that's been bootin around the net for a while. the general consensus is it's a bit BS cause its jsut too fast etc. prolly jsut the usual liberal speedo plus some serious sprocket swapping making it liik a good 20 or 30% faster than it is

Busa are fast, BUT did you see how fast the needle ran into the 220 mph peg? Only in a dream!

Definitely a dream. Probably running a 16/50 or so. Also explains how easy the bike came up in the wheelie. The only way that bike is going to 220 that fast is strapped to a Saturn V Rocket. And yes Bean you ca pull the same stuff on your 12.

It is definatly geared, I had my bike up to 205 with the stock gearing and the road did not look anything like that! I would say Way geared, that would be my vote, still fun though!

I think the other thing that is likely is that the bike has a replacement speedo face on it. Probably has a 185 speedo with a 220 face.

I've had mine burried 220 on the guage but using 17/47 gearing. Not gonna happen without boost on a N/A bike using stock gearing or less. The speed-O is not accurate measurement of real speed.
