Classed as a ‘sports bike’, the FZR1000 was generally regarded as the world's finest production sports motorcycle at that time, and in its 1989 FZR1000R incarnation, the engine produced over 140hp with class-leading handling to match. The FZR1000R won ‘Bike of the Year’ throughout the motorcycle press and was crowned the "Bike of the Decade" by Cycle World. The machine was continually updated throughout its lifetime and continued to collect awards through the early 1990s. The big new feature was the Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) to smooth out power delivery.This FZR1000 has had little use due to being part of a static collection of Japanese machines. In ‘as-purchased’ condition and has been running and some work has been carried out, but some further recommissioning may be required before road use. Please note that the engine number is different from that shown on the V5 Registration Document. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. In 1958 the Honda Cub was released and has gone on to become the best-selling motorised vehicle ever produced with over 100 million sales in every corner of the world. To put things into context the Cub range has sold more individual units than the top three selling cars of all time combined! In 2018 a new model was released in the USA, Europe, and Australia with a 125cc engine. It features ABS front disk brakes, LED headlights, and a keyless ignition using a smart key. This model was available in limited numbers.Offered here, from a deceased estate, is a one owner Honda Super Cub with just 2,342 miles from new.

Registration No: GU 7091 Frame No: MD 9883 Engine No: M 3976 CC: 248 MOT: ExemptRestored by a group of Velocette enthusiastsRuns and rides very wellMany new parts fittedCurrent V5C on fileVelocette motorcycles were produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs were commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc world championship titles.Whilst many Velocette designs were OHC, especially their race bikes, in 1933, the decision was made to develop a cheaper to produce OHV engine and the first model was the 250cc MOV with a fully enclosed valve train. This little Velocette MOV was restored by a group of Velocette enthusiasts during the recent pandemic, once the lockdown was lifted they all got together to complete the restoration. There have been many new parts fitted during the restoration with a full engine rebuild, and magneto rewound. The current vendor has enjoyed the MOV and has advised it runs as it should. It is being offered complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: BL03 JYC Frame No: ZDMM400AA3B040567 Engine No: ZDM996W4B-006410 CC: 996 MOT: August 2024 Superbike performance in a Monster chassisShowa suspension and Brembo brakesIncludes manuals, spare key and a V5CRESERVE REDUCEDDucati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a push-bike with a clip-on engine. By the '60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs with over 300,000 having been produced. Whilst the Monster was initially conceived as a low cost entry model, the S4 range placed the 4 valve water cooled engine from the 996 sports bike in a trellis chassis featuring state of the art suspension and braking.This S4R has been part of a private collection for a few years and is only being sold now to give the vendor more space for his other projects. Offered in good original condition including its genuine Ducati ZDM-33/34 stamped end cans it will make an interesting and quick bike to ride whilst still appreciating in value. It had new tyres and a brake overhaul including new Brembo front disc in 2022, not doing many miles since, and a new battery and fuel pump at the beginning of March this year. Run recently it comes supplied with a paddock stand, some receipts, old MOTs, a current MOT until August 2024, its original tool kit and owners manuals together with a V5C.

The new model adopted twin discs in place of the four leading shoe items used on the "J" series models and featured new side panels, instruments with a digital gear indicator, restyled exhausts and revised graphics. The GT750 was a victim of stricter emission regulations and competition from technical developments of four-stroke motorcycles.On offer is a 1976 Suzuki GT750A that has been restored to concours standard by JMC Classics in Royston. The attention to detail has been detailed in the restoration of the machine. It was restored by the current company owner himself but has decided to let it go due to other projects that he would like to complete. Every part of the machine has been completely stripped, checked rebuilt or replaced and with as many genuine parts as possible. The original exhaust system was re-chromeable and was carefully rechromed to keep the stamping as much as possible. We have been told the GT750 is running well and will be checked over before coming to the auction and be ready for its new owner. It is offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: TOR 249G Frame No: BC11672 Engine No: BC11672 CC: 650 MOT: ExemptRestored to a very high standardMany hours spent on the restorationAttention to detail during the restorationCurrent V5C on fileTriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and is now one of the most sought-after bikes of the era.This 1969 Triumph T120R Bonneville was purchased as a complete machine but in need of full restoration. The current vendor has gone into great detail to source the correct parts where possible during the restoration. The paintwork is of a very high quality with all brightwork rechromed. The engine has been fully rebuilt with new pistons, rings, crank, valves, guides, etc. All the wheels were rebuilt by Brickwood wheel builders in Salisbury. Not used in the last three years, it has,however, been stored well and kicked over regularly. The Triumph will need light recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C, VMCC Dating Certificate, and other paperwork. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: RM250-20149 Engine No: RM250-19535 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptA very nice Suzuki RM250Part of a collection of machinesIdeal off-road SuzukiUnregisteredThe Suzuki RM125 and RM250 began production in 1975 and continued until 2008. The RM125 and RM250 were discontinued due to the decrease in demand for two-stroke motocross bikes. The 2007 model had an approximate output of 41.06hp at 11,500rpm and 30.2nm of torque at 10,500rpm.This Suzuki RM250 has formed part of a unique motorcycle collection. Restored many years ago to a good standard, the condition is holding up well. There are no documents with this machine and therefore it will require at least light recommissioning before registering for road use.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 150LiS 247702 Engine No: 150Li 764762 CC: 150 MOT: ExemptCompletely original and untouchedGenuine Red Italian 150 SpecialCorrect numbersIn apparently full running orderNOVA for easy UK registration or exportExceptional opportunityThe ‘150 Special’ debuted at Milan in 1963. The tuned engine and close-ratio gearbox made for a faster – 95kmh – machine with much-improved acceleration over a standard Li. The Special 150cc engine/gearing combination on these models was also particularly sought after by Lambretta racers who raided the machine engines and this has contributed to the rarity of them in original state.Here we present something special. A complete original paint unmolested pure genuine Italian 150 Special originally supplied in all red paint. We understand that there were very few factory-made Specials in red and the other known examples are SX200 models and only two of these are known to have survived. This the only 150 Special known to exist according to the vendor who has extensive Lambretta contacts and also through our own research. All of the red Lambrettas were sent as a special order to the USA as mentioned by Vittorio Tessera in his historical notes. It is also believed that these were a special order for a regional US post office. This very rare scooter was imported to the UK by Dean Harvey of Scootopia in 2016 it has a NOVA on file for simple UK registration or easy export.On close examination we note that there appears to have been a temporary sidecar fitted at some point. The original stand which would have been removed to do that was retained and was refitted and indeed is in the original red paint but in excellent unfaded condition in our opinion. It is interesting to see that all over the scooter the areas of paint that would have caught the sun have faded while other areas under shade have stayed quite vibrant. It is quite possible that the spare wheel would have had a cover to retain the brighter paint. There is a small running in transfer still visible inside the leg shield in English only. Believed totally original all over we could not see any touch ups to the paint anywhere. The original Giuliari seat is in pretty good condition with its original cover having minor unstitching at the top. The MPH Veglia speedometer shows 944 miles only which could easily be genuine. Our vendor has carefully specialised in collecting very original examples and we note that all of the outer cables, grease-points and cable straps have never been removed. Still standard as a 150 on 6V points. All of the original keys are present for the tool box, steering lock and ignition. The totally original standard engine started up easily and sounded very good at time of consignment. Please see running video.

