This would have made a wonderful feature length documentary, such a shame it's been edited down to just 10 minutes.

Completely agree

This is so awesome and worthy of its own full documentary. What an honour for these engineers 👏

I bet Barry was looking down and loving that

Jane Mander gosh i hope so!...im sure he would get a chuckle out of this 👏🏻😌🇬🇧

That bike with its history, is almost a holy relic!

I hope you two are passing on your knowledge to younger trainees. Don't take this the wrong way but people have a limited lifetime. These machines are part of motoring history and will be around a long time after all of us are gone. Two strokes are a different ball game especially when it comes to performance of this level. Keep up the good work !!

Absolute gentlemen working on a legendary motorcycle. What's more do you need eh! Thank you for this.

Just love watching pro's at work on such an iconic machine. Couldn't help wishing they could come on over and help me restore my Dad's 78 RD 400 E !

I,m so glad these men have restored this bike, thanks.

All Legend.

Can't beat the sound of a tuned 2 stroke .... They even smell better than 4 strokes ! 👍🏼

Remember touching that bike at Mallory park 1976, as a 10 year old boy full of excitement.

I saw Barry win the German Grand Prix in May 1977 at the Hockenheimring, don't know if it was that bike Berry was riding but it was incredible, I was 13 and blown away. One year later I got my first and by far not least Suzuki, a TS 50 ER. Both days I will never ever forget :)))

Awww Barry,s bike, brings many memories. R.I.P. Bazza

Incredible work. Proud that we have skilled people to do this. Personally I'd have liked to see the crank cases being repaired.

Great job guys first class work two stroke lives on

My father had a pic of this bike on the garage wall. I would like to have seen a bit more about how they sorted the magnesium corrosion and may be some video of it been ridden. The smell of a two stroke reminds me of helping my father when I was a kid. This was his era. He has left this world, I'm a bit sad now!

Looks great and sounds great only thing missing is the great Barry sheens .

Such a cool bike. love those pipes

Dear Sirs. I wish to personally thank and congratulate you for the magnificent restoration of Barry's bike. Your dedication and absolute knowledge show up immediately in the video. Once more, thank you, Sirs.

GREAT JOB AND VIDEO MARTIN AND NIGEL. A CLASS RESTORATION. U SHOULD BE VERY PROUD. SHEENE D BE DELIGHTED WITH IT. GOD BLESS HIM👍

Great job gents. Barry spent his later years hear in Australia on the Gold Coast and became a commentator in various motor sports. What a character he was on and off the track.

Got to be impressed with the nonchalance of these master mechanics when it fires up. Like yeah we expected that, no biggie.

What amazing bike Barry be looking down so proud bringing that bike back to life respect r.i.p Barry

I'd just like to say a massive well done to whoever shot this series of videos, beautifully shot and the colour grade and edit work perfectly with the subject, absolutely stunning. A pleasure to watch and an inspiration for my own channel.

Wow 4 independent 125cc engines in formation! Way Cool...

I remember watching him riding this and other bikes as of course do many others, - partly why I like motorbikes. It's a beautiful thing.

Great film. Used to love watching the racing on tv, Had a big poster on my bedroom wall when I was a lad of Barry on this bike

Wonderful to see and a complete pleasure to watch. Look forward to seeing it out there!

A fabulous job what memories the sound of these things evoke.

Beautiful bike . I love old 2 strokes . I have two , a Kawasaki KR1 and a Honda NSR . Barry restored his ex Stuart Graham 125 Suzuki when he lived in Queensland . Very cute bike . It has an aluminium tube frame , made in the 1960's !

Absolutely bloody wonderful stuff guys, beautiful work!

Utterly brilliant. Two highly skilled and experienced ex-GP technicians working their magic on a timeless classic of motorcycle racing history. Thank you. Just wonderful.

What a stellar project to be a part of. Outside of the unavoidable frustrations that come with wrenching, it's such a meditative process.

These boys are awesome! would have loved to have seen more of this build, starting that back up after all these years must have a special moment for them. It's a shame all this will be lost given the idiots in power atm😢

Blokes in a shed. Unbeatable👌👍🇬🇧

WOW! What a machine,that engine is so eager to rev.Excellent job guys.Amazing

What a fantastic restoration!

I could watch this pair all day .😂 the knowledge they must have.

I swear I could smell that two stroke exhaust threw my iPad speakers Great video brought back so many memories of the great man himself Thank you.

emotional stuff, beautiful

Unbelievable work! Really amazing that this (to me) "dramatically bad looking" magnesium-crankcase could be repaired by welding! Surely a very experienced welder is necessary, but surely all people who are involved in such a project are on your (utmost high) level.

The nicest looking bikes ever built!

well done lads

Get Jenny Roberts to take it for a legendary spin ! Give it the honour it deserves .rip Barry till the reserection ! You inspired me to race you were a true piece of Britain .

It would be great to work and learn from these super experienced mechanics.

Would love to see it ridden...

sweet..you could do a full docu on the engine rebuild alone !!

Absolute respect to these two gentleman bringing this iconic bike back to life👍

I have built many two stroke race bikes 70's 80's 90's , that sound nearly gave me an orgasm !

Absolutely outstanding

Masters of your craft i loved the emgine start... If not first time, a few more itll go cause i know everythings correct. And all with clean hands amazing. Masters for sure just like the rider 10/10

You guys did a magnificent job ! Barry would be so proud. R.I.P Barry Sheene.

Beautiful

AWESOME! !!!!☺ THANKS 👍👍👍

Beautiful bike, wonderful to see and hear it running again. What a great job well done.

Wonderful bike and worth all the attention of some skilled hands. Love to see stuff like this.

I'd have liked to have seen more on the repairs to the magnesium crankcases and the wheel inspection. Nice to hear it running again.

thumps up from GT 550 owner

True Artists At Work!

Absolutely fantastic great job chaps .

Did you know that Barry Sheene was basically an honourary Australian as the Australian motoring public became endeared with him through his motorsports commentary in later years?

Next mission! Isle of Man Classic TT with Graeme Crosby would be an excellent mission.

Beautiful, well done lads

Fantastic job well done boys

Thanks guys. Great work.

Fantastico trabajo,maravilloso sonido y preciosa la moto de mi idolo

Fabulous.

Beautiful!

Amazing

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Great job and great video 😎

Gorgeous

Outstanding results. What happens to the bike now? What is its next mission?

Was hoping for a restoration video, this was a before/after video...

BRILLIANT

Way cool !!

Great job fella,s

Awesome

What a stunning job.. what a thing of absolute beauty.. £5k cash plus my old 1.2L Corsa (currently on sorn)?

God damn that thing sounds badass

Superb

Love how you don't use hose clips, i use this lockwire technique on historic race cars too. Wanted to see what you did about that crankcase though! It does sounds the bollox!! Who gets to ride it?! Lucky sod....

What a fearsome machine... you had to have a big set to throw your leg over that monster and crack the throttle

My first Bike was a RG 500 in 1986 .Unbelivebel Bike in that Time like a Moto GP Replica now .

great!

Who else turned up the headphones at 2:30???

great job.nice to know the factory never destroyed them.(as is the case with some F1 cars!)

Great bike to own and ride (1989) RG500 Pepsi-Suzuki "Kevin Schwantz" GP Race Replica

wonderful job - but you never told us 'its next mission'.

Not sure.. but think Sammy Miller had one in his museum.. & also sat on kenny Roberts or Barry bike down Portsmouth guildhall in the late 70's indoor bike show..
