"The World's Fastest Indian"​

1920 Indian Scout Land Speed Record Motorcycle

The actual World’s fastest Indian motorcycle that Burt Munro tinkered with for nearly 50 years…then set speed records at Bonneville, USA.

It was on this November 15, 1965 that Craig Breedlove became the fastest man on earth when he pushed his jet-powered car, the Spirit of America Sonic 1, to the mind-blowing speed of 600mph to set a new land speed record. During the late ’60s, land speed racing was very popular and it was common for records to be broken quite often. Less than two weeks prior, Breedlove had set the record at 555.483mph and just five days later another competitor, Art Arfons, set a new record at 576.553mph with his Green Monster. Breedlove and Arfons had been “one-upping” each other for the record for a full year setting numerous records along the way. But when the Spirit of America hit the 600mph mark it would stand until 1970, which is only 5 years, though previous records had been held for as little as 5 days. Also in 1965 Breedlove’s wife, Lee, got behind the wheel of the Spirit of America Sonic 1 out at Bonneville Salt Flats, a common location for land speed records, and she reached 308mph making her the fastest woman on the planet.
