The World’s Fastest Indian Best Scene

Wikipedia () : Munro travelled to Bonneville ten times, the first time for “sightseeing“ purposes. In the nine times he raced at Bonneville, Munro set three world records: in 1962, in 1966 and in 1967. He also once qualified at over 200 mph (320 km/h), but that was an unofficial run and was not counted. In 1962, he set an 883 cc class record of 288 km/h ( mph) with his engine bored out to 850 cc. In 1966, he set a 1000 cc class record of km/h ( mph) with his engine at 920 cc. In 1967, his engine was bored out to 950 cc and he set an under 1000 cc class record of km/h ( mph). To qualify he made a one-way run of km/h ( mph), the fastest-ever officially recorded speed on an Indian. The unofficial speed record (officially timed) is 331 km/h ( mph) for a flying mile. In 2006, he was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame. In 2014, 36 years after his death, he was posthumously awarded a 1967 record of km/h ( mph) after his son John noticed a calculation error by AMA at that time.
