Bert Munro, a man who never let the dreams of youth fade, was 68 and riding a 47-year-old modified 1920 Indian Scout, when despite the odds, he achieved the land-speed record for a motorcycle under 1000 cc to make motorcycle history in 1967 … New Zealander Burt Munro rode this highly modified motorcycle on his final speed run at Bonneville Salt Flats, Utah, United States. On this run, Munro set the land speed record of 296 km/h [184 mph] for a motorcycle under 1000 cc, a record that remains unbroken.https://blog.qagoma.qld.gov.au/bert-munros-1920-indian-scout-special-still-the-worlds-fastest-the-motorcycle-design-art-desire-australia/
