Tar and feathers are too good for this heretic.
Hayabusas don’t like going slowly in any type of terrain and w/o dirt tires, riding one in the dirt must be a real bitch. Imagine how much dust is in the rad and oil cooler.

What year? I ask because I know even my cousins 02 gixxer if bought in the US was able to switch back and forth to kmh and mph but when I tried to switch his I did some digging and found out that the Canadian bikes had the cluster locked so that it wouldn't switch for some reason. Didn't make much sense to me but found a WHOLE BUNCH of old forum posts on the imterweb of people mad as I was about it
That's also full exhaust and tune which isn't stock. He's often comparing stock bikes and as we've discussed before they are all restricted heavily because of Euro5. Post the stock chart...
Have a gander...
No where near 200hp stock..

His is an '06 but there is now way it will switch over..What year?

Now I as saying most liter bikes are over 200bhp not rwhp...That's also full exhaust and tune which isn't stock. He's often comparing stock bikes and as we've discussed before they are all restricted heavily because of Euro5. Post the stock chart...

The video posted is from 2017....lots of changes to liter bikes in 4 yrs as this is the competitive segment.
Here's one that shows the bhp progression of liter bikes over a few years...the 2020 chart is at the end...almost all liter bikes are over 200bhp stock.

Do you really want to be riding beyond 10,000 rpm just to find power from the engine... Let alone the lack of real torque below that
Nope, that's why I ride what I ride...
I’m only turning 5,000 revs @ 95 mph on mine with stock gearing in 6th gear.
Again, it doesn't matter what it's rated at, they are so restricted for emissions most don't actually make 200hp at the crank, fly wheel, whatever with a factory tune. Even the few that do make stronger "peak" numbers are complete neutered dogs down low.
Don't know what to say...I can only report on what is out there for information....
Companies (tuners) and manufacturers have gone to a lot of trouble to dyno these things to get these numbers. Those numbers are stock so I can only guess they go up substantially once the bike is unrestricted....similar to the Hayabusa I reckon...
Around here that'd get you pulled over as the plate is not clearly visible or illuminated...

Just watched the opening of that video. Now I understand why people shake their head and look away when I tell them I ride motorbikes.
Be responsible, go to a track or do that sh1t out in the middle of nowhere.
Americans do as they please... incredible as it may seem, they must have some new amendment in their constitution that frees them up to street race on their highways and byways I guess.
In any commonwealth country like NZ, Canada, Australia etc, the cops will chase you down and take your bike and your license on the spot.
Very responsible attitude you have there.
I used to be a hooligan on the streets, very Adrenalin pumping and a lot of fun and exciting racing my mates and doing high speed passes on car drivers laughing inside my helmet the whole time, a lot like 650ib.
I got busted a few times, book thrown at me, told to grow up etc etc so I got the Busas speed restrictions put back on and pulled 2 coil leads off to “tone it down a little” as the last cop I encountered suggested to me lol.
Seriously though. .... you are right, when it all goes wrong . . and it will someday, there will be many many regrets, so the public roads are NOT the place to race.
Try and tell our friends in the States that....
