Re: [ST] not an ST....

[Neil Lindsey <NeilLindsey@xxxxxxx>]

hmmm...... I thought about it a bit more and now realize that, since the
Hayabusa is chain-driven, it would be possible to gear the bike down
with a countershaft sprocket change, thus increasing the likelihood that
you'd use all gears, and at a higher rpm for a given speed.

Anything is possible I suppose, but I think the speedo would still have
had to be altered as has been suggested.  I also agree that the camera
angle plays an important part in the perception of speed.

All things considered, I'm inclined to think that this video clip is
legit, but not everyone will agree of course.
