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

    One (1) listing PER PERSON.
    Unless otherwise listed,
    their single fastest speed
    (Lifetime)

    Bonneville is flying start

    Some are ¼ mile standing start.

    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.

    Quickest and fastest bike list update - Page 91, etc

    Quickest and fastest bike list update - Page 98

    Thanks to Speedduck for the Finnish results.

    ** Conditional results, see below

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

    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,â€

    Not all timing organizations use the same
    speed measuring equipment.

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


    Ride safe, be lucky and fast in 2017 !

Will there be a world record list for the 1 standing start mile ? (Non streamliner)

As here in the UK we will never be given the chance to run 1.5 mile or 2 mile, due to noise restriction on the event.

Many thanks Steve
