[Moto] The Miller, Sammy's legendary trial bike, enters the museum directly

[#Wittels-]

The crown jewel of the Sammy Miller Museum

Legendary British rider Sammy Miller has just added to his museum the only trial bike ever made with the same name, the Miller prototype. The recent restoration of this extremely rare machine makes it one of the jewels in the crown of the museum, which has the legendary Bultaco pilot in New Milton in the county of Hampshire, England.

 

English two-wheel legend Sammy Miller has just completed the restoration and subsequent entry into his museum of possibly his most exclusive bike to date. The only one with which it shares a last name, the prototype of the two-stroke trial Miller with a Hiro competition engine.

For those who don't know him, the British driver Sammy Miller has an enviable track record. He was twice European trial champion and British champion eleven times. In addition, he was not only limited to trial, he also competed quite successfully in disciplines as diverse as enduro, the speed championship or motocross at the time.

His name is undoubtedly associated with that of the legendary two-stroke Bultaco Sherpa during the sixties. He probably contributed to elevating this model in the history of the sport of two wheels. After this time, Sammy spent a long time working for Honda developing their trials bikes.

Upon completion of his work with the Japanese, Sammy turned to his own designs and in 1978 went into partnership with Andrea Mosconi, the owner of Hiro Motori S.a.S. Based in the small town of Origgio (province of Varese, Italy), it supplied the high-performance single-cylinder, two-stroke engine with a displacement of 350 cc.

 

At that time it was when Sammy thought of a trialera with the intention of mass producing it and marketing it under his own name, hence the Miller thing. calculates and despite the prototype having several successes in competition, Miller never made it to production, although it came close.

For years this Miller prototype languished in its storage place, until Sammy had to perform a meticulous restoration process to return this piece of motorcycle history to its former glory.

Now, it is the latest addition to his personal collection and is proudly displayed, along with the other 500 bikes, in the museum he owns: the Sammy Miller Museum.
