[ARC5] ARC-2 on Ebay

[Scott Robinson]

The rumor that I hear is that all the major Japanese motorcycle 
manufacturers require their street engines to endure 24 hours at full power.

And, believe it or not, Velocette, a British manufacturer, set a 24 hour 
100 mph record with a '60s Thruxton model. Engine is a push-rod 500 single.
