Fabulous stuff..!!..Miss the old Production Class race..Nearest thing to standard road bikes....Bought my Suzuki T500 mk2 after Crooks Suzuki won again back in 72....Bonnevilles and Norton Commandos and Triumphs fitted with the infamous 750 "zip kit"....struggled to stay with it out on the road..!!!..Still got it ...needs big refurb ..!!!
these were more dangerous... a 350 2 stroke is like a 600 4 stroke at half the weight... Much scarier.... and 500 2 strokes are lighter, but just barely slower than modern 1000cc 4 strokes... these bikes were scary....
@@cookowa3256 That depends on the era. You're really taking about 2-strokes from 20 years after this. Here they are still on a par (or thereabouts) with the MV-Agusta 4-stroke (Agostini and Read still won world championships on 4-stroke MVs up until 1974).

Rather watch these old racers than the new road racers, the bikes sounded so much cooler.

What a shame music blocked out the engine
what would these racers say if they could drive a R1M or something like that in 1972 xD
