But such a nice bike they should be in. What they have in the engine department they must offset by the frame, brakes etc. to make them equal on the grid.
Makes for a good read, found these sites a while back after discussing the DD bikes with Tony Brancatto and him telling me a few things about the racing Pantahs

I agree completely! If Tony Rutter turned up on a Pantah, he'd clean up obviously, but the average Joe on skinny 18" cross-plies would be at a real disadvantage I'd have thought.
The original rules were written to specifically exclude pantah based bikes-possibly because I mentioned TT2's when we were formulating them............must remember to keep my gob shut in future............
