Registration No: E319 RRP Frame No: JYA52X001GA007211 MOT: NoneGerman import RZ500Bodywork refreshed, otherwise understood to be mostly originalCorrect numbers bike showing c.14,000 milesDisplayed in a home for 2 yearsKnown as the RD500LC (Race Developed 500CC Liquid Cooled motorcycle) in the UK, with some export examples being named the RZ500. The RD500LC used a 50-degree, twin-crankshaft V4 engine layout. Linked Yamaha YPVS exhaust power valves are controlled by a single electronic unit and servo motor and are designed to give a broader power band. The engine also features intake reed valves, unlike the YZR500 racer which used rotary disc valve induction.Understood to be mostly original, this RZ500 is believed to be a correct numbers bike displaying just c.14,000 miles. Since it has been in the UK (it was imported from Germany in 2016), the current owner has had the fairing repainted and the bike checked over, being used sparingly since. In 2019 the Yamaha was subject to a fair amount of engine and clutch and and gearbox work with a receipt on file. There are receipts for parts that were needed at the time. For some 2 years it has been on display in a house, being run from time to time to keep the oil on the internals. Some light recommissioning is required before placing it back on the road. A current V5C and old German paperwork are on file. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: 9679 TF Frame No: GA10 1431 MOT: ExemptAuthentically restored RGS in touring trimRRT2 stamped gearbox,190mm f/brakeIncludes a good paperwork file and a V5CThe Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around 1900 they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. Their most sought models are the Gold Star range of singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the early 1960s. This excellent Rocket Gold Star has formed part of the Brian Ditchfield Collection for the last ten years, Mr Ditchfield being a retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who has in the past run a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six of the World Championship in 2002. According to the Gold Star Owners Club records, it was first sold by Bill Snape Motorcycles of Accrington in May 1963 and was restored to a very high standard during the 1990s before spending ten years or so as a star exhibit in Ken Bills’ Motorcycle Museum in Rochester. It is presented in touring trim with a RRT2 stamped gearbox, 190mm front brake, 120mph speedo and an 8k tacho. Nothing has been over-polished or chromed where it shouldn't be, a good authentic example of how the bike would have left the factory. Not run for a while, it will need the normal checks prior to use and comes supplied with a Haynes manual, original sales catalogue, sundry old MOTs and current V5C.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: 1730 MOT: ExemptRESERVE REDUCEDMk4 Metisse chassis and bodyworkIncludes MP Forks, front and rear wheelsc.1964 Triumph T100SS 500cc engineRickman Motorcycles was an independent motorcycle chassis constructor established by brothers Derek and Don Rickman in the late 1950s. Both successful off-road riders, they initially made frames for their own use, but before long their competitors realised how much better the brothers’ bikes handled and limited production was set up to build more for sale. Initially, the frame designs were for off-road scrambles and track racing, but by 1966 frame kits for road bikes were being offered. The first street-legal bike used a Triumph Bonneville engine with Rickman only being able to supply frame kits to the public as no major motorcycle manufacturers would sell engines separately. The kits were built to take many engines including Triumph, BSA and Matchless and by the 1970s they began selling chassis kits for Japanese bikes like the Honda CB750 and Kawasaki Z1. Because of the 'cross breed' approach to making complete bikes the Rickman brothers decided to call their first bike the 'Mongrol', but quickly decided the French translation 'Metisse' sounded a bit classier.This interesting project is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history, but with the kind help of Rickman Metisse Historic Register, the chassis has been identified as a Mk4 that was manufactured on 21st October 1969 and sent to Cushworths ready to accept a BSA Victor/Weslake B44 engine. The frame is numbered 1730 and comes with a steel fuel tank and Avon fibreglass seat unit, side panels and air cleaner box. The forks are MP, as used by Rickman in the day, with a conical rear hub and a full-width alloy front brake. The engine is stamped T100SS H35460 suggesting it is from a unit construction 1964 Tiger 100SS, a card with it states the crank has been ground to -20 and the bore is at + 40, although it has not been stripped to check this. It appears that many major components to start a challenging but rewarding build are present, for what is a worthy and iconic 1960s classic project. PLEASE NOTE: From information kindly supplied by the Rickman register, this lot was actually despatched to Cusworths as a frame-kit designed to take a BSA B44/Weslake motor. There are a few more parts included that can be viewed at the documents office if attending the sale. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189
Registration No: LNB 474P Frame No: 109164 MOT: ExemptOne of just 200 producedIn mostly original conditionCherished by the current ownerCurrent V5C is on fileThe Norton Commando John Player Special was a 1974 limited edition version of the Norton Commando that was fitted with bodywork styled to reproduce the successful Formula 750 Works racers that were sponsored by cigarette manufacturers John Player & Sons. Production started in late 1973 and the first bikes were in the dealer's showroom in April 1974. The machines were assembled on the Commando production lines in Andover and Wolverhampton and based upon on the Mk2A 850 Commando. Approximately 200 of these JPS machines were made, of which about 120 were exported to the US. The bike was more expensive than a standard Commando.This 1975 Norton John Player Special has been in the current vendor's ownership for the last five years, it has formed part of a small collection of machines. In his ownership, he has kept the Norton up and running and using it sparingly on dry days for rides out. The Norton is very original, with a few parts purchased from Andover Norton to keep it going. The tank and panel around it have been painted at some time in its life, but the rest of the paintwork is original. A very unmolested John Player Special which you can use. The pipes and cylinders have been changed by the current owner to keep the originals in good condition and are included in the sale. There's a current V5C, receipts for parts and work carried out, Norton Owner's Club correspondence and two sets of keys. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: H855 DTN Frame No: 3KM 001594 MOT: NoneFitted with the Streetfighter-style handlebars and speedoSupplied with many receipts and a few old MOTsIncludes a genuine owner's manual and the current V5CYamaha was formed in 1955 as the motorcycle division of the company more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike was the YA-1, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German-made DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the launch of the YA-2 in 1957. This proved to be an immediate success in sporting events, starting a long tradition of achievement that goes on to this day in Moto GP. Whilst building their reputation on high-performance two-strokes, Yamaha launched the XS-1 650cc four-stroke twin in 1968, matching the performance of the British bikes of the era but in a more reliable and oil-tight way. This led to a full range of four-stroke sports and touring bikes that are still top sellers today.This XJ600, being offered at no reserve, has been part of a small private collection that is now being moved on to make way for other projects. The bike is fitted with a four-into-one exhaust, K&N type air filters, small speedo and braced Streetfighter-style handlebars. It is being offered along with a few old MOTS, receipts, an owner's manual and a current V5C. Not run for a while, it will need recommissioning before use.

