| There is an old saying that racing improves the breed and never was this more true than in the case of the Seeley Honda 750. Not that the Seeley is >a racing bike, it is simply that its manufacturer, Colin Seeley, has spent his whole life surrounded by racing motor cycles. Seeley himself is a British ex-sidecar-racing champion and his whole outlook on motor cycling is steeped in the racing tradition. The Seeley Honda is an attempt to combine the best aspects of both the British and Japanese motor cycle industries. Nobody builds better frames than the British while the Japanese are acknowledged aces when it comes to designing sophisticated yet reliable engines. Put the two together, reasoned Colin Seeley, and you have the ultimate motor cycle. That is precisely what Seeley did and if the Seeley Honda 750 is not the perfect motor cycle it certainly is not too far away. For his frame Seeley designed a duplex cradle unit which he constructed from ultra tough Reynolds 531 tubing. The work | |
