Thread: How Not to ride my bike

Judging by the speed at which the lines and oncoming cars are passing, I think the speedo has been doctored to read high. The stationary objects beside the road are also not passing by quick enough for that to be honestly 270km/hr.

That would also explain why the engine note is not very high-pitched.

I would like to know how they Doctored the digital speedo as that instrument cluster is a sealed one piece Check out the tacho doctored that aswell..with factory pipes they aren't too noisy..but with a full Yoshimura Race system on like mine...sets off car alarms

The manual and dynos state top speed is 286km/h but as all speedos the err as the get faster..his is suss how it drops/washes off huge speed amounts for little visible braking?
