Which is fastest?
Just looking at the nice picture of the latest Hayabusa on the back cover of Bikerider magazine and it's reference to the Peregrine Falcon, and I wondered which Falcon was the fastest. Car, Bike, or Bird.
I did a quick search on you tube and came up with this, it appears the bird is the real deal. Right at the end of the clip they say that they clocked the bird at 242mph, thats around 387kph

I put this one up a while back, impressive creature.
