200mph+ on video

One of the guys at our last meet managed to capture this video of my bike at over 200mph. If you crank the sound up you can here it accelerate in 4th gear, then change into 5th, spin the tyre then grip before shutting off. This video was on the Saturday of our event where I ran 203, 204 and 203mph on consecutive runs, so it will be one of those. On the Sunday we ran the opposite direction and caught a tailwind so mananaged to get into top gear earlier and hang onto it longer for 211mph.

Oh yeah! :woohoo:
Hearing that motor reving like that sent chills down my spine! :cheer:

It sounded like it wasn't even at max rpm's either.
You weren't by chance sand-bagging it to try and sucker some poor sap on a 'Busa into running for titles, were you? :whistle: ;) :evil:

My bike doesn't rev high cos it only has the standard ignition and some Dyna coils and the spark breaks down above 9000rpm at this boost level. This run was at about 9600rpm. The 211mph run was bang on the 10,000rpm redline. The ignition system is one of the things I'll be fixing for this year.
