The Hans Schifferle Collection 1975 Honda CB350FRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. CB350F-1045668Engine no. CB350FE-1045744Honda followed its sensational CB750 of 1968 with a range of smaller fours, the first of which - the CB500 - appeared in 1971. The half-litre newcomer was just as well specified as its larger brother, boasting an overhead-cam engine, five-speed gearbox, electric starter and disc front brake. A 347cc version appeared the following year catering for riders who valued the refinement of a four yet wanted the lower running and insurance costs of a '350'. Apart from a reduced cylinder bore and detail changes to tyre sizes, gearing, silencers and the rear brake, the CB350F was almost identical to the '500'. At the time, the CB350F was the smallest capacity multi-cylinder motorcycle ever to enter volume production. Produced into 1974, the model was sold in Europe but never officially imported into the UK where the CB350 twin was the factory's preferred offering. The twin was lighter and cheaper to produce but for many customers lacked the smoothness of its four-cylinder stablemate. Currently displaying a total of 20,631 kilometres on the odometer, this example of a Honda only rarely seen in the UK was purchased by Hans circa 2000 and rebuilt by Helmut Lichtenberg. Very nicely presented, the machine has some light surface corrosion and scuffs and would benefit from detailing. Accompanying documentation consists of a German Fahrzeugschein; expired TüV (MoT) certificate and correspondence; sundry invoices; and an owner's manual.

Property of a deceased's estate c.1955 Triumph 498cc 'Speed Twin'Registration no. not registeredFrame no. 58766Engine no. 46 5T 78527Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared in 1937, and the design would prove immensely influential, all of Britain's major motorcycle manufacturers adopting the parallel twin formula in the succeeding decade. And whereas previous vertical twins had suffered from excess bulk, Turner's was lighter and narrower across the crankcase than the contemporary single-cylinder Tiger 90. Performance proved exemplary for a road-going 500, better than 100mph being attainable under favourable conditions. This incomplete post-war Triumph consists of an unidentified swinging-arm frame dating from 1956 and a Speed Twin engine dating from 1946. There are no documents with this Lot, which is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

c.2 Push miles from new 1989 Suzuki RG500 GammaRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. HM31A-106906Engine no. M301-107841•Iconic two-stroke Grand Prix replica•Unregistered and unused•Offered with copies of original paperwork'The 99 rear-wheel horses it produced on Motad's generous, but consistent dyno is 22bhp up on Yamaha's RD500LC, a massive 45bhp more than Honda's 387cc NS400R and only a couple of horses down on the output of its own GSX-R750 stablemate.' – Bike magazine on the Suzuki RG500 Gamma, January 1986. Since the birth of the motorcycle industry, manufacturers have capitalised on competition successes by having one or two 'race replica' models in the range. Before WW2, when single-cylinder four-strokes predominated in Grand Prix racing, the creation of a 'TT Rep' was relatively easy; not so in the modern era of complex, multi-cylinder two-strokes, but that did not stop Yamaha and Suzuki having a go. Honda too, if you count the 400cc NS400R triple. Based on its World Championship-winning RG500 racer, Suzuki's Gamma roadster retained the same square-four engine layout, geared-together crankshafts, and disc-valve induction. A box-section aluminium frame, 'Full Floater' rear suspension, and triple disc brakes completed the picture. More racetrack focussed than Yamaha's rival RD500, the Gamma, with its 130mph-plus top speed, 11.5-second quarter-mile time, and superlative handling and brakes, remains the closest anyone has got to offering a modern Grand Prix 500 for the road. Not surprisingly, the Gamma's similarity to the Grand Prix original meant that many found their way onto the world's racetracks. Bike concluded its test by declaring: '... the Gamma is notably peakier, lighter and more outrageously aggressive than the RD500, the NS400, the GSX-R750 and all other racetrack refugees.' Not surprisingly, the RG500 was an immense success with the seriously speed-addicted, and today this legendary model is highly sought after by collectors of modern Japanese classics. The machine offered here was purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Autumn Stafford Sale in October 2017 and represents a possibly once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire an unused and unregistered example of this iconic Suzuki model. The machine has not been used/run since acquisition and has been kept dry stored in the garage. Accordingly, it will need to be fully re-commissioned to a greater or lesser extent before use. Accompanying documentation consists of copies of the original Suzuki paperwork showing that the machine was invoiced to GS Motorcycles on 7th February 1989, together with copies of the Owner Registration Card, Warranty Card, Dealer Record, and New Vehicle Licence Application.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

