Wonder what it would do on the long course with different gearing.

Where was that done? Texas/Florida?

The ones I have seen at Bonneville spin at about 185 with the big, fat tires.

With all these new non sanctioned venues, it make syou wonder about the quality of the timing equipment and if the times are compareable.

a video read out from a dash speedo makes me even more doubtful

Agree'd .. and then there is an issue with "time".  Takes 25-26 secs for Hayabusa (from my old data logs) to cover the mile and crack 200.  Figured that a 252 mph pass, even with a heavy o' car, would take less time.
