When speedway was at its best, with straight through pipes, & Castrol R!

I rode a Jawa speedway bike a few times. It's something you need to do as a young person. One foot peg, No brakes, no shifting, No fear.

My Dad rode speedway in the 50s early 60s. Had his JAP powered bike nicked from his pub in Tottenham in about 1974. It was copper colour framed with a white seat.

Love to take it for a spin . Very beautiful bike

Music to my ears!

Love it, well worth the wait.

Would have loved to have seen the whole bike, from what i can see she looks stunning. Good job

Nice, but spinning that back wheel with medals dangling from his neck!!

Music to the ears !!

Don't know much about bikes. It a good presentation

Great bike - Weslake's and Jawa's were great too but listen....if you're EVER starting, inspecting, listening to, diagnosing or putting yourself in any sort of proximity to rotary driven, moving parts (fans, wheels, pullies, belt-drives, axles, etc) please, please, please don't do as the guy does in this video, which is to be wearing a necklace & drawstrings & getting frustrated at around the 1:13 mark, he leans in to try again to start the bike & the stuff round his neck swings within about 2 inches of the spokes. Had the bike of fired at that moment & the necklace caught in the wheel we'd have all been watching one of those horrific accident, decapitiation type videos that do so well on line!

Love those James A. Prestwich 500 singles and have ridden speedway in my youth. Did fairly well but was 6'4" and 240 lbs--too big for being really competitive. Had the wrong bike also--a 500cc Vincent, with a sprung rear end. Loads of punch, bad handling. Not enough coin nor the desire to ruin a precious vintage scooter.

What's with all the poxie revving?

Would be more interesting for the viewer if the wheel was slightly buckled.

Need to get someone to spin wheel with a bit more oomph! My dad had 4B's ending ip with a 4v which was crap!

Music!

I bet it would still beat flat track bike in a race.

I'm looking for a engine for my bike like this

muy buenas motos y agrego un dato el apellido de mi abuela es jap saludos

Look how he was starting the bike with all that stuff hanging from his neck.

Damn JAPanese motorcycles

Ein geiles Männerspielzeug, echt toll

It's shame they didn't film from other angles.

Here is our 30 minute film about driving a JAP engine on small Eifel roads near Nürburgring: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obeAZNmkyayzmZ8.html

JAP engine does not start until 1:20

no brake?

Wish could get those 3 minutes back. What's your next post, paint drying?

Desperately over-polished. No speedway bike ever looked like that. (Sorry to be negative.)

Music to my ears!
