149mph seems quite tame in comparison, and yes the speedo is in MPH

The busa is a rapid wee beastie, but 'layby' on the left seemed to go by rather sedately for what was supposed to be at that point around 200mph.

Well faked tho.  :y

Though the Hayabusa will do 0-100 in around 5 seconds.

 :o Fair play to the bloke. Having seen that "it needs forced induction" isn't exactly the first thing to go through my mind. ;D

What is it with riding everywhere on the back wheel? Are they trying to reduce tyre wear or something?

Would they not feel more at home on a motorised unicycle? ;D
