1939 Velocette KSS MkII, 350cc. Registration number 277 UXC (non transferrable). Frame number KDD8666. Engine number KSS9051The KSS (standing for Kamshaft and the SS for Super Sports) was introduced in 1925 and from the beginning the overhead camshaft K-type stamped its authority on its competitors, its victory in the Junior TT on its first outing establishing its credentials and kick starting a 20 year long distinguished competition career. Velocette introduced the first practical foot-change on the K-type in 1931 and the arrival of the Mk II KSS in 1936 saw significant enhancements. All new for that year was the aluminum-alloy cylinder head with enclosed valve gear, together with the cradle frame and heavyweight Webb forks of the new MSS. In this form the KSS was to remain in production until late 1947, heavy production costs contributing to its demise.A touring version, the KTS was also developed with 19-inch wheels and matching mudguards. In 1936 Velocette developed the KSS Mk II, which had a Mk V KTT based chassis and a new engine with an alloy cylinder head.From the Velocette Owners Club website, according to the Factory Despatch Book 6, it would appear that KSS/KTS engines with engine numbers 8016 – 9243, left the factory between May 1937 - Sept 1940. UXC’s engine number of KSS9051 putting it in 1939.In 2004 John Andrew of Barton owned it, selling it in 2008. Our vendor bought it as a nearly finished project from these rooms in March 2021 when it came from a deceased estate auction. He then had to strip the engine as the wrong piston had been fitted, along with many other issues he got it on the road and enjoyed a summer of riding. It is now surplus to his requirements and is being moved on. He reports that the points need some adjustment to make it run smoothly.Sold with the V5C and recent receipts for £753 for parts bought to make it rideable. It uses KTS mudguards instead of KSS ones.

1966 BSA Bantam D7, 172cc. Registration number LHU 590D. Frame number D7.4708. Engine number FD7 3597.Many a now-mature motorcyclist's first two-wheeled experience will have been gained aboard a BSA Bantam, a model that was produced in various forms for over 20 years. The introduction of the first 172cc model - the D5 - for 1958 marked a number of developments, the most important of which were a stronger big-end bearing and improved lubrication. A raised compression ratio and larger carburettor increased maximum power to 7.4bhp and the top speed to 59mph. Introduced for 1959, successor D7 model - known as the Bantam Super - featured the 172cc engine while boasting a new frame, hydraulically damped front fork, bigger brakes and up-swept handlebars.LHU was restored by a Mr Hart of Melton Mowbray c.2004 with an engine rebuild, including a plus 30 piston, the frame and tin ware were stripped and powder coated, it was then MOT'd at 16,725 miles, it moved to Bryan Price in 2007 and then Robert Battersby in 2008. The last MOT was in 2022 at 17,623. It has recently been ridden.Sold with V5C, MOT's mentioned and receipts for works undertaken in 2004.

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.

2004 Royal Enfield 499cc Bullet Sixty-5Registration no. YN04 RYPFrame no. ME3ABBDB53C000199Engine no. 3BFS50199BThis electric-start Bullet '500' comes with numerous invoices from marque specialists Hitchcock's Motorcycles Ltd totalling over £3,000, including some for performance parts (cams, valve springs, forged piston, Amal 32mm carburettor, etc). Accessories fitted include a centre stand, a rear-set kit, and a nitrous oxide injection system! Acquired by the vendor in 2012, the machine has not been run for several years and will require re-commissioning before further use. Sold strictly as viewed, it comes with a workshop manual, service guide, owner's manual, and the electric start and 5-speed gearbox supplement. Accompanying documentation includes three MoTs (most recent expired 2009), a V5C registration document, and the aforementioned invoices. It should be noted that the MoTs show the recorded 'mileage' total decreasing and changing from kilometres to miles, so the actual distance travelled since new is uncertain.

1995 Yamaha YZF750R GenesisRegistration no. M880 KPDFrame no. YM *4HD-015141*Engine no. *4HD-015141*Having added FZR600 and FZR1000 models to its 'race replica' portfolio in the late 1980s, Yamaha eventually got around to doing the same for the 750 class, launching the all-new YZF750R and YZF750SP in 1993. All at once Yamaha had the most power and least weight in the class (133bhp and 195kg) courtesy of an improved version of the OW01 production racer's five-valves-per-cylinder engine and the latest iteration of the Deltabox aluminium alloy beam frame. Indeed, the YZF750 occupied the same amount of space as the FZR600 while offering FZR1000 power. With a racier specification than the track-focussed OW01 – shorter wheelbase, sharper steering geometry, and six-piston brakes (a sports bike first) – the YZF750 was quite simply the class of the field. A 'homologation special' intended primarily for the World Superbike Championship, the SP version came with Keihin flat-slide carburettors, a close-ratio gearbox, digital ignition system, fully adjustable suspension, and a solo seat among other modifications. This UK-market YZF750R was purchased by the vendor in June 2019 and has not been run since then. Re-commissioning will be required before further use. Accompanying documentation consists of sundry bills, an expired MoT (2012) and a V5C.

