Another nice one, I suspect on modern machinery they would still be the class of the field.
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

Thanks Guys  :thumbsup

It'd be interesting....I suspect the cream would always rise to the top. The likes of Michael Dunlop would still wrestle a bike round any track quickly. But I wonder how the riders from the 20's would find modern machinery. When I read accounts and saw pictures of them riding it blew my mind, the tyres even the state of the roads was woeful!

Next article is on the 30's, titled: "The End of the Chivalrous Era?".
