  • Classic Motorcycle Racing Engines, Kevin Cameron: after the ban, the previously supercharged Gilera 500 didn't perform well, so in 1948 Gilera redesigned the engine and created the 500-4. It was the mother (words?) of subsequent four-stroke inline fours that have dominated motorcycle racing since then. (credit Dennis)
  • L.J.K. Setright A History of the World's Motorcycles p. 153: In 1946, the first postwar motorcycle show was held, and racing resumed. The same year, superchargers were banned and race fuel was limited to 72 octane. (credit Dennis)
