I did 331 km. per hr. (confirmed by GPS satellite speedo. ) on my 2000 Honda Blackbird (street legal; licensed). Very minor "improvements" on ign.; intake and exhaust. I was 64 yrs. old at the time. The faster I went the more "stable" the bike felt. Not "scary" at all. I would do it again at 72 if my knees weren't fu**ed LOL
Bert Munro, a 68 year old Kiwi, did a run of 320km/hr on a 1920 Indian scout he had modified, on the salt flats in 1967.
@@mirandahotspring4019 His story was made into a movie with Anthony Hopkins playing Bert. The movie is called "The World's Fastest Indian".
@@JungleDjinn Yes, I know. I also misspelt his name, he preferred Burt.
Yeah I know what you mean, once you get past about 160 mph everything seems to get smoother. I suppose that's where the millions spent on the aerodynamics earns it's money.
@@ax1066a-ghd2 ... good for you; hope all goes well; I had one replaced and now I have a Fiero with a V8 in it to play with😄
Wow, 394MPH. That’s incredible. Congratulations to Rocky, and the rest of the Team. Great Documentary on the Land Motorcycle Speed World Record. I really enjoyed this. I do go 75 Mph sometimes, but I’m 62 on a R1200GS. That’s fast enough for me.👍😁 but when I was 18 I had a Z1 900 and took it up to 110Mph just to do it once. Scared the shit out of me and never did it again.
well, when I was 14 we drove a 64 Malibu towards Tombstone at 140mph. Had my dads vette up to 135mph in 1967. Only had one bike that would go over 110, had it, a Yama 700, up to 140 with my 9 yr old son onboard. Had my dad's vette, after I bought it, up to 170 on N2O. Now we have a Tesla dual motor... not sure if honey is gunna let me open it up. But 60 does come up in 4 sec.
Sounds like you shouldn't be riding motorcycles.
The fastest I ever rode was on a 1985 Ninja 900 at 155 mph. I presently have a 2001 BMW K1200RS. It's supposed to go over 165 mph but I have never tried it. I'm much older now and have more sense.
I have done top speed on my Thunderace, and R1 dozens of times. 170mph ish. I did 146mph, the top speed of my first big bike a GSX750F on the way home from the shop in Aylesbury to South London where I bought it, scratched both footpegs through Tooting too, never looked back. Aren't motorbikes fantastic. Those speeds on salt flats though seem suicidal to me
Yeah, I was on the back of a Z1 900 many years back when the rider put his head down at top speed without warning.
They are scary speeds on 2 wheels. Loved the Z900 though but preferred the Triumph and Harley motors for different reasons
When everything seems lost, the really tough hang in there and WIN!
Gives me goosebumps... would love to give it a shot... Congratulations on a monumental effort that succeeded!
At 18:27 it is inferred that it is "the holy grail" of motorcycle racing. As a rider of 50 years, I'm pretty sure the vast majority of riders would tell you the Isle of Man TT is the holy grail and probably couldn't tell you when the last time the record at Bonneville was broken, by whom, and what speed was attained. Bonneville results are of interest to a very very small percentage of the motorcycling world. Don't get me wrong because there is a degree of interest in it but there is something that we see and feel when a rider goes blastin by at close to 200 mph and then negotiate a turn with with his head 2 feet away from a dry rock wall. We like to see a few turns along with a few hills and valleys, throw in some dogs n cars n trees n rocks n sh*t to keep it interesting. That's what makes biking a challenge to us. Going fast in a straight line not so much...........except for drag racing which has more appeal to street riders than Bonneville will ever have mainly because you can see the whole shootin match without a set of binoculars...............and they blowed up good, real good.
And always remember the good Doctor John Hinds, March 21, 1980 - July 4, 2015, one of the best that ever lived.
I am a ridder of 50 years to and I think the Isle of Man TT is "the holy grail" for ridders and the world record for top speed is more of "the holy grail" of engineering, not to say that it doesn't take a super ridder for both.
Agreed.
Although it's technically called a rally, I think the Dakar rally is the holy grail of motorcycle racing
@@ToyotaKTM No. Isle of Man.
Agreed
So much like Burt Monroe's story of his Indian, congratulations.
That's awesome! Good for them. Seems like a really great crew and owner.
All the Riders & Drivers who attempt Land speed Records have got the guts but also need "Good luck" as well 👍
That guy with the fastest Indian - Bert Munro from New Zealand was the man.!!!
The boss should have listened to the rider earlier instead of assuming he didn't know how to shift a bike into high gear.
