Summary
Description1920 Indian Scout Land Speed Record Motorcycle (14605496828).jpg |
This is not a replica from the movie, the Worlds Fastest Indian, this is the actual bike that Burt Munro built and broke that Land Speed Record for motorcycles under 1000cc. Back in the 50s, a New Zealand man named Burt Munro wanted to see how fast he could go on a motorcycle. He started off with a 1920 Indian Scout and in his Invercargill shed, way down in the South of New Zealand, highly modified the motorcycle, the 600cc engine ended up nearly 1000cc and ran on methanol. He held many New Zealand speed records, eventually taking it to the Bonneville Salt Flats in the US and broke the land speed record for motorcycles with engines under 1000cc 20 August 1962: 883 cc class record of 178.971 mph. 22 August 1966: 1,000 cc class record of 168.066 mph. 26 August 1967: 1,000 cc class record of 183.586 mph. His basic story was used in the 2005 movie the Worlds Fastest Indian starring Anthony Hopkins as Burt Munro. Behind this bike, in the same showcase is his earlier record breaking bike, his 1936 Velocette 500cc, now 650cc, 12.2 second qtr mile at 138.8 mph, probably the worlds fastest Velocette!