The SRX600 offered a sleek cafe racer style with the reliability of a Japanese bike and has formed the basis of many specials over the years.This SRX cafe racer styled special was put together by the enthusiast vendor over the last couple of years, unfortunately, due to ill health he now having to downsize his collection. Finished in classic Kenny Roberts Yellow, Black and White US Yamaha race team colours, it is fitted with new tyres that have not seen any use, a bespoke exhaust system and a stylish single-seat conversion that the shape of the bike perfectly. Not run for a while, it may need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kick-starter and it comes supplied with some old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: ED 9064 Frame No: XTT20 (also TT1) Engine No: JORY/H 17953/* CC: 500 MOT: ExemptRestored and owned by Ewan CameronOriginal 'works' forks, petrol tank and frameRunning very wellCurrent V5C on fileThey made a range of motorcycles mostly powered by JAP, Blackburne and Villiers engines. The company made an effort to take their name racing. There was Lightweight TT success in 1929 race, followed by the Excelsior/Blackburne ‘Mechanical Marvel’ winning the 1933 TT.This Excelsior that is offered is possibly a really quite rare surviving racing Excelsior motorcycle. Having been in the possession of, and restored by, Ewan Cameron of Cameron Engineering, using a ‘works’ frame, forks, and petrol tank, it had a new rear end having been manufactured to original specification as it had been converted to a swing arm unit some time in its life and was used for grass-track racing in the West Country. The possibility exists that this machine was likely used by the Excelsior factory racing and development department for the 1931/32 seasons. It has a frame number ‘TT1’, which may have been the identification by the factory racing department to identify the racing frames or could have been ‘race replicas’ or ‘sports models’, we cannot be sure, however, the configuration is seemingly similar to ‘works’ machines of the period, particularly with the history of Excelsior/JAP motorcycles in competition. It has been with Ewan Cameron for some time. We have been informed it runs and rides very well and quick. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: MXK 447 Frame No: RC/1/10361C* Engine No: F10AB/1/8461 CC: 998 MOT: ExemptBelieved typo' error, UFM and RFM stamped 10361 but V5C shows 10381Logbook error should be able to be rectified with the help of factory recordsAdapted for touring by previous owner including fitting Craven panniersThe Vincent story began with Phil Vincent's purchase of the HRD name in 1928, initially producing bikes using proprietary engines in his own chassis. Always the innovator by the mid-30s he had developed his own 500cc single and 1000cc twin-cylinder designs that became the mainstay of production until 1955. The big v-twin was the fastest motorcycle in the world at the time and with some astute marketing become the bike everyone aspired to own. The Rapides and the Black Shadows have become some of the most desirable and iconic bikes of the era. Unfortunately, the company had to close in the late 1950s due to the high cost of manufacturing such an exclusive and high quality product.This Rapide has spent its last 12 years on the Isle of Man in a small private collection only covering around 600 miles and is now being sold to make room for other projects. It was bought by the vendor from the deceased estate of a Vincent enthusiast who after buying it in 1980 adapted the bike for serious touring use including the fitting of Amal Mk2 Concentrics, finned front brake hubs, an 8" single sided rear brake and a neat little chain oiler. If the stickers on the Craven panniers, included in the sale, are to be believed it was used extensively during his ownership for European tours. The bike has now been stood for several years and will need a good recommissioning before use but the engine turns over on the kickstarter with good compression. It comes supplied with a few old MOTs, a copy instruction manual, a continuation buff logbook and a V5C.* According to factory records Engine No. F10AB/1/8461 and Frame No. RC10361/C match a Series C Rapide that was manufactured in January 1951 and despatched to Jack Surtees Motorcycles (London). The bike is supplied with a continuation RF60 buff logbook issued in 1961 in which the handwritten frame number is unclear. The UFM and RFM are stamped 10361, which agrees with the factory records, but it looks like a typo occurred when the first V5 was granted so the DVLA has the frame number down as 10381. This error should be eminently reversible with the appropriate paperwork and help of the Vincent Owner’s Club.

