Steve Wilkinson has a 1959 or so Berkeley Sports which had an 18 horsepower twin when new. He sectioned it and widened it 10 inches and it now has a Suburu flat four with WAY more power!

It’s a work in progress.....

Sounds hard to believe - but true. Drove it off the ship in San Francisco in 1965. Now has a 250 h.p. rotary @ 11,500 red line. A little rocket ship.
