I know some people in Triumph. Saw this bike a while ago. They are trying to tame down the 200 NM of torque. Its going to be a beast. Triumph are really coming  good .

The odd instance of Brits copying Americans - big and lovely bikes.

That new Rocket looks awesome, bet it will be popular in the US where bigger=best. Will be expensive on rear tire consumption, new tire every month, 555.

 

If I get a Triumph; I stick to a Street Twin that likely looks like a toy bike next to a Rocket, ha-ha.

 

I also don't get the point with those show-bikes that is more or less un-rideable, transported in a van from show to show.

Czech out the FGR 2500 w/240bhp. This one is balanced, so even easier to pop up. Hi Ho Silver!

 

Nothing like it in the States, I must admit.

Yes.

The early bikes and pretty much most speedway bikes into the early 60's ran JAP motors. But by the 70's the East Europeans had taken over with CZ and mainly Jawa engines.

Can't say for sure but the above are possibly Jawa engines.

Speed track racing, drift racing, velodrome . . . I just don't get it. Speed skating, sure, someone could lose a hand, so it's exciting. But sliding around a dirt track?

 

This is a proper dirt race. Graham Jarvis is the MAN.

Yep 15hp @ 10,500 rpm. Not bad for an oldie. 

 

This is the lust-fullness of youth. There was a guy in our village who had one when i was a teenager. Most of the other bikes were Ariels or Bantams.

Without surfing the modern almost horizontal one are Italian, i think.

The speedway engines above are GM ( Giuseppe Marzotto ).  JAWA is the other player.  They look similar.
