MORTONS ARCHIVE > Barry Sheene (1 file)

 Sheene tucks behind the screen of his Seeley-framed TR500 Suzuki and pushes the twin-cylinder engine up to its 8000rpm red line. This shot was taken at the Hutchinson 100 on 8 August 1971. The previous weekend he had won his third 125 GP of the season at Imatra. A few weeks later he broke a wrist in a crash at Hengelo in Holland - the first of many bones he was to break during his 14 years as a GP racer. If the World Championships had been scored the way they are now he would have taken the 125 title that year, his first as a professional racer.

WD600578@042 Gp Test Majest 
 Yamaha Majesty 400

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £5899 (plus OTR)

[TEXT]
The Majesty 400 looks quite similar to the Burgman, but (in my opinion) the styling is a bit more up to date so it’ll appeal to a broader spectrum of riders. I quite enjoyed riding this one, although as we got closer to the coast and the roads turned into bumpy ‘B’ lanes, its suspension struggled to cope quite as well as the Burgman, GP800 or Satelis. It just didn’t feel quite as well damped. At the time, myself and Stef were putting the scooters through some rigorous testing though on very dodgy roads! 
Yamaha have built the Majesty with a die-cast alloy chassis and they’ve tried to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, which does help with slow speed handling; it’s also pretty stable as you get to the top end. Acceleration is brisk on the Majesty, (slightly faster than the Suzuki at any rate) and when it gets going the 33.5bhp 395cc fuel injected engine seems to have plenty of mid-range grunt, which is always useful for overtaking. The bike was almost new with just 633 miles on the clock, so there’s still a chance it could loosen up a bit more and nudge that top speed into three figures. 
The Yamaha scores well on practicalities; it has bags of room under the seat (or should that be room for bags under the seat)? It’s also got a lockable glovebox for keeping your mobile and a bit of change for tools at reach and there’s plenty of weather protection from that large front fairing and screen. I found the seating position to be comfortable with enough room to stretch my legs a bit if need be and the riders backrest helped to cushion my back, the pillion seat looked quite plush too. 
Like any scooter, the Yamaha Majesty won’t appeal to everybody but if you’re looking for something relatively quick which can quite easily take the place of a city car and do a much more convenient and faster job of getting you to work, as well as being more than capable of touring, then the Majesty is wor

 Peugeot Satelis RS 500

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps

The previous weekend he had won his third 125 GP of the season at Imatra. A few weeks later he broke a wrist in a crash at Hengelo in Holland - the first of many bones he was to break during his 14 years as a GP racer. If the World Championships had been scored the way they are now he would have taken the 125 title that year, his first as a professional racer.

 A few weeks after his Daytona crash, Sheene bought himself this second-hand Rolls-Royce to cheer himself up. The famous personalised Barry Sheene racing plate followed. This picture was taken at the Match Races at Brands in April 1975. American rider Dave Aldana is the back seat passenger and the driver is Merv Wright, who moved from America to Britain to manage the Texaco Heron Team Suzuki squad the following year. If the picture had been taken a few minutes and few miles down the road it would have captured Aldana introducing the drivers of Kent to the American practice of mooning.

 Mick Grant on Sheene: "It wasn't so much that he disliked the TT as the politics and some of the people behind it. If Barry had gone to the Isle of Man he would have been a top runner and a winner."

 Back in the day, Lambretta Concessionaires actively supported owners carrying out their own maintenance on their scooters, either through local dealers, or even specialist staff from HQ attending club meetings. The photograph is dated 19.03.59 which if correct suggests that the Series 1 Lambretta was well established by now (note the diagrams on the wall behind), so maybe this class in the London area was for 'shaft drive' models only?

 If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwood’s Isle of Man TT return in 1978. Having spent 11 years away from the Island and motorcycle racing, except for the odd race down under, the idea of a TT comeback was considered crazy at best and downright dangerous at worst by some. But they needn’t have worried. If Mike had put in an appearance and just ridden for a finish he would have received a standing ovation. But that wasn’t the Hailwood style. In practice he hustled the Sports Motorcycles Ducati round at 111mph, over 7mph faster than the Formula 1 lap record, and won the race with ease.

