From Howard Langham, to answer some of the questions raised.
Max power at Crankshaft
500cc - 85bhp
680cc - 95bhp
750cc - 105bhp
Although it has four cylinders, it fires as a twin, hence only two expansion pipes, this firing system produces enormous torque, so making it ideal for sidecar use. (BHP sells engines - torque wins sidecar races !)
This is the same system I used on my Konig in 1976, and with the development of modern ignition systems and synthetic oils etc, hopefully it will be able to improve on 34 years ago.
It will be used in Post Classic and Historic GP class races.

Re: Konig Sidecar Outfit
Good to see Howard.......i still feel bad about letting him down for the 96 TT 
Nice lookin outfit......
.......and i'd agree Howard must have too much time on his hands if the lawn looks that good

Re: Konig Sidecar Outfit
racing was cheap in them days 8% VAT
The heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight.
But they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards in the night.
