There was a lot of engineering expertise in the company back then and not just related to tires. |
Oh yes, I remember the 350, rotary disk valves, about 40bhp standard-but they gave you a cutting chart to alter the valves to produce 60bhp! Wonderful bikes but rare, I always wanted one but couldn't afford it. To put the performance into perspective the top bike power wise at the time was a BSA Rocket 3, 750 triple which produced-you guessed it-60bhp.............