I could not agree more.
"The boss" needs to stop micromanaging the attempt. He has a great team and a great machine. Set them free.
Congratulations, great job. Greetings from switzerland.
I hope they have a speed week this year in 2021! been too long since the last running

looking for a "qualified" individual willing to drive 400 mph+ in my homemade experimental motorcycle
400 mph is 2 football fields a SEC0ND. Bonneville is 8 to 14 miles long on a good day. My question; What horse power will you have and how much of it is at the low end of your REVS to get to 400 mph?
@@raycarolewallace466 The difference between 394 and 400 could be the smallest change in the aerodynamics given that drag is proportional to the square of speed. Or, traction at any given hour could easily make 6 MPH. Many years ago I was able to measure 10% wheelspin at my top speed of 121 on 15 cu. in.
@@perrysims3320 They are spinning a LOT more than that now. The 1,000cc bike I helped tune had 80Lb of lead in his swingarm and his entire run(s) were still all about throttle control, trying to keep it from spinning "too much" (wasn't ever able to get/keep the throttle wide open on any of his runs)...
@@KCadbyRacing I don't doubt it. Almost all the 4-wheel streamliners are ground effect cars now. I was excited about the Carbonite Car. I thought the design was a good step. It is still to be proven. I don't think that their innovative design brought them down, but a nasty mechanical failure.
Nice !
125mph front straightaway at Bridgehampton RaceTrac on Long Island
This is a excellent crew to have with you.
394 - wow!!!
The increase in parasite drag is equal to the Square of the increase in velocity...
Yeah, that got that bit wrong. I'm trying not to be a Karen!
Model the gearbox in shop and see what’s stopping gear change maybe oil viscosity. My point is it may take 3d model as well as theoretical. Wouldn’t shaft drive have less drag? Was there in 1986--nothing like a record!!!
Do know David Campos
Wheel alignment
Make the final drive sprocket a ratchet fit, so there is no rear wheel-driven chain drag while changing gears. My %0.02 worth of superfluous comment. Also, consider using high temp automatic synthetic fluid in the gearbox, preferably with its own little radiator. i think the high revs are spinning the oil off the gears and shafts, making shifting near impossible. More RPM will possibly make the same difficulty happen at lower gears. Another thought is d a derailleur type of rear sprocket cassette--maybe a two-sprocket or even a three, two the same at a lower ratio, and a higher one in the middle for the record.
270kmh (167mph) 2-up on a road bike is my best. That was in the 1970s on a stove-hot bridge-ported 750cc 2-stroke, and Dunlop K-81 road tyres........
Was the bike a Kawasaki kh series ??. If i remember right those things were fine in a straight line but jelly in bends.
'' David Burne '', almost and sounds the same as one of my favorite singers , ''David Byrne , Talking heads ''My best was 155 on a Yamaha FJ1100. that was on the M23 from peas pottage to the Gatwick turn off
@@MrTarmonbarry Suzuki water bottle, actually, more reliable HP when ported to the edge of lunacy with the water cooling. Bloke who designed the mods designed the chambers as well (he was an acoustic engineer) and made the middle cylinder’s tuning a little different so it always ran a notch richer. Only reliability issues were more regular ring changes and blowing up the clutch on my second quarter mile run - blew apart the clutch basket and destroyed the side cover. Other than that it was a terrific bike.

Who needs some stinking six speed to break a world speed record
14: 57, It's Irritating that you played music racket while we're trying to hear the narrative and the bike. Do you go to Bonneville and play that racket? Stop catering to addicted.
Good God, tire made in 2006 and now with 2019 almost 13 years later, what about dry rot ?
Large lad doesn’t sell himself well. Prolly dunt care.
Holy Grail of motorcycle racing......that would be the Isle of Mann TT.
I enjoyed the documentary. I was emotionally involved and that's a sign of a good movie.
That transmission problem was probably in the shifting mechanism, not necessarily in the gears themselves, but in the shifting drum (s). It is very rare and almost undetectable to the naked eye, but a worn peak on a shifting groove will not allow the bike to be shifted to the next gear. Such a problem cost me a win at the 1893 WERA National Finals in the 550 modified class on a Yamaha Seca 550. It was still incredible that they were able to compensate losing 2 gears and still by gearing the machine and upping the boost, achieve 394 MPH in that last run. They didn't mention it, but combined with the 371 MPH pass, that would average out to a 382 MPH record it my math is correct. Good video, and I'm not a Bonneville or even a drag racing fan, but I love almost all types of motorcycle racing and certainly respect these "Kings of Speed on 2 Wheels" whether 11 miles or 1,000' in a straight line.
