Found this to be interesting - it seems to be factual.

To me, my Seeley 850 is a toy when compared with other bikes on the straights on a race circuit. It barely keeps up, however that is all it really needs to do. It is much faster everywhere else. I would not call it a superbike. A good guy on an RC125 Honda would beat it easily.

Many people who road race probably do not know the 3 days of the Goodwood Revival are live-streamed on Youtube on the weekend around the 15th of September each year. More can be seen when it is watched on TV, than by actually being there.
