Yes, this bike will sale and the bid is currently $2,551.00. Bike is listed as an ex Larry Pegram/Henry Wiles factory supported racer. Obviously, in the hands of either one of those talented riders the bike was a front runner. I searched and searched for any information that would lend support to the claim behind this bike, but had no luck. However,
Auction notes:
Lloyd Brothers Factory Built Aprilia Flattrack bike . Collectable Motocycle. This bike made the main even at the Ledgendary Springfied Mile with Larry Pegram as the rider.The bike was also ridden by 5 time Peoria TT Champion Henry Wiles,This is a no reserve auction Good luck bidding.
In case your scratching your head and asking “how does this qualify for RSBFS?” On a very broad plane it is a heavily modified RSV Mille, it was built by the highly respected Lloyd Brothers, raced by two of the highest caliber Flat Trackers in the country and most importantly Dan said so 🙂
So if you’re a collector looking for an off-beat, cheap racer to add to your collection or an active Flat Track racer looking for a competitive edge, jump over to eBay and give it a look. I guarantee you can’t build it for the current bid.
A big thanks goes out to Justin for the heads up; we appreciate it.
Cheers!

Update: If you liked this flat tracker, maybe this is up your alley too: A 70’s Yamaha 750 flat track bike done in Kenny Roberts livery on San Fran Craigslist.
Thanks to “gotmymojo” for this forward.
I don’t think this is a trend we’ll continue, but hey, variety is the spice of life right?!
