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.

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Bullet
Boost peak power output to 21 bhp @ 6,500 rpm by various tweaks, add a bigger front stopper, drop the handlebar ends, spray on some
lustrous polychromatic paint and dip the lot in the chrome vat and this is how the â€œ350 Clipperâ€ emerged!
In fairness there was a little more to it than that, but in essence the 1960 â€œ350 Bulletâ€ was a sporting variant of its rather plain class-mate.
Again, Royal Enfield was keeping faith with a fast disappearing market sector in continuing this model. Twins were taking over and rorty
singles were not going to be the future. New for â€˜60 on the Bullet was an entirely AC/DC lighting and ignition system, gone was the magneto
ignition of yore, a contact breaker housing taking the place of the old â€˜magâ€™. In that much, at least, Redditch was following a trend.

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper-01
70mm x 90mm bore and stroke dimensions gave the Clipper its 346cc capacity. The 17 bhp
developed by this alloy-head, ohv motor, was identical with that obtained from the 248cc â€œCrusader
Sportsâ€ but, there was much more low-down grunt, more flexibility and with peak power coming in
at 5,500 rpm, a more leisurely ride.
A q.d., rear wheel was standard and the 33/4 gallon tank offered a good touring range. This was a
single-cylinder motorcycle in the best British tradition, would there be enough takers out there to
justify its well-intentioned makeover?

Royal-Enfield-1960-350cc-Clipper
Royal Enfieldâ€™s model designations began to get complicated at about this point; as the â€œ350 Clipperâ€ for 1960 was more in tune with the; spec level of the standard 250 â€œCrusaderâ€; rather than its â€œ250 Clipperâ€ namesake. Actually; this was a new introduction and a breakaway; from earlier middleweight Clippers; in that it represented a detuned and dechromed â€œBulletâ€; rather than the utility model it had previously; been.; By reducing the compression ratio; fitting 6â€ diameter brakes; touring â€˜bars; applying a sober mist grey/black paint finish and omitting most; of the chrome; the sporty â€œBulletâ€ had bred the new â€œ350 Clipperâ€.; At a moment when others in the industry were moving to scaled-up 250s for their middle capacity mounts; Enfield were staying faithful to; the scaled-down 500 approach; at least for another twelve months.

WD600578@042 Gp Test Majest
Yamaha Majesty 400

[TINTED PRICE BOX OUT]
RRP: Â£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 itâ€™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 â€˜Bâ€™ lanes, its suspension struggled to cope quite as well as the Burgman, GP800 or Satelis. It just didnâ€™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 theyâ€™ve tried to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible, which does help with slow speed handling; itâ€™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 thereâ€™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)? Itâ€™s also got a lockable glovebox for keeping your mobile and a bit of change for tools at reach and thereâ€™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 wonâ€™t appeal to everybody but if youâ€™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: Â£4699 (OTR including Â£800 discount)

[TEXT]
I was the first person in the country to ride the Satelis 500 at itsâ€™ UK launch a few years ago and I loved the scooter back then. Even now the scooter still looks as good as it did â€“ 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 â€˜Executiveâ€™ 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 itâ€™s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and Iâ€™d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. Theyâ€™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. Itâ€™ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra ccâ€™s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didnâ€™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 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 â€˜Executiveâ€™ 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 itâ€™s quite easy to lock the wheels if you use them in anger. Peugeot know how to make nice looking instruments and Iâ€™d say the clocks on the Satelis are as classy, crisp and clear as on any other bike or scooter on the market. Theyâ€™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. Itâ€™ll hit just over an indicated 100mph and those few extra ccâ€™s are noticeable over the Majesty and Burgman. Even at high speed the excellent chassis feels solid and stable and the scooter didnâ€™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

Barry, 17, was there that February day to gently run in the engines of two Bultacos his father Frank had tuned for the coming season. Barry returned the following week to complete the job and went so well he ended up racing them.

