One (1) listing PER PERSON.
Unless otherwise listed,
their single fastest speed
In the standing start mile.

Bonneville is flying start mile.

Some are ¼ mile standing start.


Above are the names of the riders (and sponsors)
that arethe fastest “sit-on” riders
in the world – no streamliners.

Track lengths include: ¼ mile, ½ mile, 1 mile ,
1.3 mile, 1.5 mile,distance not recorded and
Bonneville style unlimited distance.

Racing surfaces include: asphalt,
concrete, dirt and salt.

**(The Finnish speeds were run on a track
with a maximum racing length of
about 1.0 mile, but some racers used
less that that length to achieve their results.)

It is apparent from the track listings and dates that
motorcycle LSR (Land Speed
Racing) is now a true international sport.

When will we see Japan, China, Brazil
and the return of Russia ?



Thanks to PiPPi of Sweden for the Drag information.

Thanks to Speedduck for the Finnish results.

** Conditional results, see below

Mr. Duck lists the results), and gives us the link.
(It is not clear to me if these results are based
on a timing trap, radar, GPS, data or other method,
but we will keep them on the list until
there is a complete clarification)

All speeds listed are OFFICIAL speeds.
No GPS from “individuals,”

Not all timing organizations use the same
speed measuring equipment.

If you have additions or corrections,
please FIRST PM me, or post.

OBSERVATIONS FOR THE 2014 SEASON:

Three (3) new members on the list,
and ALL going over the
prestigious 250 mph mark in 2014.

Ride safe and be lucky and fast in 2015 !

Speedduck reports from Finland:

1. Jorma Karjalainen (2jorma2), Kawasaki ZZR1400 ANY10 Turbo, Joensuu 2012, PerformanceBox, 408.54kmh (253.909mph)
2. Jari Määttä (jarim), Hayabusa Gen1 1570cc NOS, Halli 2011, PerformanceBox, 390.14kmh (242.473mph)3. Teemu Tenhula (tenhulttio), Hayabusa Gen1 1570cc NOS, Halli 2011, PerformanceBox, 388.37kmh (241.373mph)
iB::Aihe::Suomen "virallinen" +200mph lista

There is some question about whether the Fininsh results
are On-board data, GPS or time traps.

A parallel question is whether this is from a "sanctioned event"

It certainly seems to be an "organaized event,"
and not an "individual attempt."

Above are the names of the riders (and sponsors) that are the fastest
“sit-onâ€￾ riders in the world – no streamliners. Includes ¼ mile, ½ mile,
1 mile , 1.3 mile, 1.5 mile and Bonneville

**(The Finnish speed were run on a track with a maximum racing length of
about mile, but some racers used less that that length to achieve their results.)

It is apparent from the track listings and dates that motorcycle LSR (Land Speed
Racing) is now a true international sport. When will we see Japan, China,
Brasil and the return of Russia ?


Thanks to PiPPi of Sweden for the Drag information.

Quickest and fastest bike list update - Page 91

Thanks to Speedduck for the Finnish results.

** Conditional results, see below

iB::Aihe::Suomen "virallinen" +200mph lista

Mr. Duck lists the results of the last two weeks (July 2012), and gives us the link.
(It is not clear to me if these results are based on a timing trap, radar, GPS, data
or other method, but we will keep them on the list until there is a complete clarification)

All speeds listed are OFFICIAL speeds. No GPS from “individuals,â€￾

Not all timing organizations use the same speed measuring equipment.

If you have additions or corrections, please FIRST PM me, or post.

Thank you Robert.

This is such a GREAT web site that I
thought that I would post the updated
"list" directly.

I do appreciate your asking to re-post
copyrighted information here.

Scott


:rofl: I was actually wondering if it was you. Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:
 
Welcome Scott,

If I could make one quick edit for Billy Shoemaker. His 269 at Mojave in 2011 was done in just 1.0 mile, not 1.5 miles. An even more amazing feat!

Dave:

Truely amazing - especially for a man his age.

Editing is cumbersome here, but we will get-er-done.

Thanks for the info.
 
Hi,

Scott, thanks for publishing this list and also including us Finnish riders to it.

If it's not too much to ask, please add "TFM" as sponsor to Antti Pietilä's, Jari Määttä's and Teemu Tenhula's results. And if it's somehow possible, nice thing would also be to seen that we are driving a NOS bike rather than turbo. :)

On behalf of TeamForceMajor landspeed team,

Jari Määttä
