What was the difference in the bikes I wonder?

Evel's bike was much heavier.
Pretty sure he jumped using Harley Davidson road bikes.
To put it in perspective, it would be similar to shooting a free throw with a medicine ball.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Makes EK's feats even more mindboggling.

He used a Indian Scout FTR750, which was very close to the weight of the bikes Evel used.
