gosh, even honda never went that far. Suzuki was developing a triple when they changed the rules to only allow singles.

100bhp per liter is a bit slugish for a race bike of that period, a good Honda C110 Sports Cub would give it a run for its money. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D  A year later if I remember right, Walter Kaaden got 200bhp per liter from the little MZ two stroke. It was only about then that Ernst Degner defected to the west and took Kaadens know how to Japan, that was the time that the modern day two stroke was born. The little two stroke 4 is very nice though ;)
