Wow! Were you shifting at 12K? That thing is wicked fast. It makes me want to start saving up for a track bike, but I wonder if you could ever make a sportster that fast?? I guess you can do anything as long as you have the money and know the right people.

If the video didn't have the sound of your engine, I would have thought the video was sped up 2x.

That's wicked fast man

Exactly 285 kph = 178 mph. That is wicked fast, and would definitely take some getting to used to with out crashing and burning. Could you imagine having to lock up the breaks going that fast?

We were street racing one time and this woman pulled out in front of us. I thought she was far enough away not to be a problem but we ran up on her so fast i think the rear tire came off the ground when I hit the brakes. When we race we block the side streets to prevent this from happening but we missed this one. That could have been a bad.

What's nuts is that if you watch that 500 hp 'Busa, he's fighting to keep the wheel on the ground when he accelerates, even at speeds over 150.
