The Sherpa vied with its major rivals from Montesa and Ossa throughout the seventies with a policy of annual updates maintaining its competitiveness. The 238cc Model 198A and its sister 326cc Model 199A were introduced in October 1978. The most noticeable difference relative to its predecessor was the loss of the lower frame rails with the sump shield now effectively forming the lower frame member and thereby increasing ground clearance. Other changes included a stronger swinging arm and a new ignition side engine case together with an all blue livery. The example offered is described as being in excellent condition throughout having been restored by the vendor during 2014. The engine was rebuilt with bearings, seals and primary drive chain being fitted. The fork stanchions have been re-chromed and the frame has been powder coated. New parts fitted include the mudguards, chain and sprockets, a new set of IRS trials tyres, a new Mikuni carburettor and Betor alloy gas rear shock absorbers have been fitted and the handle bars have been replaced with new cables and levers being used. The swinging arm bushes have been replaced.
Although the Mark series machines had served Douglas well they were replaced in 1955 by a new model, originally to be called the Dart, but by the time of its release known as the Dragonfly. Although the new machine employed an engine that was clearly a development of the existing unit the majority of the mechanical components were revised. The twin carburettors of the Mark series were replaced by a single instrument housed under a cover above the crankcases with the mixture being fed to the cylinder heads by two, long curving inlet manifolds fed from a chamber cast into the clutch housing. The revised power unit was endowed with clean modern lines that complimented a totally new set of cycle parts. The torsion bar rear suspension of the previous models was replaced by a conventional pivoted fork system controlled by a pair of Girling shock absorbers. The frame was of a duplex cradle type with a single top tube and Earles type forks, again controlled by Girling units, were fitted at the front. The most striking feature of the machine was the five gallon fuel tank that extended forwards of the headstock to incorporate the headlamp mounting. Unfortunately Douglas was not in a financially secure position leading to their acquisition by Westinghouse Brake and Signal at the end of 1956 which resulted in motorcycle production ceasing in March 1957. The example offered has been built by the vendor over the course of a number of years from parts. It is described as being good mechanical condition and excellent cosmetic condition. The wheels were built using stainless rims and spokes and stainless fasteners have been used wherever possible. The paintwork was carried out by Long Eaton Enamellers and the machine is accompanied by a Swansea V5C.
The 248cc Indian Brave was manufactured for the American company by Brockhouse in Southport Lancashire, better known in the UK at the time as the manufacturer of the Corgi. The Brave employed a side valve single cylinder engine built, unusually for the time, in unit with a three speed gearbox supplied by Albion which was housed in a rigid frame with undamped telescopic forks. Initially it was only offered in the States, although by 1954 it, together with a second model equipped with a pivoted fork, were available on the home market. Production ceased at the end of 1955, although machines were still available for purchase in 1956. The Brave offered performance comparable to its rivals such as the BSA C10L but failed to establish itself in the market and consequently are rare today. This example of the rigid version has benefited from a full restoration and is described as being in very good condition cosmetically and good condition mechanically. It is offered with a Swansea V5C.
With hindsight 1949 can be defined as the year of response to the success of the Speed Twin by Triumphs rival manufactures with BSA, Norton, Royal Enfield and AJS/Matchless all announcing new 500cc twins. The AMC models, typed the Model 20 and G9 for the AJS and Matchless models respectively featured a third, central main bearing but otherwise conformed to the norm. AMC, unlike the majority of their rivals, who dabbled with "sprung hubs" and various plunger systems, had introduced a pivoted fork frame controlled by hydraulically damped suspension units during the late forties having carried out development work during the war years. The new rear suspension system that was applied to both the singles and twins was complimented by AMC's "Teledraulic" battlefield proven front forks. The rest of the cycle parts were drawn from the existing single cylinder range. The basic design changed little over the course of the next few years, the most significant changes occurring in 1952 when a new Burman gearbox was adopted, 1954 and the change to a full width alloy hub and 1955, the year that the example offered was built, when an Amal Monobloc carburettor became standard together with a full width alloy rear hub. 1956 saw the introduction of the revised long oil tank and toolbox together with a new frame and in 1957 the Jampot suspension units gave way to items supplied by Girling. The G9 on offer was restored to a very high standard 20 years ago. Finished with a red and chromium plated petrol tank this lovely example is offered with a Swansea V5C and buff log book.
Introduced in 1956 the Lodola has the distinction of being the last Guzzi designed entirely by Carlo Guzzi. The Lodola was powered by a chain driven, single overhead cam engine built in unit and housed in a frame equipped with a conventional pivoted fork and telescopic forks. The 175cc version was offered in Normale and Sport form, being joined by an overhead valve version displacing 235cc, typed the Gran Tourismo, in 1959. It also provided the basis for a series of works regularity competition machines (ISDT type motorcycles) built by the factory in 175, 235 and 247cc, the majority of which employed the sohc engine and the Lodola Regolarita', a production 235cc sohc version built for sale to the public in limited numbers. The example offered is based on a 1960 road machine that has been converted to Regolarita' trim. Described as being in good condition throughout it is fitted with a high level exhaust of a type similar to that employed by the later works machines and incorporates an ammeter in the tool box and an oil cut out tap.
