Burt's bike was under 1000cc, 950cc to be precise and his record stands even today in 2023. His bike was already 47 years old in 1967, a 1920 bike with an original top speed of 89km/h or 55mph. He made all the parts and cast them himself due to poverty. Still multi-billion dollar Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Honda, KTM etc could not beat his 1967 record.

[@colb9916]

A determination that no amount of money can defeat. 1 old bloke in a shed out performs even the biggest and best. Inspiration for us all in this ole mates story. Dont believe anyone when they say you cant do it, you're too old, you dont have the money. We are Never beaten until we stop trying. Your record may fall, but none will stand higher on that platform of worthy achievement. Rest easy ole mate. Legend forever.

@@colb9916 You are absolutely right. Fly ahead. If you can't fly, run. If you can't run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. But never stop pushing ahead no matter what.

[@bigpatty823]

Should be noted that other sub 1000cc bikes broke his record even as soon as 1970. It's just his bike was in a very specific class (streamlined, modified fuel). There are completely unmodified (aerodynamically) bikes going much faster while still under 1000cc, and non modified fuel streamliners going faster. Anybody building a modified fuel streamliner would be >1000cc going for the ultimate speed record

[@rockerviktor]

What the hell are you talking about...? 1000 cc street bikes can easily reach 300 km/h for decades, and that is only because they are limited at that speed. Moto GP bikes can reach 350 km/h.

[@M_03256]

