~165mph
I don't know, he wasn't very leaned over in the corner starting his run to reach 165 by the time he passed the camera. My guess is 135-145 tops, no matter what his speedo said.

The other two are 'estimated' at 135 somewhat liberally too I think. I just don't get the sense of that kind of speed even on full screen watching it many times.
BTW, what the hell are those guys saying in that video

I thought you would enjoy the Busa video though...esp.... the delayed sound effect when the Busa went by the camera.....I sure did. Not sure on the Busa speed at that moment.......but it was plenty fast when I was filming it and a weeeeeeeeee bit scarrrry to be standing that close to the road when it went by ......I can say that.
Comparision Purposes
Another sense you dont get on the video is just how long the straight is .....nor the uphill long straight coming to the turn which can be taken flat out in any gear you are brave enough to try....so getting carrying a pretty high speed out of that turn is possible.
Below is a second video of the ZRX and Aprilia which gives a longer and better view....and my new estimate
now is they are going 110 to 120mph at the camera which agrees with what you think.....buttt well over that at the end of the straight. So the q now becomes does this second video below used as a comparison help on just how much faster than that is the Busa going. I know this for sure....in person that day.... that Busa was realllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllly moving in comparison.....faster than 20mph more.... I have to say.

In any event it was a fun day there......and I wish you could have been there with us.

What are they talking about in the first Aprilia/ZRX1200 video?
Comment about Senior Brockovich was made by Bill Elliott from Canada related to the age of the guy riding the Aprilia......dont have a clue what it means.
Comment about the ZRX1200 being the "rare one" was made by Aaron and refers to James Elliott calling his ZRX "rare" one time at the rallies when most people never thought they were that rare.