 A LULL BEFORE THE STORM
IT'S a received wisdom that the general public knew nothing about Mods prior to the events of Easter 1964, but like most received wisdoms, it's only partially true. Many people are aware of the 1962 Town article featuring (amongst others) Marc Bolan, but if you look hard enough there is other material around pre-dating the seaside riots.
In December 1963 Motor Cycle magazine ran a light-hearted 'Are you a Mod or a Rocker?' quiz. Readers were asked questions about their attire and habits. The top three levels of scoring (Mod, Mid and Rocker) were all considered "with it", while the lowest scoring category (Old Fogey) was definitely considered to be "without it".
The piece was written by one Mike Evans and it is he who is featured as the example Mod, with a suitably scruffy Rocker alongside for comparison. Mike's clothes include a tab-collared shirt, Cuban heels and a collarless jacket and at this distance in time, it's difficult to recall if these were specifically Mod fashions in late '63. The scooter (a well used GS150 with chrome panels) looks about right though.
The article obviously isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and there's no sense of the friction that was to erupt four or five months later. This sort of thing could not have appeared in a motorcycle magazine after April 1964.

 If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwood’s Isle of Man TT return in 1978. Having spent 11 years away from the Island and motorcycle racing, except for the odd race down under, the idea of a TT comeback was considered crazy at best and downright dangerous at worst by some. But they needn’t have worried. If Mike had put in an appearance and just ridden for a finish he would have received a standing ovation. But that wasn’t the Hailwood style. In practice he hustled the Sports Motorcycles Ducati round at 111mph, over 7mph faster than the Formula 1 lap record, and won the race with ease.

 Sheene tucks behind the screen of his Seeley-framed TR500 Suzuki and pushes the twin-cylinder engine up to its 8000rpm red line. This shot was taken at the Hutchinson 100 on 8 August 1971. The previous weekend he had won his third 125 GP of the season at Imatra. A few weeks later he broke a wrist in a crash at Hengelo in Holland - the first of many bones he was to break during his 14 years as a GP racer. If the World Championships had been scored the way they are now he would have taken the 125 title that year, his first as a professional racer.

 A LULL BEFORE THE STORM
IT'S a received wisdom that the general public knew nothing about Mods prior to the events of Easter 1964, but like most received wisdoms, it's only partially true. Many people are aware of the 1962 Town article featuring (amongst others) Marc Bolan, but if you look hard enough there is other material around pre-dating the seaside riots.
In December 1963 Motor Cycle magazine ran a light-hearted 'Are you a Mod or a Rocker?' quiz. Readers were asked questions about their attire and habits. The top three levels of scoring (Mod, Mid and Rocker) were all considered "with it", while the lowest scoring category (Old Fogey) was definitely considered to be "without it".
The piece was written by one Mike Evans and it is he who is featured as the example Mod, with a suitably scruffy Rocker alongside for comparison. Mike's clothes include a tab-collared shirt, Cuban heels and a collarless jacket and at this distance in time, it's difficult to recall if these were specifically Mod fashions in late '63. The scooter (a well used GS150 with chrome panels) looks about right though.
The article obviously isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and there's no sense of the friction that was to erupt four or five months later. This sort of thing could not have appeared in a motorcycle magazine after April 1964.