The property of the late John Renwick 1972 Renwick-Konig 500cc Wedge Sidecar Racing MotorcycleRegistration no. unregisteredFrame no. none visibleEngine no. MD10•Revolutionary racing outfit•The 2nd Wedge of 15 made•Used and maintained by John Renwick In the late sixties John Renwick designed a radically different racing outfit. It was revolutionary, being the first successful unit construction outfit incorporating hub-centre steering. The prototype was Vincent powered, but in an age when sidecar racing was dominated by BMWs, John switched to Konig's much lighter horizontally opposed four cylinder water cooled two stroke engine which had started life powering a hydroplane. The resulting machine was the Renwick-Konig Wedge. John Renwick and Gerry Boret had known each other for many years through their mutual participation in sidecar competition. Perhaps the Wedge's finest hour was when Gerry and his brother Nick rode the very first machine to 3rd place in the 1972 500cc Sidecar TT. The Borets went on to win the British Championship and contested many continental GPs. A total of 15 Wedges were manufactured in the early seventies, including one for future World Champion George O'Dell. At one point these machines held most of the British circuit lap records, and the Renwick Konig Wedge became the first sidecar outfit to lap the original Silverstone circuit at over 100 mph.The claimed output of the Konig 500cc engine was 84 bhp at 9,500 rpm, but Konig engines weren't the only power units used. According to an article in the August 1974 issue of Motorcyclist Illustrated, Renwick Wedges in preparation at that time were also destined to be powered by Honda CB750, Kawasaki 3 cylinder, and Yamaha TZ750 engines. In contrast to normal sidecar practice of the time, John Renwick's design featured a car type solution for the front end, and a fat low profile front tyre was employed. The wheels were 12' Minilites. The chassis was made from cold drawn seamless tube. A four inch diameter main tube ran front to rear, with a three inch diameter tube running across to carry the sidecar wheel, and if a four stroke engine was used, this was designed to double up as the oil tank. The complete outfit's dry weight, complete with Konig engine, was only 390 lbs.This machine is no. 2 of the production run. It was sold in the mid-1970s but was bought back by John some years later. It then remained in his ownership until his death. John rode it at the 2004 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and in 2006 at the Sidecar Festival at Pukekohe, New Zealand. Following the FIM's 1976 ban on hub-centre steering and various other innovations, John Renwick took a step away from modern sidecar racing, only to return to classic sidecar racing with Prometheus in the following decade. After a period of inactivity re-commissioning will be required before further use. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

Property of a deceased's estate 1952 Sunbeam 500cc S8Registration no. JSL 570Frame no. S8-6347Engine no. S8 10199A wartime design, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with overhead-camshaft engine, shaft drive and plunger rear suspension. The clutch housing and four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine, which was rubber mounted in the duplex loop frame, an innovation that required a flexible joint in the exhaust system ahead of the silencer. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional, and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7' brake were now standard BSA components, and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. Apparently, an older restoration, this S8 was purchased in July 2020 and currently displays a total of 3,143 miles on the odometer. Sadly, the owner never got the chance to ride the 'Beam before he passed away in August 2020, since when it has been dry stored. There is some pitting to the exhaust and the machine would respond well to detailing, though it should be noted that compression is weak. Following a period of inactivity and having not been used since acquisition, its mechanical condition is not known and thus is sold strictly as viewed, the machine comes with a V5C document.