Registration No: DX07 GZN Frame No: ZCGF511BA7V005565 Engine No: F5A606452 CC: 1000 MOT: NoneBeautiful Massimo Tamburini designed F4R 1000Low mileage with one enthusiast owner from newSupplied with all of its original manuals and a V5CMV Agusta is one of the most famous names in motorcycle history having won 270 Grand Prix races, 38 World Riders' Championships and 37 World Constructors Championships with legendary riders such as Giacomo Agostini, Mike Hailwood, Phil Read, Carlo Ubbiali, Gary Hocking and John Surtees. It all began in the early years of the 20th century when Count Giovanni Agusta left Sicily for northern Italy where he built his first aircraft, the AG1, four years after the Wright brothers had made history in the USA. Before the end of WW2 he identified a need for cheap transport once hostilities were over and had developed a 98cc engine that went into production in 1946. Count Domenico Agusta had a passion for motorcycle racing and much like Enzo Ferrari, the Agusta family produced motorcycles almost exclusively to fund their racing efforts, with the company going on to dominate Grand Prix racing in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Inline 4-cylinder engines were a characteristic feature of MV Agusta race bikes and a very exclusive range of 600cc to 860cc 4 cylinder road bikes became the most desirable and expensive bikes available at the time. Motorcycle production ceased in 1977 to concentrate on the more profitable helicopter division, only restarting in 1999 after the Castiglioni family took over the name and launched a new range starting with the F4 750.The F4 750 was created by legendary motorcycle designer Massimo Tamburini at CRC (Cagiva Research Center), following his work on the Ducati 916, with a full 1000cc version being launched in 2006. This beautiful example, presented in original condition, was bought new by the enthusiast vendor in 2007 and has been used sparingly since as part of his collection of classics. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he has not been able to ride it for a while so it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with all of the manuals and instruction books handed over when new, an unused tool kit and a current V5C.

After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive V-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35, V50 and V65 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This Guzzi 650 shaft drive V-twin has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years. It comes fitted with a full stainless steel exhaust system and a Spada style handlebar fairing which together with its lower seat height, electric starter and ease of maintenance make it an ideal bike for classic runs and rallies. Not run for a couple of years it will need recommissioning before use and comes with a couple of workshop manuals, some maintenance information, receipts and a current V5C.

There are a lot of extra panels that come with the Honda, and it is fitted with its touring panniers.

Always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. The Lodola, featuring a lightweight 175cc OHC single cylinder engine was company founder and original designer Carlo Guzzi's last design before his death in the early 1960s.This well presented Lodola has been part of a Moto Guzzi enthusiast private collection for the last few years. Dated as a 1957/58 model it is Moto Giro d’Italia eligible in the Rievocazione Storica or Historic re-enactment class. Purchased by a previous owner in 2006, he then gave it a full engine/gearbox and mechanical overhaul including a rebore, new piston, new bearings and seals throughout in preparation for the 2008 Giro d’Italia.

Registration No: E520 YRO Frame No: GV71B 104032 Engine No: V702 104070 CC: 1100 MOT: August 2024 Rare unmodified survivor in standard trimIncludes an original Suzuki 4 into 2 exhaust Supplied with 20 old MOTs and a V5CRESERVE REDUCEDThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war Japan had a need for cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. Better known for their two strokes in 1977 Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. The GSX range appeared in the early 1980s matching together Suzuki's bulletproof bottom end with 4 valves per cylinder. The legendary GSX1100 was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighter' and drag race specials.This rare unmodified GSX1100E musclebike is the ultimate expression of Suzukis air cooled 4 stroke range before they moved onto oil and then water cooling. Whilst a powerful bike in its day, there was plenty of scope left for tuning in its over-engineered motor so very few have survived in standard trim. This bike has been part of a private collection for a while and is only being sold to make space in the vendors garage. Run recently (see video) it may need a new battery before use and whilst fitted with a Cobra 4 into 1, it comes with a genuine and rare black chrome 4 into 2 exhaust system. Also included are 20 old MOTs, some receipts, a magazine featuring the model, an MOT until August this year and a current V5C.

The new model did not introduce any new innovations but was innovative in introducing them as a package. Four-cylinder power-plants, electric starting, 12v electrical systems and disc brakes had all been seen before, as had 120mph performance and oil-tight engines but no machine before the CB750 had incorporated all of these features at the same time.This very well-presented 1979 Honda CB750 was restored a few years ago by the previous owner to a very high standard. It was used and enjoyed by him until the current vendor purchased it in 2020 and has formed part of a small collection of machines. The Honda has been used and was one of the vendor's favourites. Used until the autumn of last year and has since been in winter storage, with some light recommissioning before use. It is offered with a current V5C and 2 sets of keys.

Registration No: FWX 506L Frame No: V9SS2T 10428 Engine No: V9SS2T 7097 CC: 88.5 MOT: ExemptAn opportunity to acquire one of the rarest Vespas ever producedOriginal SS90 engine and SS frame and partsCorrect numbersV5 present for use on UK roadsBy the early 1960s Vespa Douglas in Great Britain were importing Italian-built Vespas as opposed to continuing to manufacture them. The Vespa SS90 made between 1965 and 1971 is much sought after by collectors due to its extreme rarity and only just over 5000 were produced. The later Vespa SS90 Racer is even rarer with a total reported production of only 3512 machines. The engine is identical to the SS90 Supersprint with the two-stroke 88.5 cc engine as a single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a bore/stroke of 47/51mm and an 8.7:1 compression ratio. It’s paired with a 4-speed gearbox, the dry weight is 77 kilograms, and the top speed is 93km/h (58mph). The only visible difference on the 90 Racer is that the exhaust was black as opposed to the SS90 exhaust which was chrome. The frame was a standard Vespa 90 body with simple Vespa badging on the front. On the rear, however, there was an identifiable sticker ‘Racer’. The headset, forks and wheels were the same as the 125 Primavera.This 90 Racer is a very interesting lot indeed. The original correct engine is there but will need restoration and is missing some parts. However, the extremely rare SS90 ’S’ cylinder barrel is supplied. The chassis is an original correct SS90 racer frame although work had started to cut down to imitate a SS90 Supersprint and this work could be continued. The frame has already been jigged to be correct by well-known Vespa engineer John McLochlan. There are also many extremely hard-to-find original and correct parts including the seat which is in very good order, the speedometer, ball-end levers, headset and front light. This could be a very worthwhile restoration project and it already has a V5C. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Sporadic production continued throughout the Pioneer period and by the 1920s they had a range of single cylinder side valve models featuring either two or three speed gearboxes and belt or chain final drive as well as a flat twin. Their machines quickly established an enviable reputation for reliability, enhanced in 1924 by Hugh Gibson's successful circuit of the British coast on a Raleigh combination and Marjorie Cottle's reverse circuit of the same route on a solo. Production continued until 1933 when the company ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on their pedal powered products.This stunningly presented 2 ¾ HP two speed belt drive Model 1 was actually recovered from a hedge in 1987 by the enthusiast vendor. As you can imagine it was in quite a state but it was extensively renovated with love and precision by the current owner, an engineer, and thoroughly enjoyed by him and his wife winning prizes at many classic events such as the Chipping Steam Fair. It is thought that very few have survived and the bike was re-registered on its original number in 2002 with the help of Michael Worthington-Williams once the restoration was complete. It comes with quite a selection of spare parts including a fuel tank, exhaust, rims, boxes of mechanical parts and what appears to be the best part of another engine as well as a pillion seat. There is also an extensive box file full of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information and a current V5C.

