My recollections of racing against the Berpop in the 60s was that it was formidable under acceleration and along the straights, but was fairly reluctant when it came to cornering. I can only remember seeing it at Mallory, although my memory could be suspect after all this time, but the Berpop was handicapped there because of the hairpin - there were a number of us who had trouble keeping up with it until we approached the hairpin, at which point we would all bunch up again.
It certainly was a magnificent beast, along with a few others such as Richard Scantlebury's Janglia which also suffered from the same problems as the Berpop.
