Have followed the thread with interest. Not sure if I've misread the above though. My 1954 AJS 350 was capable of either 74 or 76mph according to the contemporary road test. (It was a long time ago.) At that speed I'd suspect the well worn euphemistic phrase "some vibration was apparent" became relevant.
To get over 80mph you needed a 500, but most 500 singles still didn't get much over 80. Nowhere near a "ton".
Although made new in 2020 the Royal Enfield 350s are still basically 1950s technology. You can't compare their performance to modern singles like KTM f'rinstance.