It was the first scooter of the Li range and appeared some 7 months before the Li. The new 4-speed TV machine was able to reach an unprecedented 103kmh (64mph) which was a significant improvement on the 3-speed LD models which it replaced. However, the new engine was not without its problems and various changes to the design were made during its short production run to improve things. It had a large carburettor with a diaphragm and a complicated kick start arrangement. Early examples had cable adjusters on the handlebar levers. The rear suspension had a combined spring and hydraulic shock which allowed the engine to swivel silent mounts. The wheel rims had chrome edging. The rear light had a triple bulb arrangement with an orange lens either side of a red centre. The new enclosed chain driven engine had an increased capacity and the crankshaft, barrel, piston and gearbox ratio were changed. The front forks were fitted with external shock absorbers. The rear plate and fork links were redesigned to cope with the extra power. The TV175 models were fitted with a Veglia 120 km/h speedometer face and a dual seat. The ‘Lambretta’ and ‘TV175’ side panel badges were attached to the panels with small nuts as opposed to the riveted badges on the Series 1 Li panels. Often referred to as the ‘tourer’ it had a superb performance when running correctly coupled with beautiful styling and has been hugely sought after for many years by collectors.This early version example with cable lever adjusters was imported recently into the UK and is registered to enjoy immediately. She was reportedly in use on the road in Sweden up until the present and our vendor did join a local rally on it at the time of purchase riding some 50km without issue. The scooter certainly appears to be mechanically well maintained but with striking patina. The rear shock has been replaced with a correct type and the floor mats are new but we could find little else that was not original to the scooter. Used floor mats are sometimes available and would complete the entire original look. The seat is the original Aquila Continentale with a cover replaced long ago. Please see below videoOf note the original correct speedometer with chrome bezel is showing 11,694km. The scooter being largely untouched and unmodified is showing superb originality all over the machine including: Sound deadening rough in all the correct paces, lights front and rear, carburettor and fuel tap, ignition, engine and the electrics are still on 6v points. A TV series 1 in this unmodified condition, fully running with full keys and V5C is a rare and desirable machine.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years.This early post-war Triumph Speed Twin has formed part of a private collection of machines. Purchased as a restored machine from his brother and has been enjoyed since in the current vendor's ownership. The restoration was carried out to a high standard but now shows some signs of use.

BMW manufactured 15,364 R27 models over the production years of 1960 to 1966. BMW did things differently from other manufacturers. This is evident in the R27. Its enclosed shaft final drive is rare for a single-cylinder motorcycle. But it also had a triangulated Earles front fork (named after English designer Ernest Earles).Declared first registered in 1961 and originating in the Palmers Green area of London with the first owner, Mitchell Erskine Ltd, the R27 stayed in London before making it to Kent in 1963, followed by ownership in Berkshire, Wiltshire, Northumberland and later Derbyshire since the mid 1980s. It is lovely to see this R27 is offered with an original R27 Instruction Manual and a BMW factory-produced Repair Manual. Also accompanying the Munich machine are a couple of spare parts books, a collection of old tax discs dating back to 1971, old MOT certificates, a buff logbook plus two old blue V5s. Understood to have not been run in the last 18 months '1994 MT' has been in current family ownership since 1986 and is offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

The original company produced motorcycles from 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar, a three-wheeler for disabled drivers. The Greeves Scottish was named in honour of Jack Simpson’s class win in the 1957 Scottish Six Days Trial and for many years it was the clubman rider’s favourite mount. The bike went through a large number of updates during its eight-year production span but was distinguished by its alloy frame section and leading link forks.This good looking c.1961 Scottish, in classic Greeves colours of Blue frame and Silver petrol tank, has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years and is offered in authentically restored condition. The engine was subject to a £728 engine overhaul in 2010, invoice included, and the vendor reports it has not seen much use since. Run recently, the bike appears to have only had competition use so has never been registered. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary inline 4 cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, but Honda always liked to push the boundaries with different layouts. The transverse vee twin CX500 was such a model and after initial teething problems built up an enviable reputation for durability, becoming the despatch riders weapon of choice.This 1979 CX500 Custom model was imported from the USA in 2016 and bought by the vendor who then started a long-term project to build a one-off ‘brat-bike’ using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame and swinging arm have been powder-coated in Bronze with the bodywork refinished in two-tone Bronze and Gold and a new speedo and tacho fitted. A pair of bespoke mudguards have been modelled together with a tan-coloured seat to create that all-important cut-down look. The chassis is finished off with a pair of Ohlins rear shocks and a neat little tool bag that sits behind the engine. A labour of love, the vendor has spent a fortune and many hours to build this bike, dry stored over the winter it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with some spare parts, receipts collected during the rebuild, a tool kit, its original owner's manual and a current V5C.

