Sprint Bike Racing?

[helicopterjim]

I know they have the Sprint Car racing in United States (those cars are blindingly fast ....... but not on TV .... only when you go to the track can you see the acceleration).

I'm just wondering if this SF was adapted for a two wheel version.

I think that's an early iteration of Michael Moore's 750.
It ended up really technically interesting but yeah... pretty it wasn't. 
Lots of info here:

Interesting modified Ducati swing arm.

Frame looks very light. In those days it was common to have big tail sections on race bikes, supposed to restrict the low pressure pocket behind the bike but I guess it worked better in theory. Lots of development in that bike. Isn't speedway and flat track the equivalent of sprint racing on bikes?

That's a copy of a Seeley frame. Actually I thought it was a Seeley frame but then I checked Steve B's link to the Eurocycles pages...

Ah yes.
Michael Moore being a fervent Foale fan, I thought that it came from there.
