At the annual Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials AMA Land Speed Grand Championship, Hiro Koiso – builder and rider – set three new land speed records on a 2006 FXD-I based race bike. The JIMS 135″ TWIN-CAM engine was topped off with billet cylinder heads from T-Man Performance. A C1-R ProCharger was custom fit for assaulting the Salt, the bike boasting 378 hp at the rear wheel.
” We had a rough start on preparing for 2017 racing season since the high speed crash of 2016 which destroyed the majority of equipments and required 4 months of recovery for Koiso. For 2017 the team focused on going after land speed record in the category non-streamlined.”
The new chassis configuration worked flawlessly. and the team managed to set a new record (pending ratification) The team managed to set new pending record (pending ratification) of 216.818mph in 3000 A-PBG class over 177.539mph previous record held by Wink Eller since 2013.

Congratulations to Hiro and the team! Breaking the A-PBG class record by almost 40mph is insane.
More pics please. What an awesome bike.
Hiro and his family & crew are aces in my book.
I admire people like him and others with similar drive.
Their landspeed program is much more than an all too often seen bucket list type of thing,
and or a video opportunity.
Hiro Koiso and his team return every year bringing something new, improved, AND FASTER!
That’s what motorcycle landspeed is all about.
Congratulations to everyone involved. 🙂
Rock on ! And I’ll 2nd the motion ;
More Pictures Please
And here’s hoping against all hope there’s a couple more years left in the Salt for such endeavors
😎