The C range encompassed scooterette and motorcycle styles and was sold in 50cc, 70cc and 90cc engine sizes and could stake a claim for being the most important and influential motorised vehicle ever designed. To put things into context the C range has sold more individual units than the top three selling cars of all time combined! The early models were OHV pushrod designs with a cast iron barrel and head but by the mid 1960s had become OHV with alloy heads.This early OHV model, being offered without reserve, still features pushrods in its 6.5hp engine. Rare in the UK, it is an older restoration but has kept a good degree of originality including the neat little indicators that would have been quite a feature on an early ‘60s motorbike. Not run for a number of years it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a Dating Certificate and a V5C, however, the keys have gone missing over the years.

Production of the Corgi scooter for the UK market began in 1948 and 27,050 were manufactured before production ended in October 1954. The main difference between the Corgi scooter and the Welbike were that the frame was more solid (as weight was no longer such an issue) and the Corgi had a fuel tank in the normal motorcycle position between the handlebars and the saddle. Some were even marketed as an Indian Papoose.Corgi A: This Corgi was purchased as a restoration project by the current vendor who restored it, powder-coating the frame, wheels, and mudguards with an engine rebuild. We have been advised it has good compression and a good spark.

They had a larger rear light and a more angular modern shape than the VBB. Made from 1965 up until 1979 they were arguably the best selling Vespa scooter of all across the world until the P range. There were numerous changes over the VBB overall including; larger brake shoes and drums and ignition. It was a competent scooter with over half a million sold in the long production run.This 150 Super was purchased by our vendor around 5 years ago and he has recently had a £500 Vespatronic kit upgraded and fitted with an auxiliary ignition switch (next to the choke lever) by Steve Gregory of the well-regarded VMS (Vintage Motor Scooters). At some point the wheels have been converted to 10 inch and these work well and are fitted with quality Continental tyres. The serial numbers for frame and engine are however correct, so this is not a replacement engine. Nicely presented in gloss black the scooter did start quite easily after 3 years of non-use although a little smoky as the fuel was old. With fresh fuel it should run well in our opinion. Our consultant was able to ride the scooter on the road and all appeared to work as it should. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. The 650cc A10 Golden Flash, to give it its full name, was developed by Bert Hopwood in 1949 to compete with the parallel twins being offered by Triumph and Norton at the time. With a good turn of speed and a strong chassis, it probably became the world's first 'Sports Tourer', equally happy as a weekend pleasure bike or lugging around a double adult sidecar during the week.On offer here from a deceased estate is a 1954 A10 Golden Flash that was first registered on 17th May 1954. Accompanying the bike to the sale is a BSA Service Sheets booklet, a Haynes manual, a large collection of old tax discs and MOT certificates back to 1985, sundry DVLA paperwork and a copy of an old V5 that records just 2 former keepers.

A number of models were tested for suitability and the Triumph Model H was selected. With the rear wheel driven by a belt, the Model H was fitted with a 499cc air-cooled four-stroke single-cylinder engine. It was also the first Triumph not to be fitted with pedals, so was a true motorcycle.This Triumph Model H has been in the hands of its last owner since 2013 and has been enjoyed since its ownership. Mr Morpeth the previous owner owned it from 2003-2013. This is described as a good usable machine that formed part of the famous Geeson Brothers Collection and has been paraded at Vintage shows.

Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. The KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the chammpionship winning KTTs.This 1936 KSS was bought by the vendor in 1996 and lovingly restored by him over the next few years with an extensive paperwork folder of receipts and technical information documenting the process. A stunning looking bike with its large fishtail silencer and gloss black finish, it was very much ahead of its time with its OHC top end but proved to be a very expensive bike to manufacture. Unfortunately, due to ill health the vendor can no longer ride so it’s time to let someone else have the pleasure. Not run for a couple of years it will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with the aforementioned paperwork file of invoices and technical information, a few old MOTs, various manuals and a current V5C.

The scooter was discovered by Douglas managing Director Claude McCormack when the struggling company was in the hands of the official receiver. The Vespa presented itself as a solution to the companies problems and a deal was made with Piaggio to begin production of the Vespa under licence in Britain starting with the ‘Rod model’ launched in March 1951. Piaggio soon regretted this decision and consequently Douglas under-performed and was several years behind the Italian models until the late 1950’s when parity was almost made. The result in today’s international collectors market is that British built Douglas Vespas have in recent times emerged with a special rarity status.The Supreme was one of three special edition Sportiques made by Douglas in Bristol. The Sportique itself was almost identical to the Piaggio VBB with a reliable 150cc motor using many Piaggio supplied Italian parts and sporting an attractive GS style clam shaped 60 MPH speedometer. The ‘Grand Luxe’ ‘Grand Tourer’ and ‘Supreme’ were all unique designs built from 1962 to 1965. The Supreme was supplied in bespoke silver paint with chrome side panels and front mudguard from new in keeping with the ‘Mod’ demand at the time.This Supreme was originally registered in Taunton, Somerset on 20th April 1964. A new keeper in 1974 a Thomas Cole from Bath and then a John Lewis of Radstock. It has obviously been overpainted but some effort has been made to reveal the original paint and this could be continued. The result could potentially be a unique patina. The chrome panels are still showing some chrome evidence and a similar outcome could be achieved. It is evident that the scooter has had a sidecar fitted in its life and the top fitting bracket is still attached. There is one hole in the floor where the lower sidecar bracket would have been. Other than that it is very solid generally all over. There is a high level of originality including: Douglas D handgrips, original speedometer, lights are original, seat and badges. The front Douglas badge is also original and just needs the remaining overpaint scraped off. The cylinder head and exhaust are missing however there are some parts supplied and replacement parts for these engines are not difficult to source. This is an extremely worthwhile project and a very rare machine. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest producer of bikes in the world going on to manufacture over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products from cars to lawnmowers. Mr Honda himself never liked two strokes so whilst the other Japanese manufacturers concentrated on them, Honda stuck to producing only four strokes until the mid-1970s. The CD175 was the workhorse of the Honda range in the seventies and gave a lot of future riders their first taste of motorcycling, its solid and robust design standing up to the abuse dished out by many learners.This CD175 in Red will stir memories in many motorcyclists of a certain age with its economical twin-cylinder four-stroke OHC engine, solid pressed steel frame and deeply valanced mudguards.

