1990 Suzuki GSX-R750L 'Slingshot'Registration no. G934 AVTFrame no. GR7AA-100744Engine no. R716101096Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 back in 1985. The 'Gixxer's development had been strongly 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. Offered here is one of the most desirable early variants: the 'L' model, which reverted to a extensively revised 'long-stroke' engine (the 1988 and '89 models had a short-stroke motor) while adding 'upside-down' forks, Nissin 4-pot floating front brake callipers, and a 1' wider rear wheel rim to the package. It is also the last version to have the classic twin headlights.This well-maintained Gixxer has had three owners since new and has recently received comprehensive service. With only 36,841 miles on the odometer, it boasts a fresh oil filter, new spark plugs and a recently replaced battery as of August this year. The Slingshot comes complete with a V5C registration document, invoices, warranty card, service book, and owner's manual together with two sets of keys. The vehicle was purchased by the current vendor in 2019 and has been kept in good condition and comes with an MoT until August 2025.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1973 Honda CB350FRegistration no. WWE 410LFrame no. CB350F-1021285Engine no. CB350FE-1034993Honda followed its sensational CB750 of 1968 with a range of smaller fours, the first of which - the CB500F - 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. The CB350F offered here was first registered in the UK on 1st August 2021 and has had one former keeper in this country. The machine has been restored and is very nicely presented; however, it has not been started by the vendor and will require recommissioning before further use (the engine turns over). The machine is offered with a V5C document and is sold strictly as viewed.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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Property of a deceased's estate1953 Sunbeam 489cc S7 DeluxeRegistration no. SRB 521Frame no. S7 6647Engine no. S8 10823A wartime design by Erling Poppe, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer, 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.This particular S7 comes with an old-style buff logbook showing that it was first registered on 5th January 1953 by Derbyshire CC and resided until 1962 in Chesterfield. From 1972, the Sunbeam would appear to have moved to Sheffield where it was acquired by the lady vendor's late husband in 1981. A current V5C is present also. Not run for some time, the machine will require careful recommissioning before returning to the road.

Property of a deceased's estate 1928 Brough Superior '1,134cc' SS100 Alpine Grand Sport Registration no. YV 5550 Frame no. 969 Engine no. JTO/C 2945/T •The most desirable of Vintage-era motorcycles •Present ownership since 1982 •Matching numbers •Little used during the present ownership Legendary superbike of motorcycling's between-the-wars 'Golden Age', Brough Superior – 'The Rolls-Royce of Motorcycles' - was synonymous with high performance, engineering excellence and quality of finish. That such a formidable reputation was forged by a motorcycle constructed almost entirely from bought-in components says much for the publicity skills of George Brough. But if ever a machine was more than the sum of its parts, it was the Brough Superior. W E Brough's machines had been innovative and well engineered, and his son's continued the family tradition but with an added ingredient - style. The very first Brough Superior MkI of 1919 featured a saddle tank - an innovation not adopted by the rest of the British industry until 1928 - and the latter's broad-nosed, wedge-profiled outline would be a hallmark of the Nottingham-built machines from then on. Always the perfectionist, Brough bought only the best available components for his bikes, reasoning that if the product was right, a lofty price tag would be no handicap. And in the 'Roaring Twenties' there were sufficient wealthy connoisseurs around to prove him right. One such was T E Lawrence – 'Lawrence of Arabia' – who owned several Broughs and was critically injured whilst riding an SS100. Introduced in 1922, the JAP-powered SS80 achieved instant fame when a racing version ridden by George became the first sidevalve-engined machine to lap Brooklands at over 100mph. With the new SS80's performance threatening to put the overhead-valve MkI in the shade, it was decided to completely redesign the latter. The result was the legendary SS100. First shown to the public in 1924, the SS100 employed an entirely new overhead-valve 980cc JAP v-twin engine. A frame of duplex cradle type was devised for the newcomer, which soon after its launch became available with the distinctive, Harley-Davidson-influenced, Castle front fork patented by George Brough and Harold 'Oily' Karslake. And just in case prospective customers had any doubts about the SS100's performance, each machine came with a written guarantee that it had been timed at over 100mph for a quarter of a mile - a staggering achievement at a time when very few road vehicles of any sort were capable of reaching three-figure speeds. With this level of performance available in road trim, it was only to be expected that the SS100 would make an impact on the racetrack, particularly the ultra-fast Brooklands oval, and the exploits of Brough Superior riders - among them Le Vack, Temple, Baragwanath, Fernihough and Pope - did much to burnish the marque's image. When Brooklands closed forever at the outbreak of WW2, Noel Pope's Brough Superior