No, homeboy would be running a smaller rear sprocket for more top end speed.

You're both right, you just misinterpreted shmike's post. If he were running stock gearing (or even worse, a smaller rear sprocket) he wouldn't have that kind of accelleration at 300kmh, and it'd take him miles to get there.

Dude's running a big rear sprocket and everyone is going by speed indicated, which is all but useless. The hash lines and other traffic would be damn near indistinguishable if he were truly running 186mph.
