Sheene's superbike outings were given a much needed tonic when the ageing road-based TR750 Kettle was pensioned off and replaced by stretched versions of the RG500 square-four GP machine. The 535 prototype was the work of Frank Sheene and long-serving mechanic Don Mackay and debuted at the end of 1976. Barry is pictured at Brands in 1978 on the factory RG700 is spawned.

Rossi senior only managed 23rd in the 500cc World Championship that season, but had been placed as high as fifth, in the 1980 title race. Better known as a 250 runner, Rossi should have won the 1979 250 title aboard the factory Morbidelli, but his campaign came apart mid-season.

This poignant shot, taken on one of the dangerous Armco lined bends at the Salzburgring shows just how far safety has moved on in Grand Prix road racing. The two gladiators going at it hammer and tongs, just as they had all of the 1973 season, are Yamaha’s Jarno Saarinen and factory Aermacchi Harley- Davidson rider Renzo Pasolini. In what was a classic confrontation the experienced Pasolini needed all his time-served track craft to run with the rising Finnish ace Saarinen. Just weeks after this shot was taken both riders lost their lives at the equally dangerous Monza, robbing the sport of two of its all time greats.
