Interesting comment, thanks very much for your valuable input.

It was a rare meeting at Donnington where unsilenced machines were allowed.

I think that just hypnotized me. Must watch a lame Harley video to regain control of my brain.

So cool that they were able to win the 350 class with less than 300cc.

@dancecritic7 You really are judgemental. Its a damn shame so many people are like that.

Somtime as a child at Donnington i saw a 297 go round the track. The date would be around the time of the silver dream machine film being filmed and seeing Mile Hailwood race the XS 1100? triple.

A clip at 250,000 pounds. Beale made 6, I think, a Belgian company into F1 components actually did all the design-work and made them. But they couldn't do a perfect job. "Despite today's technology and analysis techniques there are some metals and surface treatments Honda used we don't understand," said the engineer, dryly. This 40 years after Honda made them, despite it being impossible. I'd prefer Beale to made a batch of the 125 production-twins, so we could have a race-series with them.

I don't think that would pass a track day noise test, I bet they would let it through though.
