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.

A 125 Bantam.
I have smoked a fag while riding a Bantam on several occasions
mostly for dramatic effect to 'say' my mates were slow

You'd have plenty of time between corners on a Bantam to spark up a tab and smerk it...

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 blowlamp

Full face lid, but somehow also managed to have a lit smoke on the go
