I interpreted your post as that the son emailed these suggestions to you, and thus that son was making the inline comments. Similarly, someone younger may not have lived through the times involved. (I was in elementary school when I bought a pocket box, for example.)
My response would be "More than likely yes, it was based on Harleys from the 60s and 70s." Poking around some random sites with specs for various models from that era, I got a range from ~350 to ~750 lbs. From there you're looking at how much is science, how much is fiction, and how much is game balance for a system that didn't have trikes or gas engines.
As far as how CW things compare to modern vehicles, well, almost of Car Wars is from 20 years ago or more. They probably shouldn't compare well.
I wish them the best in their chosen house revisions, though. I hope they're having fun with the theorycraft.
