[Shotimes] This is insane!!

[John Phillis]

upon furthur scrutiny, and further examination into the bike, as I do ride 
the rice in my scarce spare time, the hayabusa, in 1999 set a guinness book 
of world records. also found a couple sights with hayabusa.org, in which 
people complain that they only were able to get up to 200 mph after adding 
the turbo mod and the gsp switches.
if you ask me, 230-400 hp, on a turbo'd model with a vehicle dry weight of 
479lbs, almost insinuates that the purchaser/rider/design team either have

a)suicidal tendencies
b) extremely large testicles
c) need for adrenaline
d) really really severe windburn
e) all of the above

I used to fly a piper cherokee 140.  it had 140 hp, and a top speed of 
130mph, or approximately what speed this guy was still holding a wheelie at, 
in the "top end" video. theoretically, if given a large enough straight 
stretch of open highway, you could outrun a police helicopter, possibly 
while pulling wheelies.  :-)

just really impressed over here.

At least they warn you with red numbers that going over 190mph is dangerous.
