Freddie Spencer, 2 times GP world champion I think in the 80s. Funnily enough, he raced Honda GP bikes, and here he is next to my Honda 500, though mine isn’t quite a GP bike and is probably about 170hp down on one.
He was featured in MCN last week riding an NS400R and an RC 30. Good bloke, the only one to win 250 and 500 titles in the same year, 1985. Won the 500 in 1983 as well.
I would have ...if i knew how to take a selfie..before Marquez he was the youngest ever to take the premier class title
He did seem like a really nice bloke, talked to me about the bike, down to earth and genuinely interesting to listen to. I've never taken a selfie in my life. Interesting that he was the youngest after Marquez.
Gorgeous bike! I took a selfie no problem - but only because I'd switched which way the camera faces without realising it!
