People who lie about their bikes..

Assuming the bike has been "delimited" from the stock 186mph circuitry (which isn't that hard to do), properly geared, a 217 mph Busa is not outside the realm of possibility.

I rode a stock 2000 model to 190+, and it still had legs.

Most GPS's have a top speed read out page. Ask for a picture.

Sport rider got a first gen Busa to 202mph with a turbo kit. 217 takes alot of power.

A stock(other than pipe, PC3/5 and timing mods) should do around mid 190s, I doubt it would hit 200.

Was it leaking oil?

What year were they "detuned" I recall cycle world doing an article saying that year busa could do 197 prety much stock.

Pic from a turbo busa. I don't think it's possible w/o a turbo, but it apparently is with one.

With the right gearing (17/40), and a long enough road, a stock 1st gen. Busa could theoretically hit 216.

Would it have the ass to do it? Theoretically I could pedal my bicycle with the right gearing up to the speed of light. But as of now I'm lacking the leg strength.

2001, but they were never really detuned, they had speed limiter installed. About six months later, a guy came out with a bypass for the limiter.

197 in stock trim, sounds about right.

I don't know, that's why I said theoretically.
