Main features of this [[motorcycle| bike]] included 360 degree [[Crankshaft|cranks]], a single ignition, single [[carburetor]] to cut down maintenance, odd styling, a [[parallel twin]] high [[revving]] [[engine]] and a [[speedometer]] that [[calibrated]] to 100 [[mph]] (160 [[km/h]]). | ||
Claimed Top speed was 80 [[mph]] (128 [[km/h]]) but with a light rider and no [[head wind]] it could go faster (people claim to have done 100 [[mph]] or 160 [[km/h]] which was the maximum calibration on the [[speedometer]]). The [[big end]] had rollers to ensure a smooth ride at high revs. There were several variations of this bike (namely K3, T, T4 etc)from 1967 to 1979. | Claimed Top speed was 80 [[mph]] (128 [[km/h]]) but with a light rider and no [[head wind]] it could go faster (people claim to have done 100 [[mph]] or 160 [[km/h]] which was the maximum calibration on the [[speedometer]]).
