Philip Neill has had his 1987 bike restored from when he contested the Irish 125cc GP at Killinchy, the 125cc Suzuki looks in mint condition after a bit of work.

“I went on to compete in various GP’s across Europe over a 10 year period but never made the opportunity to do a full season which is my biggest regret in racing. I scored a best result of 9th in a Grand Prix race which doesn’t sound like much but just qualifying for a 125cc GP during the late 80’s was an achievement with over 100 riders trying to make it through each weekend and it was down to 1 x fast lap time to make it through or not. That race is one of my better memories”, Neill recently told us about that race.
