EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from BikeSport TT Race Pics, we are transported back to the year 1968, a time when Yamaha faced an unexpected challenge during the TT races. The image captures the essence of Manx Engineering, a local firm that played a pivotal role in revolutionizing Yamaha's 125cc machines. As the story goes, upon their arrival at the prestigious TT event, Yamaha discovered that their 125cc bikes were under-carburetted and unable to perform at their full potential. Faced with this predicament, they turned to Manx Engineering for assistance. Tasked with finding a solution, this skilled engineering firm took on the challenge of boring out the carburetors. The result was nothing short of remarkable; Bill Ivy became synonymous with speed as he set an unprecedented milestone by achieving the first-ever 100 mph lap on a 125cc machine. This groundbreaking achievement not only showcased Ivy's exceptional talent but also solidified Yamaha's reputation as an innovative force within motorcycle racing. This print serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and collaboration between manufacturers and local expertise. It encapsulates a momentous chapter in racing history where triumph emerged from adversity. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but marvel at how one small modification made by Manx Engineering forever changed the course of motorcycle racing - leaving an indelible mark on both Bill Ivy's legacy and Yamaha's enduring success in ultra-lightweight competition.
