This was one of the problems with the old Triumph twins. With the dome shape piston and the spark plug to the side, detonation was never getting to the opposite side to the plug in the combustion chambers . That is why when you change the oil on a triumph twin, you always can smell fuel in the oil, which hasn't been burnt off. On the Triumph race engines I always blocked off the original plug hole and relocated it to the top of the engine, this gives a better detonation and power

It's funny that they seem to live in mortal fear of higher rpm, guess that's from brit bike experience.
