Wait until you see a properly quick one with a good rider on it......yep ive seen more go in an alca seltzer than a bantyhaving said that i never blew mine up and it permanently went flat out everywhere
As I said, only the last ones shifted. All the others were strangled. The D14 had two piston rings, rather than three, which meant it could rev, and the ports were much bigger. My D14 had the same sized downpipe as a competition Villiers 250. Getting on a D10 after riding mine was awful. Just where the power should be kicking in they made strangled noises and stopped doing anything.yep ive seen more go in an alca seltzer than a banty
My D1 makes some noises throughout the (fairly limited) rev range. I sometimes wonder if useful power output was more of a byproduct than the main aim of the engine designers.
It's almost as if they did it on purpose as a prank!
In days of old, and men were bold, & Bantams were 125’s, my brother heard an old dear as a Bantam went past “I hate these modern high powered motorcycles”
