In 1910 almost 3,200 singles were sold; in 1913 this number had almost doubled but in 1914 the output of singles had fallen to a little more than 3,200. That same year some 15,000 twins left the factory, so we can safely conclude that a ’14 single is a rare beast.

Bore and stroke dimensions were 84.14 x 101.6 mm and the engine delivered about 5 hp @ 2,200 rpm, good for a top speed of 80 km an hour. The 1914 V-twin model was good for 9 hp @2,400 rpm.

And as always, the race will feature “Baja Bugs”—modified Volkswagen Beetle vehicles—as well as Spartan racers using Beetle running gear that have shown their mettle across the deserts for five decades and counting in Mexico and the U.S. Born from the dune buggy and off-roading culture of southern California in the ‘60s, the SCORE Baja 1000 has become renowned in motorsports for the scope of the challenge, both in terms of distance and terrain. In 2017, the race course will be approximately 1200 miles long, starting in Ensenada and finishing in La Paz, and is the last round of the four-race 2017 SCORE World Desert Championship. This will be the 43rd time the iconic race has started in Ensenada and the 21st time it will finish in La Paz. Throughout, drivers and navigators encounter rocks, steep gullies, washboard roads, blinding dust and sand pits—all of which only becomes more dangerous when racing at night.

  • “I'm Not Sure Whether I'm an Actor Who Races Or a Racer Who Acts”
    “I'm not sure whether I'm an actor who races or a racer who acts” Steve McQueen was both actor and racer of automobiles / motorcycles and he did both well. His racing career began while he was a student actor earning cash racing a used Harley Davidson in the early 1950s. The Blob (1958)The Blob Steve’s acting career began in 1953 with B- movies like the “Blob” and continued until 1980 with the movie “The Hunter.” By the early 1970s, McQueen had become the world’s highest paid actor. He was also successful in TV with his best known performance in the series “Wanted: Dead or Alive” from 1958 to ’61. Motorcycling was in his blood early on. His first bike was a 1946 Indian He appreciated the The Magnificent Seven (1960) Seven Magnificent The sense of freedom of cycling and was soon captivated with off-road racing when he witnessed a skilled rider navigating up a steep hill in the Hollywood area. He purchased a Triumph 500 and with help from his friend, Bud Ekins, became competitive in some of the best of the off-road races like the Baja 1000. The Great Escape (1963) When Bruce Brown, producer of “On Any Sunday,” and “Endless Summer,” approached Steve about financing a movie about motorcycling, he didn’t hesitate even though he probably would never make any money on the project. The movie turned out to be a classic. Speed was addicting for Steve as it is for many people who race. Auto racing was as much a part of his life as motorcycling.