held both the sidecar and solo lap records, the latter at an average speed of 124.51mph. Success in an altogether different branch of motorcycle sport resulted in one of Brough's most iconic models: the SS100 'Alpine Grand Sports' or 'AGS'. Introduced in September 1925 for the 1926 season, this new machine took its name from the Austrian Alpine Trial, the 1925 event having been contested by a number of SS100s, one ridden by George Brough himself, resulting in the award of six cups, including one for 'Best Performance'. The introduction of the Alpine Grand Sports coincided with that of a new frame for the SS100, and the AGS came as standard with a lower compression ratio (making it more suitable for touring), a small fly-screen and a pair of tool boxes. Brough entered the 1930s with an entirely JAP-powered range and then in 1936 the SS100 was redesigned with an engine built by Associated Motor Cycles, in which form it continued until production ceased in 1939. Lighter and faster than the subsequent Matchless-engined version, the JAP-powered SS100 has long been regarded as the ultimate incarnation of this famous model. Perhaps every enthusiast's and collector's dream is to find a hidden gem in a barn or garage, and what we have here is perhaps one of the most exciting of them all: a Brough Superior SS100. Hidden away by its secretive owner, this example had not seen the light of day for decades until it was recently disinterred from its resting place (the last tax disc expired in 1978). Once the tyres had been inflated, the Brough gracefully rolled out of the garage, ready for a new owner to enjoy. But what is also amazing about 'YV 5550' is that not only is it a matching-numbers example of one of the most desirable motorcycles ever, but it also has a full and fascinating history. The copy Works Record Card confirms that the SS100 retains its original frame, engine and fuel tank no. 1901 (nb the frame number was initially stamped with the first '9' upside down before being corrected at the factory). Its specification included a Binks twin-float carburettor, Lucas magdyno, Klaxon horn, Pilgrim oil pump, two prop-stands, Terry saddle, and plated mudguards with black centres. The first owner of this exceptional machine was Shell Mex Ltd, the registered keeper being one Malcolm Vincent Ambler, Chief Motor Engineer at Shell Marketing Ltd. Presumably, the machine was his 'company vehicle,' or perhaps it was used for marketing and promotional purposes. This remains unclear; however, in 1931 the Brough was resold to P Platts in Manchester, probably the motorcycle dealer Percy Platts of Oldham, Manchester. The Brough Superior Club also records the Oldham-based daredevil speedway rider, trade unionist and Communist Party member Clem Beckett (1906-1937) as another owner of 'YV 5550' (Platts garage was located on the same stretch of road as Beckett's garage). Beckett gained fame in speedway, winning the Golden Helmet at Owlerton Stadium, and founded the Dirt Track Riders' Association to help protect riders' rights. A committed communist and anti-fascist, Beckett volunteered for the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War, where he served as a machine gunner. He was killed in the Battle of Jarama in 1937 while covering his comrades' retreat. Another interesting former owner is one Harry Biggs, who is referenced in a 1955 article in The Motor Cycle about 'YV 5550' entitled 'A Brough Day in the Hills.' The then-owner was Harry Muckalt, while the author of the article, and Muckalt's sidecar passenger, was R D Humber (copy article on file). In the very first paragraph, it states 'YV 5550' had been the property of Harold 'Harry' Biggs – qualified engineer, tuner, and Brooklands competitor on various makes - who worked for Duzmo, Alfa Romeo British Sales, JAP, Frazer Nash, Automobile Supertuners, and Marshall Superchargers among others. While with Supertuners he worked on one of Sir Henry Segrave's 2-litre Sunbeams. Biggs had commenced his career in the tuning department of G H Tucker, the Bristol-based Norton specialist, and in a 1942 article in Motor Sport magazine, Biggs recalled that Tucker had received one of the first SS100 Brough Superiors.

The Robin Spring Collection1985 Honda NS400RRegistration no. C609 JGF Frame no. NC19-2001740 (see text) Engine no. NC19E2002156Multi-cylinder two-stroke Grand Prix replicas were much in vogue during the mid-1980s, as first Yamaha and then Suzuki sought to exploit their links with the racetrack. Honda too were players in this niche market, but somewhat surprisingly chose to make their GP look-alike a 400 rather than a 500 like those of their rivals. Despite giving away 100cc, the NS400R looked every bit as convincing as Yamaha's RD500LC and Suzuki's RG500 Gamma, and had the advantage of being both lighter and more compact than either. Introduced for 1985, the NS400R boasted a three-cylinder engine like Freddie Spencer's 1982 World Championship-winning NS500 while being notable as Honda's largest two-stroke roadster and its first with an aluminium frame. It was also one of the best-handling roadsters of its day. An instant classic, the NS400R is one of the most sought after of 1980s sports bikes.Robin Spring tells us that this example, currently displaying just 2878 recorded miles, was worked on by renowned specialist Nigel Everett, some years ago, but has not been used since. Following a period of storage recommissioning will be required be required before further use. It should be noted that the frame number on the plaque is 'NC192001061', while the headstock is correctly stamped 'NC19-2001740'.

