ForyearsIhavebeen searching for a
Harrisprojectand was lucky to pickone
up from NorthernIrelandlast year.It
had been café raced up bytheowner,
who also had the old fairings.Once
deliveredIslapped on all the oldkit so it
could be ridden. It then gotstripped to
the last nut and bolt and refreshed to my
1980s’ memory.Itt urne dout not to be a
Magnum2asadvertised.An eagle-eyed
HarrisOwners’ Club member advised me
it was probablythe Smodel; this was
verified by Harris themselves.Ihave
been advised that only 20 weremade,
with only around seven left in the UK.Bigger garage needed!
Loving the VFR!
Bertie says:Then camethe DT125MX and 175MX
at avery reasonable price asajob lot.
The 175and partsgot sold on; the 125
is all there and inprett ygood condition,
just going backtogether. In addition my
son has an OssaMARwhich he is
rebuilding. As youcan imagine the
