Another historic Yamaha in need of bringing back to life has materialized.... This time it's a TR2 special built and raced by the late Steve Machin, multi British Champion and innovative bike builder.
Features of this bike include a special frame, Dunstall forks with disk brakes (like the Phil Read TR2) and water cooling.
The bikes engine number also gives a clue to the bikes builders... SMB101
SAUNDERS MACHIN BRIGGS
I am looking for any picutres of the bike in action, so if you have any of Machin in circa 1971-73, please drop me a line...
Do you still need pictures for your project? I could ask my mum (Steve's widow) if she would be happy to send you some scans, if she has photos of this particular bike.