Registration No: N361 FWX Frame No: 002064 MOT: NoneSupplied new by an Allan Jefferies dealership2 previous owners from newA very original Ducati 748The Ducati 748 was a fully faired sports machine manufactured by the Italian maker from 1994 to 2003 as a smaller displacement version of the Ducati 916. The bike continued in production until 2002 when it was replaced in 2003 by the Ducati 749. The Ducati 748 was identical to the Ducati 916 in every department, both machines were designed by Massimo Tamburini and shared some design elements with the Ducati Supermono. The only differences between the two machines were the rear tire size, smaller than the 916 model and the engine displacement, smaller than the 916 model. The 748 featured a shorter engine stroke and piston, offering a higher rev ceiling at 11,500 rpm and faster engine acceleration.On offer is a very well presented 1995 Ducati 748 with just two previous owners from new. It was supplied new by Allan Jefferies in Yorkshire. The 748 has evidently been thoroughly looked after by all of its owners and has been on display with the current vendor for the last 13 years. We believe it is 100% correct for the year, very clean and has seen little use, just displaying a mere c.4,601 miles from new. The 748 is offered with a current V5C, two sets of keys and some Allan Jefferies and Datatag paperwork. Some recommissioning will be required before putting it back on the road. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: N/A Frame No: 24RES102 MOT: N/ARare and unrestored Greeves 250 racerOne of only 58 RES models thought to have been madeNew alloy fuel tank, supplied with a CD ROM manualThe Greeves Silverstone was launched in 1963 following the success of Reg Everett's converted scrambler, still utilising their trademark alloy cast down-tube frame and leading-link fork. Priced at £285, the bike became the mainstay of 250cc racing in the 1960s, providing many riders with their first taste of competition. This original example has been entered from the Brian Ditchfield collection, a retired engineer who ran a successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six in the 2003 World Championship. Of the approximately 58 'RES' versions of the Silverstone made in 1967 only 19 are thought to still exist with this one showing an early frame number of 102. It is presented in essentially original trim, still fitted with Dunlop Racing triangular tyres from the era and an un-silenced expansion chamber, although the fibreglass petrol tank had suffered with modern fuel so an aluminium replica has been made that still needs a fuel tank boss fitting to complete. The RES marked the zenith of the Silverstone's development and would continue in unaltered form into 1968, with production of the model ending that year. The bike has stood for a while, so will need recommissioning and comes supplied with various magazines and a CD ROM manual.

