Bike is geared down...simple as that. Bike speedos are off horribly (around 10%) from the factory anyway.
Ex:I had my bike to 169 mph indicated on saturday. I know for a fact through GPS that my speedo is off by 10.5% (My bike is geared down 1 tooth in the front), so I was ONLY going 151 mph true ground speed.

I know it's hard to believe on that video.... but it looks fast for sure. One thing I know though is that when I went to a Suzuki dealer asking for a test drive on the 1300cc Hayabusa he said "nobody test drives that one unless they buy it" -- a few days later my brother in law went to another dealer asking the same question and he did get the same answer.
That tells me something about a 1300cc hi-tech rocket.
To this day it seems like this bike still holds the title of world's fastest motorcycle.

Must be time to dust off that 1000 hp s/c'd Viper vs the built GSXr on spray video. I will never forget how the speedo on the bike went 120, 130, 140, 150, & out of picture as fast as my tach moves in 2nd gear. Bikes are just plain STUPID fast anymore! Way too fast for an old man like me to ride.

j/k I'm sure you can ride a 'bike' just fine but would you want to go that fast?

When I go through the traps in the 1/4 my speedo reads 148-149 and my slip says 138-139. I have some friends with turbo Busa's, but most are just spraying. As for the GPS ?? - Alot of people have a GPS system that they mount on the tank of the bike and it will track you (distance traveled in a certain time) thus calculating your speed. That video is 100% believable.
