kilometers per hour.

BastardWaif · 10-09-2008, 02:54 PM

Of course it is.....duh on me! So he's getting up to about 150mph on the corners....you won't catch me doing that anytime soon! Wish we could see more of the girl......

186 miles per hour is still cookin! If it is accurate then wow - very dangerous.

ANLR21 · 10-09-2008, 05:36 PM

From what I can see, I'll believe kilometers per hour and an uncorrected speedo due to revised gearing. Even a -1 +2 in kmh will throw up some huge numbers.

No doubt the rider is flying, but I'm not buying those indicated speeds.

I think this is not fake and the guy knows every corner,but it is very dangerous and stupid

too!!!

**wrightme43** · 10-09-2008, 05:48 PM

I am thinking much bigger sproket.
I saw 290 kph I call shenanigins. Also the gear indicator says 4th and 5th.

If it is the new zx10 the numbers could be right, and yeah km/h.

However, he's riding like a soon to be deadman. Whether he knows the road or not, he is going too fast for the conditions ... and not staying in his own lane.

I had my GPZ1000 doing around the 250 kph mark ,there were gentle,open sweepers you could hold your speed on.But from experience I would say that vid is fake,there is no way you could do those speeds through those corners IMHO.
