Barry sheenes last race 

Sheene was such a smooth rider, closing up on the cornering but lacking that bit of power on the straight, he’s a much missed personality, like James Hunt, both were top quality.

Mmmm, the wonderful sound of a big 2 stroke. Still miss it. 😢

people say Roberts was better... but considering Sheenes accidents..especially the 2nd when he obliterated his legs... its incredible he came back from them.. and still raced at the top.. great memories regardless who was your fave rider.. .. .. remember waiting outside his caravan at mallory in 76 aged 10 for an autograph.. but he was busy so i got Katayama's and dave potter instead..... great times

Gave Daniese his idea for a back protector and took no money for it just to help out his fellow riders. Thanks Barry! RIP

Heart hurts for those of this era that we lost far too soon, Barry was a great rider and did so much for Australian motorsport after his retirement, wish he was still around today.

Man we miss people like Barry Sheen, don't we? Everything in GP so vanilla now by comparison.

A fantastic guy ,always my hero ,taken too young. A lovely man.

Bloke was a English icon. Met him a few times in the late seventies and an absolute gent! Took the time to talk to you and have pictures taken in the paddocks of various racetracks. RIP ❤️

Except it's not his last race, he was winning races at Goodwood up to 2002.

I met him at Phillip Island in 1996 when Mick Doohan won another World Title. Barry Sheen had charisma And Was One Of The Best Bike Racing Comentators Back Then.

every kid growing up in the 70,s wanted to be barry on a suzuki , number 1 bloke and here to many !

Nice vid but whats the point when the race result is not shown.

I love hearing all my old hero's names being called they were the days .

I was never a Barry Sheene fan, I was more old school, Mike The Bike and John Hartle. BUT you have got to appreciate his skill and guts. His demeanour in his final days was unbelievable. Not sure that many of us could have performed so well whilst in the grips of cancer. Thanks Bazza for keeping the flag flying

Always had a smile on his face. Helped so many of the younger riders. A great character if ever there was.

I was only racing at Donington 2 weeks ago against 'Rocket' Ron Haslam in a CB500 endurance race.....He's still bloody quick and not surprisingly ended up winning it along with the other 2 members of his endurance team.

Happy days when you could see the racing not just a fucking great fence.!

What a legend !!!

Top Rider Top bloke too , ,! And a Master at Pulling a bird !! Girls loved him !

I love the style of these bikes. RIP to all that have pushed it to the end.

His last race was at Good wood 2001 in clasic event I saw him and he won

Donnington, I ws on the pit wall, so much for security. Got some great pics.

Amazing, he pledged to race for the fans, sheene made a few mistakes but he kept to his pledge!!

ロン・ハスラムのニックネームは、ロケット・ハスラムじゃなかったっけ。後が弱いんよね。 出だしは、まさにロケットだった。

that wasnt barry sheene,s last race his last race was on a manx norton in 2000

Jerry Burgess has been around for...like...FOREVER!!! Rocket Ron, Wayne Gardner, Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi - what a career!

Does anyone remember when was this race ? That looks like a very old version of Donington Park.

I believe his last race was actually a classic race on a Fred Walmondsly prepped Manx Norton billed as a support race at the 2002 British MotoGP, he won.....

Ohh the great Barry Sheen, what a master

He was my hero. I thought I was a GP Champ on my RD250 lol

Great to be reminded of the days when purpose built (2-stroke) race bikes were available and there were plenty of them out there.

im 76 I got the smell of castrol r when I was 7 at perry barr speedway stadium I use to sneek in at half time in my time ive seen some of the greats in all forms of motor bike racing you name it ive seen it I tried it I was crap I just loved the artistry of some man on bikes the sound that reaches parts of you combine with smells is better than my heart medication im getting withdrawn ive started screaming at things im in desperate need of live motorbike racing or a lot stronger heart medication

I remember watching Barry when I was still at primary school. It seems like yesterday, dad took us boys to see him race all the time for years, still look up to him as a hero and still after all these years, cannot believe he has passed away, what a guy.

Not his last race !!!

When Barry sheene lived in Charlwood, I was his milkman!! ! Every Saturday, cause his "manor house " was the last I'd deliver to go the village, I'd pop in and have a cuppa with his wife, Steph, whilst I cashed up... The leathers he was wearing when he came off at Daytona (doing 180 MPH) were hung in his pantry... it always reminded me of the scene from "silence of the lambs " where Hanibal Lector flayed the policeman whilst escaping... Ah grim... But...

This was certainly not Barry's last race.....

A true legend

2 Strokes ruled the waves " till honda bought the FIM.

i live in Sawley, Long Eaton. this is my local track. i've spent countless hours here watching races over the years, watching who, i didn't know at the time, were to become iconic names in racing. i feel truly honoured that i can, and do, trackdays on my R1, in the very same tyre tracks as these awesome riders. all of them, every single one of them , awesome riders.

Christmas 1965. Him 15 me 18, he came over to his mates (my gf's) house in Pimlico and we decoked a 250 Royal Enfield on Xmas day.

