He hit over 65 MPH and this may surprise you but the race takes place in France so the camera motorbikes have the speed in kmh. Those bloody Europeans, win a world war for them and they won’t go imperial.
While the early Fizzy could push the needle near the 60mph mark when laid on the tank and with a decent wind behind you, the later FS1-E bikes were limited to 31mph. With a bit of tinkering though they could do 45mph once derestricted.
Would have been a bit embarrassing being overtaken with ease by a skinny kid on a pushbike.
Fizzys were all the rage at school, so wanted one, unfortunately I was too young to get a licence, stuck on a pushbike till I started earning after school. Then thankfully old enough to go for something a bit bigger cc wise.
