Looks fake to me.  At 150 or whatever speed he was going the cars coming at him didn't seem fast a all, seemed about the same as when the speedo said 80.  Also, look at the tach, it said 8,000 and his speed was 120???

On a side note, if there were some hills and some more curves it could be where I ride here in S. AL.

So we only have their word that the speedo is in MPH!  :roll:
I reckon my bike will go over 160 as well- km/h that is.  :)

Ah, didn't think about that...  Damn Yanks, always the center of the universe!  So, he wasn't REALLY going all that fast after all.  It didn't seem very fast looking at the cars going by.  Makes sense now...

I picked up my Ninja last night and took it out between rain events today.  Took it to 110 on a back road (45 zone) and it got there EASILY and rode like a dream.  

I'd say that guy was doing 80-90, stuff was moving by too slowly to be any faster.

Remember, 160 km/hr is roughly about 100 mph, so I reckon you're in the ball park.
