As best as I can piece together from the SCTA website, combining the
results up through 2000 with the 2001 results, here are some numbers
for motorcycles at Bonneville.  For both partial and unstreamlined,
I have two pairs, fuel and gas, blown and un-blown.

Partial Streamlined

3000 APS-PBF Jon Minono                      Triumph  2001 238.740
3000 APS-F   D Campos                        H/D      1974 231.597

1350 APS-BG  Stevens Motorsports-Charlie Toy Kawasaki 1997 227.772
3000 APS-G   D Campos                        H/D      1974 208.450

No Streamlining

1350 A-BF    Les Ranger                      Honda    1991 219.339
2000 M-F     Dave Matson                     Vincent  1988 210.357

750  A-BG    Scott Guthrie                   Yamaha   1990 176.207
3000 A-G     Tom Elrod                       Kawasaki 1979 200.022

Not sure how to classify the Production frame class, since bikes
today are sold with fairings, so here is another record to note.

1350 P-P     R Yacoucci                      Suzuki   1999 201.708

Interestingly, I couldn't find a big displacement, unstreamlined,
blown gas record.

If you are interested, you may download an Excel spreadsheet I created
from the SCTA website data (sorry, motorcycles only), at

http://home.pacbell.net/compserv/BonnevilleMotorcycleRecords.xls

No guarantee for accuracy!