Registration No: UNM 768W Frame No: 901076 MOT: ExemptAn iconic Ducati of its timeIn good order for its ageSaid to have been well-maintainedCurrent V5C on fileDucati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine but by the 1960s had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart's win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a long tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. In spite of Ducati's continued success in World Superbike and Moto GP, their most famous victory was Mike Hailwood's amazing victory in the 1978 IOM TT Formula 1 race. After retiring from bike racing in the late 1960s and carrying injuries from his Formula 1 car racing career, he won his comeback race adding to his already legendary status. After Mike's spectacular victory on the NCR Sports Motorcycles Ducati, the factory commemorated his win with the introduction of a race replica based on the 900SS. Originally titled the ‘900 Replica’, the early model was only produced in a limited run of 200 and had a fibreglass cover over a regular 900 Super Sport fuel tank. By late 1980 the next production run had a steel fuel tank but the bike was essentially the same as the 1979 version, including the Brembo Goldline brake calipers and 40mm Dell’Orto carburettors.This 1981 Ducati Mike Hailwood Replica has been with the current vendor since 2015, when he purchased the Ducati from his friend, who subsequently had owned it for over 30 years. The current vendor knew that the original fairing got damaged very early on in its life and it was replaced with a half-fairing which it still has fitted today. It is reported that the machine is mostly original and has been maintained all its life. We have been advised that the machine is running as it should and that it has a current V5C.

