Do you recollect your prime bike? Was it fast, nippy, aware and a joy to ride? I'll bet it was a 2 tend.

Castrol R is an oil, erstwhile markedly in use in centrifugal racing circles, in the main in the intoxicating 60's and 70's. A two-stroke oil, unmoving used in such as everyday property as lawnmowers, it was characteristic by its smell; an intoxicating perfume - past smelled, ne'er forgotten.

It was previously owned in athletics two manoeuvre centrifugal cycles of those days; Kenny Roberts, Barry Sheene, Phil Read and ad infinitum. Two strokes subordinate the world, because they were machines of feathery weight (no big camshafts or flywheels) and instantaneous command - best riders would label 'power bands' that could be likened to flicking a control on and off: tick over, nothing; throttle open, wham! Closing the accelerator was similar switching a low-density off - everything fades until that authority social group was reached over again. Four strokes were at a disadvantage; heavy, by design more than complex, and slow to accomplish that magical sway social group. In the cut and force planetary of racing, weight was the loser; single exotic machines, such as the 4-stroke Honda 4's and 6's of Hailwood fame, or the fantastically-prepared and improved MV Augustas, were a game for the 'strokers' - and this because of the astrophysical rate the engines wrong-side-out at - 15,000RPM was the criterion for the bantam Hondas..

Technology advanced, 4 contact machines became sober contenders, assisted by athletics rules that killed off the strokers - tumult pollution, fumes pollution, all frowned upon. But up to that point, it was a two feel worldwide.
