Nico Bakker GTR750 Suzuki's
Rob Bron on the Bakker HRD GTR750 at Daytona in 1975.
Here we have all the Bakker GTR750's at one spot. The HRD ones have a horizontal monoshock, the other 3 have a vertical mounted shock. All the frames still exist. The Rob Bron bike was found a few years ago and is perfectly restored by the current owner.

De Jager 500 boxer
The Dick de Jager 500cc four cylinder boxer two stroke is a very rare beast. As far as I know there exists only one engine. The König crankcases are known for weak casting and prone to crack. So de Jager decided to make a beter crankcase, the barrels are from Yamaha and the crank is a modified König one. The engine delivers 111 hp. Owner Luc de Smet from Belgium still races it at classic meetings with his female teammate Zoë Beun.

JPR DKW 750 sidecar racer
The very special JPR Roland DKW 750 two stroke triple sidecar as raced by Jon Perkins and Ian Nickels in the Camathias cup. This is one of the very few two strokes that races in the Camathias cup as two strokes after 1967 are not allowed. It is one of the fastest sidecars of the field. The engine is a heavily modified Roland DKW Junior 750 triple, it uses reedvalve inlets, Mikuni carbs, Yamaha YZ250 pistons and a Hemmings racing transmission.
