No it says 43 km/h and a partridge in a pear tree.
Of course it says 315, although there is some contention about it being a fake. I have seen this pic (or other similar ones on the net before) and there has been discussion about are they real/fake. My money is as this is the second time i've seen a pic like this in a few years, it's quite possibly real.

Fake. Don't they only read up to 115km/h or similar?
Also the bike would be a blur at 315, looks too sharp.

The numbering on the speed is a slightly different colour to the "Your Speed" part, and the spacing is wrong. Def a fake.

On two other notes...

1, bikes of that era a power/gear limited to 300kph, 315 would be tough unless heavilly modded

2, the guy is not hunkered anywhere low enough for that kinda speed.

+1 for PhotoMike.
Lettering, stance and the timing of the photo?
I reckon it's a 35kph job with a only semi-decent camera (hence the blur), with an added photoshopped "1" in the middle (hence spacing and color).

I think that is the biggest give away. Look how high his head is. His neck would be snapped back at those speeds...

But still a cool photo :twisted:

Well the 315 would be the actual lights... whereas the Yourspeed and KMPH would be painted on.... so it would make sense...
The world is round. It has no point.
