Honda could run about 100mph down the main straights of a roadrace course in the mid 1960's with a 2-cyl DOHC 50cc roadrace bike.   That's four stroke for those folk in Rio Linda.  About 15HP?

How fast could it have gone in LSR competition?

My vote goes to Brant/Wright/Speranza J fuel streamliner. I happen to know that they were running a 600cc (36 cu. inch) engine when they set the record at an RCH under 220 mph, that gives them 6.1 mph/cu. inch. If you go through the records I doubt you will find any cars, or motorcycles for that matter, that can match that record to cubic inch ratio.

Glen,
This would make the mph/cu.in. ratio = 7.4 which is pretty darn impressive, but it is blown vs NA for the BWS car.

"Got'Cha" was first run in 1974. Bill Temple entered both 2 clubs in 1976 with records in AA/BGR. At El Mirage 201.79 and Bonneville at 220.

In 1977 Greg Temple started driving "Got'Cha" and entered the El Mirage Dirty 2 club in 1979 @ 201.97. Greg went on to set two records at Bonneville, one in 1981 at 241.848, then in 1991 he set another record at 262.230

Bill and Greg were the first father and son to enter the El Mirage Dirty 2 club. They broke the D/BFR at Bonneville in 1981 @ 241 with top speed of 249. This record still stands today. In 1991 they set the A/BFR @ 262 which was later broke by Duane McKinney.
