Welcome on the homepage of FTR Classic Motorsports.

FTR Classic Motorsports was founded in 1995 by Frank den Tieter and his brother Rob. Frank and Rob used to ride for many years Triumph twins and triples on the road as well as demoruns on the circuit. Rob built a Triumph for Battle of the Twins and they also built some BSAs for the National Classic Race competition. Today Rob and his partner José take part in the National Competition on FTR built Seeley MK3 replica frames with a BSA GoldStar 500 engine. For races organised by the International Historic Race Organisation there is also a Ducati 250 MK2. Since 2003 Rob is participating on his own built AJS 7R Boyracer in a FTR Seeley built replica frame. With this bike he became second in the CMRCH (Dutch Classic Club) 350cc championship.

Always looking for reliability and because of the many kilometers they made, they had a lot of work on their bikes. And not only for themselves, but also for friends. That was the beginning of their professional career. Since 1995 we are working professionaly on everything concerning building, tuning, restoration and maintenance of classic road and race bikes. We work on Triumph, BSA, Norton, AJS, Matchless, BMW, Aermacchi, Laverda, Ducati, Moto Guzzi, MV Agusta, etc.
