The Hailwood rep looks rather nice.

I quite like the oily nastiness of whatever #18 is meant to be.

A neighbour has had a Mike Hailwood rep from new.

That KB1 hasn't improved with age....

They do look lovely.
I rode on whilst at the Manx GP (a friend has one).
They look a lot better than they ride ;)

A mate has a Hailwood, it's a 70's 900ss with paint and a fairing (he also has a 900ss). They're OK, a Guzzi from that era is a lot more practical as a classic ride (he's got a MK1 Le Mans as well).

Looks like a Norton ( Dominator?) shoestring racer from the 1960s. Has dangerous written all over it - especially the hook holding the tank strap on. Its eye-watering to even think about the consequences of making contact with that.