Sheene's bike was a special put together by his father using a Yamaha TD2 motor in a Bultaco chassis. The Yamaha engine was provided by Cheshire sponsor Gerald Brown who went on to provide 250 and 350 Yamahas for Sheene to race in 1971. Sheene said the support Brown gave in those early years was invaluable and helped him make his mark. (You Tube)

Barry began messing about on trials bikes after buying a Triumph Tiger Cub from future British sidecar champion Mick Boddice when they were both about 12 or 13 years old. The Cub was replaced by a Bultaco Sherpa when Barry began entering Kent club trials. This shot of him messing about at Snetterton on 13 October 1968 was taken shortly after he got back to Britain after acting as GP mechanic that season for Lewis 'Del Boy' Young. (You tube)

Haslam and Honda reigned supreme in British F1 racing in 1979. So Suzuki sprung their secret weapon - Sheene on the Dunstall GS1000. It came within inches of working too. That was Haslam's winning margin in their one and only F1 encounter, which was fought out at Oulton Park. Barry put in four practice laps on another F1 Suzuki at Oulton in 1983 but didn't race it and was never that keen on four strokes.

Sheene and Kenny Roberts are two of motorcycling's all-time greats but who was the best of the best? They first raced against each other at Daytona in 1974 and over the next decade they met more than 100 times and on four continents. Although Roberts beat Sheene in most of those encounters Merv Wright, who managed the Suzuki race effort in America and Europe, reckons Sheene was often on inferior machinery.

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.

We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamolaâ€™s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamahaâ€™s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamolaâ€™s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.

Few riders have enjoyed the large and loyal fan base that Texan Kevin Schwantz has and the one World Championship he has to his name doesnâ€™t do his talent justice. With his self confessed win-or-bust style it was obvious he was going to be popular with the crowds after his first visit to Europe to ride in the Anglo American Match Races. So much so that he always considered Donington Park and the British Grand Prix as his home round. When the inevitable Suzuki Grand Prix ride came along, Schwantz approached the top level of the sport with the same cavalier attitude â€“ when he won he did it with great panache, when he didnâ€™t he usually came back on the wrecker truck. Schwantz stayed loyal to Suzuki throughout his career and still works for the company today.

Few great racers make great engineers. Sidecar driver Helmut Fath was most definitely the exception to the rule. Captured here deep in concentration as, along with long-time passenger Wolfgang Kalauch, he drifts the URS outfit, a machine built entirely with his own hands, into a fast Oulton Park sweeper during the 1968 International meeting. Working in a tiny workshop, German Fath managed to build a four-cylinder engine so powerful, and reliable, that it took him and Kalauch to that seasonâ€™s World Championship, denying the previously dominant BMW crews victory.

In front of the packed banks around the atmospheric Assen circuit Rob McElnea (Suzuki) and Joey Dunlop (Honda) do battle for the 1983 Formula 1 crown. Everyone knew that Dunlop was the man to beat on the roads, but few gave him the credit he deserved as a circuit racer. Although it made perfect sense to include historic Assen in the Formula 1 championship; the original circuit used public roads, by 1983 it couldnâ€™t have been more different than the TT Mountain circuit or Dunlopâ€™s local Dundrod. Come the race, Joey silenced his critics with a fine runner-up spot behind McElnea, but the icing on the cake was the fact that he led home Honda team-mates Roger Marshall and Wayne Gardner.

If there is one race forever etched in motorcycle folk law then it is Mike Hailwoodâ€™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 neednâ€™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 wasnâ€™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.

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 Yamahaâ€™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.

Phil Readâ€™s comeback Isle of Man TT ride couldnâ€™t have been more unpopular among the TT cognoscenti, many of whom held him largely responsible for the Island races losing their World Championship status. With the inaugural Formula 1 Championship, decided on just one race in the Isle of Man in 1977, Read saw an opportunity to revive his career and take advantage of the generous start money offered by the organisers. Despite the obvious disapproval from sections of the crowd, Read kept his cool and rode his Honda Britain sponsored bike to victory in the weather-shortened race. But even that moment of glory was shrouded in controversy. With speculation that the Honda crew had received a tip off from an official that the flag would go out early, Read stayed out rather than pitting, while his nearest rival, Welshman Roger Nicholls, came in as planned and lost valuable time and with it any chance of victory.

