I have a 700cc V-4 Magna and they clocked it at 163 mph in 1987. I am sure they will have problem with an air cooled V-4 when all other V-4's are water cooled. DUH! OH WELL they'll learn.

The mp3 on their website sounds just like a normal HD 45 degree twin, or am I missing something? I expected a different exhaust note altogether if the cranks were 180 or 360 degrees apart. 360 would be the most logical. If it is firing pairs together then did they not take the easy path?

Bonneville is a huge catch all for motor sports enthusiasts. The great thing about it is how they find a way to make it accessible to so many. Downside for the outside observer is confusion .... I think it would make a great series of posts to try to sort it out. I think I'll do some reading on it myself. Cheers! I agree …. Bonneville is a huge catch all for motor sports enthusiasts.

There are records for everything. It's not that they are not noteworthy, but sometimes it seems like the Guinness Book of World Records. One of these days I'm going to have to sit down and sort the whole thing out. The thing about Bonneville that confuses me is the sheer number of classes and it seems there are more all of the time.

Aside from the engine, somehow ....... this just doesn't seem that noteworthy. I know that Harley based or powered bikes have a long and impressive history at Bonneville.