Registration No: AE55 CYL Frame No: 5HD4CKM136K403997 MOT: NoneHogbitz HD Sportster based cafe racerXL883R motor with a 1200cc conversionCurvaceous tank sporting a cheeky 'HRD'-style tank logoHarley Davidson was established in Milwaukee in 1903 and has gone on to become one of the world's most iconic and longest-running motorcycle manufacturers. Harleys epitomise large-capacity cruisers; many have tried to copy them but have never managed to match the Harley image and prestige. The Sportster range has been produced continuously since 1957, powered by the classic air-cooled V-twin engine in a simple chassis, the model has formed the basis of many custom specials over the years.This stunning-looking custom bike, being offered at 'no reserve', evokes the spirit of the classic 1960s Norvin or Egli Vincent cafe racer. It appears to have been put together by Hogbitz, starting with a standard XL883R Sportster that has then had a 1200cc conversion, according to the V5C. The chassis has been modified to café racer specifications by fitting bespoke rear sets, clip-on handlebars, alloy mudguards, single sports seat, separate Smiths-style speedo and tacho, twin disc front brakes, two-into-one exhaust with a Gold Star replica silencer and all topped-off with a curvaceous petrol tank sporting a cheeky 'HRD'-style tank logo. This bike really stands out from the crowd and will be a talking point at any bike gathering. It's supplied with some old MOT paperwork and a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
Registration No: SAH 386W Frame No: TS1852 121047 MOT: ExemptAuthentically presented 185cc trail bikeThe best all-rounder of the ER rangeSupplied with a current V5CThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry, moving on to motorcycles after WWII. These proved to be an immediate success and by the early '60s were second only to Honda for output. In the 1970s the TS/GT range of singles, twins and triples was launched, proving to be 'the last hurrah' for the large capacity two-stroke engine, with the TS range of trail bikes from 50cc to 400cc providing many future enthusiasts their first taste of motorcycling. The TS185 proved to be one of the most popular models, offering a bike you could go to work on during the week but enjoy some green-laning at the weekend.This 1981 TS185 ER is presented in authentic condition, still fitted with its original exhaust, silencer and plastics. Not many will have survived the use and abuse that these bikes suffered as perhaps the owner's only choice of essential day to day transport and weekend pleasure use. Part of a small private collection for the last few years, it has not been run for a while, however, it would make a good project to service and recommission over the winter months. It's offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
Registration No: SSJ 576 Frame No: 59710 MOT: ExemptThe Rudge has been owned since 2007A fast late Vintage machine, in good running order and used regularlyThe engine was overhauled by Chris OdlinA current V5C on filePLEASE NOTE: The registration number is: SSJ 576 and not SSY 576 as printed in the catalogue.The Rudge Ulster was made famous by Graham Walker's victory in the 1928 Ulster Grand Prix thus giving the bike its name. It was one of the first occasions a road race had been won at an average speed of more than 80mph, setting a lap record of over 82mph. The bike became the mainstay of road racing in the day, with even Enzo Ferrari running a race team in Italy using Rudge machines. It was supplied ready to race to privateers and was comparatively inexpensive, so the Ulster went on to win many honours in the Isle of Man TT and other international events.This 1937 Rudge Ulster was acquired by its present owner in 2007 as a restored machine, 'SSJ' has been in regular use since. It has been fastidiously cared for and maintained by its enthusiastic owner, with a paperwork file that includes the 2007 purchase receipt along with other receipts, including those for an engine overhaul by Chris Odlin, old MOTs, tax discs etc. Renowned as one of the 1930s ultimate sporting motorcycles, the Ulster needs little in the way of an introduction and 'SSJ' is a fine example of the marque, still in good order throughout and until recently regularly exercised, even the lighting is fully operational. An excellent opportunity to acquire a fine example of the 1930s' most fabled sporting motorcycles and following the ‘usual checks’ will be ready for the road once more.

Registration No: UPB 666 Frame No: RC12072B MOT: ExemptPart of a small private collection.An nteresting history with paperwork detailing itWill need some recommissioningSupplied with a buff logbook and a current V5CThe big V-twin was the fastest motorcycle in the world at the time and with some astute marketing became the bike everyone aspired to own. The Rapide and Black Shadow range have become some of the most desirable and iconic bikes of the era. This Shadow was bought by the previous owner in 1997 who, after buying the bike, discovered that it had a non-matching rear frame member, at some time in the late sixties, a former keeper and his wife had both owned Vincents, this one and a Comet. It appears that in various engine swaps, the swinging arms ended up being transposed, however, in June 2004, following the greatly appreciated help of the Vincent Owner's Club, the then owner was put in touch with a club member who had the original Shadow rear frame. He was quite happy to re-unite the parts with the correct bike and correspondence detailing the exchange is included as well as the two continuation buff logbooks tracking the various changes. Following the reuniting of the rear frame with the engine the VOC issued a Certificate of Authenticity for the Shadow and the original registration number was also re-assigned to the bike, all correspondence with DVLA is included. The upper frame number is not visible. The electrical system has been upgraded to 12v with coil ignition added for much easier starting, it comes complete with a current V5C.
Registration No: HMN 160P Frame No: GK04947 MOT: ExemptThe last version of the classic TridentFitted with a twin disc front brakeManx registered but still recorded by DVLATriumph is one of the most iconic and revered names in the history of motorcycling. Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made its first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released, thus launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. The 3-cylinder 750cc Trident was essentially one and a half 500cc twins and proved to be the last success story for the company, with the bike going on to dominate the early years of the Formula 750 race series. The last development of the Triumph 3-cylinder range was the ’75 T160 with its forward-canted cylinders like those of the BSA Rocket 3, allowing room for an electric starter to be fitted. The bike was totally restyled, but unfortunately, it all proved too late and the cash-strapped Meriden co-op was never able to produce enough of them to make any real difference. Against a backdrop of political and industrial turmoil, the factory closed soon after.This T160V appears to have had 2 owners in Northern Ireland before it was purchased in 2016 by the vendor who lives on the Isle of Man. He had it re-registered there as 'HMN 160P', although it still appears on the DVLA and HPI databases on its original UK number of 'ODY 444R'. It is presented in essentially original trim with just a few sensible modifications to make it easier to use. The front brakes are now twin disc, the electrics have been uprated, a Les Williams oil pressure gauge fitted, wheel rims are now alloy, a lifting handle added and the silencers have been replaced with the more stylish 'Ray Gun' type. It comes supplied with parts and maintenance manuals, an owner's handbook and some old tax disc and MOTs.More images to follow.

