Owned this for some years now, original 1992 blade which was modified and tuned by (then) legendary bike builders V&M racing (owned by Jack Valentine and Steve Mellor) - bored out to 1050 with race cams and carbs, dynoed at the time back in '95/6 showing a maximum power of 180bhp which was roughly equivalent to the 500GP bikes of the time - I plan to get this properly fettled again and out on track at some point, although my back will need to have improved before that will be possible.
Triton, 1957 triumph engine with delta cylinder head, Norton gearbox, Tony Burgess manx frame and swing arm.
there is a honda and a guzzi to be fair im sorry to have besmirched the site wit my crappy old ducatis
Yes it was one of the priorities Dave.The original 1976 stamped exhausts are like gold dust .Managed to find a company prepared to re chrome .The exhausts alone can go for up to 2 k but objective from the start was for original as possible
Bazzer, thought you might like to see a fellow M20 in use. This is my father who went over on D Day+6 and served in the Royal Corps of Signals as a dispatch rider aka Don R.
Brought this in march 2015 took me 4 years to restore don't use it as much as I would like but for me it's a keeper brings back so many fond memories when me and 2 of my mates in 1991 had the same bikes same colour Out every weekend using the now famous A272 and going to the island we had a great few years thrashing these around
Agreed. An old mate had one. On our Sunday Morning run, he'd come past me on my T9 while I had it pinned ... I was occasionally tempted to step off my bike while doing 3-digits because I thought I must have stopped. Rocketship.
My old 1972 MZ ETS 250 Trophy sport...another one that got away, bit of an Ugly duckling but i really liked it, sold for peanuts in harder times and theyre now fetching silly money, currently on the look out for another.
