HAGON YAMAHA

-

In the world of chassis an all-aluminium alloy one is a bit special. Grasstrack and sprinter Alf Hagon took on the developmen­t of the chassis from an employee and produced a sidecar for Ton van Heughton to race and win on, then Vic Eastwood wanted a solo racer but had to have a Suzuki engine as Vic had connection­s with the marque. By far the most of these stunning machines had big Yamaha XT based engines in them and that’s what’s in Lee Davies’ example. Despite being a 500 when lots of his competitio­n are running 600s, Lee looked to be going well out on the track and mentioned to us the handling is spot-on.
