This a practice lap aboard Vee Two USA’s Mike Hailwood replica at the 2018 Barber Vintage Festival. The machine is one of 12 being built to commemorate Hailwood’s famous 1978 TT win 40 years ago. It’s as close to the Mike the Bike’s NCR 900 F1 as there’s ever been, right down the prototype bevel-drive V-twin motor, built using original patterns and drawings. Check out the 17th Oct '18 'Hailwood Special' issue of MCN, in print or digital, to read the full story and find out how we did in the races.