The sidecar was manufactured by Grindlay and is a rare survivor today, this was restored at the same time as the Sunbeam. It comes complete with a current V5C, a file with receipts for parts and work carried out and a dating certificate from the Marston Sunbeam Club.

Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Their best-selling model was the Bantam first seen in 1948 as a 125cc and in fact became the best-selling British-made bike of all time.First registered on the 25th February 1969 and with a mere 3 former keepers showing on the V5C, this D14 iteration of the Bantam is offered with some old photographs of the bike, BSA Owner's Club and Bantam-related literature, spares information and a number of old tax discs dating from 2003 plus old MOT paperwork. Understood to have not been run in the last 18 months 'HJH 72G' has been in current family ownership since 2006 and is offered with a current V5C document.

One of several motorcycle manufacturers in Birmingham, Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs were commonplace on motorcycles today, including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid-1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc world championship titles.This 1937 Velocette MOV was purchased by the vendor in 2018 to form part of a collection of motorcycles. In his ownership, it has been used for shows and events. It has not been used for some time due to other machines in the collection, and will now require some recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

It is often called the original Universal Japanese Motorcycle. Though other manufacturers had marketed the transverse, overhead camshaft, inline four-cylinder engine configuration and the layout had been used in racing engines prior to World War II, Honda popularized the configuration with the CB750, and the layout subsequently became the dominant sport bike engine layout. The CB750 is thought to be the first motorcycle to be called a "superbike".On offer is a 1979 Honda CB750K, described as in good all-around condition for its age, it has formed part of a collection of machines and has had little use in the last year.

Café racers were standard production bikes that were modified by their owners and optimized for speed and handling for quick rides over short distances. Noted for its visual minimalism, a 1960s café racer would typically be an English parallel twin motorcycle with low-mounted clip-on or "Ace" handlebars with rear-set footrests. Items considered "non-essential" such as side panels, rear chain enclosures, and voluminous mudguards were replaced by lighter items, or dispensed with altogetherThis 1961 Norton café racer was built by the current owner around 6 years ago. His heart and soul have gone into creating a machine true to the era and his youth. The machine is based around a 1961 Norton slimline frame with a 500cc Dominator bottom end and a Norton Dominator 99 top-end conversion with twin carbs. There have been many upgrades on the machine during the build such as a Norton Commando clutch and alternator, twin leading-shoe brakes, ignition cut-off leaver, electronic ignition, and plenty more. The vendor has informed us that the machine is running ‘very well’ and is described as ‘quick when you want it to be’. It is being offered with a current V5C Registration Document.

Many of the parts were supplied from Italy (Piaggio) and France (ACMA) from the beginning and then later models had many Italian Piaggio supplied parts and this dId not alter until the last MotoVespas were produced. The 125 N was the first fully Spanish built wide frame Vespa after the grey Faro Basso type. It retained the crimped beading on the frame sides., which is a desirable effect. Often referred to as the Spanish ‘Struzzo’ (Italian for Ostrich) it resembled the Italian VL range. It had many features the same as the Struzzo including cabled handlebars, 3 gears, 8 inch wheels and Femsa ignition.Here we present a very attractive example that has been the subject of a very long restoration because of the owner's insistence on sourcing original parts which he tells us took patience. He bought it 8 years ago and has decided to sell to make room for a new project. We are informed by the vendor that the attractive light green period style colour was an original paint colour for the model in Spain but we cannot verify this, however, it really is a typical 50s colour and very nice too in our opinion. Original parts that we could see were the Veglia speedometer (Douglas), lights, hubs and rims, engine cowls and we are informed all of the panels are the originals restored. We are also informed that the engine is completely standard with original barrel and gearbox. The top of the petrol tank is original however the lower part is a SIP replacement as is the carburettor. The electrics have been converted to 12v with a quality Pinasco ignition system. The original Spanish number plate is also supplied and one can see the original owner's plate beneath the seat on the carb door.We were able to start the scooter easily at the time of consignment and our consultant also took it for a little spin and all seemed to work as it should.

Production was soon running full steam ahead with 1,000 machines per week, the Model P's success undoubtedly the demise of many small manufacturers. Production continued until the decade's end, by which time the Model had spawned many more refined derivatives -such as the Model N, and Q among them. By 1930 only one model of this and highly successful remained - the 549cc NSD, by this time updated with a saddle tank design.This 1930 Banbury-eligible Triumph has been restored to a good standard by the late vendor. In the time since completion, it has been used and provided much enjoyment. During the restoration, it was completely stripped down with components restored or replaced where necessary. The Triumph is running well and all the lights work too. It comes complete with a current V5C, old MOT certificates and sundry paperwork and literature.

