Kaaden was not involved with either the V1 or V2 projects he worked on the HS293 at Peenemunde which was a glide bomb and he worked on resonance at DKW but it was Erich Wolfe who invented the expansion chamber.

I saw the Britton race at Laguna Seca and almost lap the entire field it was so fast. Could wheelie out of every corner on the track. Sounded beautiful.

those two strokes weighed under 130kg , and were presented at scrutineering wearing wet weather tyres , weighed dry they came in at 130.5kg , but those tyres added nearly 2.5kg , thing is , the bikes could have been made to weigh under 100kg , the only reason they weighed what they did was because of the regulations , same with the noise regs , when we did the noise tests they had to come in at 98.5 db at 7500 rpm . the 1993 Rothmans Honda that Doohan rode idled at 7100 , was tested at 7500 , 98.5db , and sounded like it was misfiring just off idle , at 7700 rpm it was at 103.5db and a shrieking banshee , the engineers knew exactly what was happening at any point , yes i was an FIM scrutineer .

That Norton rotary was actually 1500cc because the swept volume is not the actual capacity....