Registration No: WFM 951G Frame No: TR25W 4297 MOT: ExemptRESERVE REDUCEDOne enthusiast owner since 19811967 upswept exhaust modelSupplied with a current V5CTriumph, established in Coventry in 1885, made its first motorcycle in the early 1900s, beginning a continuous run of production under various owners until its closure in 1983, eventually enjoying a rebirth in the early 1990s. Triumph was actually taken over by the BSA group in 1953, however, the two companies kept up a fierce rivalry until they began to share designs in the late 1960s in an effort to ward off the onslaught of the Japanese manufacturers. The TR25W Trophy was Triumph's street/scrambler model, a style that was popular in the USA and was launched to replace the Tiger Cub. The bike was based on the BSA B25 range and was built at the Small Heath BSA plant rather than at Triumph’s Meriden factory.This 1967 Trophy, from a deceased estate, was first registered in the UK in 1980, possibly spending its early years in the USA where most of Triumph’s production was exported to at the time. Bought by the enthusiast owner in 1981, it has been stored in a dry garage together with his small collection of mainly 1960s and 1970s Triumphs and BSAs. Restored, keeping a good degree of originality, the Trophy has been stood for a number of years and will therefore require some level of recommissioning. It is being offered with a current V5C.

Registration No: B350 KPM Frame No: 2540 MOT: NoneRare twin headlamp faired modelPresented in original conditionSupplied with a current V5CLaverda's roots go back to 1873 when Pietro Laverda began producing agricultural equipment in Breganza, Italy and like many Italian firms diversified into motorcycles after WWII, manufacturing good quality and innovative bikes. By the 1960s they had progressed onto bigger capacity engines launching the 750GT in 1969 and the SFC production racer in 1971. The 3-cylinder 1000s were launched in the early 1970s to compete against the new breed of Japanese superbikes, with the Jota being the fastest production motorcycle to date. Various models of the iconic triple were produced until the factory ceased production in the 1980s. This Laverda 1000 is from a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. According to the V5C, it was sold new in the UK in November 1984 and is possibly one of the RGA models modified by the importers 3X around that time. The obvious difference is the twin headlamp half fairing with the filler cap in the normal place. It is badged as a RGS Jota, but we have not been able to verify its internal specification. Whichever model, this is a rare bike from the later years of the original company's production, not run for a while it will need recommissioning and comes supplied with a current V5C.

Registration No: OTB 882W Frame No: GS25X 710286 MOT: ExemptCustom-build based on a Suzuki GS250T CustomMany bespoke items including the exhaustSupplied with a spare engineThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry, moving on to motorcycles after WW2. These proved to be an immediate success and by the early 60s were second only to Honda in output. Better known for their two-strokes, Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with the Japanese build quality and performance levels. This launched a full range of four-stroke singles, twins and four-cylinder bikes with the GS/GSX250 being many motorcyclist's first bike.This bespoke 'Brat Bike' has been built around a 1981 Suzuki GS250. The rebuild included powder coating the frame, a bodywork repaint, custom handlebars and light mounts and its crowning glory a curvaceous handmade two-into-one exhaust system, together with many other detail touches. Bought by the vendor early last year and used during the summer, it stopped running in November and the vendor has not had the time and space to investigate the fault, so it is being offered as a No Reserve project.

