1966 Velocette Venom, 499 cc. Registration number GNB 833D. Frame number RS 18833. Engine number VM5344 (see text). The Venom was Velocette’s hottest bike from its inception in 1955. In 1961 factory-prepared Venom with a small fairing set the world's 24-hour endurance speed record of 100.05 MPH at the Montlhery race track in France. The record stood until 2008 for 500 cc motorcycles. The 499 cc Venom was derived from the Velocette MSS. In a field crowded with a new crop of vertical twins from nearly every maker, Velocette simply didn't have the means to join the vertical twin race. They had to make do with what they had, that being a line of very advanced singles. Designed by Eurgene Goodman (son of the owner) and Charles Udall, the Venom engine of 'square' bore and stroke dimensions of 86 x 86 mm had an alloy cylinder with cast iron liner, an alloy cylinder head and a high compression piston. The cam was set high in the crankcase to allow for very short pushrods. This offered some of the benefits of an overhead cam setup, but was much simpler and cheaper to produce. The MSS frame and forks were retained for the newcomer, but full-width alloy hubs were adopted to boost braking power and smart chromed mudguards fitted to enhance the models' sporting image. Manufactured until the end of Velocette production in 1971, the Venom represents the final glorious flowering of the traditional British sports single. GNB was first registered on the 30th September 1966 and its subsequent history is unknown until P. Dawson of Northwich bought it in the July of 1987, as this was the last time it was taxed one presumes it was a non-runner. In April 1990 Britbikes of Bolton bought it and at some point sold it to Mike Hanson, although he never informed DVLA. Earlier this year it was sold on and registered from the old V5 but the buyer has subsequently returned it as he is not happy with the engine number stamping. He has stated that the bike is fitted with Dunlop alloy rims and a Velocette twin-leading shoe front brake. A steel 4 ¼ gallon Clubman tank matches the later fast-back twin-seat. The engine is fitted with a BTH TT manual advance magneto and the early series heavy flywheels. A new Omega piston has been fitted and the cylinder barrel bored to suit. The Velocette clutch and primary chain is retained and drives the prefix 12 gearbox. Sold with the new V5C, buyers should satisfy themselves as to the correctness of the machine.
1998 Jingeng Monkey, 49 cc. Registration number R918 DWX. Frame number TBC. Engine number TBC. Motorcycle genius Soichiro Honda`s original design, the CZ100 `Mini Bike`, still has an enthusiastic following, and an original example are highly collectable. AKA the `Monkey Bike`, by which it was and will be forever known, the first of the line had a 49cc pushrod engine, rigid forks, single seat and 5`` wheels. Soon upgraded to the CZ50M, a sort of de-luxe version, with ohc engine from the step-thru C50 and tartan twin folding seat. Next up was the Z50A which had tele forks, 8`` wheels with knobblies, high level exhaust and you could have a red, blue or yellow colour scheme. That model then morphed into the Z50AK2 which was almost exactly the same and named the `Mini-Trail`. Ironically the Far East motorcycle industry has spent the last four decades cloning Mr Honda`s designs, some official, others not, and there are many copies of the Monkey Bike available on the market today. Indeed the term has become somewhat generic now and can apply to any miniature motorcycle. This example has hardly been used and is currently on a SORN with DVLA, the mileage is only at 24 miles and it still has the plastic on the seat. Sold with the V5C and an MOT until 13th Feb 2020..
c.1953 Francis Barnett Falcon, Project, 197 cc. Registration number not registered. Frame number TM 8210. Engine number 296B 59288 E. After WW2 Francis-Barnett concentrated on the production of lightweight two-strokes powered firstly by Villiers engines, though from 1957 AMC's own power units were fitted to many models. First introduced for 1949, the Falcon used the Villiers 6E 197cc engine, which was housed in a rigid frame with telescopic front fork. In August 1951 the Falcon (together with the 122cc Merlin) was upgraded with swinging arm rear suspension that used dampers of F-B's own manufacture. The model continued in this form up to 1954, latterly with the Villiers 8E engine, when a new frame featuring central enclosure and a dual seat was introduced. The engine with this lot has been rebuilt and has no oil in it. There is no history with this machine that has been in long term storage.
