Lot 295
1982 Ducati 900 SS, 864cc. Registration number WCX 2X. Frame number DM 860 SS * 090889*. Engine number D DM 860 092489.The Ducati 900SS is one of the most important road-going superbikes in the company’s history. It was a direct descendent of the 750SS which took a dominant 1-2 victory at the 1972 Imola 200 with Paul Smart and Bruno Spaggiari. The first year of mass production for the 750SS was 1974, and from 1975 onwards a new engine was used, dubbed the “square case” due to the more angular design of the crankcase. This new engine featured two sizes, a 900cc (864cc) and was fitted with twin 40mm Dell’Orto carburettors to the air-cooled 90º L-twin with a single overhead cam per bank, two desmodromic valves per cylinder, a 5-speed gearbox, traditional telescopic forks up front and twin shock absorbers in the rear. The 900SS was upgraded over the course of its production run, in 1978 internal engine improvements were made including stronger cranks that were much more resistant to breaking, the electrical system was improved, and the gear lever was redesigned making the bike a lot easier to live with. Only 335 would be built in the final year, 1982, these had dual seats and painted wheels. WCX, a one owner, unrestored, machine was bought by Peter Atkinson on the 20th June 1982 from Motor Cycle World Bradford for £2,700. In 1983 he upgraded the exhaust pipes. It has only been serviced by marque specialist Paul Klatkiewicz (Ducati Technical Services), receipts on file from 1996 for an engine rebuild, 2001, 2003, and 2005, after this it was laid up and rested. Continuous MOT's on file start in 1986 at 6,277 miles up until 2003 at 18,993 miles. Peter had now given up riding and it was stored at his home until his recent passing when an old friend took over its care on behalf of his widow and took it back to Paul Klatkiewicz for a total recommissioning, at a cost of £1,914.95 using Mdina Italia parts, the full engine service included Desmo valve shims, the bike greased and the braking system was fully overhauled. Now offered for sale, this rare, one owner machine comes with an original Ducati single seat, some old parts, history folder, original maintenance manual and V5C.video added

c.1903 Humber 2¾hp Olympia Tandem ForecarFrame no. None Visible (see text)Engine no. 1897 (see text)For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website•Acquired in 1998•London-Brighton Run participant•Eligible for the Pioneer Run and Banbury Run•VCC Certificate of DateWith a background in bicycle manufacture, Humber began motor vehicle production as early as 1896, displaying motorcycles at 'The International Horseless Carriage Exhibition' that year. The production of Humber vehicles was carried on at both Beeston, Nottingham and at Coventry, there being some considerable rivalry between the two factories, the Beeston works being reserved generally for production of the more expensive models.The Humber Olympia motor tandem is an ideal vehicle for two riders. All control is in the hands of the rear rider while the passenger is in the front, out of reach of dust and the exhaust gases, and conversation is easy. The front seat is most comfortably hung on springs and is excellently upholstered, luxurious to even the most delicate. The steering is unaffected by the absence or the presence of a passenger, and is easier than that of an ordinary tricycle. Thus did Humber describe their 1903 offering. The air-cooled engine was built under Phelon & Moore licence, featuring an automatic inlet valve and a bore and stroke of 80x77mm, giving a capacity of 403cc.One of the earliest surviving Humbers, this tandem forecar was purchased at Brooks' Olympia auction in December 1998 (Lot 686). The vehicle was described as follows: 'Restored in 1989, this machine has regularly completed the Brighton Run and in 1995 was ridden from Paris to Bordeaux commemorating the Centenary of that early motor race and proving the reliability of this early machine.' The Humber had also successfully completed the 1998 London-Brighton Run. The machine is VCC dated as 1903 and is also eligible for the Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run from Epsom to Brighton, as well as the VMCC's Banbury Run. Notable features include Lucas lamps, a Desmo horn, and RAC London to Brighton plaques from 1993 and 1994. Accompanying paperwork includes photocopied technical literature, a selection of photographs, VCC Certificate of Date, some expired MoTs, and an old UK V5 registration document (registration 'DS 7442'). It should be noted that the dating certificate lists the frame number as '134871', as does the V5, while the somewhat indistinct engine number appears to be '1897' ('1297' on the aforementioned documents).• Acquise en 1998• Participant au Londres-Brighton• Éligible aussi aux Pioneer et au Banbury Runs• Certificat de datation du VCCUn des plus anciens modèles Humber survivants, cet avant-train en tandem a été acquis à la vente Brooks à l'Olympia en décembre 1998 (Lot 686). Le véhicule était décrit ainsi: « Restaurée en 1989, ce véhicule a régulièrement effectué le Brighton Run et il a accompli en 1995 le parcours de Paris à Bordeaux commémorant le centenaire de la première grande course automobile de l'histoire, démontrant la fiabilité de cette très ancienne machine ». Le Humber a également participé au London-Brighton Run 1998. La machine datée de 1903 par le VCC est aussi éligible au Sunbeam MCC's Pioneer Run d'Epsom à Brighton ainsi qu'au Banbury Run du VMCC. Parmi ses éléments caractéristiques notables, citons ses lampes Lucas, sa trompe Desmo et ses plaques du London to Brighton Run du RAC de 1993 et 1994. La documentation jointe comprend de la littérature technique en photocopies, une sélection de photos, le certificat de datation du VCC, des vignettes du MoT (périmées) et un ancien document d'immatriculation V5 (n° DS 7442) émis au Royaume-Uni. Le numéro du cadre n'a pu être retrouvé au mome... For further information on this lot please visit the Bonhams website

