Hayabusa video – 220mph

By Paul Crowe

It’s hard to know what’s real anymore but this video of a Hayabusa going 220mph looks interesting. I know bike speedometers are often somewhat optimistic and we don’t know what else was done to the bike in question so without radar, I figure somewhat less. The wheelie portion was awfully fast. Is it real? Judge for yourself. But on a highway? Not smart.

    Don’t have the time, but the video can be imported into a video editing software. Then, say 10-seconds of video viewed in slow-mo to count the number of ‘passing lines’. But going out to the nearby highway and measuring the distance between those lines, we can estimate his/her speed.

    i know the guy who posted this video trys to make this look and sound as real as he can… but its not. when the speed-o needle moves look under it. it says kph not mph. i know it is debatable but, trust me on this one. he is auctally going about 136 mph.

    thanks for listening

    It’s a 220MPH speedo stock on the 2000 and 1999 models. After that the factory speedo read 185. Why would Suzuki put a speedo on a bike that reads 136mph when the bike stock can go 190+. I’m not going to argue whether he was going that fast or not but realize that a hayabusa is the fastest open wheeled vehicle in the standing mile at maxton running over 260 mph. It definitely could be true and probably is. These bikes with stock engines and turbo kits have been known to make over 300 hp to the wheel.

    One of my buds here in Huntsville, recreated this video on I-565, (without the wheelie at 140) and yes, this video is 100% real, that is an American version of the bike, and doesn’t have a KPH reading.
