his restored
bikes. |

| Bikes similar to this one would have been
used at Aspatria. Ivan sent me this image of his restored
mount from the early 1970s. I much prefer the older upright
engined bikes to the modern laydowns. This bike looks great
with it's potent looking upright single cylinder engine .
Motorcycles in modern times moved away from "big" 500cc Single
cylinder machines still used in our sport. Road going Honda,
Suzukis and Yamahas etc all have multi-cylinder engines which can
rev much more than a speedway bike does. Our bikes have low
revs grunt! which means they can beat the road bikes in a
0-60 test but they then flag and are beaten by the road bikes as
revs become more important at higher speeds |
