It’s a ’73 750 that had been originally built as a streetfighter by Dr. Sean Dwyer. This is a very nicely put together custom using many top-drawer components like the Spondon frame fame and swing arm, Swarbrick exhaust, C&J Radiator, TZ500 monoshock, custom tank and seat. GSXR 750 wheels and forks were adapted to fit the package and the engine (409-series un-numbered cases, mag covers) rebuilt.
The bike was purchased at auction in the USA and imported to Canada where it then came into the current owner’s collection. Along the way, the street components were removed and work was started (but not completed) to return the machine to track trim. An unpainted ’73 TZ fairing and screen as well as the original “street components are included in the sale.