Registration No: GLY 613 Frame No: 7415254 MOT: ExemptFamily owned since the 1970sRestored by Alan Forbes in 1996Very little use since completionOffered with the V5CThe Indian 741 was designed in 1939 to be used mainly for the US army and the armies of its allies. The 741 had a flathead V-twin based on the civilian Thirty-fifty model the 741 was used mainly by couriers and scouts due to its lack of performance, but was very durable. A hand-change three-speed transmission with a foot-operated clutch is a typical practice for the day. The configuration is very similar to its bigger brother the 750 cc Military Scout (model 640 B), but the 500 is built lighter as regards to both frame and engine. There are also many differences in detail. The 741 production ran for about 6 years till 1944 with about 35,000 machines being made.This 741 B Indian started its life with the Allied Forces at the RAF Airfield at Madley in Herefordshire during WWII. The owner's late father acquired the bike in 1960 and was then registered for the road in 1973. In 1995 it was transported from Herefordshire to Edinburgh and was meticulously restored by the highly respected ‘Indian man’ Alan Forbes of Motolux. This Indian V-twin is a mostly original machine, with the restoration work providing a complete mechanical overhaul, a new chrome silencer, and a new classic saddle seat. The original owner has ridden the bike intermittently since 1996 and there are nearly 400 miles on the clock. There is an MOT certificate from when it was restored, the last tax disc shows 1997. The bike starts easily, runs very well, and has just been checked over. It comes with the original logbook, some correspondence, and Indian Club magazines. Included is a rare copy of the ‘Indian Rider's Handbook’ detailing the mechanics of the Indian Twin and Four models.

The British company's success soon expanded into road racing as well, but they were best known in the US for desert racing prowess thanks to vocal support from legends like Bud Ekins and Steve McQueen. In fact, McQueen himself it “the best handling bike I’ve ever owned!”This is one of the 300 examples of the Métisse Steve McQueen Desert Racer that will ever be made. It was developed by the Métisse Motorcycles team along with Chad McQueen (Steve McQueen’s late son), and Dave Ekins (the brother of Bud Ekins). 300 are officially licensed by the McQueen estate, and they only rarely come up for sale. Purchased as a new machine directly from Mr Lisi as a retirement present by the current vendor, he has covered just over 300 miles since it was purchased and has cherished it since in his ownership. It comes with paperwork, a current V5C, sales literature and a book on the history of the Rickman Brothers and the Metisse story. The vendor fitted a genuine Lucas headlight as he wanted it in Black.

"TT racing” Hilary Hopker (Coventry, UK). Acrylics on Norton 961 fuel tank. This inspiring painting beautifully captures the thrill and excitement of a vintage motorcycle race. Hilary hopes it will appeal to motorcycle enthusiasts and become a fantastic artistic feature and conversational piece in a home or workplace. “In painting this piece I wanted to honour Norton’s proud history. The TT Races were the perfect subject, synonymous as they are with the motorbike. I researched old posters and thought hard about how I could make the most of the curves in the fuel tank. The bold graphic design accentuates the road and I painted the lead bike on the curve so it feels like it’s powering towards the viewer. I added a touch of gold sparkle in memory of Ben, who forever leaves a bit of magic behind him” Hilary is an artist advocate for Pass the Smile, a charitable fund which raises awareness of childhood cancer, and funds research into new treatments for cancer-affected children. Hilary paints in memory of her family friend, Ben Crowther, aged 7, who died in 2019. Pass the Smile is his legacy.For more information, please contact:James McWilliamjames.mcwilliam@handh.co.uk07943 584760
Registration No: P405 XNJ Frame No: DM916S 1010018 MOT: NonePresented in excellent and original conditionA design classic celebrating its 30th anniversaryLow mileage with a history file and a current V5CIn 1971 Ducati's chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the GT750. This proved to be an immediate success with Paul Smart’s winning the 1972 Imola 200 race, beginning a long tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. Launched in 1991, the Ducati 888 was an upgraded version of the Ducati 851. The SP5 was the final creation of the famous 888 before the 916 was launched. The launch of the Massimo Tamburini designed 916 in 1994 revolutionized motorcycle styling and overnight made all of its competitors seem dated, going on to give Carl Fogarty his first Superbike world championship that year. Now celebrating its 30th year, it is often described as the 'the most beautiful bike ever made'.This beautiful 916 has been part of The Brian Ditchfield Collection, a retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who in the past ran a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top 6 in the 2003 World Championship. A bike that would grace any collection, it is presented in excellent and standard condition, still sporting its original Ducati ZDM14 end-cans that were very often replaced in the day. The bike comes supplied with numerous invoices for servicing work carried out over the years, including one from Ducati Technical Services in 2018 for a full service including Dyno runs amounting to £940, and 11 old MOTs together with a current V5C. Not run for a while, it will need the normal checks before use. Even at 30 years old, the 916 still stands out as a stunning-looking bike and is already being considered as a fast-appreciating classic, although not many will have survived in such original condition as this example.

