Really, it might be for that circuit. Suggest you check your facts and maybe speak to the rider who has exceeded that on a Norton Commando, he is still with as is the team manager, sadly the 2nd rider has passed away.I don't understand the title of this thread.
The 24 hour world record for a motorcycle was set 62 years ago by a 500 cc Velocette Venom at an average speed of 100.05 mph in 1961 at Autodrome de Linas-Montlhéry, a banked oval racetrack in France.
This record has never been beaten by any motorcycle of any capacity.
Unfortunately the record breaking machine was basically destroyed in the UK National Museum fire although a replica has been rebuilt.
Velos are pretty damn good bikes.

And complete absence of colour, too.Watch this rare footage of assembly during the last days at Bracebridge Str.! Note complete absence of daylight. Poor chaps.
Domiracer was coined by the factory in 1961 for the works special 500cc Dominator twin developed by Doug Hele as a demonstration of its potential performance against the Manx 30M 500cc single. The frame was a Renolds lightweigh steel reduced in height due to the lower top end of the Dommie motor and named the Low-Boy.
