Vintage Motorcycles

There ain't no stinkin' ABS on this lot!
For example, a bicycle with a 442cc motor up high between the
riders knees and a belt-drive arrangement from that position down
to the back wheel. Noice!
|
Gotta love the wooden bars 'n rims... Hate to think what state those cork
grips would be in after a few days of gloveless use though.

442cc seems pretty serious for such a setup, thinking of booting over 500cc
bikes.
|
Guessing compression is maybe 5 or 6 to 1 ?
|
And maybe 5 hp. When I did a rebuild on my 1957 500cc BSA, I replaced the
old 6.5:1 pistons with the "high compression" 7.25:1 jobbies. Woohoo!
