The World's Fastest Indian Best Scene

Munro travelled to Bonneville ten times, the first time for "sightseeing" purposes. In the nine times he raced at Bonneville, Munro set three world records: in 1962, in 1966 and in 1967. He also once qualified at over 200 mph (320 km/h), but that was an unofficial run and was not counted.

In 1962, he set an 883 cc class record of 288 km/h (178.95 mph) with his engine bored out to 850 cc.
In 1966, he set a 1000 cc class record of 270.476 km/h (168.07 mph) with his engine at 920 cc.
In 1967, his engine was bored out to 950 cc and he set an under 1000 cc class record of 295.453 km/h (183.59 mph). To qualify he made a one-way run of 305.89 km/h (190.07 mph), the fastest-ever officially recorded speed on an Indian. The unofficial speed record (officially timed) is 331 km/h (205.67 mph) for a flying mile.
In 2006, he was inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.
In 2014, 36 years after his death, he was posthumously awarded a 1967 record of 296.2593 km/h (184.087 mph) after his son John noticed a calculation error by AMA at that time.

As a Kiwi, this movie hits different, especially knowing at the time Burt did this New Zealands population was less than 3 million

"When you grabbed top gear and left us in the dust"
"No, no. That was second, the carb was fouling, so I had to give it a bit to clear it out"

[RickStewart]

This is one of the best scenes in any movie ever. Top 10 in my opinion.

Didn’t even hit top gear yet! You sure showed ‘em Burt!! 💪

As a speed and motorcycle fanatic, witnessing the scene at 1:14 of a man with immeasurable passion and sheer will disappearing into the distance reminds me just how important it is to give it everything you have in life. Not to mention, to never pay attention to anyone that tries to slate or discredit your love for something. Incredible movie and Burt Munroe will forever live on.
P.S, Anthony Hopkins absolutely nailed his whole aura!

When he opened it up, as a speed runner myself (on water) it gave me goosebumps!

[xxhabu]

Agreed. Best scene from one of my favorite movies. The guy is a legend.

[ghostrider]

Tears in my eyes, this is what i call heaven !

[MKrukas]

And he couldn't even get it out of 2nd gear 😂😂😂

[andrewhazlewood]

I prefer the scene where the young bikie gives him the money he lost in the bet and then some.

[daviddews]
