" It was Shunji Yokokawa&amp;#039;s childhood dream to ride on the Bonneville Salt Flats. At Speed Week 2013 in August, he got the chance to do just that. He set out to break the land speed record for a stock, 600cc motorcycle, and was successful in his quest. Although the video below doesn&amp;#039;t show the final result, Yokokawa set an official speed of 170.828 mph aboard his Honda CBR600RR. Battling traction and the elements, with crosswinds of up to 19 mph at times, his feat was all the more impressive. Produced by Vita Brevis Films, this short video adds some great insight and beautiful imagery to Yokokawa&amp;#039;s story. The Assistant Chief Engineer at Honda Japan, Yokokawa brought a mere two-man team to assist him. By the time the company got the chance to shoot the video, Yokokawa had already broken the record, but the video is worth a watch for the film quality alone.
