This may add to the discussion on "Power of the Turbo".

This bike's speed looks more realistic

That barely looked like a 130mph.

Everythings going by so slow.

The highest number I saw on the speedo was 299. If that's kilometers, then it equates to 187 mph. Not sure if she's really going 187 mph in a hard corner as it indicates, but darn wild ride either way!

That thing was up to those speeds in no time, yet didn't seem to accelerate all that fast. Unless you have a JATO rocket on your back, faaahhhgetttabowwwdit.

This is hardcore! Thanks for posting.
Which bike is it? p.s. my colleague also thinks it's NO FAKE (and he's a sick driver himself both on public roads and race track)

That is hardcore , and it was in kilometers and its really hard to judge speed in a video, also if it was a turbo bike then things happen very fast ,acceleration is astoundingly quick . I was recommended that if I was to get a 1550 big bore kit 160 rwhp that a pingel or some such type quick shifter would be best to keep from over revving the motor, besides how do you fake speed on a electronic speedometer. It could be done but for 2-3 minutes of video ....not worth it

I don't think its a fake either, hitting redline in 5th at an indicated 299 kph. And the appearance of speed seems realistic, whomever it was is pretty sick/skilled, impressive speeds maintained in those corners, and with oncoming traffic. Probably in Europe somewhere. I'd like to know the details on the motorcycle used.

I'd like to know the details on the motorcycle used.299 kph is about 187 mph i been 195 it did not look like i was running in warp speed or a star track movie :laugh: .i can see him running 190mph but video speed to fastttttttttt.[video versus reality] :chair: :D :rolleyes:[[[[FAKE]]]]

Sorry Guys,

I have no idea on the bike as i was sent the Video from a mate. I beleive that the Speedo is ringing true. I've been 240km's and this looks like what i was seeing at the time.
