I think it was subject to a fair amount of speculation at the time as they
found his body after the event. From what I recall of reading about it there
were all sorts of conspiracy theories going around about it at the time too.
The bee theory is what was used in trivial pursuit (of all places!). I was
sure it was a Vincent Velocette... dunno why, just romantic notions I think.
I bow to your "Superior" knowledge ;o)

Brough Superior is correct but I read that he rode out because of trying to
avoid people (children?) on the road. Or is this just from the movie?
All the best!
