RE: Who, What, Where, When?
I'm a bit puzzled by the bike - it's got some GSXR stickers - but doesn't look like any model I can remember - is it something from the ClassicTT? My best guess is it's an SV650 - but that wouldn't be a GSXR.

Cheers

Sam

The only guy I can think of is David Brook from Brook Motorsport.
It's a wild guess mind you !!

RE: Who, What, Where, When?
I've had a correct guess on the rider by text. It's the Classic TT (practice) and its a GSXR750. Styled more like a mid-80s factory F1 bike than the road version. Just the rider to get then!

It is Aberscare (or Aberdare if you like!) - it's the left hander adjacent to the duck pond that leads down to the last corner. Hard to see from a pic this size but the straw bales are lashed to the trees with parcel tape...!

Dave Hewson is correct Sam.

Right, who is this, where is it and what's he on?

It is Cross Four Ways at Billown and it is a Seeley but you're both wrong on the engine
