I could drag a knee the first time I rode your GS... I'd just have to ride really close to a wall

Can he prove it with his GPS?

I mean fuck, if my bike could do 217mph I'd have video of that fucker doing 217mph.

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.

at that point I'd have video of the brown streak on my seat. 135 was good enough for me.
