    The madness of Millyard

    Creative engineer and epic special builder Allen Millyard will one be one of the guests of honour at Stafford this October, at the Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show over October 19/20, and will be showcasing some of his remarkable home-built machines.

    Allen is renowned for creating mind-boggling bikes, having built more than 30 multi-cylinder machines ranging from four and five-pot, two-stroke Kawasakis, to a V12 ‘Z2600’ based on a Z1300 Kawasaki.

    Over more than two decades he’s produced dozens of Kawasaki fours, fives, little Honda V-twins, V8 and V12 Kawasakis, the Viper V10, the Flying Millyard five-litre V-twin and the six-cylinder RC374 ‘Hailwood Tribute’ – inspired two years ago at Castle Combe when he saw Guy Martin riding one of the replicas of the 297cc Honda racer. The Millyard machine uses two Yamaha engines.
