[QUOTE="Monkeypants, post: 171324, member: 2708"] I suspect that is it. After reading period road tests about BSA's new " Roadburner" I expected a bit more. The engine is in great shape. The leak down test was excellent. It starts and runs very nicely. A10s just don't make a lot of power. The other problem is that I have also have a Norton 650ss. The BSA lovers insist that the late Super Rocket is a match for the Norton. Getting off the BSA and onto the Norton is like getting out of a 1960s VW bug and into a big block Corvette. Getting off the 600cc Norton 99 and onto the 650SS, same result only moreso. The 99 is even more of a plodder than the BSA. Many thanks to Doug Hele and his downdraught Norton 650 heads !
