The power band of a 1967 Suzuki RK67. It occupied the 500 rpm between 17,000 and 17,500.
The engine, then, went something like this:
Splutter
Splutter
Splutter
Splutter
Splutter
Wheeee
Bang
To make use of the milliseconds between splutter and bang required the use of one of these, a thing rarely seen
Yes, a fourteen speed gearbox.

Old school 50cc race bikes are awesome. I believe Suzuki went up to 21 gears as well.

17.5hp out of a 2-cylinder 50cc engine is absolutely insane.

Ah okay. I though it was also the sump but couldn’t tell. So the missing shaft is the main drive lay shaft
