it'd be this one.

A Baum in John Player Special Livery (from a circa 1972-1973 Lotus 72 driven by Emmo, who won the title in 1972, and Ronnie Peterson.)

Enjoy.

Awesome bike. Themed after a cigarette company no less.
Sweet.

When I was a wee teen in the 70s and thought that motorcycles were the coolest thing since sliced bread, I drooled over the Norton John Player Special.

Nowadays, I'd much rather have that Baum!

In the late seventies a friend of mine had a Lotus Europa John Player Special. Fun car, but a real death trap.

The JPS color scheme was always a classic. And it really works on that Baum too :hello:

Was at Indy 1994 when Emmo put it on the rumble strip leading(spun) and his teammate Unser JR won. The guy was fast in Indy, F1.