Outspoken American Kenny Roberts arrived in Europe fearing no one and once on the track it was easy to see why. Captured here during the 1976 Anglo American Match Races, at Oulton Park, Roberts clearly isnâ€™t bothered by an unruly 750 Yamaha and the close proximity of the railway sleepers that line the circuit. Having been brought up on the dirt track ovals in his native USA, neither an excess of power nor a slippery track fazed the tough Californian. Roberts went on to win the blue-ribbon 500 title three times, in 1978/79/80, for Yamaha and after moving on to team management witnessed his son Kenny Junior take the title in 2000 riding for the rival Suzuki team, a feat no other father and son have equalled.

With his totally committed all-action style itâ€™s possible to see why Rocket Ron Haslam was always the fansâ€™ favourite. During the early years of his long and successful career, Ron was a regular crasher and must have tested both loyal sponsor Mal Carterâ€™s patience and bank balance. But Ron was never deterred and perfected his craft, going on to have a successful Grand Prix career. Riding for both Honda and Suzuki, he was the man to beat on British short circuits and even won a TT.

Ducati cruiser
Ducati Cruser - The Cruiser was the first ever scooter ever made by Ducati. It was a very advanced design when it debuted in 1951 with a single cylinder 175cc ohv engine, automatic transmission with a hydraulic torque converter, shaft drive, 12 volt electrics and an electric start â€“ the first on a scooter. With bodywork by Ghia and a two-tone paint job the Cruiser was a very nice piece of kit, but the engine had to be detuned for the Italian market and was limited to 50mph. It was too expensive for a country still bearing the scars of WWII and went out of production after two years with only about 2000 sold.

The official public debut of the Model 85 was at a press conference in late 1946 on Fargo Street in Los Angeles (chosen as Fargo Street was the steepest road in Los Angeles, with a 32 degree slope). The idea was to display the Model 85's hill climbing ability - a task it apparently managed with ease.

The infamous 1956 event with Bob McIntyre, on Joe Potts' pannier-tanked Norton, ahead of 250cc class winner Sammy Miller (NSU 87) McIntyre was set to take the lead from Bob Anderson when the flag went out by mistake and robbed him of a podential win.

Stirling Moss and Harry Secombe (larking about at the Grosvenor House launch for the Triumph/BSA). It was a handsome scooter rather let down by the poor detail design - just look at the kick-start for example! Sir Stirling (as he is now) was the original 'celebrity sportsman for hire' but nonetheless was - and still is a committed scooterist - mostly associated with Vespa/Piaggio.

In the same issue there is a photograph of a shop window full of helmets which span the range of what was on offer at this time. In the centre is what we would still recognise as a standard "open face" type extending down over the ears. This was a relatively new idea to motorcycling/scootering having originated with fighter pilots, reaching Formula 1 around 1959 and the general public about two years later. To the left can be seen its predecessor, the "Piss Pot" and underneath the standard white "Everoak" beloved of so many regular scooterists. The Everoak (and similarly-styled helmets from other makers) was especially despised by the Mods and it comes as a bit of a culture shock today to see a scooter resplendent with lights and mirrors being ridden by someone wearing such a thing.
Still, in 1963, such considerations were years away - Mods not generally wearing helmets in any case. Mod fashion in a motor cycle magazine? It never happened again!

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.

Nigel is TAG s Publisher at Mortons Media and apart from bringing us great bike and scooter titles to read every month, he s also a committed funky moped owner - well technically his Honda 90 isn t a moped, but we ll let him off Here s what he had to say:
What the hell do you want that for? is usually the question I m asked when people see my Honda CT90. The constant ribbing at work about my hobby becomes tiresome, but you know what, they don t know what they re missing.
My obsession - sorry I meant hobby - centres on two things; uniqueness and economy. I fell in love with this American import, also known as the Trail 90, a few years back having seen one of these orange funkmeisters at a show. I loved the knobbly tyres, eight gears, altitude adjuster, spare fuel tank, stubby mudguard, the colour and it fitted in nicely with my 70s renaissance that seems to dog the student world every five-or-so years. This bike had it all for me.
The economy side is twofold; firstly I can run this bike at around 120mpg and enjoy the world passing by at around 50mph, just sitting back and relaxing. The other bit is the price. You can buy this classic bike with 1200 miles on the clock for about 800 (Stateside you d pay twice that!) what other mint classic bike would you get for that with the coolness my bike has got. Stretch T-shirts are back!

