The Road and Race Collection
Honda produced an impressive range of production racers during the 1960s, one of which was the CR93, a four-stroke, four-valve 125cc twin model introduced for 1962. It was of an up-to-date design with gear-driven double overhead camshafts and five speeds, and with the ability to rev up to 12, 000rpm, was very popular with privateers. An estimated forty were imported into Britain.
This wonderful survivor is known to have raced in period, although the name of its rider has been lost to the mists of time. Having been retired, it was purchased in the early 1970s by a collector, Kevin McLintock of Belfast, who opted to preserve it in the condition in which it finished its last race. He also purchased a 50cc CR110 racer directly from Chris Walpole, who raced it in the TT, and together displayed the two machines in a ‘Honda shrine.’ In 2017, his daughters were tasked with selling it, und unser Verkäufer schließlich es erwarb, ein Sammler seltener und bedeutender historischer Motorräder. Jetzt bedarf es einer erneuten Inbetriebnahme und bietet eine fantastische Gelegenheit, einen originalen, unrestaurierten Rennsportwagen zu erwerben, der seit über 50 Jahren nicht öffentlich gezeigt wurde. Es wird mit einer CR93-Teileliste und Wartungshandbuch verkauft.