Interesting - this happened in 2010, and nobody has gone faster since.

Glorious times when Burt Munroe won fastest Indian of the world with his commuter bike ..... Still nice to see how the nutjobs obviously aren't done with speed'n aerodynamics in Bonneville yet! Thanks for filming and sharing.
Hell of a driver. Knows his machine better than anybody else. Good stuff.
That's what made Valentino Rossi so good
I had a Hayabusa B-King for a few years. I decided to see how fast it would go. Got on the interstate, and slowed down until there was a completely clear road ahead. Dropped the hammer, WFO, and saw 185 in fifth gear, going UPHILL. Decided not to even bother with sixth gear. That thing WUZ a beast.
You stopped pushing right where it ends. The bike can but wont break the gentlemen agreement. Unless... I have a carbed ninja that do 215 and you can feel god at that speed. Also the chain, even tight enough will machine the front sproket housing. I think they say the chain weight several tons at that rpm (13500)
It's amazing just how far ahead you have to be watching out for any traffic or anything moving in front of you, probably mile or more.
Fastest I've been on a bike is around 165 back in the 1980's.
@@1crazypj I went 135 on a GPz 1100
I know that’s slow compared to these days, but it was fast for me
@@PInk77W1 My sister was telling her friend she wouldn't go fast with her son on back of her GPZ600. He told his mum the truth though , 135 LOL
@@1crazypj yikes
Why use a clickbait thumbnail?
It’s a Hayabusa engine they can take the punishment.
With the tire problem solved the parachute doors should have gone back on
Congratulations! So Rocky rides a Guzzi? Great"
Pity you could not mention Don Vesco or Burt Munro in your intro... Bonneville + 2 wheels = Vesco. Balls + 2 wheels = Burt Munro!
PS: I'm old enough to remember Donald Campbell breaking John Cobb's record and exceeding 400 mph on four wheels - and he had a turbine from a jet aircraft!
The Worlds fastest Indian
3:13
Something to ponder, that we don't
necessarily think about as he brings
up; When you're going 350mph you're
basically facing a 350mph wind.
Stick your hand out the window at
80mph, No, on second thought have
a friend demonstrate that for you.
:)
Still wondering why it wouldn't shift into 6th gear.
A young racer from Chicago had a transmission problem in his Golden Hawk and fixed it with Studebaker slick "stuff". Bought the product rights and named it STP. His name was Anthony Granatelli.
Just think what he could’ve done if he had fifth and sixth gear amazing
Whoever put the music on the engine noise needs to be sacked.
Can you imagine being disappointed going 327 mile an hour?
Yup
If I had something faster, sure ! On my GSX1100 nope !
I was genuinely smiling at the end, and to think Rocky had another two gears he could've used!
Why are we here?
To set a record!!
Because the transmission wouldn't shift they geared it taller so it couldn't/wouldn't have been able to pull the higher gears...
computational fluid dynamics tells me that a crosswind will blow the bike over sideways
The understanding of the gyroscopic effect of two wheels spinning at those speeds in a vertical plane tells the rest of us that it won't.
Now rocky has the new record at 376 mph
Brakes are useless at these speeds that got my attention.
Computers that adjust aerodynamic stabilizers is the solution to higher speeds.
burt munro
Completely different design and budget :D
I've done 160mph on bikes....I'm lucky to be alive especially all the crazy riding at 110-130mph......I count my blessings
Eh.. my rebel 250 is fast enough for me. She'll cruise at 75, tops out maybe 10 beyond that.
I love bonneville and this video only lacked the smell,sound,heat and eye strain of being there!! Great video😀
Great job on this documentary... being a San Jose native and dealing with kenny puccio over the years I'm glad that he will be able to go down in history as part of a great endeavor thank you....
Greetings from Denmark
🇩🇰🖖🇩 🇰🖖🇩🇰
Fastest I ever road a bike was on my 1972 850 Norton @150 MPH. Then you could hear the valves,starting to float as the Norton never had camshaft centre bearing supports.
Center bearing can't stop valve float and a 850 Norton could not touch 150
Hmmmm..... that's not the only thing starting to float...
What a desirable bike back then. I couldn’t afford one but they were the real macho machine.
@@deltabluesdavidraye he may have meant 120, but I knew a guy who drove one across the prairies in Canada and he said he just gunned it through the boring flat parts, which is a LOT of it out there.