1979 Honda CB650 CombinationRegistration no. WWL 470TFrame no. RC03-2017962Engine no. RC03E-2018087Introduced in 1979, the CB650 was one of the final four-cylinder models to use the single-cam engine that had first appeared in the legendary CB750 of 1968, Honda already having moved on to twin cams and four valves per cylinder for its larger motorcycles. The CB650 was derived from the middleweight CB550 model, whose frame it shared, but was bored out to 626cc. Lighter and more compact than Honda's contemporary 750s, it gave little away to its larger siblings in all-round performance. Acquired in 2005, this CB650 (displaying 22,583 miles to the odometer) was previously registered overseas and not UK registered until 1992 and is accompanied by a Squire sidecar. It is not known when the machine was last used, is missing its RH side panel and is sold strictly as viewed. Offered with V5C, old V5C, old V5, a selection of SORN's and a receipt for indicators.

2001 Honda 499cc CB500SRegistration no. OU51 MWNFrame no. ZDCPC32E0 YF322835Engine no. PC26E2507853This Honda CB500S was purchased in August 2011 in Staffordshire as a lighter alternative to the lady vendor's Harley Davidson Sportster (also in this sale). According to our vendor, the Honda has proved to be a reliable and faultless bike: easy, comfortable and uncomplicated to ride both in traffic and on tour. The vendor rode the Honda regularly until November 2019, covering a trouble-free 5,500 miles in that time. Described by her as 'a great middleweight machine', the Honda has always been garaged. The after-market, street legal Beowulf exhaust is said to emit a very pleasing tone, while the machine also boasts a Scottoiler, bespoke luggage rack, fabric panniers, and an expandable top bag. Sadly, our vendor's age has forced her to give up riding, but she feels that this versatile Honda, with only 13,430 miles recorded, deserves to motor on. Accompanying documentation consists of a current V5C Registration Certificate, MoT to 17th January 2025, Honda warranty and service booklet, and Beowulf silencer lifetime guarantee paperwork. The original exhaust system is included in the sale.Footnotes: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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1951 Triumph 498cc Speed TwinRegistration no. not registeredFrame no. 4553NAEngine no. 5T 4553NAAlthough Edward Turner's Triumph Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be. True, there had been vertical twins before; indeed, Turner's predecessor at Triumph - Val Page - had designed one a few years previously, but the Coventry firm's newcomer established a formula that would be adopted by all of Britain's major motorcycle manufacturers 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, and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single. Performance proved exemplary for a road-going 500, better than 100mph being attainable under favourable conditions. Boasting Triumph's newly introduced telescopic front fork and the Turner-designed sprung hub, this Speed Twin was imported from the USA and has been restored (the engine turns over). The odometer reading of 106 miles is presumed to be the distance travelled since restoration. The machine is offered with a State of Colorado Certificate of Title incorrectly recording the VIN as '5T453NA'. There is no UK registration document with this Lot but this machine is offered with a NOVA declaration.Footnotes: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.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 12 October starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
The David Collier Collection1982 BMW 980cc R100RSRegistration no. CBM 45XFrame no. 6079546Engine no. 6079546•Two owner example•Supremely practical touring motorcycle•Krauser panniers have been fitted from newThe R100RS was a groundbreaking motorcycle. BMW had been regarded as manufacturers of expensive, beautifully built, but fairly staid motorcycles. If the earlier R90S had broken the mould, the R100RS took it a whole stage further. Its wind tunnel designed fairing allowed prolonged 100+mph cruising with a top speed of about 125. With 70 bhp, a weight of 208 kgs, and a tank capacity of 24 litres, it could undoubtedly go the distance, and was the connoisseur's choice from the late 70s until the mid 80s. Today, over 40 years later, it remains a supremely practical touring motorcycle without the extra bulk which characterises the full-on RT version. It is reckoned that the 1981-1984 models were the best, benefitting from a variety of improvements including electronic ignition, a lighter flywheel, and better brakes.According to the accompanying V5 David is the second owner of this RS, having acquired it in July 1985. The displayed mileage of 39,408 is confirmed by multiple MOT certificates, the oldest being issued in 1985 (mileage then 3,371), and the most recent in 2021 (mileage 39,345). It is supplied with its rider's handbook which includes the service record. This has been stamped by the supplying dealer for its first service. In the current ownership it has been regularly serviced by David's company, David Collier Ltd, and the book updated accordingly. It is accompanied by comprehensive service notes, including full details of David's trips and journeys. We are told that the Krauser panniers have been fitted from new. In his ownership he has fitted useful fairing inner bags, a big foot side stand, heated grips (small switch on dash), new fuel lines, and a new battery (July 2024).