 A LULL BEFORE THE STORM
IT'S a received wisdom that the general public knew nothing about Mods prior to the events of Easter 1964, but like most received wisdoms, it's only partially true. Many people are aware of the 1962 Town article featuring (amongst others) Marc Bolan, but if you look hard enough there is other material around pre-dating the seaside riots.
In December 1963 Motor Cycle magazine ran a light-hearted 'Are you a Mod or a Rocker?' quiz. Readers were asked questions about their attire and habits. The top three levels of scoring (Mod, Mid and Rocker) were all considered "with it", while the lowest scoring category (Old Fogey) was definitely considered to be "without it".
The piece was written by one Mike Evans and it is he who is featured as the example Mod, with a suitably scruffy Rocker alongside for comparison. Mike's clothes include a tab-collared shirt, Cuban heels and a collarless jacket and at this distance in time, it's difficult to recall if these were specifically Mod fashions in late '63. The scooter (a well used GS150 with chrome panels) looks about right though.
The article obviously isn't meant to be taken too seriously, and there's no sense of the friction that was to erupt four or five months later. This sort of thing could not have appeared in a motorcycle magazine after April 1964.

This is a reminder that if the British were reluctant to thank God for the scooter, then the Italians had no such inhibitions!

 Back in the day, Lambretta Concessionaires actively supported owners carrying out their own maintenance on their scooters, either through local dealers, or even specialist staff from HQ attending club meetings. The photograph is dated 19.03.59 which if correct suggests that the Series 1 Lambretta was well established by now (note the diagrams on the wall behind), so maybe this class in the London area was for 'shaft drive' models only?

 Yamaha Majesty 400

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £5899 (plus OTR)

[TEXT]
The Majesty 400 looks quite similar to the Burgman, but (in my opinion) the styling is a bit more up to date so it’ll appeal to a broader spectrum of riders. I quite enjoyed riding this one, although as we got closer to the coast and the roads turned into bumpy ‘B’ lanes, its suspension struggled to cope quite as well as the Burgman, GP800 or Satelis. It just didn’t feel quite as well damped. At the time, myself and Stef were putting the scooters through some rigorous testing though on very dodgy roads! 
Yamaha have built the Majesty with a die-cast alloy chassis and they’ve tried to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, which does help with slow speed handling; it’s also pretty stable as you get to the top end. Acceleration is brisk on the Majesty, (slightly faster than the Suzuki at any rate) and when it gets going the 33.5bhp 395cc fuel injected engine seems to have plenty of mid-range grunt, which is always useful for overtaking. The bike was almost new with just 633 miles on the clock, so there’s still a chance it could loosen up a bit more and nudge that top speed into three figures. 
The Yamaha scores well on practicalities; it has bags of room under the seat (or should that be room for bags under the seat)? It’s also got a lockable glovebox for keeping your mobile and a bit of change for tools at reach and there’s plenty of weather protection from that large front fairing and screen. I found the seating position to be comfortable with enough room to stretch my legs a bit if need be and the riders backrest helped to cushion my back, the pillion seat looked quite plush too. 
Like any scooter, the Yamaha Majesty won’t appeal to everybody but if you’re looking for something relatively quick which can quite easily take the place of a city car and do a much more convenient and faster job of getting you to work, as well as being more than capable of touring, then the Majesty is wor

 Peugeot Satelis RS 500

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: £4699 (OTR including £800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at its’ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps

Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did – better in fact thanks to this special RS version. Peugeot know how to build a good-looking scooter and this one is no exception. The obvious difference to the standard Satelis is the black paintwork with contrasting red trim, but it also comes with conventional brakes, as opposed to the ‘Executive’ model with ABS (a fact that helps to make the RS as sporty as it looks and save a few quid). With twin 260mm discs up front and a single 240mm disc at the rear, stopping is never going to be a problem; in fact the brakes are a little bit too sharp until you get used to them and it’s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and I’d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. They’re just so good looking and useable with their white fascias and crystal clear display that they put the lack lustre efforts of the other manufacturers to shame.
To help keep the Satelis as rigid on the road as possible Peugeot use 40mm forks up front and four position adjustable twin rear shocks. The shocks work with Peugeots Dual Swinging Linkage (DSL) engine mounting system to give great handling characteristics and it seems to work. The Piaggio derived engine is fuel injected and has plenty of power (38bhp) both from a standing start and in the mid range. It’ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra cc’s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didn’t seem to suffer quite as badly as the other three in the wind. Everything on the Satelis looks well put together and is finished perfectly. Perhaps
