This article was nominated for deletion on 14 December 2006. The result of the discussion was speedy keep.

[edit] Looks completely wrong

e.g. 47.3 (units? assuming mph) for 50cc seems ridiculous (I went faster on my street scooter) Date format looks inconsistent, e.g. 8/03 with no links to anything. What about Burt Munro?

Munro on the Indian not mentioned? Shame! No units? Well, besides being kept, the list needs serious work--I didn't even look at it, although I was surprised anyone would nominate it for deletion. Still, Munro on the 1920 Indian not mentioned is a more stunning lapse than failure to use units, imo. KP Botany 19:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy keep

Glad to see a speedy keep on this, and not much debate the other way, too. KP Botany 16:31, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Motorcycle land speed records

While I'm far from an expert on this subject, this seems to me to be a very limited list of US national and class records and doesn't appear to include any FIM approved international records (the top record is currently somewhere in the region of 350mph). I'm glad what's on here is on here, but it does need to be qualified and clarified (i.e why are there 23 different 50cc records?)and greatly added to. Mighty Antar 01:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I have to agree. Everything besides the paragraph at the top about the current maximum record makes no sense and has no context. Like for 50cc why are some speeds in the 120s and others in the 30s? They don't even have units.