After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawaski name in the early sixties, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high-performance 2-stroke twins and triples. In the early ‘70s the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750 but Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for superbike performance. With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world and is now one of the most desirable bikes of the 1970s. The A4 was the last of the 903cc four-pipe models before the engine was enlarged to become the Z1000 in 1977.This authentically restored and beautifully presented Z900 was imported from the USA in 1996 where it would have been known as a KZ900. By the mid 1970s Kawasaki had opened a manufacturing plant in Nebraska, built to get around the strict import restrictions put in place to protect Harley Davidson. This KZ900 was more than likely made by 'Kawasaki Motors Corporation USA' and then sold to Kawasaki Rhode Island USA on the 7th June 1976, with a copy of the original statement to that effect included in the sale. Bought by the vendor in 2003, and ridden by him sparingly since, it is fitted with the optional twin disc front brakes and a good quality replica aftermarket 4 into 4 exhaust system.restored as an ongoing project, the engine was rebuilt in 2004 by the Japanese motorcycle enthusiast at Verity’s Motorcycles in St Ives Cambridgeshire using OEM parts. After a few years of use, in late 2012 and early 2013, the motorcycle was stripped down and given a cosmetic restoration with all relevant parts repainted by Dream Machine. The original speedometer clock has been replaced, therefore the total mileage for the motorcycle is actually 29,934, made up mainly of the 27,902 on the original clock and 2,032 miles since the change. This can be confirmed via MOT certificates, most of which are provided from 1997 until 2017 when the motorcycle was recognised as an Historic Vehicle and they were no longer required, although a new MOT is now present, valid until 20th September 2024, to identify its roadworthiness together with a current V5C.

Introduced in 1985, the new machine sought to capture the spirit of the great sporting singles of the past in a modern user-friendly machine. The new model drew heavily on their experience producing four-stroke trail bikes from the XL range, sharing the four radial valve cylinder head layout. The result was an economical engine capable delivering over 50 miles to the gallon and a top speed of 108 mph. The machine's styling was understated and placed the rider "within" the motorcycle.This 1985 Honda XBR has been owned by the current vendor for the last 12 years and in his ownership it has been the daily machine for errands and the odd bike meet. It has been a great machine that has never let him down. Showing signs of use, but mostly original, it benefits from its original exhaust system, a current V5C, a host of old MOT certificates, receipts for parts, and a sales brochure.

The outbreak of World War II delayed the launch and several prototypes were built during the war years, with the model finally launched in September 1946, when hostilities had ended. The very first A7 off the production line was flown to Paris for the first motorcycle show after the end of the war. There was huge demand for affordable transport after the war and the simplicity of the A7 twin was helped along by the slogan 'It's time YOU had a BSA!'.On offer is a nicely restored 1955 BSA A7, restored to a very good standard by the previous owner.

The saddle was lowered 2.2 inches and the steering head rake angle increased by 4.3 degrees giving a 33.3 degree rake. The America also had a larger fuel tank with a 'chromed' plastic console to house the filler. The side panels were extended with sheet-metal covers over the passenger-peg brackets and perforated chrome fittings behind the carburettors to provide the 'retro look' of the air-filter covers from the 1960 Triumph twins. The rider's footrests were also moved to the front of the engine to create a 'cruiser' riding position.This 2004 Triumph Bonneville America was purchased by its first owner in 2004, it was ordered with many thousands of pounds worth of extras the list is huge. The machine is in good order and has been looked after very well. It has been running recently but will need checking over before placing it back on the road.

Lambrettas had already been manufactured in India since the late 1950s under license from Innocenti by API so they were a known brand. The SIL production focussed exclusively on the GP range with production of the 125/150 and 200cc models until production ceased at the end of the 1990s. The 200cc models were almost all built for export and were essentially the same as the earlier Italian version providing 11.9 HP with similar reliability. In Great Britain the appetite for new Lambrettas was still prevalent and continued from the mid 1970s, although in far lesser numbers than the 50s and 60s. A mix of Spanish built SX derivative styled and Indian built GP styled Lambrettas continued to be available. It is unclear how many SIL GP200s were imported.This 1985 built example of a GP200 was bought around 18 months ago from Welcome garage Stratford by our vendor as a nostalgic gift to his wife who was a Scooter Girl in the 1980s. She has however never ridden it so it is for sale. With 3 former keepers according to the V5C we note that the mileage recorded back in 2015 was only 4255 miles and that this has crept up gradually over the years to the 6114 that be can see on the speedometer which leads us to believe that the mileage is probably genuine.

In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence and the Commando launched in 1967 carried on this theme culminating in Peter Williams’ victory in the 1973 Formula 750 TT. The bike was first seen in 1967 at the Earls Court Show and the first production bikes were available in March 1968 initially with 750cc displacement, in 1973 it became an 850cc. During its ten years of production the Commando was popular all over the world, in the United Kingdom winning the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total with the Mark 3 being the last model offered before the company's demise in 1975.This very well presented Mk3 Commando has been restored and modified by a previous owner to make it more reliable and better to ride. The always suspect starter motor has been upgraded, a Mikuni carb fitted, Boyer Brandson electronic ignition, Landsdown adjustable fork cartridges, Koni rear dampers and a Norvil twin disc front end. The cosmetic restoration was completed with stainless steel rims and spokes shod with some modern tyres. It would be hard to find a better example of what is quite a rare version of one of the last great British bikes of the era.

The wheels were increased to 8 inch as opposed to the previous 7 inch, a larger fuel tank, more efficient suspension and the adoption of a Teleflex hand gear change instead of the previous foot change system. Around 37,000 were produced in total in the 15 months the B was in production.This 1949 example was first sold in Brescia and still has the original Nello Brinis & Co dealer badge. We believe it was last on the road in 1960 as the last Italian tax disc on the scooter states this. The scooter was imported in 2021 and was a very good find. The absolute originality all over this scooter testifies to that. Our vendor has not done anything to it as it runs very well and has an extraordinarily good-aged patina.