All the years the legendary Burt Munro was at Bonneville, from 1956-1975. 1956- Burt's 1st time at Bonneville, (spectator) 1957 - Burt's 2nd time at Bonneville,(spectator) 1959- Burt's 3rd time at Bonneville, ( still as a spectator). Also in 1959 Burt first met the young Mickey Thompson, Mickey and Burt instantly warmed up to each other and became good friends. Burt then decided to debut with his Indian in either 1961 or 1962, it ended up being speed week of 1962. 1962- Burt's debut year - his Indian was 853cc, twin cam ( tail was 3 finned), S-A 883cc record at 178.971 mph (average). Burt's best measured mile was well over 180 mph. Burt also turned in speeds at over 171 mph, 175 mph and 179 mph, though for those 3 runs he wasn't going all out with his Indian. But Burt did eventually go full bore with his Indian for the first time ever at the salt that year. He was also named Sportsman of the year, and in total Burt did 53 miles on the salt in just 1962 alone. 1963- Burt made some big upgrades to his bike before Bonneville 1963, like converting his Indian to a 4 cam instead of the old 2 cam configuration from 1962. He also lowered the nose of the fiberglass streamIiner body for down force. Burt's Indian now has a large single mono- tail fin instead of the triple fin from the previous year. His qualifying went well at 183.673 mph. After the qualifying run Burt was jittery with excitement since in his own words the engine was going like a bomb and the stability issues were a thing of the past. He knew he would be breaking 200 mph really soon. Burt's outward run was going very well at first as he was clearly exceeding his previous best speed. The salt was whizzing by so fast under the nose of his bike that it wasn't even blurred anymore, it was featureless. Burt compares the salt at speed to an ironed tablecloth because the salt is just moving so fast that features cannot be seen. At that point he was doing over 190 mph, exhilarating at the fact that in any moment he was about to shatter the 200 mph mark which he had been working towards when unfortunately disaster struck. The front connecting rod broke blowing the v-twin to pieces and ending his S-A 883cc record attempts for 1963. Burt got his Indian stopped in 1.5 miles with a total 3.5 miles of track used up as she blew up only 2 miles into the run. Burt was disappointed but just for the moment, when the timekeepers said he had averaged 184 mph in the mile and was doing a 195 mph plus at the end, Burt was pleased as 184 mph and 195 mph is faster than he had ever gone before. Many years later in an interview in 1974 Burt talked about how the AMA said he recorded 195.5 mph on his 1963 blowup run. The Indian was still at 853cc. 1964- Burt enlarged the Indian to over 870cc. The Bonneville track was rough and terrible in 1964,doing a mere 40-50 mph Burt was taking a serious beating. He had to go low gear for a while then he put her in 2nd for another mile slowly winding the throttle up, she started weaving as well so Burt kept sitting up to stabilize the bike while the Indian was getting faster and faster and faster. Burt still managed to coax enough control to qualify at 184 mph but bad weather the next day ended his chance of running for the record. Speed week 1964 was a total wash out, only 4 days of running before bad weather ended speed week for good. 1965- a zero year for Burt, he had some low speed runs in the 160 mph range. At the end of 1965 Burt decided to run in the 61 inch class, 1000cc, instead of the 55 inch class, 901cc. Burt said himself he probably only qualified once in 1965. 1966- S-A 1000cc record at 168.66 mph(average), qualifying at 172 mph, ( non full bore), unofficial top speed at 212 mph, Burt's Indian was at just over 901cc. Burt was not happy with such a slow average, considering he was doing way above a disappointing 168 mph on his runs when the Indian was at the speed wobbles. Still he had to take it as it was another record. 1967- Burt arrived in America in late June of 1967. He went to his friend Sam Pierce’s shop in San Gabriel California to work on the Indian. Burt lengthened the Indian’s tail fin and cut a nearly 10 inch diameter hole into the nose cone which directed air into the body through a 10 kilogram lead tunnel casted from the old weight he had attached to the front of the frame. He also created outlets towards the rear of the shell hoping the modifications would reduce the pressure wave coming off the front which he thought had prevented the tail from stabilizing the machine. Burt also hoped the extra weight would help his bike run true like an arrow. Burt also enlarged the v-twins displacement to 953cc. S-A 1000cc record at 184.087 mph(average), best measured mile at 188 mph, qualifying at 184/190.070 mph, he upped his old record by nearly 16 mph, earning himself top record breaker of 1967 and American motorcyclist of the year. He was still a little disappointed though. Burt knew the Indian had enough power to push it past 200 mph like it had done the year prior in 1966 but one of the problems was the salt which was unfortunately wet and heavy. He estimated on every run that there was about 110 pounds of salt caked on the bike which was enough to slow the Indian down to well below it's potential top speed. 1968- Burt had carburetor issues, the Indian kept insisting on running rich even with the main jet nearly closed she still wouldn't run right. Like Burt said himself he could only coax a lousy 155 mph from his machine. It was still a very interesting year though because Burt's good friend Mickey Thompson was on the salt post speed week 1968 with his 1200 horsepower 1969 Ford Mustang. Also Mickey gave Burt a ride at 11 pm one night in the Mustang. The speed was building up pretty quickly with Burt in the passenger seat when she started fishtailing at over 140 mph but Mickey pulled her back. After the little run Burt never got in a car with Mickey ever again but he was happy to watch his friend run though. After Burt got the Indian to where it seemed to be running like it's old self he decided to test his bike on the highway in Nevada that ran through Reno which had no speed limit at the time, he got pulled over after passing a cop at well over 100 mph. When the cop asked Burt on how fast he was going Burt replied with he was doing a lousy 160 miles an hour at best. Burt also told the officer that he had already run at over 200 miles an hour and doing 160 is like a stroll in the bloody park. After that Burt gave up for 1968 because the Indian was not running good and it was pointless to run it any further on the salt. 1969-For this speed week Burt was more prepared than any other year prior, he ran a qualifying run at 191 mph and his first run again at 191 mph but on his return run the Indian started blubbering and surging again like it did the year prior in 1968, Burt kept adjusting the fuel mixture, doing 14 runs on the salt in 4 days, but unfortunately to no avail. Burt figured out it was a bad magneto in the Indian that was causing all the running issues. In 1970 Burt decided to run a different fuel, so he switched from his traditional methanol which he always ran the Indian off of to nitromethane. Even with all the adjustments he made to run his Indian on nitro, the v-twin still burned out all his spare pistons. It was now unfortunately over for Burt who was 71 years old. 1971- Burt's 13th year at Bonneville and 10th year running his Indian, which was his last. Ran a very lousy run at 148.51 mph without the shell due to strict rules, without the shell the Indian was now seriously over geared, he did another run with the shell on going full bore for the last time ever. Burt never ran his bike there again. New Zealand film director Roger Donaldson and his crew were also on the salt in 1971, they filmed Burt doing some runs on his Indian for the documentary about him called Offerings to the God of Speed, (1971). It's a phenomenal documentary that i highly recommend people to watch. 1975 - Burt's 14th and final year at Bonneville, (Spectator). Though Burt did have the Indian with him, he never ran it. The AMA also said Burt could no longer officially run at Bonneville anymore. After Bonneville 1975 Burt said his goodbyes to all his good friends before permanently sailing back to New Zealand. Today Burt's actual 1920 Indian Scout is in two different countries. The original but highly modified 1920 chassis plus the final version of the Indians fiberglass shell, used from 1967-1971 at Bonneville are in America, (restored) and owned by the Pierce family, the v-twin they have is a different one, not the original/ record setting one. In New Zealand, E Haynes and Son hardware has the original and built 1920 record setting v-twin which Burt modified all his life, that sits in Burt's 1924 Indian chassis( the frame which was never used in America, only in New Zealand). And they also have Burt's other bike he worked on as well, the 1936 single cylinder Velocette mss 650. In January of 1978 Burt passed away peacefully at home, age 78. 200 people came to his funeral. Losing Burt was a massive loss to New Zealand even in America as well. Indian motorcycles themselves were really saddened by the news of Burt's passing but they were also really proud of him.