Maybe 120... My 73 was a Combat and cost$1695.
A bunch of gifted dedicated mechanics
If they are going to pair bikes with rocket engines or even electric powered engines and pit it against production bikes it’s not fair . Riding bikes on the road has a feel and gives you a solid thrill and nothing else can give you the same feel.
When a 500 cc Kawasaki "Mach III" , gets you a timing slip of "152mph" @ Elkhart Lake, that was just short of the speed of light for me.LLLOOOLLL
There are "many" classes for bikes (and cars) so production vehicles aren't running for the same records as the modified vehicles.
Classes start with Engine Displacement and Engine Configuration IE 2-stroke, 4-stroke, V Twin, NA, Turbo, Nitrous all have class/rules/records of they're own.
Then it gets into body style, from Naked to Streamline (like this bike). Now lets add different Fuels into the mix = MANY different classes/records...
A friend of mine has set several LSR records on bikes in multiple classes just by doing things like running Naked first (no fairings), then he would bolt just the nose on for another class/record, THEN he add the sides the fairings to set a 3rd record in a 3rd class. Next after that he simply changed Fuels (from pump gas to race gas) and set 2 or 3 more records all at one even...
Always make room for innovation .... don’t let the Trans take over the wimmins sport, similarly run innovative vehicles in their own categories . Maintain Sportsmanship!!! At all Costs !
@@raycarolewallace466 I had one also with the front drum breaks @ 125. !!!
Yes my 2000 Harley Davidson ultra classic does 100-110 no problem. I've been up to 180 on a 750 super sport modified for top end speed. I'm also 66 and the last time I went 110 was November 2022 I had the 750 super sport when I was in the Army in Ft.Hood Texas. I rode fro Corpus Christi to Houston in ONE HOUR AND 25 MINUTES!! YOU CALCULATE MY SPEED!!
Idk man, that 750 barely has more power than I4 250's.
@@chrisbleurgh7425 That guy with the fastest Indian - Bert Munro from New Zealand was the man.!!!
Amazing way to go guys a long road hard work pays off big time!!! Yahoo!👍
Beautiful sound at speed.
Could've done without the damn music.
Yea put a 6 year old tire on to do over 300 smarrrrrt lol after saying no room for error well there some room in a 6 yr old tire
Yes, I thought that was a bit brave.....
Those tires are probably at least 8 ply. My fathers tires I believe were 10 or 12 ply and hard as a rock . They were able to still run them with 1 ply showing. Think they were Firestones.
Laying on my gas tank, I’ve been 100 mph on my Triumph Bonneville. It was flat out and scared me s*itless.
**400 MPH ON 2 WHEELS - THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF PEE COMING OUTTA ME RIGHT NOW!!!**
They change the engine out for a transmission problem because they are 1 intrgal unit.
Swap out those dual Hayabusa engines for a pair of 1441cc ZX-14R engines with that 35lb of boost!
From doubting Rocky, to Rocky driving AND engineering it also... How's that for a happy ending!!!!
exit speed 394............that's a hair away from 400mph and they will do it, mates, they will!
Still wondering why they don't golf-ball dimple the vehicle skin.
That's only really applicable to spherical objects. Otherwise they'd do it to airplanes.
@@chrisbaker2903 Hmm... thought the old Mythbusters did a dimple job on one of their vehicles once, finding it did improve fuel economy via reduced friction with the air. Oh well.
Amazing effort: perseverance, team work, willingness to take risks... the list of things that you have to be to get it all happening is incredible.
Technically you might call this a motorcycle, but it bears very little relation to what a motorcycle actually is, which makes it a little hard to relate to.
Still... hard to imagine going that fast with two screaming Hayabusa motors behind you, giving it everything they have. Suzuki know how to make engines that you can just keep on adding the layers of stuff to, so that they just keep on delivering. So kudos to the people a Hamamatsu, too!
Suzuki have always made real good, often over engineered engines since the first GS in 1977.
Electrical systems though..............
In fact, until around 2007 you could still buy parts to convert the1979¬83, 2 valve or 4 valve Suzuki GS/GSX 1100 motor to a two valve 1750cc or larger to compete with the 'Harley Davidson' full billet 2 .5 liter motors (nothing HD on or in them except the HD sticker)
At least the Suzuki used stock cases and most of the transmission.
Wonderful documentary! Congrats to rocky and the whole crew.
