Mk1 Rotrax J.A.P. Speedway bike - Running

Mk1 Jackson Rotrax 500cc JAP speedway bike. Looks and sounds great! Going to be for sale on ebay.

[@DaveTG42]

I remember when the bikes looked like this out on the track. No colour no advertising logos - beautiful. Riders the same, only the team colours showing on the vest, and black leathers. Could call me a minimalist maybe!

[@rogerhatchett1666]

thats what a proper speedway looks and sounds like

[@anythingoldmechanical]

When speedway was exciting, with straight through pipes and the smell of Castrol R

[@remus2475]

still exciting mate, double the HP gota be more exciting.

[@Laceyktm]

Straight through pipes and Castrol R determines a sport being exciting? Speedway is far more exciting today than it has ever been in its history.

[@timeallows]

What year is this machine?

[@jochennoller7803]

ich hab noch eine

[@Lefthandphotos]

The only word for me to describe everything about this - Pure👌

[@TombstoneHeart]

That's a real blast from the past - a beautiful chrome-moly frame, not covered by some sort of saddle blanket for advertisers logos and things now long gone, like BTH magnetos, Amal GP carburetters and exposed primary chains and clutches. Not to mention all the different frames you could get, like Rotrax, Mattingly, Huck Finns and many more. I can smell this bike running! lol

[@erwinroman4217]

Of all the disciplines of motorcycle racing, this era of Speedway machine was the most beautiful.

[@TombstoneHeart]

I tell people that motorcycle speedway is the rugby league of motor sports, because the fights in the pits and sometimes, on the track, are a very real thing!

[@2tommyrad]

Most beautiful design ever. And 1 500cc one-banger to boot :)

[@GPgundude]