Registration No: Unregistered Frame No: MK2/7 MOT: ExemptBeautifully presented Seeley with some historyShaffleitner 5 speed box and a Seeley front brakeLucas Racing Mag and an Amal T3GP2 carbIn 1966 the well-known sidecar racer Colin Seeley began manufacturing his own range of race bikes using AJS 7R and Matchless G50 engines housed in a lightweight frame of his own design. Initially, a deal was made with AMC to supply motors but they then announced they were stopping production of the power plants. This presented the fledgling Seeley operation with a serious supply problem. Colin's decision to purchase the contents of the AMC racing department and manufacture the engines himself was a bold move at a time when the British motorcycle industry was collapsing around him. With the supply of engines now secured the Seeley concern entered a golden period with their machines becoming the privateer's first choice. This absolutely stunning Seeley G50 has been part of the Brian Ditchfield collection for the last ten years or so. A retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who has in the past run a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing in the top six for the 2003 World Championship, he bought the bike from a private collection in Germany. Reputedly sold new by Colin Seeley to a Mr Lishman in Northern Ireland, the bike was supplied in kit form; most competition bikes were sold as kits to avoid purchase tax at the time. Once assembled it was raced by Abe Alexander on the Irish roads until being sold to a rider from the RAFMCC, possibly John Goodall who was the only member of the club who seemed to have raced a G50 at the time. It then appears to have been owned by Vin Duckett in 1979 until it was passed into the hands of Mick Taberer who kept it for the next 31 years. During that time, it is thought to have been ridden to victory in the 1987 Classic 500 Manx Grand Prix by Dave Pither before being restored back to 1960s specification by Pete Swallow of White Rose Racing. The frame is a genuine Seeley numbered Mk2/7 with a Seeley front brake and Manx rear, wheels are 18in with Manx-type front forks. The engine with its distinctive gold timing cover has a 1½-in Amal T3GP2 carb, Lucas 2MTT mag, Manx clutch and a Shaffleitner 5-speed gearbox. Only used sparingly on classic parades in recent years, it is a perfect example of the last days of the great British single-cylinder race bike that once dominated road racing. Not run for a while, it will need the normal checks before use. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

The British bike industry collapsed in the 1970s and by the early 1980s Triumph went into receivership. British businessman John Bloor bought the name and manufacturing rights with his 'new' Triumph company re-starting production in the early 1990s. They are now re-established as one of the world’s most desirable and best-selling brands. Reviving one of the classic names from the 1960s, the three-cylinder Daytona T595 was launched in 1997 as Triumph's first out-and-out sports model to compete with the likes of GSXRs and Fireblades at the sharp end of the Superbike market, putting out around 128bhp with 75ft-lbs of torque at 9500rpm.This T595 has been in family ownership for much of its life and is presented in good original condition, still fitted with its standard carbon-look end can. Displaying a credible mileage of just 8,218 miles on its speedo, supported by many old MOT certificates, it has been serviced at 562, 4,222, 6,718 and then at 8,213 miles, the last one including plugs, oil and filter and a brake fluid change, passing an MOT on the 14th July this year. Still a good-looking bike, it must surely become a future classic as an example of Triumph's first foray into the cutting-edge Superbike market, normally dominated by the Japanese and Italian manufacturers. It is offered with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

