For those of you who would know: what kind of power does this guy’s bike have versus the bikes Evel Knievel was using in his heyday? Actually, forget the comparison; what I’m asking is, are these sort of records broken more due to improving technology or the stuntman’s skill?

suspension & brake technolgy are vasting improved from the 80’s to now.

it would be like comparing 1972 Dolphins to the current Patriots team.today’s players are stonger, faster, bigger.
