I raced everything really, competing in 125 cc, 250 cc and 500 cc categories with my largest bike being 900cc.
If it helps, I competed at Grand Prix level, both on motorcycles and in cars.

Re: Mornington Crescent, anyone?
I was indeed Mike Hailwood. Rather sad after all those dangerous racing feats that I and my daughter died in a Rover SD1 while nipping out for a fish supper
though I suppose I had been warned by a fortune teller years before
