1967 Velocette LE200, Mk III, 192 cc. Registration number LRH 914F (not registered with DVLA). Frame number 8549/34. Engine number 8549/3. Velocette's LE (little engine), affectionately known as 'The Policeman's Friend' because of its adoption by over 50 police forces, was announced in October 1948, the police riders became known as "Noddies" because they were required to nod to senior officers, and the LE was nicknamed "the Noddy Bike". It was acclaimed world-wide for its quietness in running, its enveloping 'coachwork', comfort and safety. Early models were powered by a 149cc engine; however in 1951 capacity was increased to 192cc for the Model LE 200. Advanced technical features included a water-cooled, twin-cylinder, horizontally-opposed engine, shaft final drive and pressed steel, box-section frame with readily adjustable rear springing. The LE was revolutionary but expensive to produce. In 1952 it was priced at £173 and offered a maximum speed of 55mph. It remained in production until 1971, having struggled against, but seen off, competition from the motor scooter during its long production run. In 1958, Velocette launched the Mk III LE with a foot operated gear change and a conventional kick start. An extra gear was added, together with 18-inch-diameter wheels. The instrumentation was relocated to the head lamp, and the petrol capacity was increased from a meagre 1.25 to 1.62 imperial gallons With ten years' development, the Velocette LE was more reliable and practical, but on 3 February 1971, the company went into voluntary liquidation. The very last motorcycles made in the Veloce factory were LEs. Production of other motorcycles had been delayed or cancelled to produce the LE in various forms, and the lucrative police orders had dried up with the introduction of the "panda car" for patrol use by most forces. LRH 914F was purchased by the Hull City Engineer on the 9th August 1967, probably from Jordans of Hull, not for Police work, (they had bought theirs from Jordans in 29th May 1963, as a batch interesting with number 900 -916 FKH before being sold on in 1969). This example was used to tour the streets of Hull checking for faulty street lights. In October 1972 it was sold on by the council, by public auction to William Pickard of Cottingham who many years later passed in to our vendor. At this time it was MOT'd at 20,472 miles, today it is at 20,922 and unrestored. Sold with the V.E.60, a 1973 tax disc and the 1972 MOT.

1984 Kawasaki KR250, 249 cc. Registration number H802 GND. Frame number KH250 A 005843. Engine number KR250AE 005935. Never seen a KR250 before? You're not alone. Even by grey-import standards these Kawasaki tandem twins are rare. It is believed that there are less than 50 in the UK, 30 of those arriving in a batch independently imported by Huddersfield Kawasaki. They were only sold in Japan, Australia and South Africa got the KR and competed against the Suzuki RG. As well as being one of the rarest 250 two-strokes, the KR is also one of the most technically interesting. Its motor is a dual-crank tandem-twin, with Kawasaki's Rotary Reed Valve Induction System (RRIS), as used on the AR125. This gives it a much broader spread of power than the reed valve only RG - the KVSS power valve equipped KR250S introduced in '86 is claimed to be even more tractable. The chassis is striking too. There's an adjustable underslung shock, a braced swing arm, adjustable anti-dive forks, triple discs, a hand-welded aluminium frame and styling that gives more than a nod to the GPZ900R. Although complicated it helps the bike to remain very narrow, as exhaust routing and expansion chambers no longer have to run underneath the engine as they do on most parallel-twin engines. In this case, they both exit on the right side of the bike: one down low, the other partly through the tailpiece in flamboyant 1980s style. The round tail lamp is set into the kicked-up tail and the bolt-on hand-fairings are an unusual touch. The 45 hp engine was good for over 110 mph and had a six speed gearbox. As MCN said in 2016 "Starting these Kawasaki’s requires a knack - even in fine fettle, they're notoriously recalcitrant and sometime refuse to fire on one or both cylinders, despite vigorous kicking. Flipping the fuel tap to 'Prime' before prodding the kick starter coaxes it into life." Our vendor purchased this example from Kawasaki Huddersfield on the 5th of February 1991 and used it sparingly until 1995 when it went into storage with 2,090 miles on the odometer. These are rare machines and this totally original machine will need recommissioning before use. Sold with the V5.
