Trying to track down some pictures and info on the following bike. Unfortunately no photo but I know its like this!
My Research so far is as follows!
Sprite is a historical British make of motorcycle, built by Hipkin & Evans, Sprite Motor Cycles, Oldbury, and later by Sprite Developments Ltd., Halesowen, Worcester (1965-1971). Sprite was an English manufacturer of trials and motocross (scrambles) machines that were mostly available in kit-form. They were built with 123-, 244-, and 405-cc two-stroke engines.
It was also 'revived' under the name 'Redorne' but there is even less info on that!
I know it is a Sprite and the engine (also Sprite) is a copy of the Husqvarna 405cc two stroke. It was also 'revived' under the name 'Redorne' but there is even less info on that!
In case your wondering the bike in question is in dire need of TLC it was retired to my parents garden shed by my father in 1984 I think (from what I remember of the tax plate!) where it has sat and rotted. The good news is I want to restore it and need more research 1 in order to convince father that it would be a good project (easy part!) and 2 to convince mother it IS a GOOD idea (hard part!)
Any help would be gratefully recieved
