" The fastest human-carrying single cylinder machine in the world " That's pretty impressive for a 57 year old machine with homemade parts and knocked together in a shed. The spirit of Burt Munro lives on.

That's amazing for several reasons!  Making 125 HP reliably enough for  land speed racing from less than 700 cc's on a single cylinder - that's a lot of engine development!  And 193 mph on just 125 HP!  That's a lot of aero work.
