Damn that thing is fast. I wonder what it tops out at. I don't know much about bikes, is that faster than a Hayabusa?

So now what do the

fools who say that bikes "aren't faster" have to say?.

A stock ZX10 will top out around 185 or so...Supersport-spec should raise that by about 10 mph.

My 12-year old 900 with 56,000 miles on it still turns high 10's in the low 130's....and I'm nowhere near the dragracer that the ZX10 pilot is.

I think it is faster. Here by us Hayabusas run high 9's or low 10's. Or maybe it is just that rider? (He's good isn't he?)
As for the top end, nowadays all bikes are limited to 300kph. Dunno what for though - what's the difference between 300 and say 320 huh?
