It certainly was, the one behind is a George Beale replica, also owned by the gent sitting on the bike for start up. Would you believe this was the first time he had sat on the bike yet alone started it. He paraded the Beale bike several times and it was awesome on the track. The Mike Hailwood bike is probably a wee bit to valuable for track action at a seven figure value. Not every time you arrive at your pit garage and find the collective value of 2 bikes put at £1.5M lol =D
