X2, I forgot the actual correction factor, but it's usually like 10+MPH at that speed.

That dude is a retard, and needs to learn how to stay in his own lane. He almost got wiped out by that dude on the 'busa.

Yeah, a gear change can set the speedo off by a LOT...

Well considering he called it a "Byuuzaa" it sounds like it's from Europe. And they use KPH, but that would have to mean the R1 is topping out at roughly 118mph which i think it's safe to say they're faster than that. lol

If that's Ghost Rider, i wouldn't be surprised at all.

See how fast the R1 passed that suv truck whatever? He was booking, it wouldn't be suprising if he was doing 190, stock busa will do a little bit faster than that right? So if it was a fully modded turbo busa...

A stock Busa is limited to 186 IIRC as it had to be lowred because it could out run police aircraft. But I dont know if this was just on the US spec bikes or what. You can remove the top speed limiter which flat out they will do about 196 on GPS from what Ive seen. When you start adding power the top speed will increase with the limiter taken away obvesely.

DAM# IT!!!

You beat me to it! They are stating 190 Kilometers/Hour

Which isn't flying very fast at all . . . I cruise the highway at XXX miles/hour in 6th gear everywhere I go (I know the local FHP trolls these forums ). Just got back from Clearwater Beach outside of Tampa to Fort Lauderdale in less than 2 1/2 hours
