The Place

A friend mentioned that he found this in the back of his garage.... any ideas on its age or anything?

Seems to have a big tank...

Has a Yamaha engine...

I have more pictures....

just happened to find an Ireson/R6 Yamaha with a dry sump in the back of his garage !!!!!! ,lucky sod
well its tig welded,,I think Trevor started tig welding chassie's mid nineties,bike looks the same as Wally saunders R6 that i passengered 2003 TT,so my guess no older than 10yrs old.The double handle by the radiator is not standard,and could be a help in finding the old owners,the layout is typical Ireson and possibly has done the TT.

If you look at the rest of the stuff about.. he likes his toys..... and expensive ones... but wants to clear loads of space

Wish I could find something like that at the back of my garage, in fact I wish that I could find anything in my garage

Pics of the body if that helps too

Have to admit as Bruce said, it does look like my old bike, but there again, all Trev’s bikes look the same !! Mine got changed a lot after I sold it.
As far as I know he didn’t build may R6 with dry sump system, possibly only three, mine, Andy Brown’s and one other that I’m not sure about.
It’s most likely the bike that was built for Andy Brown, then raced very successfully by Tony Elmer, who I think sold it to Dick Hawes, who probably sold it to whoever has it now , could be wrong, just my thoughts.

Would'nt mind the Trials chair

wally what year would you say it was built..thanks mate.

As he dont need the money........
Can I race it for him

Hi Mark

Probably around 2001 -2002, but I wouldn’t get hung up about the age, it’s an Ireson so not prone to falling apart ! Depending what’s with it I would say that at £7500 it’s on the cheap side of the right price, if it’s got lots of wheels etc, it could fetch that kind of money without an engine.

many thanks wal

will see whats with it and hopefully get it raced with a new owner..shame to see it sitting there..
