Nice share!  Wild how much time that front wheel even touches the ground too.

Nice one ;)
Initially thought that the bottom run of the chain looked a bit tight .
But after watching video "maybe not" ;D ;D.

the top run of the chain is where all the action is...just take a normal ride alongside your bud with no chain guard sometime and have a look
If it works good, it looks good...

Just watched the video again .
It's frightening to think that we used to split and re rivet chains at race meetings  ::)before running some "serious" speeds .

The video only plays the first 20 seconds for me then stops. I don't even get to see the launch.

My buddy Jason Herron recorded a video from the same angle on a pass for his real street Hayabusa drag bike. Very similar video.

Original video works for me still using Chrome.  20 seconds in he starts his burnout and then around 1:04 he launches with it all being over by 1:15 for the most part...
Could be network traffic or other factors causing the delayed transmission.  Or, you have slow internet feed.
Sorry if it doesn't work for you.
Try the YouTube feed:

Kawasaki on Autobahn doing 300km/h is passed by Audi RS6

300km/h is about 186 mph

Alternative site for the feed:

Pass occurs by :20 with the motorcycle giving chase thereafter...
