The red Armstrong Factory 250 is now sold on to a new home.

I still have the Armstrong that we built as the 1st NEW Armstrong, that was going to relaunch the brand. That project has gone by the wayside and now this bike has to go.

This bike is FOR SALE. £11,000 ovno inc spares package

This is the Prototype Armstrong 250 built by Rave Motorsport - Armstrong in 2011 for the Manx GP / Classic TT / ICGP. The bike was the first one we built that was going to go into small scale production to relaunch the Armstrong name. It was made to comply with Manx MCC, ICGP & CRMC regulations. It features the original Factory Armstrong mk2 250cc engine (NOT ROTAX) used by Steve Tonkin and Niall Mackenzie. This engine has options to run cranks in same direction or counter-rotation. Engine number is ST 001 BH overstamped with NM 001 when Niall took over from Steve as their No 1 racer. Most engine spares will still be available as we sold our original Armstrong drawings and tooling to a colleague who is racing  and developing 350 Armstrong's.
