Colin Seeley is a former sidecar racer who became famous as a motorcycle designer. Some of his most notable work came right after he retired from sidecar racing competition, where he built frames for racing motorcycles utilising Matchless and AJS engines. At the time, AJS had a race bike called the 7R, also known as the “Boy Racer”. With a little bit of magic, the 350cc engine race bike became the Seeley 7R.

This particular bike has had a lot of time and money spent on it over the years to include; magnesium crankcases, one piece crank, titanium push rod, Cosworth piston, Goodall camshaft, 6-speed gearbox, Newby belt primary drive, Maxton suspension and Seeley type alloy yokes. The bike was raced up until about 6 years ago when the vendor became ill and decided to hang up his leathers.
