Rick of Wreckless Motorcycles had always inspired by speedway bikes of the 70's. So thought it was about time he and co-founder Ian built one.
Based around two old parts, a Ducati bevel engine and Jawa frame, with the rest either new or fabricated they created this very unique build.
Admittedly by Rick, it's more of a caricature of a speedway bike than a faithful replica, hence the features of handy things like brakes among other additions.
Nonetheless, it's an impressive build and certainly something you don't see often!

Hmmm, not sure about this one. If you're going to pay homage to speedway bikes then its the beautiful simplicity of them that should be celebrated. This is just a mess... And those petronas stickers...

A "caricature" motorcycle... Functional art? I love it. First time hearing thatterm for me and it's makes perfect sense. Have loved the look of Speedway cycles since I was 12. To ride that about town... Way cool. Thanks for sharing.

That frame looks bent to me. The bit between the oil filler cap and the headstock has a bow in it, this is an indication that the frame has been bent in a crash. As they said it's a used frame so there's no history on what's happened to it previously. A bend in the frame in that position would push the forks and front wheel back towards the engine and decrease the amount of room for them to fit into. I'm wondering if that's why the forks were extended? I would be interested to put that diamond into a jig to see just how much it's bent out of shape.

Nice looking, but heavy and slow compared to a alcohol fueled high compression Speedway race engine from the 1970's.

@russellbrown7028 3 жыл бұрын

Very interesting special. Would be nice to do with a BSA B50 engine, which has around the same dimensions as the 450 Ducati, but left side drive. A sprung grass-track frame may have been an easier basis for the build.

Why a tribute to LH?? He is nowhere nearly as skilled as any speedway rider, quite the opposite. Also, his woke left attitude and hypocrisy is astoundingly sad. Not impressed, not subbing, no thumbs up.
