It is a fake.

Maybe. Maybe not. On my monitor, i can read the kph markings as smaller numbers inside the mph numbers. The thing that got me wondering was the fact that the 0 - 200 acceleration was too slow to be kph.

The bike he passes at the beginning is a suzuki hayabusa. assuming the camera bike is the same (it isn't, the dash is wrong) it says here

hyp4r.com

that a hayabusa can do 0-200 kph in less than 8 seconds. my sloppy measurement using my wristwatch looks like 19 seconds while watching the video. way too slow to be kph, wheelie or no wheelie.

of course these bikes are now production limited to 200 kph (so it is rumored) but you got all kinds of guys doing modifications.

i've watched these kind of guys...i still think it's possible.
