I wonder do you know who Mike Jackson is?
Did he meet Elvis ?
Do you know who Louden Wainright is ? (name plucked at random out of the ether).

And as you dont seem to believe the reasons why test bikes were in some cases an awful lot quicker, than bought over the counter road machines, then perhaps you could indicate any evidence to support a stocker getting anywhere near the fictional magazine "performance" figures?
The Norton Villiers 850 factory hack that blitzed the 1/4 mile was a well worked FACTORY bike - it was fast, and the factory said it was fast because of that. And told you how they did it - the heart was that 4S cam. They published its best 1/4 mile time in the 850 brochure.
If the other bikes were so unbelievably fast, how come the factory Norton 850 was generally faster. Doesn't say much for their alcohol ?? breathing monsters, does it ?
Lets not forget the brochure quoted 1/4 mile time may have been the best time that a dozen test riders achieved in a month of Sundays, its not like they waltzed out, did one run of the fastest time ever, and all went home....
P.S. 2 strokes don't like alcohol and high compression, so we can probably rule that out for the H1 and Mach IV to begin with ? Expansion chambers on strokers are a fairly sure sign its not stock either....
