Classic motorcycle racing has benefitted from the activities of firms and individuals who produce components enabling the creation of machines such as the Manx and G50.
The G50 offered was built by the vendor for use in the Manx Grand Prix using a Beale frame equipped with Maxton adjustable suspension front and rear. A Fontana front brake is complimented by a drum rear, both laced to lightened rims. The G50 engine is fitted with a NEB crankshaft and fed by a Gardiner carburettor with the ignition being provided by a PAL magneto. A NEB clutch and a magnesium cased Summerfield six speed gearbox are employed. A Krober rev counter and a specially made race fairing are fitted to the machine which is finished in the traditional G50 maroon livery. The paintwork is new and the gearbox has recently been checked by Summerfield. The engine, ignition system, and cycle parts are all described as being "as raced". The motorcycle was raced by Richard Coates and Paul Dobbs in the Manx Grand Prix, both riders achieving 100 mph laps and by Bruno LeRoy in short circuit events and INCA races and the vendor at Goodwood. The frame around which the machine is built has the distinction of being used by Phil Read in his last competitive outing on the Isle of Man.
