Guinness World Record

In a remarkable display of endurance and skill, Iván Cervantes, the renowned 5-time Enduro World Champion and Triumph Global Ambassador, has officially secured the prestigious GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for ‘The greatest distance on a motorcycle in 24 hours (individual)’. 

Riding a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer, Cervantes shattered the previous record by an astonishing margin, covering a distance of over 2493 miles (4012 kilometers) within the designated time frame.

The awe-inspiring feat took place on the High-Speed Ring at the Nardò Technical Center in Italy, where Cervantes showcased his exceptional riding prowess and unyielding determination. On April 30, 2023, under the watchful eye of a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator, Cervantes embarked on his mission to surpass the existing record of 2116.39 miles (3406 kilometers).

Pushing his limits and conquering the vast expanse of asphalt, Cervantes masterfully maneuvered his Tiger 1200 GT Explorer for an entire day, surpassing all expectations. Clocking in at a final confirmed distance of 2493.28 miles (4012.53 kilometers), he shattered the previous record by an impressive margin of more than 372.82 miles (600 kilometers). 

To put this achievement into perspective, it is equivalent to traveling from London to the Great Pyramid of Giza or from New York City to Los Angeles as the crow flies, all within a mere 24 hours.

The GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator meticulously monitored the attempt, ensuring adherence to the strict guidelines set forth by the organization. Cervantes’s accomplishment was met with resounding applause from onlookers and enthusiasts who witnessed the historic moment firsthand.

  • The Honda Mean Mower V2 now holds the record for the fastest accelerating sit-in lawn mower.

  • It averaged 6.285s from 0 to 161 km/h.

  • And it can still mow the lawn.

Remember we featured the Honda Mean Mower V2 in July last year? It now holds the Guinness World Record for the fastest accelerating lawn mower.

To recap, Honda UK and Team Dynamics (Honda British Touring Car outfit with factory support) stuffed a Honda CBR1000RR SP engine into a Honda HF2622 sit-in lawn mower. The stock engine, transmission, clutch and ECU went in wholesale, supported by a custom frame. The SP engine produces 189 hp and 115 Nm of torque, and sent to the four wheels by chain.

In order to compete for the Guinness World Record as a lawn mower, it must first appear like a lawn mower and be able to still cut grass.

The team concentrated on achieving the fastest 0 – 100 mph (161 km/h) time instead of outright top speed. The mower needs to complete two runs in opposite directions within the hour. The times for both runs are recorded and averaged for the final result.

Jessica Hawkins was chosen to drive the machine. She’s one of the stunt drivers in the Fast & Furious movie franchise and also competes in go-kart and single-seater races.

Her first run was fast, but the second run was fiercer – 3.08s to 60 mph (96.6 km/h) and 6.12s to 100 mph (161 km/h) – for an average of 6.285s to 161 km/h and into the record books.

That’s faster than some supercars, and it still does your lawn, by the way.

Ben Felten from Australia rode his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and broke the world record for riding a motorcycle blindfolded.

The 50-year-old went completely blind at the age of 37 but that did not stop him and his need for speed.

His record-breaking run was set during the World Speed Trials Australia 2018 where he went at an average of 266.685km/h!

Australian rider Ben Felten has broken the Guinness World Record as well as the one under FIM for riding a motorcycle blindfolded (pending approval) with his stock Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. What’s even more amazing is the fact that Felten is legally blind! (more…)
