The World's Fastest Indian is a 2005 New Zealand biographical sports drama film based on the Invercargill, New Zealand, speed bike racer Burt Munro and his highly modified 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle. Munro set numerous land speed records for motorcycles with engines less than 1,000 cc at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah in the late 1950s and into the 1960s. He is most famous for his under-1000cc world record (an average speed of 183.586mph - 295.45km), set at the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. The record still stands today.

I own this movie and it is great.
It’s the kind of thing that needs to be shown to the young men.

Burt Munro’s World’s Fastest Indian Land Speed Record
(Special thanks to Burt Munro’s son, John Munro for his assistance with material for this article. Images are from the Munro family collection.)
In 1967, Burt Munro made his seventh trip to the Bonneville Salt Flats. The record he set at that 1967 event was not the first land speed record he established at Bonneville; in 1962 he had set a record in what was called the 55 cubic-inch class at the time. Munro set a 55 cubic-inch record of 178.971 mph, as well as a new record in the SA 1000 class in 1966 at 168.066 mph.
Munro ratcheted the SA 1000 class record up to 184.087 mph in 1967—a record that has stood the test of time and still stands in what is now the S-AF 1000cc class. All the records were set with his hand-built 1920 Indian Scout based streamliner.