[@vickil3256]

Come back every so often to watch this again. I love this movie almost as most as I love Anthony Hopkins.❤❤

[@M_03256]

This movie is really fantastic Anthony Hopkins did a phenomenal job portraying Burt but it doesn't even scratch the surface about the legend you have to read the books in order to fully understand how legendary Burt is, Burt never had a 200 mph average because of unfortunate circumstances at the times but he did clock a run at well over 200 mph, in 1966 he ran at 212, also at Bonneville in 1963 the Indian threw the front connecting rod at 195.5 mph. The fastest official speed Burt ever ran was 191.34 mph at Bonneville, 1969, at Bonneville 1967 Burts best speed was his 2nd qualifying at 190.07 mph. So in total Burt did 4 runs at over 190 mph and at least 1 run at over 200 mph at Bonneville over the 10 years he ran the Indian there. LEGEND, I wish I could have met him, Burt was the ultimate mechanical genius, spending nearly his entire life highly modifying his stock scout which he bought brand new when he was 21, the legend set 3 speed records at Bonneville 62,66,67 not to mention more back In new Zealand before hand, his skills, passion and utter determination will never be matched, Burt's a once in a eternity type of person, brand new machine bad a top speed of 50-55 mph by the time he was done running at Bonneville he turned his 1920 indian indian scout into a speed demon clocking 212 miles a hour on a run in 1966 truly the god of speed, rest in peace legend I know your up in heaven going really fast.

The fastest speed Burt would ever run with his homebuilt, highly self- modified 1920 Indian Scout streamliner was 205.67 mph to 212 mph. On a run at Bonneville in 1966, Burt was clocking over 200 mph by the time he hit the quarter mile timing area which is 2 and 1/4 miles in from the starting line. The chief time keeper at the time Otto Crocker said he saw Burt sit up in the quarter mile and he was doing well over 200 mph, Otto also went on the P-A system and told everyone that as well, unfortunately Otto never wrote down the actual speed Burt recorded as it couldn't be counted because Burt had done it in the quarter mile which is only used for qualifying and Burt was on his first record run attempt. Records at Bonneville are averaged between 2 runs, that doesn't include qualifying. You do a qualifying run and if you are fast enough you do your north run next in which your best mile out of the 3 timed miles, either mile 2, 3 or 4 is then averaged with the same mile on your south run. If your average is high enough then you set a new record as it exceeds the current speed in that given class. The timing setup and how records are counted, official at Bonneville is complicated but my explanation is basically how it works there. Anyways official or unofficial, it doesn't matter because Burt was definitely doing well over 200 mph, some said Burt did 212 mph. So Burt's unofficial top speed for his Indian was 212 mph,(1966). But the Pierce family who owns Burt's original, heavily modified and record shattering 1920 Indian chassis, plus his last version of his Indians Streamliner shell, and Indian motorcycles themselves, say a year later in 1967, that Burt had done an unofficial top speed at 205.67 mph which they also claim was the fastest speed Burt had ever done. So the fastest speed Burt ran on his Indian was at least 205.67 mph, even though he was highly likely going even faster than that, at 212 mph plus as said in 1966. Burt also had two runs at 191 mph at Bonneville in 1969, and his fastest measured mile in 1967 was 188, his best qualifying run in 1967 was 190.070 mph, In 1963 on his first run after qualifying Burt's Indian threw a connecting rod at 195 mph plus, the AMA said Burt was doing 195.5 mph when it happened. Burt also has the fastest ever recorded speeds from an Indian motorcycle, even to this day. So again the fastest speeds but ran with his 1920 Indian, was 191.34 mph, 190.070 mph, 195.5 mph, 188 mph, 205.67 mph to 212 mph.

In the end we all want to be able to say ‘I did it’.

[@Macohistic666]

The one of the greatest movie in history. Burt is the Legend.

Really good film, the bike sounded sweet too.

[@markx1138]

Hermosa película siempre me hace emocionar 😢!!!

[@Footrotflats251]

I’ve got a bike that’s kinda like Burt’s Indian, I hit 100mph the other day, now with a few more mods I might be able to push 120mph without melting a piston, need a low temp fuel other than regular or avgas, can’t afford to use methanol or unleaded will probably be the go, smaller sprocket,

[@YosefSkato]

Great film! I just wished more people would've welcomed him home, including all the bikers.

[@Flipplt]

Bert was happy and people around him felt happy in his presence

That’s New Zealand for you

[@kelliebrooks9094]

See Rolli Free laid down on his vincent and went 151 mph an set his record in his shorts trying to stream line an break 150...burt passed the first mile 158.9 beat Rolly free first mile is why hes loving it even bought him a room to stay in.....very cool

[@AMindInOverdrive]

I think it's kinda funny in these movies where the guys worried about his safety are made out to be the wrong/bad guys...or stuffy. Safety is VERY important, especially at such high speeds. Lack of respect for safety is why that Titan submersible imploded... just sayin' And, no, I have no link to being a safety officer or anything related

[@kevindarkstar]

If this world had more Burt Monroe's it surely would be a better place 😊

[@tylerdurden1923]

The people that say something can't be done are always standing in the way of the ones that are making it happen .

[@joemichala2841]

Burt Monroe never kissed no black man in drag. Australian director --- Fairywood strikes again. Fun movie ! I own the DVD.