1967 BSA Bantam Supreme, 175 cc. Registration number KTL 286E (non- transferable). Frame number D10 7324. Engine number D10 341. The Bantam was based on the German DKW RT 125, a design that was received as war reparations, with the Bantam as a mirror image so the gear change was on the right side as with other British motorcycles of the period. Over the years the model evolved through the D1 of 1948 to the D3, D5, D7, D10, D14/4 and finally in 1969 the D175. Production ceased in 1971. 1966 saw the introduction of the D10, with 175cc and 3 speed gearbox but with increased power. The electrical system was further revised with a new type of Wipac alternator and rotor. The points were moved from the nearside to a separate housing in the primary drive cover on the offside, apart from this the bikes external appearance was very similar to the late D7 models. There were 2 variants added to the range both with 4 speed gearboxes, high level exhaust and forks with no nacelle but a separate headlamp. The first was the Sports model with Chrome mudguards, a fly-screen and a hump on the rear of the dual-seat. The second was the Bushman, mostly for export, which had 19 inch wheels and a modified frame for more ground clearance. D10 production ceased in 1967. KTL was dispatched from the factory on the 12th May 1967 to T. Cowie of Newcastle on Tyne with a different, although the one fitted is correct for the period. In 2009 it was restored and registered with DVLA in September 2010. In November 2012, whilst in the ownership of Roland Elliott of Louth, it received a comprehensive engine rebuild and in August 2018 our vendor bought it. Work was undertaken on the clutch and gearbox the following month to make them serviceable. It is now being sold due to a lack of space. Sold with the V5C, 2010 MOT, dated certificate and various receipts and notes.
1972 Triumph Trident Project, 750 cc. Registration number MTD 19K. Frame number T150 AG 1080. Engine number T150 TEE 01146. Essentially a 'Tiger-and-a-half', the Triumph and BSA 750 triples were launched in the UK in 1969, just in time to be up-staged by Honda's four-cylinder CB750. Differences between the Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were more than just cosmetic: the two models used different frames and in BSA guise the motor's cylinder block was inclined forwards. Only the Trident survived the Group's collapse in 1972, continuing as the T150V (with 5-speed gearbox) and later the T160 (using the BSA-type engine). The number of important production race victories achieved (notably by the works Triumph 'Slippery Sam') is eloquent testimony to how effective a high-speed road-burner a well-fettled triple can be. Today the models are served by an active owners' club and enjoy an enthusiastic following worldwide. This example was last on the road in 1996 and has been stripped for a rebuild, which has now stalled. The engine has been part dismantled and was found to have a bent crank shaft, also there are no tanks. There are a lot of parts with this bike including a new seat and buyers should check to see what is with the machine. This bike will make a good spring project for the new owner. Sold with the V5C.
1988 Honda XBR 500, 498 cc. Registration number F974 AWW. Frame number PC15 710092. Engine number PC15 710092. The XBR 500 was launched by Honda in 1985 in response to the Yamaha SR500. It is powered by a single-cylinder four-valve engine with the valves arranged radially (the Radial Four Valve Combustion Chamber, or RFVC). Displacing 498 cc and producing 44 hp, the engine, which originated from the Honda XR series off-road models, features a dry-sump, the oil being stored in a separate oil tank below the seat. The steel-braided hoses connecting the oil tank to the engine (clearly visible at the right-hand side of the motorcycle) became a strong visual element. The two exhaust valves enabled the motorcycle to be fitted with two separate silencers. The motorcycle had both an electric start and a kick start which linked to an automatic decompression valve to reduce compression during engine start up. The fuel-efficient engine combined with the large fuel tank capacity provided the bike with a long range between refuelling. The early XBR500 was fitted with Comstar wheels and tubeless tyres. Later models were provided with spoked wheels and tubed tyres. A removable seat cover was also fitted in order to simulate a cafe-racer look. Honda subsequently released a café racer version of the XBR500, the Honda GB500 TT. In May 1990 it was bought by William Davis of Leeds and serviced the next month with a mileage of 2,674. He sold it to David Bolton of Blackburn May 1991 via Allan Jefferies of Shipley for £2,300, when the mileage was 2,700. It was MOT'd in October 1994 at 7,381 miles and serviced at 7,503 miles. It is unknown when our vendor bought it but according to DVLA it was last on the road in 1994 and the current mileage of 7,800 miles which could well be correct considering the unrestored original condition. Sold with a V5, MOT from 1994, and various receipts.