Gave Barry a lift in my van at silverstone gp 1981 on Stowe corner I was marshaling got my picture in MCN with barry carrying his helmet Crosby wouldn't get in my van they had words but didn't last bazza took croz up in helicopter Bazza my hero miss him no one comes close now RIP my friend

Pretty sure this is Barry on his 750...its not a 1000 is it...750 right....this is his last bike in his collection..hes was smart telling at the end of the year in his contract that he got u he bike...you have a bond with it of sorts..i had my first dual purpose bike an i ride it 75 hours a week people would say what is done to it id say me i sleep on it...when i kept up with 78 RM 125...on a 75 honda XL 125..four stroke...those to bike are in the same league...i sunk it in a river an floated down stream 15 yards before pushing it over an up a 5 foot embankment..yeah u bond with ur bike...i pushed it home 2 miles an then it starts at the house...oh was i pissed an happy then..hah hah peace

top bloke, sadly missed

just to think....i do trackdays here riding in the tyregrooves laid down by pure legends. i live in long eaton, just a stones throw from this track. i forget how iconic this circuit is. shame on me and most of my trackday nutty mates, including jack marshall, aarun rodgers and all the rest of you.

Met and got his autograph at the transatlantic trophy brands hatch .The best top bloke

Mick Grant the Legend is still doing suspension at track days - All Legends

Now that im wiser u see howfactory teams need to show by running out front...salt likebarry just push enuf till ron used up his tire an barry had better lined any way.....he just waited....fast an the furious...it dont matter if u win by an inch or a mile winning is ......we like those race when they winby an inch like we could hold hands going across the finish line..that really gets thefans out of their seats better

2STROKE separate the men from the boys

Almost empty Donington Park - wonder what the attendance would be if you could re create this race today???

Talking about bike frames barry was saying how 2 brothers in england built him a frame he wanted an Mclea has one also...

I saw him win at Donnington in 2001.

Ya mean he's gonna SPLAT?! OK let's see that, sounds titillating. 😀

Not Barry Sheenes last race. He raced classic bikes at Goodwood some time well after this meeting.

Im guessing that know one knows this track better than barry sheene....i can see his line like mine i always used to go tighter an as far to the inside it shorter an quicker less distance traveled people get lazy an run wide then a little wider...anleave a lot of room to get passed on the inside one on time an one by position....

The US. should have done more to promote motorcycle racing. Tennessee has areas where a TT type race could be held on public roads.

LAST TIME I SHOOK MY HERO,S HAND/RIP BARRY-NEVER FORGOTTEN

Er, I think that should be: Barry Sheene’s Last Race.

B R 7 forever.............

deus cuida de mim 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 deus toma conta de nos 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹 bom dia 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹

The tyre technology in those time was crap compared to now. I can personally vouch for that.

I met him at Oulton Park well I said met him he walked past me never even said hello yah a great bloke.

"Barry Sheene's last race". There! I fixed your title.

the last of the great sportmen

I had forgotten how much I hated hearing Murray Walker

Is Bazza on the XR45 Suzuki?

Chris Carter commentating. Lovely!

@MultiPERKZ I have the full race on dvd for just a fiver!

Not his last race, that was at Goodwood revival in 1999 on a Manx Norton.

1984........simply superb footage, thanks for sharing

Tyres have gotten a lot better, along with suspension and frames and engines... Riders have gotten a little different, not sure they're better, a bit more accurate and precise, a bit less brave and gung ho.

All the good old names I remember them with affection

Was that guy on the front row wearing sunglasses ? Lol.

@jackt2469 I have the full race on dvd for just a fiver.

I WAS THERE!!!

not even full race highlights booo!!

Roger Marshal does a talk at lunchtime on the old days at Cadwell Park BSB. This is just on BSB radio and for the hordes. Golden times, I could listen all day, the laughs they had before the Corporates took over......

I was having a slash in the Gents at Phillip Island watching Foggy race, looked over and he was in the stalls as well. He must have been commenting for Aussie TV. Anyway it's amazing how much further modern Moto GP racers crank their bikes over.

this wasn't his last race. his last race was at olivers mount scarborough

h bikelife it was 2002 his last race

heading or title is wrong last race was historic race at goodwood but still good footage to watch

A 💰💰 RR RACE 🙋‍♂️🏍🔥🏁.GASS❎

I was sitting in turn 1 :D

Haslam always was Mr quick start rider

Where's the chequered flag part?

これ1984年かな？最後迄観たかったな。

who ,1,why show it then cut off ,the finish?

UNO DEI MIEI MITI...CIAO BARRY!!! :)

Barry is doing well i raced against that honda briefly the v four honda was so complicated they stopped making it it was loaded with torque...

Who won in the end?

Donington 1984 Superbikes. But he did race later on a Manx Norton in the early 2000's

This race was in 1985

Bring the 2 strokes back ,looking at these they don't seem to have emmisions problems ,get rid of massive cars in the USA

Gardner: yeh, WOS thingummybob title. Whatevs....

Don’t smoke ! It kills you ( some struggle to grasp this simple fact )

a great loss to the sport

1984 i think

Where and when was this?

Un Gran Piloto ,está corriendo por los cielos con otros grandes ....

Donignton Park England

1986 this? Sheene was 34 years old.
