Seeley 500cc G50 Racing Motorcycle
Frame no. RMT MK2 40R
Engine no. G50.69R

Colin Seeley's racing frames are world renowned and earned him a reputation as one of the world's best frame designers. For many years the only person licensed to make Seeley frames and carry on that tradition has been Roger Titchmarsh.

This very impressive racing motorcycle features the classic combination of a Titchmarsh built Seeley mark 2 frame and a G50 engine. The frame was originally supplied to Chris Watters in August 1990. According to Roger Titchmarsh it was equipped with an additional lightweight bracket for a horn at the request of the customer because he intended to make the machine street legal. It was finished in black stove enamel from new, again at the customer's request. It is not known whether this Seeley was ever road registered, but that horn bracket is thought to have been removed. The engine is a Rutter Developments G50, the gearbox a 6 speed Quaife with a Bob Newby clutch and belt primary drive, whilst the carburettor is a smoothbore Amal. The rear shocks are Konis, and the high level exhaust has adjustable baffles. Ignition is by an electronic self generating magneto, and a Scitsu electronic rev counter is fitted. The immediately previous owner was Adrian Cooper who rode it to victory in the 2008 Post TT meeting at Mallory Park. The trophy from that race win accompanies the bike which was last ridden by the vendor in the 2014 Bike Bonanza also at Mallory Park.