Just over 41700 were produced. The Rally also known as the Queen of Vespas was a large performance step up from the earlier models of the 1960s. The 180 versions were well-received for their performance and appearance. The 200 was similar to the Rally 180 but with a larger capacity cylinder capable of producing over 10hp and crankcase modifications were made necessary to accommodate that. There was also a new FEMSA electronic unit and the Rally 200 was produced in a range of vibrant colours in tune with the fashions of the 1970s.Here we present a remarkably original example. The original old blue-type logbook confirms it was bought brand new by a Mr Robert Ross of Dudley from Joseph Devey and Co. (Motorcycle Agents) of Wolverhampton and the original sales receipt shows the price paid was the sum of £395.81. It is the extremely rare 30th anniversary model of which it is said only 400 were produced in the Azzuro China colour. Our vendor purchased it from the first owner in 2013 and has never used it (the V5C is showing 3 previous users because our vendor put the scooter into his father-in-law's name and then back to himself, although neither of them actually used the scooter). The mileage is showing 8,284 miles and this is believed to be genuine. We can see from the MOT test in 1979 the mileage at 8,150 miles. It is believed to have been stored away soon after 1979 and not used since. The original logbook, guarantee and service book are present as is the original user manual in English.All over the scooter we can see originality and the paint has no touch-ups anywhere that we could see. There are no holes cut for crash bars. The engine is unmodified, the seat is the original. The Femsatronic ignition is the original 6v. We noted that the wheel rims and tyres are new as is the horn and stand feet rubbers, but that was all. The original VARTA battery outer casing has been re-used with a smaller modern battery inserted inside. Everything else is as it was when purchased. It also comes with the original tool bag and tools (not photographed) and full original keys, of course. Remarkably despite being laid up since 1979 the scooter starts and rides. This is a very rare opportunity to acquire one of the best original Rally 200s to come onto the market for some considerable time.

In the same year Ernie Nott set a new two-hour world record at over 100 mph and went on to set further records in 1929. The bike, especially the bronze head Ulster replica, became the mainstay of road racing in the day with even Enzo Ferarri running a race team in Italy using Rudges. This racing heritage gave the Rudge name a lot of credibility but unfortunately works supported racing and the supply of race machinery ended around the mid-thirties with the death of Rudge-Whitworth principal and driving force J.V. Pugh. A subsequent diversification into autocycles and other badly managed ventures caused the demise of the Rudge concern in 1940.This Special had been stored away in a barn since the early 1960s before being rescued a couple of years ago and given an authentic restoration as a lockdown project. First registered in late 1934, the continuation buff logbook issued in 1943, suggests it had a sidecar fitted at the time. The engine has been rebuilt but has not been run since so will need some recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with a paperwork folder of receipts and restoration information, manuals and a current V5C.

Registration No: SN04 FOH Frame No: 5HD1FRN14Y711677 Engine No: 711677 CC: 1450 MOT: April 2024Harley Road King fitted with a 'Champion' reverse gearBespoke colour matched LAK sidecar made in HollandRare outfit supplied in excellent condition with a V5C RESERVE REDUCEDHarley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest running motorcycle manufacturers. Harley epitomise large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. For some the Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King is the best example of Harleys products, combining the 1950s style of the Fat Boy with the versatility and comfort of the Glides thanks to its twin shock chassis, with the custom model featuring leather panniers, backrest and windscreen. At its heart lies a classic HD vee twin air-cooled 1450cc Twin Cam motor driving through a five-speed manual transmission delivering a torque figure of 117Nm at only 3500rpm. That impressive amount of low down torque is ideal for pulling along a sidecar like the bespoke LAK wide bodied version fitted to this bike. Harley never offered a sidecar to suit driving on the left hand side of the road but LAK used some of the fittings of the home market models to produce a stunning looking sidecar that compliments the shape and style of the Road King. This rare combination is presented in excellent condition, run recently it is only being sold as the vendor needs to downsize his collection. The bike comes fitted with lots of extras including a genuine HD screen, backrest, crash bars, spot lights, sound system and leather saddlebags. The colour matched wide bodied sidecar is a work of art and really looks like it belongs on the bike. Fitted with what appears to be genuine Harley features such as the lights and mudguard crest, there is a chrome rack on the rear and it includes all of its protective covers. The bike has been modified for sidecar use with the correct profile tyres all round and most importantly, a 'Champion' reverse gear kit. This distinctive looking outfit stands out from the crowd and would cost a small fortune to put together new, the reverse gear kit alone would come to around £1750 alone. It comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: BA 16208 Engine No: 16208 CC: 125 MOT: ExemptExtremely originalVery rare Lilac paint optionExcellent very original condition, including paintIn good running conditionThe first time a Vespa was seen in Great Britain was on the stand of motorcycle manufacturer Douglas at the 1949 Motor Cycle Show. The scooter was discovered in Italy by Douglas managing Director Claude McCormack when the company was in the hands of the official receiver. The Vespa presented itself as a solution to the British companies problems and a deal was made with Piaggio to begin production of the Vespa under licence in Bristol in England starting with the ‘Rod model’ launched in March 1951.The 152L2 range of Vespas released in 1959 were the immediate successors to the long running ‘tubular handlebar’ scooters of the 1950s and in the UK was the first model made in Britain to have cast handlebars like the GS. The 152L2 came more into line with the Piaggio production style of the VNA and had a completely redesigned flat topped body and engine which formed the basis for decades of future Vespas. Many of the parts were imported from Italy and the 152L2 is unique in that it has a mix of Italian and British made parts. The engine was a rotary inducted design which improved reliability, gave more power but reduced fuel consumption and required less oil in the fuel mix. The carburettor was relocated to a position just above the engine. The whole package was a much more professional looking machine whilst retaining many similar features of the desirable lines of the GS. With a sale price of £131 the 152L2 was regarded as a very reliable machine and could travel at 46mph. They are now becoming increasingly collectible as with most of the Bristol made Vespas.This 152L2 is in an untouched original condition and in the very rare lilac paint option. The engine is completely standard 125cc with its original exhaust which started up easily at the time of consignment. We could not see any replacement parts except an original correct switch unit. The Veglia speedometer is showing 3,597 miles which could easily be true judging by the overall excellent condition of this scooter. The white Denfield Douglas seat is in excellent condition with no rips or tears. The original paint is extremely good and the original running in transfer is clear. The floor runners are excellent and correct. The scooter is supplied with its original and hard to find windscreen brackets also in the original Lilac colour. There are also original perimeter ‘Florida’ bars fitted. The scooter will need to be registered if to be used on UK roads. This is a very rare scooter in this colour and in such excellent original condition. Please see below video For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001
