Re: Great bike pictures!
That's a rare photo. I'm an expert on Sheene and never seen a bike of his with no sponsorship. And the colour scheme is strange.

The one of Mike Hailwood behind Phil Read in the act of falling off almost looks like it was Photoshopped. And here's my pic of Ago on his MV at the 2016 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The tricky bit was lighting the cigarette. A Zippo would light while riding but it turned into an exercise in removing facial hair with a blowlampmangocrazy wrote: ↑Wed Dec 13, 2023 11:47 am You'd have plenty of time between corners on a Bantam to spark up a tab and smerk it...

Lots of couriers in London used to manage it... pull the chin bar down a bit, angle the ciggie upwards jauntily...

I’d hazard a guess early 83
Had his bad crash at Siverstone on the Yam V4 then returned on a customer Suzuki.
Could this photo be on some pre season test before any sponsorship was announced ??
