Its a good video....guy is an idiot riding through traffic like that.

This is a European video and the speedometer is read in Kph and not Mph which accounts for the 200+ wheelies.

He barely even gets into boost. I'd say it was pretty dumb of him to slap a turbo on his bike if he's too afraid to hit the revs where it would be useful.

well if he tired to use it he would flip the bike over, it needs an extended swing arm to actually use the power, but then if you slap it in 6th gear you'll go over 200mph. R1's are little skinny short wheelie bastards. Theres fast, but there can ALWAYS be faster.
