True, but I had a replica JPN in the late 1980's with a Norvil 920 conversion, you know the one with a Ford piston and the little ends bored out for the new diameter gudgeon pin, (and before I knew any better ) and on a long flat straight that was about 2 miles long, got the speedo to read a needles width above 120 mph. That is still the fastest that I've ever been on a Norton Commando assuming all other Norton speedo readings being equal."The older you get, the faster they seem."
Also I once travelled on my JPN from the Lake District to Beverley in East Yorkshire, and it gave me terrible tinnitus. They didn't mention that in the marketing blurb. (Pre ear plug usage).
