    Raced these back in the day, never came across a 500CC version, I still have the 436 engine. Surprised the engine could grow so large. Shame they never productionised one.

    built a few stock singles over the years. From the factory the bevel gears have grind marks to aid gear alignment. A different story if you use unmatched gears.

    That looks like the absolutely logical progression of the singles. Oh that they would come back?

    1958????? Impossible - nice try- 1968 MAYBE, but no 450 widecase motors ever made in 1958 - bit of a typo I hope, but you never know

    I have a 59 200cc I’m saving. Was roched thought was a locker. Turns out motor is fine and solid.. the rest of the bike is missing or toast.. I’ve got a good frame. Motor. Forks. A nice minimal dented tank but not sure what’s paint and what’s buzzard shit.. lol. So I’m going to cafe it. No chopping. Just a cafe seat . I d like to find a correct headlight.
