Speed was officially clocked at an International Speed Meet at Elvington.
Talk to them about the accuracy of their equipment ?
Eyewitness reports say that it was FAST.
A 24 t gearbox sprocket a shade over 7000 rpm would do about that, so it is feasible.
1/4 mile times weren't one offs, bike was often dragged.
Posted a pic here recently of 1974, already ahead of a Onda...
Did you see the photos.
Dave Rawlins is built like a jockey, and gets down to it.
Like all the best MotoGP jockeys these days, 5 ft nothing and 7 stone... (well almost)
Peter Williams was a foot too tall for a really faster racer ?
No disrespect, obviously was good at it, and knew what it was about.
P.S. Speed and event was quoted in the 1973 Norton Brochure, so there has been almost 40 years to disprove this claim....
