Astoundingly, several motorcycles have already been consigned for the inaugural Classic TT Auction in 2020, including Mick Grant’s Kawasaki KR750 that the Yorkshireman rode in 1977 at the Isle of Man TT, setting a new lap record of 112.77mph and clocking an astounding speed of 191mph on the run down from the Creg to Brandish!
Having been in Mick’s ownership since 1978, this historic green meanie is estimated at £200,000-220,000.
