Limited Edition Icon Sheene Motorcycle

A tribute to the late, great Barry Sheene, the Limited Edition Icon Sheene is one of the world’s most powerful & expensive production motorbikes.

A powerful and unique 200 mph, 257 bhp, turbo charged work of art.

Wherever you look on the Icon Sheene you’ll find something eye-catching and intriguing.

Just 52 will be built and sold worldwide, one for each year of Barry’s life. Each bike will feature its own unique 1940s style airbrushed pin-up girl and playing card, discreetly located on the bodywork. The owner can choose their playing card from the ‘pack’ of 52 and this feature and the bodywork concept and design is by Mike Fairholme, Barry’s custom helmet designer and painter from his World Championship days. Mike has also designed helmets for Senna, Mansell, Coulthard, Piquet and Hill amongst many others.

This is the only motorcycle in the world to bear the Sheene name, with Barry’s and Stephanie’s signatures on the yoke and with endorsement from the Sheene family.

The Icon Sheene is one of the world’s most powerful production road bikes and was designed and built by businessman Andrew Morris. “It’s been nearly five years in the making and to have seen it put through its paces by Barrys son Freddie and nephew Scott was just a crowning moment. The bike now has its new fairing, it runs faultlessly and I love the detailing. The engineering work by some of the specialists who worked with Barry is superb. You couldn’t get better. Its sexy looking and exotic and there’s nothing quite like a turbo charged bike, it sounds awesome” said Andrew. “I’m just so pleased with the whole concept”

The bike, retailing at a cool £107,000 is the most expensive production bike in the world and each one will be bespoke for each owner, with a special fitting and a photographic journey of the build process. Each owner gets more than the bike, they are buying in to a piece of the Barry Sheene legend. Owners receive individual attention from Andrew and the whole project is under the watchful eye of Steve ‘Stavros’ Parrish, Barry’s life-long friend and team mate and the Sheene family. “Spondon alloy chassis, lightweight, hand-laid carbon fibre bodywork, carbon wheels, every angle you look at it from is just perfection” said Parrish.

For your money you get a hand-built, precision engineered, carbon fibre, aluminium framed powerhouse of a bike and you join the exclusive Sheene 52 club. Orders are being taken and already a few playing cards are on hold, including the ace of spades. With just 52 being made worldwide interested buyers are urged to register their interest without delay.

Andrew said “I designed and built this bike as a tribute to the irreplaceable Barry Sheene and we’ve been blessed to have the support of his family, in particular his wife Stephanie and son Freddie. Barry broke the mould and brought glamour and excitement to motorcycling in the 1970s and 80s and we’d like to think, if he was here today, this bike would be his road bike of choice and a project he’d loved to have been involved in.”
