So how did these bikes go in the 1982 World Four Stroke Champs?
I noted that sarcasm Ross ;D you must be feeling a little better today ;)

Bloody hell, just fancy a 4 stroke winning the 4 stroke world championship. The 4 stroke World Championship I believe was one meeting in the US at the time. A bit like the US based Cow Pat throwing world Championship and the three legged Schnauzer tail chasing world championship. Just a little bit narrow focus I think nothing like eliminating the competition I suppose.

Why didn’t they just race the bikes against open competition?
They still run the World 4 stroke championship in the US now, they really should just call it the US 4 stroke champs but a lot of top pros do ride it.

I seem to remember they bolted some 4 banger into his cr250 frame. Also johnson fronted up after a red-eye flight from an overseas super cross I think