So you need an aerodynamiscist to tell you wind from the side will blow you sideways? Jesus wept.....
lol
Yeah. That was just plain silly.
No, the point to that was that the design amplified any side wind effect so wasn't that silly
Hello??? "A very long straight and FLAT stretch of land." 1:26 The earth is flat! Congratulations Rocky!
So these guys travel 1000 miles to set a new record and do not bring a second set of tires with them? I wonder what other vital spare parts they did not bring with them.
they had spares, but they were identically the same tires as the bad set.
what a great doco , great camera work , glued to tv GO ROCKY!
Has anyone else noticed what the real reason behind Ricky's decision of quitting the team was??
I'll give you a hint - it is tall and fat...
I went 180 on a bike once. I will never do it again. There is just no time to react to anything in front of you. If a car is doing 70 in my lane and I'm doing 180mph it's not going to work out well. All that aside.....I want a Honda ST1300
Check pics and videos from converted film, of course, and notice the spear shaped protrusion on nose of the aircraft. I read about it when i was a kid, I'm 68 now so you can do the math, and what i read was that as the jet powered aircraft approached 300mph they encountered that barrier of wind that was like a wall and required a, for those days, a massive amount of horsepower to overcome. So someone came up with the idea to use the spear lookin things to create it's own intrusion into the wall out in front of the jet's fuselage and the waves opened up a type of hole thru the wall ahead of the jet. You can find graphs and wind tunnel results from back then. Suggested it to John Force to try on his Funny Car and while he laughed but was for trying it since it's the tires that trip the lights, not the body, nobody humored him, or me.
Seems like if it would possibly help anybody it would be salt flat racers. Probl cost less than $500 and what could it hurt. Another crazy idea is to install an ionizing device that thins the air ahead of the vehicle. Probably wudn't help as you're interrupting the air so quickly. In a closed space it will cause the dust to go to the floor.
Know ya'll don't read comments but perhaps someone who knows you might mention the jet fighter fix. If it only made a mile or two mph difference i think that would be cool but if it helped in stabilizing the bike that would be amazing. I'm dyin ftom 5th cancer but wish i could see ya'll try it. If only in a wind tunnel.
rick in Tennessee. Uh, don't have any suggestions to lower "pucker factor" of rider/driver. I'm pretty sure that causes some drag on any bike or vehicle. The machines can feel the tenseness. L8r.
Big Kountry hit 267 on his turbo hyabusa… he was spinning the tire at over 200 mph! Standard fairings no stream line like the world record bikes. Pretty damn fast
IOM for the Win IMO ! BUT ... Just imagine if they'd been able to get Ack ATTACK into high gear ?
That's the way it goes , build it, break it, rebuild it, break it, rebuild it.....
The people twisting wrenches never really get tired of it,
Loved how the producers added Harley sounds, 4 wheel competitors, spectators/ no spectators. But, I liked it!
This is an excellent documentary! Incorporating Rocky into the story makes us hungry for the science needed to travel half the speed of sound on a motorcycle.
Great achievement! I wa actually surprised you went to Utah with just 2 tyres. I thought you would have a pile of them with you.
Yeah, 150mph on a modern sportbike happens all too fast. Done in the right area, it's not particularly dangerous.
please understand that your high speed on your streetbike when your only reference to actual speed is your speedometer is not even close to Accurate.... why? because the speedo becomes more and more innacurate the fater ya go.... just sayin.... not that ya werent haulin the mail so to speak its just that you werent actually goin that fast.....
Rider was a total champion.
In 1964 I broke a speed record, 55 mph on my Norton Jubilee 250, then it blew.
The record breakers make it look easy, but you see it takes so so so much work.. Great job
Craig Breedlove Spirit of America l .was motorcycle and over 400mph I believe
I was there in 07, 08 and 09. Actually saw him wreck in 07 and the salt was definitely inconsistent.
Making it long helps reduce drag, needs a boattail end like a bullet.
Check your frickin video before you post it. Dropouts are a real pain for the viewer.
SAY THANKS TO BERT MONROE FOR GIVING YOU HIS BALLS , ROCKY!
SWAY, BALANCE, SHIFT , SPEED , GONE! SO GO GO GO GO!
They would’ve hit 400 if they had 5 and 6 gear stepping up and sequence as it should

Very fast and impressive. He would be a bit faster, if he would simply shave off the mustache.

It needs to be water tested the best way to test a land vehicle aerodynamics is underwater it should resemble the frontknows of a ship that bulb is thing that's under the front nose of the ship under the bow look at a submarine
