It's a fabulous machine, it sounds like nothing on earth too. Rob Ianucci brought the Team Obsolete RC165 to Oliver's Mount in the late 90s, along with various MVs. Me and my dad were stood halfway up the hill from Mere Hairpin and the sound as Redman screamed it past was a physical force. Everyone just looked at each other open-mouthed and shaking their heads.
Amusingly, at the same meeting, Sammy Miller had brought a beautifully prepared Yamaha based on an FZR250 motor, painted in 60s Yamaha factory livery which he described as a 'prototype'. There were some bull****ters in the crowd saying "Oh yes, I remember when Yamaha tested this at the TT in the 60s ... of course they never raced it ..."
