§ 28. Mr. Hardyasked the Minister of Transport what is his estimate of the maximum speeds attainable by two-wheeled motor vehicles of the following engine capacities: 49, 99, 124 and 249 cc; and how such performance compares with that of vehicles of similar power which were available 23 years ago.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeA 49cc motorcycle can reach about 50 miles per hour, a 99cc one 60 to 70 miles per hour, a 124cc one 70 to 80 miles per hour and a 249cc one 80 to 100 miles per hour. Twenty-five years ago speeds would probably have been 20 to 33 miles per hour lower, although there were few 49cc and 99cc motor cycles then available.
