This was an interesting read, I always adored the Elf-bikes so I wasn't surprised to see them on the list here. Anything lacking?

Thanks for posting that, it is an interesting read. The Elf bikes are new to me.
The only admission I can consider is the JPS Norton which used a wankel engine. I remember it being piloted by Ron Haslam in BSB but also as a wildcard in the 1991 British 500cc GP.

Oddball bikes for sure. Someone should get Mat Oxley to do a piece on these bikes.
