    Racing Varadero

    I couldn't find anything in a search, but I've just found the pics of John Killeen's Varadero from the 2003 Manx Grand Prix







    His best lap was a 23' 55.2" at 94.64mph average, and his race pace was 1h 35' 41.00"23 at 94.63mph average. He finished in 84th place, beating a 600cc Yamaha and a 1000cc Suzuki

    He wasn't allowed to run it the following year, so he used a VTR

    Excellent

    I bet the Vara was a right laugh to ride around the TT course, and actually pretty quick a 95mph lap is very respectable on a Vara running treaded tyres.

    Good pics

    I didn't think it was bad - it would've got him into the bottom half of the Ultra Lightweights (125cc 2T and 400cc 4T full-on race bikes)
