The main fun I have with motorcycles is about improving my bike, then racing it to prove it is better. In Australia, the only development race classes are historic, so there are rules which inhibit development. A few years ago we has Sounds of Singles and BOTT race classes, which had almost no rules. They became defunct through idiocy.
Looking at the posts about Commando cylinder heads, most of the comments were about commercial viability and the limited market. That applies to almost anything which is made for old bikes.
I have never understood why the Indians increased the size of their Royal Enfields to about 530cc. As 500s they could almost have been raced in a senior Sounds of Singles race against Molnar Manxes and Walmsley G50s.
Perhaps we need a major rethink about the types of racing which is catered for ? More development classes could be good for all of us.
