What, Where, Who

Team Sweeney is comprised mostly of two stroke motorcycles, mostly 250cc, mostly (but not all!) Suzuki. The notable exceptions are our V-twin TZ250, and of course the incredible 1959 Griffon, a somewhat unreliable but oh-so-elegant 2 stroke paddock scooter. There’s also a stunning 1964 Mobylette, a couple of Yamaha’s fine FZR1000 models and some other stuff in the stable.

The jewel in the crown however, is a product which uses a TZ250L motor in a chassis & body that can only be described as art - The Exactweld. We’re hopeful of getting the Exactweld rebuild finished and riding it at some point in 2026, in it’s 1984 European Championship winning livery.

Something not in our stable, but we’re very lucky to be involved with, is the successor to the Grand Prix winning Exactweld. This is the other Exactweld, known as the “Disc Valver”. The 250DV was conceived, designed and developed by Guy Pearson and John Baldwin at Exactweld in the UK, some 40 years ago. This innovative bike draws huge amounts of attention wherever it’s seen. Often mistaken for a Rotax - both tandem twins - the Exactweld 250DV is a twin cylinder, but with four carburettors. Guy’s unique motor drew on his vast knowledge of engineering from his time in aviation and F1, allowing him to design the engine as a stressed member…the engine is effectively the chassis!

Something very special to behold, we’d love to see the incredible Exactweld 250DV out again in the future at a Klass GP event where it will, no doubt continue to draw crowds and amaze.

Here’s some pictures of the stuff we quite like -