1972 Suzuki GT750JRegistration no. EOH 502KFrame no. GT750-21794Engine no. GT750-21803The current vendor purchased this GT750 circa 2012 and has taken the last 10 years to restore it. A USA model, the machine was stripped down to the last nut and bolt and the frame blasted and powder coated, while the engine was dismantled and vapour blasted. The cylinder bores were fine, only requiring a hone to help bed-in the new piston rings. The crankshaft was sent to a specialist; all the bearings were fine except for one, which was changed. All the seals were changed and the crankshaft reassembled, while the water pump was replaced with a new one. All the exhausts were re-chromed and a lot of the other chrome parts re-plated. The wheels were rebuilt with stainless rims/spokes and chromed brass nipples, and fitted with new tubes, rim tape and tyres. The Suzuki was originally Candy Jackal Blue, which had faded in the sun when it lived in Florida. A re-spray was carried out in Gold Candy, which was a standard colour in Canada and Switzerland but not the UK where blue and pink were the only colours available in 1972. Electronic ignition has been fitted and the seat re-covered. Accompanying documentation includes a VJMC dating letter, V5C Registration Certificate and a box of receipts including the bill for crankshaft reconditioning.

1982 Matchless Metisse 498cc G80CSFrame no. 28141Engine no. 57/G80CS34028The Rickman brothers came up with their Metisse in 1959, and subsequently developed a Mark 2 version in 1960. Although both Mark 1 and Mark 2 versions achieved success, they were conscious that to remain ahead of the pack, they needed to innovate and improve their product. Thus, the next step in development was to make their own frame in Reynolds 531 tubing, heralding the Mark 3 in 1962. The Mark 3 also saw the start of the competition Matchless engine as a power plant. In the 1980s, when the Rickman's interest in the competition motorcycle side of their business had taken a back seat, the stock was disposed of, and eventually came into the possession of Pat French, who created MRD Metisse to produce frames and machines for the burgeoning pre-65 market.Believed to be one of the MRD Metisse machines, this example was purchased by the vendor around 2004. He advises us that the bike features an all-alloy short stroke 500 Matchless motor, with an 81mm BSA slipper piston, 9.5 to 1 compression, a polished conrod and crankshaft, gold star profile camshafts and Ken deGroom engine parts. Ignition is by a Lucas SR1 magneto, carburetion a 34mm Amal Concentric, Ceriani forks, and Marzocchi shock absorbers. The owner has used the Metisse regularly for 1 or 2 pre-65 motocross events per year, until 2018, and will ensure that it is in running order for the time of sale, and should therefore only need a basic check-over prior to future use. There are no documents with this machine.Key not requiredFootnotes: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

Property of the late Warrick Blackwell c.1975 AMF Harley-Davidson 250cc Grand Prix Racing MotorcycleFrame no. 250/2C/2T/10153Engine no. 250/2C/2T/10153•Rare Grand Prix racing motorcycle•Offered for re-commissioning/restoration•Large quantity of sparesWith the competitiveness of its over-the-counter single-cylinder four-stroke racers rapidly diminishing as the 1960s progressed, Aermacchi (by now part of AMF-owned Harley-Davidson) had no option but to develop a new generation of two-stroke machines. They started out with a simple piston-ported 125cc single in 1967, which was doubled up to form a 250cc twin in 1969 and later a similar 350. Delays meant that the new 250 did not see its first race until March 1971, when Renzo Pasolini finished a promising 7th place at Modena despite crashing. Weighing the same as the 250cc pushrod single but with an extra 11bhp on tap, the two-stroke represented a huge leap forward; indeed in 1972 it garnered three Grand Prix wins for Aermacchi and Pasolini, who lost the 250cc World Championship by a single point to Yamaha's Jarno Saarinen. Pasolini's tragic death in 1973 put the brakes on Aermacchi's racing effort that year, and when the new two-strokes returned to the track in 1974 they were badged as AMF Harley-Davidson, Aermacchi having severed its links with the motorcycle business. A water-cooled version of the 350 had appeared in 1973, and this innovation was applied to the 250 in time for the 1974 season. Riders that year were Frenchman Michel Rougerie and Spaniard Walter Villa. By the season's end, Villa had secured four Grand Prix victories to bring the Varese factory its first World Championship, a feat he repeated in '75 and '76, adding the 350 crown in the latter year for good measure. By this time, the 250 was producing 58bhp and the 350 70 horsepower. This marked the high point of the strokers' development, as the cash-strapped factory could no longer afford the expense of running a Grand Prix team. Villa was forced to contest the 1977 season as a privateer, finishing 3rd in the 250cc World Championship behind team-mate Franco Uncini in 2nd place. This rare example of AMF Harley-Davidson's Grand Prix 250 is sold strictly as viewed, its condition, completeness and history being unknown. The machine comes with a sizeable selection of spares (some NOS) including cylinder heads and barrels, sprockets, carburettors, water pump and sundry other parts.
