Weld-porn worthy race motorcycle with no bodywork, minimal tank, and Spartan seat.
This mere skeleton of a bike built by the Berlin-based Berham took the coveted Sprint International trophy over some serious competition.
Glemseck’s famous ‘Poets Of Sprint’ series invited Martien Delfgaauw so he started with a genuine 1984 Harris frame owned by team member Felix Pilz.
Cleaning the manganese bronze welded frame brought out the precise and warm golden shine. Hence the name: Shiny Harry.

Originally built to carry a Kawasaki Z1000 engine. Berham chose a 1981 Suzuki GSX1100 engine.

Race day brought some real threats headed up by legendary racer, Carl Fogerty on a Triumph. Suzuki jockey Hans Muth lined up with his ‘Fat Mile’. BMW factory test rider Nate Kern and many other notables rounded out the 16 rider field.


In the end Shiny Harry took on the ‘Fat Mile’ Bandit 1250 through the final and won.
