This bike is putting out some ridiculous power. Wheelies into 6th gear, to the point that the power is nowhere close to being usable. He has to back off as soon as rpm's touch 10+ it looks like. I've watched it a couple times, wow.
EDIT: And for the record, the fun stuff really starts around 2minutes. Give it some time.

for those of you that have never checked out the ghostrider videos, maybe youtube those.. Higher speeds, but at least the ghostrider has his powerband tuned out. If this particular guy misses a shift? He's on his back.

well its not to bad. there is worse bikes out there I'm sure of it. if we as people can make cars that loose traction @ 7k+ then a bike loosing traction @ 10k+ isn't that bad.
however i cant read the digital read out on the speed. damn you glare

Most redlines for your average honda-build are going to be around the 8k marker, especially for a turbo build, If not lower. That being said. A car losing traction at 7k plus once the boost goes nuts, is probably to be expected
7/8 equals 0.875 of that build's usable band. So a car losing traction at 7k is not necesarily comparable to this bike losing traction at 9k or so (Watch the wheel jump in gears 1-4..)
Quick math.
9/14 equals 0.64285xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx let's say 65% to make it simple.
The builds you mention at least take advantage of around 87% of the power they're making and turn it into usable horsies. This bike is operating around the 65% marker. Meaning, if he wants to use more of "them" he needs to start revamping that suspension. I love the power, I just wish he was USING all of it.
