The 500cc 3&4cyl 2strokes could produce ridiculous HP at a certain RPM and had to be detuned to make them "rideable" although it was still almost like a flat "open or shut" position on the throttle. When 50cc racing was going in the 60s some of the engines had a very narrow power band of only 2 or 3 hundred revs and some had 16 speed gear combinations to keep them going !
