at the 160 mark ( 100 mph = 160 kph).
plus look how fast traffic is moving compared to the speedometer.

after all thats said and done, you'll never catch me even sitting on that bike!
definatly elephant nutz!!

Good point 1dirtyZ that speedo must be in kph, after watching the video again, especially the in traffic scene towards the end, if it was in mph some of those cars were doing 65 to 75 in what was probably a 40 or 45 zone. I was in awe the first couple times I watched it thinking the acceleration was registering in mph. Still a very cool video!

Sorry to disapoint you guys... But those gauges are in MPH <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> , KPH are the small numbers in the middle <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> . The '99 and '00 model Hayabusas came from the factory with 220mph gauges while the '01 and newer models are speed limited and have 180mph gauges. He just added a set of Mototeck 220mph white gauge overlays (like our HPA or MacEwen gauges) but they are reading in MPH. Here's a picture of a set of overlays for the 220mph gauge. Unfortunately I couldn't find a link that gave more detail on the older Mototeck gauges that this guy has, but compare the location of the numbers and you will see.

Can't possibly MPH... at the end he was going maybe 40 mph to 50 mph... and it said he was going 90 mph. He was in traffic and the other cars were definitely not going that fast. This bike really hauls ***, but was not accelerating as fast as the speedo led on.

Great vid of a bad *** bike though.

man you'd need a 20-ft enclosed trailer to haul the ***** necessary to ride that thing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> God, whatta ride! <img border="0" alt="[worship]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_hail.gif" />

I saw one of them at HRP. He hit 150 mph in the quarter mile. That's bad a$$ acceleration especially since it wasn't trailored in. He just rolled in off the street and ran somewhere in the 10's (I think).

10s for a bike is slow. I have a friend whos stock 600 runs 10.6 and its a 3 year old bike.

we've had a turbo one click off high 8s in street trim at gainesville raceway. Was sick!

CW 99 Z

If its not in MPH thats a slow azz bike. IF its in kph that means he never got much over 120mph. Anybody try to count what gear he was in? 5th gear at 10 grand I think.

1320

iTrader: (6)

um....I m not sure.....but I think 120 would be the first part of third gear......I ride a 99....and yes the factory gauge goes to 220....but I also have another turbo bike and yes that is mph.......Most turbo busa's can run low 9's at 155 or so pretty easy....those are 250 rwhp bikes......the one in the video makes about 370 to the wheel I think......

People always ask where you can go that fast?

Answer: ANY SIDE STREET......

A turbo bike is the closest thing I ever experienced to meeting god and live to tell about it....

FYI.
Brand new Hayabusa's have been known to run the 1/4 in the 9 to low 10 second range with average (not even profesional) riders right off the showroom floor! Thats with the stock 175hp (150 or so to the wheels) now imagine what can be done with 181lbs of boost... Nope, trust me those gauges are in MPH!

Here is a consensus of a few test results on the bottom of this page:

****....that thing is probably faster than the Space Shuttle with 181psi of boost. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Nasa might want to get ahold of that guy. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />

It says 18lbs of boost. See the L in lbs looks like a 1, hence 181. It's really 18 Lbs of boost. And yes, those gauges are mph!

BlackHawk

iTrader: (2)

Yes.
18lbs of boost...
It was a typo in my my post... geez!

Hmmm,
How far do you guys think the head would launch with 181lbs of boost? I'm guessing 15ft.
