Bonneville Salt Flats World 600cc Motorcycle Record

For his first time ever riding on the Bonneville Salt Flats, Shunji Yokokawa realised his childhood dream and broke the World Land Speed Record on a 600cc motorcycle. The official speed that Yokokawa hit was a staggering 170.828 mph on his stock Honda CBR600RR. Although when you watch him in this film, his pace looks almost pedestrian given there are no reference points.

With Cross winds of up 19 mph at times the accomplishment seems even more impressive and with just a two man crew traveling all the way with Yokokawa from his native Japan, it sure was one mean feat and a well deserved record!
