The second instalment that follows the restoration of Barry Sheene's 1976 XR14 - the factory version of the iconic RG500.
Restored by former Grand Prix technicians Martyn Ogborne - who was Barry Sheene’s mechanic during his championship-winning seasons - and Nigel Everett, the factory version of the RG500 that dominated Grand Prix racing carried Sheene to four victories during the 1976 season.

This would have made a wonderful feature length documentary, such a shame it's been edited down to just 10 minutes.

I hope you two are passing on your knowledge to younger trainees. Don't take this the wrong way but people have a limited lifetime. These machines are part of motoring history and will be around a long time after all of us are gone. Two strokes are a different ball game especially when it comes to performance of this level. Keep up the good work !!

My father had a pic of this bike on the garage wall. I would like to have seen a bit more about how they sorted the magnesium corrosion and may be some video of it been ridden. The smell of a two stroke reminds me of helping my father when I was a kid. This was his era. He has left this world, I'm a bit sad now!

I saw Barry win the German Grand Prix in May 1977 at the Hockenheimring, don't know if it was that bike Berry was riding but it was incredible, I was 13 and blown away. One year later I got my first and by far not least Suzuki, a TS 50 ER. Both days I will never ever forget :)))