pre 1972 Ducati Mk3 Desmo 250cc. Registration number not road registered. Frame number DM250 * covered by the fairing bracket. Engine number 113296.In 1968 Ducati launched the first 'Desmo' road bikes in 250cc and 350cc capacities, born out of their racing program, Ducati’s Desmodromic valve actuation system, has valves that are both opened and closed by cam followers, rather than relying on coiled springs.This example was constructed from pre 1972 parts by our vendor in 1989 specifically for the Manx Grand Prix lightweight classic race as a second ride for his Norton 500. Built from spares, on a tight budget, it was not completed or run prior to arrival and final setting up was during practice. On the day it was down on speed compared to the 2 stroke Suzuki's but was reliable and ultimately finished 2nd on the day behind Dave Smith on an Aermacchi, 3rd was another Ducati. It is believed that this was the last time that three four strokes were on the podium before the two strokes took over the honours. Following further development he returned in 1990 (5th) and 1991 (7th), in 1992, with wet conditions affecting the electrics, he was mid table when the race was cancelled. The bike was then retired to his shed.In 2015/16 he totally restored the bike with the intention of entering the Festival of 1000 Bikes at Mallory but other circumstances got in the way and the bike has not been ridden since the restoration.During the restoration the engine was rebuilt with all new bearings and seals, big end overhauled, and the crankshaft refurbished. The brakes were fully rebuilt, the tacho overhauled and new cables.He has now decided it is time for a new owner to enjoy and it comes with 4 rear sprockets, a Scitsu charging lead, Desmo valve springs, collars and shims, piston rings, a two piece paddock stand, 1989 period race photos and various receipts and details of the engine spec.

1969 Ducati 450 MkIII DesmoRegistration no. HWR 162GFrame no. DM450 451100Engine no. DM450 451100•Eleganza prize winner•2019 Motogiro entrant•Top of the range Super Sport variantBy the mid-fifties Ducati was facing closure, so in a final throw of the dice hired Fabio Taglioni to design a bike to win the Motogiro. This and the Milano Taranto were known as the Gran Fondo (big ride) races, travelling across the Italian countryside as the ultimate high speed marketing machine, regularly making the front pages of newspapers. Taglioni's bevel drive overhead cam Gran Sport was the result, taking every place but one in the 1955 giro 100cc class, and fifth overall, only beaten by 175s.The following year a 125cc version would win outright, securing Ducati's future and ultimately being developed into 250 and 350 versions.The next significant development of Ducati's singles were the 'wide case' models of 1967. Changes were not just confined to the wider rear engine crankcase casting and frame mounting: Taglioni and his team also incorporated a stronger con-rod and big-end bearing, alongside improvements to the lubrication system and gearbox. There was also fulfilment of a Taglioni dream, with desmodromic valve actuation now available on production models, not just the racers. These top-of-the-range super sports variants were distinguished by their extra chrome and restrained 'D' decals on the side panels. Late in 1968 the Ducati single appeared in its largest '450' (actually 436cc) incarnation, which offered considerably more torque courtesy of the substantial hike in capacity, and additional frame bracing to allow a rider to make the most of it. They are a joy to ride, especially on Italian mountain roads. Bike magazine wrote in 1975 that they offer 'that rare blend of two wheeled excitement, satisfaction and safety'.This particular 450 MkIII Desmo motorcycle was imported from the US and then fettled and UK registered by Made In Italy Motorcycles of Stowmarket several years ago, a business much admired by the UK cognoscenti. The current owner reports that it ran very well during the 2019 Motogiro D'Italia, winning the 'Eleganza' prize offered by the Ducati Museum and presented by director Livio Lodi who considered it 'a most original and well preserved motorcycle'.Original parts, including the Borrani rims and heel/toe gear-lever, are included, as the 450D is currently fitted with stainless steel rims and a conventional gear lever, as well as a12v conversion. It is offered with two keys and a current V5C registration certificate.In common with many Ducatis imported from the US the frame number plaque is absent and the frame number is not a factory stamping, and duplicates the engine number. However it is as recorded on the V5C. Accordingly prospective bidders must satisfy themselves as to the origins, date and suitability of the machine's component parts prior to bidding.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
