    Any validity to this?

    My cousin has a 954RR, and was claiming it was able to hit about 220-225, and was telling me it was doing about 170 or so in 4th gear. I smell BS. He says all it has is a pipe and it's geared up. Think that it's possible?

    Cedric - I sound like a chipmunk on there. Some friends of mine were like, "were you going through puberty?" I was like, no I was already 20, I just sound like a girl.

    MPH? No.

    Unless it has a stupid amount of bhp, but then it's likely to have fun spinning its wheels.

    220 is pretty crazy and unless it's race prepped I don't think it's possible, not to mention on public roads.

    I found this on You Tube, it's a Hayabusa clcoking at least 220mph, but you should see how quick the dial goes round when he brings the front wheel down.... at 140mph.

    I'm not sure whether to call him insane or just ****ing irresponsible and stupid... granted, he's a bit of a God on 2 wheels, but howsabout motorbike racing instead of terrorising the public and pissing off the police? Things like this happen:

    I have seen that before, guy didn't even have time to brake.

    The first video I saw of his was him tearing up and down an airfield which I thought was cool, but then doing it on the road and weaving through traffic, especially on a bike that he can barely keep the front wheel on the ground, that's just plain old idiocy.

    If you look at the rpm neddle it keeps going well after he hit the 220mph, so about 250mph?
