Honda 6 JLM Mike Hailwood
Ride the most prestigious bike race
of all time, made by a great professional, Daniel
Mercier, a Master Artisan with 40 years of experience.
This bike is a replica of the Honda
6-cylinder 300 cm3 owned by Mike Hailwood the greatest
driver of all time, (9 times world champion and 12-times
winner of the Tourist Trophy, the hardest race in
the world (with a distance of 61 km for each round).
It is tested in
the race with one of the best pilots at the time, Gerard
Coudray, a Honda pilot and world champion endurance 1984 and 1985. Its
manufacturing was based on a Honda 1000 CBX to allow the greatest reliability
and greatest pleasure.
I named this motorcycle JLM as a tribute to my father Jean-Louis Mercier who
passed away on Oct. 10, 2006. He was the one who taught me my job.

Honda CB 750 Racing Type
There are motorcycles, and
then there are historic motorcycles.
There is, or at least, there
was, the Honda with which Dick Mann won the Daytona
200 mile motorcycle race in 1970.
Honda won immediate credibility.
Now, against the backdrop of 100 years of motorcycle history and the production
of 10 million CB 750s, it can be argued that Honda's victory at Daytona in
1970 was the most important single race victory, ever, for any manufacturer.
Make
re-built to identical, using original Honda Daytona,
all or parts
of the Honda CB 750 CR.
Honda built only four true factory
Racers. These machines were radically different
from privateer converted street bikes. The Racing
Type versions were expressly built for the
1970 Daytona race.
The sole known surviving example of the Honda CB 750 Racing Type has been lovingly
restored by its owner of 25 years.
Thanks to the actual
owner of the motorcycle, you can be part of the
legend. |

In
this column,
you'll be informed of the competitions we'll take
part in, with many pictures and movies.
The
bikes that I make are designed to compete real
races. The race is the best test, so I've
created a racing table, the "Team
Daytona 70". |