1965 â€“ THE ALTERNATIVE VIEW
Scooters and Swinging Britain as seen through the eyes of Motor Cycle magazine

Alternative to what exactly? Well, you may be under the impression that 1965 was a seminal year of pep pill fuelled power pop featuring defining moments in music, fashion and film. But to those over thirty it mattered not a jot that Bob Dylan had gone electric. In this time of far less media saturation than today, it was much easier to create your own reality by restricting your reading matter to publications that confirmed your view of the world and ignoring everything else.
Motor Cycle was one such publication that gave a reassuring impression that nothing had really changed in the last ten years or so. Scooterists were still considered to be a bit daft and it was reported with some glee that Lambrettas running-in instructions included the immortal instruction: â€œIn winter, let the engine idle for some minutes in order to warm up before startingâ€!
The Isle of Man Scooter Week took place as usual with a couple from Sweden winning the Loving Cup on their SS180. Incidentally, the attendance of 411 scooters was reported as being a record for this event, which rather suggests that some earlier events must have been rather small affairs. As always, any British scooter launch was eagerly reported upon, so the new Triumph T10 was given a fair amount of space and such a machine was won by Heather Desert in the â€˜National Personality Girlâ€™ contest. Unfortunately, the T10 was to be the last serious British attempt at a mass produced scooter.
â€˜Publicity runsâ€™ were still in evidence and a couple of Britons (Bob Forrest Webb and Ian Speller), had carried out a Croydon backed non-stop journey from London to Milan on a GT200. On reaching Milan they posed dressed up as city gents. Other than the scooter itself, the whole episode has more of a feel of 1958 about it rather than 1965.

Mallory Parks favourite son John Mooneyes Cooper in typical pose as he rounds Gerards Bend during the 1971 Easter Sunday meeting ahead of Lincolnshire ace Steve Machin (Padgett Yamaha) and Jim Curry on the 350 Honda twin. An unlikely looking hero, with his studious John Lennon glasses, on this occasion Cooper heads the field on his 350 Yamsel, the product of joining one of Colin Seeleys fine handling chassis with the, by then, dominant Yamaha engines. For a decade or more Cooper was the man to beat at Mallory Park, whether Manx Norton, BSA Rocket 3 or Yamsel mounted.

Sheene NNC Slide Suzuki 1976-7-8-9 004
We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy MamolaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and YamahaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American MamolaÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.

We can only guess what it is that Barry Sheene and Graeme Crosby find so amusing about Randy Mamola's knee sliders in this 1981 assembly area shot. As you can see from the DIY knee protection used by both Suzuki ace Crosby and Yamaha's Sheene the knee slider generation was still in its infancy, but clearly American Mamola's radical hang off style called for something a little more substantial. What the image does illustrate is that Grand Prix racing was still a whole lot of fun and while things got serious out on the track, in the paddock even the top riders could still enjoy a laugh and joke.

Mallory Parkâ€™s favourite son John â€˜Mooneyesâ€™ Cooper in typical pose as he rounds Gerardâ€™s Bend during the 1971 Easter Sunday meeting ahead of Lincolnshire ace Steve Machin (Padgett Yamaha) and Jim Curry on the 350 Honda twin. An unlikely looking hero, with his studious John Lennon glasses, on this occasion Cooper heads the field on his 350 Yamsel, the product of joining one of Colin Seeleyâ€™s fine handling chassis with the, by then, dominant Yamaha engines. For a decade or more Cooper was the man to beat at Mallory Park, whether Manx Norton, BSA Rocket 3 or Yamsel mounted.
