Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011: motorcycles on the hill
While Haslam is representing modern BMW, the only two- and four-wheel world champion, John Surtees, will be riding the supercharged Type 255 Kompressor BMW race bike, which took Georg Meier to victory in the Isle of Man Senior TT in 1939.
The event theme of innovation and machinery that significantly improved motorcycle racing is covered by a host of bikes, some very rare, many of them very expensive, if not priceless.
Honda's astonishing NR is represented, the 750cc road bike version of arguably the most exotic grand prix machine ever built. The NR500 GP bike was designed for a quixotic battle against the dominant two-strokes, its inherent four-stroke power disadvantage countered by the use of oval pistons and eight valves for each of the V4's cylinders.
It didn't succeed, but the swansong 750cc road version went on sale in 1992 for more than £30,000. The irony was that its legacy was not the technology but the style, copied by Ducati designer Massimo Tamburini for the seminal 916 superbike.
Another path that sucked in funds with poor results was hub-centre steering, tried at the highest level with Honda technology and Elf oil company support. The ex-Ron Haslam Elf 3, powered by an NSR500 two-stroke, will be running at Goodwood.
The bike scored points in the 1986 grand prix season, and even won at the non-championship Macau GP, but despite its advantages the lack of feedback compared with conventional forks always let it down.
From the same year is the Heron Suzuki RG500 grand prix bike, with its carbon-fibre honeycomb chassis, designed for superior stiffness with less weight. It might have seemed like a dead end but it was an important step to discovering that, unlike cars, motorcycles handle best with optimum chassis stiffness rather than the maximum.
There's older technology too, with the world's first four-valve-per-cylinder motorcycle, a 1913 Peugeot race bike, as well as machines to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Honda's first championship win, such as the RC162, the ex-Freddie Spencer 1983 NS500 two-stroke, and the fabulous RS125.
* The 500,000th Triumph built by the revived Hinckley incarnation of the brand will go on sale in the Bonham's auction at during the Festival of Speed.
