World's Fastest Motorcycle Riders

With a 244+, The beautiful Kim should be on the list !

With only a few meets world-wide still to run,
it looks like we MAY have our results posted
for 2016. I will start composing the 2017 list ASAP,
which MAY include the streamliner folks too,
so we know ALL the really fast guys.

Hint: My rider John Levie will be on the list for the first time,
having been timed at the Bonneville World of Speed at
an official 289 mph, into a direct 14mph headwind.

An airspeed of over 300mph

In a motorcycle with sidecar !

Well, 2016 is drawing to a close,
and the season has been very productive.

However, there have been serious injuries,
and an untimely passing.

Nevertheless, folks continue to fight back
the bitter taste of fear, and "go the mile."

Below are some of what I think are the
important speeds for the year,
and the folks that posted them.

We would all appreciate if you - as the
reader - could look over these speeds
and see if they look correct.

Let us know if they are not. You messed up the Rashid run again.

Otherwise, they will be incorporated
in my now-annual update of this
important - and VERY hard to achieve list.

Cheers, Scott

Ralph Hudson runs
266.399 MPH at El Mirage!

13 NOV 2016

VERY nice speed on dirt,
and with only 1000cc.

I believe this is the
fastest motorcycle EVER
at El Mirage for the last 75 years !
 
Could i please be added to this list or the current updated one ?
I have done 255.961 MPH in 1 standing mile on a hayabusa turbo with stock fairing at Elvington UK.
As i run the bike in the UK the Rules state a full exhaust system must be used with no more than 105db and road legal DOT radial tyres are only permitted.

Steve:

Wow, that is a most excellent speed,
(Significantly better than your last 251mph run)
and especially with silenced Exhaust,
and nearly stock bodywork !

You should give us some details about the bike:

What swing arm, how much boost,
engine modifications, which shock,
what RPM, etc.

Anything significant that
you would like to add ?

NICE photo !

I believe that, even under
the new-for-2017 format,
you WILL be on this list !



CONGRATULATIONS !

You are of course wondering WHY there is no mention
of Guy Marten and the new TRIUMPH streamliner.

I traded emails with the Triumph PR department,
and they refused to release ANY official time,
so they are not on the list.

Sorry, no "self-reported" speeds..........
 
is there going to be a non streamliner list like before? I was doing much better on that one lol
ps i should be #22 not 24 and the run was in 2016 not 15.

Watch any DVD on "the isle of man" and you will see speed. Oh it's Guy Martin, last year Michael Dunlop clocked the fastest lap of 135mph. Kiwi Bruce Anstey regularly clocks around 130 mph. In a public road
 
Wow......I couldn't find you either.............


Ransom Holbrook (H&H Racing) 252.222mph 2016
nitrous Busa Loring 1.5 mile.
 
Yes, that is just a mistake in the "wraparound"
that happens between my word processor,
and this site's word processor.

I can't change anything, so everybody
"below 9" just moves up one position.