1959 Ducati 175cc Formula 3 Racing MotorcycleFrame no. F512Engine no. *F512*•Ultra-rare, hand-built, limited edition model•Raced by Sonny Angel of San Diego, California•Fully restored by recognised specialists•Previously offered from the Jack Silverman Collection'As early as 1959, in line with their policy of replacing old with new, Ducati phased out its Gran Sport models in favour of the new Formula 3 series. It was to be built in three engines: the 175 (1959-61), the 125 (1959-61) and the 250 (1961-62). All three were pure-bred, hand-built racing motorcycles, built for Italian Formula 3 competition.' – Mick Walker, 'Ducati- The Racing Story'.For the production racing classes, Ducati offered its Formula 3 model in 125cc, 175cc and (later) 250cc capacities. Although visibly similar to their road-going equivalents, these were very different motorcycles featuring sand-cast crankcases and special engine internals, while the camshaft bevels and primary drive featured straight-cut gears. The gearbox was a four-speeder. Lower and lighter than the roadster versions, the frames featured a lowered steering head, shorter forks, and a shorter swinging arm. Brakes were upgraded to racing specification. Ducati quoted a maximum power output of 16bhp for the 175. The Formula 3's first major success came in 1958, shortly after its introduction, when Francesco Villa rode one to victory in the 175 F3 race supporting the Grand Prix des Nations at Monza. In its native Italy the 125 Formula 3 would provide Ducati with regular victories in that class into the mid-1960s. In the USA, works rider Franco Farné travelled the country visiting Ducati dealerships to promote the brand, as well as taking in an extensive programme of racing for which the factory had provided him with a 175 F3 and a 125 Desmo single. At Daytona in March 1959, shortly after arriving, Farné secured a memorable victory in the 250 class riding the 175cc F3. Franco Villa took over in 1960 and continued the successful promotion of Ducati's OHC singles for importer Berliner Motor Corporation.Hand built in small numbers, the Formula 3 Ducatis were necessarily expensive; indeed, in the UK the 175 cost more than a 500cc Manx Norton! Understandably, production of these exotic Formula 3 models was limited, perhaps amounting to fewer than 100, making any genuine example extremely rare today. This genuine Ducati Formula 3 was raced by Sonny Angel of San Diego, California before being enjoyed as part of the private collection belonging to a local discerning enthusiast. It was fully and correctly restored by marque expert Ted Henry of Torrance, California, with Frank Scurria rebuilding the engine before the machine became part of Hollywood photographer, Guy Webster's, collection. It was then acquired by the world famous Jack Silverman Collection until it was purchased by the current vendor at Bonhams' Autumn Stafford Sale in October 2017. The machine has not been used/run since acquisition and has been kept dry stored in the garage. Accordingly, it will need to be fully re-commissioned to a greater or lesser extent before use.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is 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

Property of a deceased's estate 1989 Suzuki GSX-R750 SlingshotRegistration no. G805 OEOFrame no. GR7AA-102138Engine no. R716-105404Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 back in 1985. The Gixxer's development had been heavily influenced by lessons learned from the works TT F1 and Endurance racers; lighter than a 600 and as powerful as a 1000, it made all other super-sports 750s seem flabby and slow. Like its predecessor, this new-for-1988 second generation GSX-R benefited from experience gained in racing, featuring a much stiffer frame and swinging arm; larger-diameter forks; larger front brakes; 4-pot brake callipers; 17' wheels; and a more aerodynamically efficient fairing. The engine had a shorter stoke; bigger valves; larger oil radiator; 4-into-2 exhaust system; and 36mm flat-slide 'Slingshot' carburettors that gave the model its nickname.One of the modern era's few instant classics, the GSX-R750 has been a huge commercial success for Suzuki and enjoys cult status today. Now more than 30 years old, many early GSX-Rs have suffered at the hands of successive owners, a state of affairs that has resulted in well preserved examples becoming increasingly sought after by collectors. Currently displaying a total of 26,794 miles on the odometer, this Slingshot last ran in July 2020 and has been dry-stored since August 2020 when the late owner passed away. There is some corrosion present, and the bodywork shows signs of repairs. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent and thus is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with a V5C document.Footnotes:As with all Lots in the Sale, this Lot is sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness, and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
