Saw that a couple of days ago on another forum, that's a crazy video! They've got the cameras setup nicely too. I'd be so scared riding a bike that fast I'd probably crap...

good god...20 minutes...this is gonna be a while.

edit: damn...those were some high speeds...I've done 150 once, and I can only imagine what it's like going faster than that on a motorcycle!

I hit 120mph on a Honda CBR 1100XX once a few years ago. It scared the $hit out of me, only because I didn't even know I was going that fast believe it or not. I tucked and cranked the throttle open and when I looked down at the speedo as I let off the gas I was going 120mph. I think it was still in 3rd gear too, a few thousand from redline, though I didn't pay attention to how many times I shifted either. It was in a 35mph zone no less. :)

Blackbirds are pretty smooth. Not suprising you didnt realize how fast you were moving. Probably felt like 55 in a car.

remember that if you get a bike, always always fully suit up, no matter what the weather or how short the trip. jeans don't do crap. I've seen many people get more hurt than they needed to because they weren't fully suited.

Yes that is an incredicle feat for any car. Its a well known fact that only the fastest cars in the world can keep up with a crotch rockets acceleration.

well all the races were from a 45mph - 75mph rolling start. im sure the busa's wouldve left the viper in the dirt had it been a race from stop.
