Old news....been discussed and disproven a number of times. Check out the speed of the passing scenery. IIRC, the theory is that the electronic speedo has been altered.

 
Looking at the tach, I would guess he was up around 240mph since the 220mph speedo was pegged at 10k rpm! :dribble:

Definatly a busa with a turbo!

 
Interesting. I agree that the scenery is not going by nearly fast enough. Look at the road he passes at over 200. It should be a blurr, but isn't.

Also, I have a friend with a Busa. He tells me that they are famous for the Speedo rapping up much faster than they are actually going when you are running wide open.

I'm sure that guy is hauling ***, but its all relative. Also, interesting to note that if it is real, his front tire didn't come down until 140.

Having said all that, I suppose that with a turbo it is possible.

 
I'd guess a gearing change, but what do I know? I've spent most of my life working in a grocery store :(

Been staring at that avatar for 20 minutes now.....those things are real. I am getting tunnel vision, though.

The scenery doesn't film clearly because of the low quality of the recording. It's digital error that makes the lines and scenery appear in the recording to be moving slower then they actually are. When my cable gets slow I get digital error as well. Harder to reproduce moving parts of a picture are harder to create and the same blotchy slow moving picture is the result.

Bottom line, THAT GUY IS FLYING!
