Do the conversion for KPH to MPH, then you have the true story. Maybe 140

Even if you had the HP to push the bike that fast, I would think that such a light bike with such a short wheelbase would not be stable at that speed.

That the wackiest comment ever, all of them actually.
Over 200 mph equal a sudden lift off for a bike. It will be too difficult to keep a 370 pound bike down at those speeds. Unless you are a 500 lb rider may be you can pull that off. Fatty!!

Anything over 170 and the speedo goes nuts not accurate at all.

A hayabusa is a gixxer. It's a gsxr1300. Gsxr = gixxer

I agree with the people that said KPH, she has to have it set to that, she probably goes to slow everywhere she goes to thinking its in MPH

Either that or she can't read...or just a ding bat as Archie Bunker would say.

Actually a Busa Is a GSX1300R not a Gixxer. The equavilancy of a GSX kanatuna 1300 on steroids

And the only Busa I saw doing that speed was a turbo'd busa and it was for a land speed record and only one guy holds in for a bike like that.

Listen kid, your manners are almost as lacking as your knowledge of sportbikes. Sit quiet and let the grownups talk, ok?

It's not about the weight. It's about how air flows over the bike. A bike that would get lift at 200mph will do so whether it has a 185 pound rider or a 500 pound rider. 200mph is enough to get an airplaine off the ground, so having a fat guy on it is not going to "hold it down".

The problem with a GSXR1000 going that fast is a short wheelbase, and the aerodynamics.
