Hi Just wondering if any one knows what the NZ motorcycle land speed record is. When and where, by who and on what bike?

Thanks for that Nasty, looks like its only for four wheels
Hi I think it was Brian Bernard on Suzuki NewZealands Hayabusa , from memory they only got around 314km cant rember the exact year but around six years ago , in the Sth island some where maybe Christchurch
Dangerous thats impressive. What is the criteria required and how is it timed?
Phil Garrett got the sidecar record.. 264ks.. "On 12 July 2005 on a cold winter's morning in Chertsey, South Canterbury, the Flying Kiwi team broke both the World and New Zealand Land Speed Records for 1000cc sidecars over a flying kilometre"
GET ON
SIT DOWN
SHUT UP
HANG ON
'criteria' thats easy... ya mate gets a migrain and takes a car home, so I ride his busa the next day... ya open tha taps wide and hang on for ya life... timing was done by my arse cheaks squesing the hell out of the seat (pinch marks still noticable on seat) and by watching the speedo go nuts
cheers DD

I think it belongs to John Hepburn.
A quote from Kickaha:
"Around March 2000, John Hepburn of Timaru set a new NZ land speed record of 307.447km in a run in Southland near Edendale on a Hayabusa"
Can anyone confirm?