The Gold Star returned to the BSA catalogue for the 1949 season having been announced at the end of 1948. Initially only offered with a 348cc capacity, it was joined later in the year by a 499cc version. The new Goldie, typed the B32GS was based on the B series machines. Unlike the more prosaic singles in the range the Goldie employed an all alloy engine which was installed in the plunger equipped frame as standard. A range of optional parts were available, allowing the rider to tailor the machine to their specific needs and interest, be that road use, trials, scrambles or racing. A pivoted fork frame was introduced for the 1953 season with machines so equipped adopting the title BB32 and the plunger framed model being typed the ZB32GS. The ZB32 offered has been in the same family ownership since 1975. Offered in original condition the engine is described as "running" by the vendor with the transmission, electrical system and cycle parts all being "very good". The paintwork and brightwork are, according to the vendor, in good condition. It is offered with a Swansea V5C, original log book and the original engine performance sheet from the works.
PLEASE NOTE: The V5 is with the DVLA. Harley-Davidson introduced the X90 mini-bike at the beginning of 1973 offering the model until early 1975. Built at the former Aermacchi plant at Varese, Harley-Davidson having acquired the remaining Aermacchi shareholding at the end of 1972, the X90 was powered by a single cylinder two stroke engine displacing 90.43cc that benefitted from oil pump lubrication and a four speed gearbox. The engine was suspended from a tubular steel spine frame equipped with telescopic front forks and a pivoted fork rear suspension riding on 10" wheels. Capable of 60 mph the X90 rapidly attained cult bike status and is today highly sought after by both Harley-Davidson and mini-bike collectors alike. This extremely rare low mileage, only 770 miles are recorded on the odometer, original, unrestored example, dating from 1974, has not been used for the last 30 years.
Introduced during 1955 the Dragonfly featured a completely revised set of cycle parts housing an engine that, although clearly derived from the earlier unit, had been refined. Consequently a stiffer crankshaft assembly was fitted to a stiffer set of crankcases. A pivoted fork frame with conventional shock absorbers, a first for Douglas, and Earles forks replaced the torsion bar sprung frame and "Radiadraulic" leading link front forks employed by the previous "Mark" models. A great deal of attention had been paid to "cleaning up" the appearance of the engine which adopted a single carburettor .The clean lines of the engine and transmission were complimented by a set of valanced mudguards and a fuel tank which blended into the fixed headlight housing. The new model was well received by both the press and public but the company's reliance on one model placed them at a disadvantage, restricting their potential sales volume. The company was already in the hands of the Official Receiver when the Dragonfly was introduced and were sold to the Westinghouse Brake and Signal Company in 1956 who promptly ceased motorcycle production with the consequence that Dragonfly's are comparatively rare machines. The example offered, finished in red and black has the distinction of never being registered. Unusually it is fitted with twin carburettors. Described by the vendor as being in good condition throughout it has recently benefitted from some paintwork and is accompanied by a letter from Douglas.
PLEASE NOTE: This motorcycle is unregistered not as noted in the catalogue. The final version of the KTT (Kamshaft Tourist Trophy) which had first entered the Velocette catalogue in 1928, the MK VIII, was introduced for the 1939 season, and would, with a break for the Second World War, remain in production until 1950. The new version built on the success of the Mk VII but introduced a completely revised frame. The girder fork front suspension remained but was complimented by a pivoted fork rear suspension controlled by hydraulically damped and air sprung units. Mechanically the overhead cam engine benefitted from a well finned alloy cylinder and head with enclosed valve gear. Hairpin springs were employed to close the valves. A four speed close ratio gearbox was fitted in the frames full cradle. The high tensile steel wheel rims were laced to conical alloy hubs equipped with 7 inch brakes. Equipment included a tachometer driven from the magneto sprocket and a sprung saddle together with a rear pad and tank top pad enabling the rider to adopt a suitable crouch. The post war example offered dates from 1948 and has formed part of a private collection for a number of years. It is fitted with a number of non-standard items including an Alfin cylinder. The rear subframe is not original, nor are the rear shock absorbers, rear wheel, rear brake pedal and seat pad. The front mudguard stays, handlebars and levers have also been changed. Described as being in cosmetically good condition the machines mechanical condition is not known.
Suzuki introduced the first of the RG500 series production racers for the 1976 season. The new machine shared the square four configuration of its works XR counterpart, although the bore and stroke dimensions remained at 56mm x 50.5mm, the XR works bikes changing to square 54mm x 54mm dimensions for the 1976 season. The Mk I was equipped with a steel frame with laid down shock absorbers, 35mm forks and open expansion chambers. The Mk II and Mk III variants introduced silenced expansion chambers and revised bodywork; however, it was the introduction of the Mk IV in 1979 that introduced a significant change. The engine dimensions became the same as the XR series with a bore and stroke of 54mm x 54mm, the fork stanchion diameter increased to 37mm and magnesium wheels supplied by Campagnola replaced the spoked items previously fitted. The Mk V and VI again represented a period of evolution, rather than revolution for the development of the RG with changes occurring to the expansion chambers, a braced swinging arm being introduced with the Mk V and anti-dive being added to the front forks on the MKVI. This example has formed part of a private collection for a number of years during which time it has not been run. The Mk VI chassis dating from 1981 is fitted with a Mk V engine dating from the previous year and a non-original fuel tank is fitted.
