The works bikes ran Mag 38's whilst the proddie stuff had the same in 34. We bored 34s to 35.2 or so IIRC and Alloy 38's a lot of the time as well as conically bored cylinders, lightened cranks and every other thing you could think of. Oddly though, some just were bloody fast out of the box without being touched!
Hi Stu
I stand corrected 34’s not 36’s must have been Jeff mechanic taking the piss... due to every time we met up after they did the gp’s always got the latest goss on what people were trying, they must have been on the ferry back to the uk and trying to think a way of taken the piss with some joke carb’s!!

And a very good evening to all
Just a thought How many of you would like to see a return of the old setup of Gps ie:- 80 cc 125cc 250cc 350cc and 500cc to get a decent weekend of racing for the poor old paying public
Just a thought
How many of you would like to see a return of the old setup of Gps ie:- 80 cc 125cc 250cc 350cc and 500cc to get a decent weekend of racing for the poor old paying public I agree - the 80cc class passed past me totally though we did have some races at Silverstone (Ian Mc won them, I think) but the 250 and 350cc classes were often fantastic - except for when Kork Ballington or Anton Mang were running away. Snett and I used to go early Saturday morning to watch the final practices before sunday. A terrific scrum for grid positions and a full day's riding - there were sometimes racing too.
I guess part of the current set up requires a lot of time to psyche yourself up in the pits AND for the cameras to be seeing you do it, and not spend time recording racing.
Funny there was always something contraversial or different about the British GP (and that often applies to the cars too) whether it's a crash (Croz taking Sheene off - Barry crashing on a test day) or wet weather - Steve Man ships win on intermediate tyres, this years moto GP.

Suzuki XR70 RG500, square 4, with reed valve and the factory chassis. Dave Petersen on board, and it's actually his bike from 1986. Picture taken at Turn 1, Zwartkop Raceway, South Africa, Sunday 30th January 2010, again I took the picture and I was also looking after Dave. Hadn't seen him in 24 years so good to catch up with him again.

Great two points LC, Sheene panicked at Copse grabbed to much front brake & was off,( I have watched the video so many times to see what happened) & yes Steve Manship did win GP, but the ACU could not have an unknown win the 500GP so a bemused Kenny was awarded it.

1985 Suzuki GSX-R 750, built by, amongst others, me, for Granty to ride in and win the Superstock series that year. Won the first four races of the series. Pretty stock really but pretty fast.
