Perhaps, but that's what the speedo says. Even if it's 10% off it's still 100+
And to the comment regarding having more than one gear: because accidental power wheelies in 1st gear are not fun lol
How fast will your bike go...

You did say that - with stock gearing it is around 10 percent less give or take
Paul's 1000 hits around 60 at red line in first
I dont have a 1000, i ride a 125
He does 200km/h wheelies apparently. The wind resistance must be horrible.

Stock gearing but the stock rear was a 50. When I put a 55 on it I found it read a little closer.

So yeah, this is a thing. Just looked up the wheelie video, seen it many times before but here it is. Insanity. Watch the speed when he wheelies. Around 2:42
300+ km/h

I dont know for sure as I dont know his setup, but alot of moddified bikes have gearing changes without speedo re calibration....Like my stunt bike, if Im doing a wheelie at 120km/h my gauges read 250km/h I could post that on youtube and you would believe I was actually doing 250km/h?
not saying he didnt do that speed, just not to believe everything you see on youtube....
I thought it seemed unrealistic but I didn't know that. Thanks
So what do you think? How fast was it? Had to be close to 200mph.
I have no idea, as I said it really depends on the bike setup....And what gearing it has, and if it has had the speedo re calibrated, and if so how accurate that calibration is...
Every tooth makes a difference in what the speedo will read...Even your tire wear affects your speedos accuracy, as the diameter of the wheel makes a difference in the calculation of revolutions=speed
When it comes to things like this you really need a radar gun to get accurate IMO, even GPS isnt that accurate depending on what device your using...
Well it showed him pass by someone pretty damn quick and the guy he passed's speed was 299. You see that in a lot of youtube videos (people maxing out the speedo) so I think we can confidently say ghost rider guy was doing at least 320 km/h, judging by how quickly he passed the other guy going 299(285 actual speed maybe)

I could be wrong though. I don't look down at my speedo much for safety reasons.
Use less throttle
