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.

(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.

Ride safe, be lucky and fast in 2017 !
