The Kwak triple was no slouch either-------
But the only one that could handle the poke was the Desmo 250.

The KH lead on to the KR 1s.
That was a handy tool,held together better than a Gamma.

Honda Dream 250cc Super Sport also called the Hawk maybe didn't do a true 100mph but was very close to it,over 95mph. Don't get it mixed up with the trailing link tin can Dream which did about 75-80mph-----------------just to clarify the doubters

Briefly using a flying machine of a CB250 K4 (after my c15, the honda was a flyer) I seemed to recall that down hill with a trailing wind and squinting in the right direction I could be convinced there was a ton on the clock. When it got replaced by the GT250, I didn't need to squint quite as much. On a kettle by the time the LC hit affordable.

Great fun ~100mph 250cc bikes on L plates. Poor kids have no fun on their castrated rev and rips.

No GPS in them days to check true speed as against the speedo reading and I don't even recall seeing a "radar" trap in 63,64,just needed eyes in your 'rse

It's Compulsory Basic Training, not Complete. It's intended as a small interim measure while you're in training to take your licence. In the same way people can drive a car on L plates provided someone's sitting helpless in the passenger seat to squeek while they do.