One of the founding fathers was Carlo Guzzi who gave his name to the company and was also the chief designer, always innovative they were very successful in Grand Prix racing with products as diverse as the 350cc horizontal single that won five world championships in a row to the incredible 500c V8. The forward facing cylinder with an outside flywheel became Guzzis signature layout until the arrival of the big vee twins in the late 1960s. The Airone isn’t as well known in the UK as its bigger brother, the 500cc Falcone, but in Italy the 250cc single was the more popular model and was in production from the late 1930s through to 1957.This 1956 Airone looks to have been imported into the UK in 2001 and then registered on an age related number. A distinctive looking bike with its typically Italian red bodywork, unusual rear suspension and horizontal OHV all alloy engine it would have cost about twice as much as a comparable BSA or Triumph in its day, but was obviously more advanced in its design. Not used for a while it will need the normal checks before use but it will stand out at any classic bike show or event and is supplied with a current V5C.

Ltd, one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four (SQ4) designed by Edward Turner, who was looking for work and showing drawings of his engine designs to various motorcycle manufacturers. In the days of predominately single-cylinder engines, a square-four layout was very advanced; the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine had two transverse crankshafts and was essentially a pair of across-frame OHC parallel twins joined by their geared central flywheels, with a four-cylinder block and single head. The idea was rejected by BSA and adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for 20 years.This 1951 Ariel Square Four was purchased by the late vendor almost 20 years ago as a shed find in very original condition. The Ariel had been laid up since 1976 until he purchased it and set about a full restoration of the machine, with an engine overhaul carried out at the same time. The Ariel has been finished to a good standard but has now stood for a few years, therefore, some recommissioning would be required before placing it back on the road. The Ariel is offered with a V5C, old photos of it as a 'shed find' plus parts books from Draganfly Motorcycles (sic).

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The CBR in-line four-cylinder sports bike range was launched in the 1980s and has gone on to win many world championships and TT races in production based series. The CBR750F was made primarily for the Japanese Domestic Market, that had a limit of 750cc at the time, and was distinctive with its gear driven cams as opposed to chain driven cams used on the more common CBR600 and CBR1000 models.This CBR750F Hurricane, being offered without a reserve, is a model that was never officially imported into the UK, with most production staying in Japan. The bike is unusual for being an in-line four with gear driven cams, something Honda tended to use only on their V-fours. Bought by the vendor as a future restoration project, his loss of workshop and storage space means he is now having to let it go to a new home. He ran the bike briefly when he bought it but it has been stood for a while so will need thorough recommissioning. It comes supplied with a spare set of bodywork and some MPH clocks as well as a current V5C. A rare and technically unusual bike to either restore to standard or form the basis of an interesting project.

After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawasaki name in the early sixties, first continuing development of the K1 BSA A10 copy but soon moving on to build a reputation for high-performance 2-stroke twins and triples. In the early '70s, the four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was initially developed as a 750cc to compete with the new Honda SOHC 750, however, Kawasaki held the bike back until it could be increased in capacity to set a new benchmark for Superbike performance. With its DOHC 900cc engine offering a top speed of over 130mph, it easily became the fastest mass-produced bike in the world. In 1986 they launched the Eliminator series of custom-style cruisers with the KL600 using a slightly modified engine borrowed from the more sporty Ninja 600.This Eliminator 600 being offered at 'no reserve', is presented in standard trim including an original chrome exhaust system. A rare model in the UK, it has been stood for a while so it will need some recommissioning before use. The bike is being offered with a service and owner's manual, some spare cables, the old US Title, 20 old MOTs, invoices amounting to over £2,200 for servicing work carried out over the years and the current V5C., For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Yamaha created the V-Max as a two-wheeled equivalent of an American muscle car like a Shelby Cobra, emphasised by the aluminium scoops drawing in air from either side of its dummy petrol tank. This striking-looking V-Max has been part of the Brian Ditchfield collection for the last ten years or so. A retired engineer and lifelong motorcycle enthusiast who in the past ran a very successful Sidecar GP team, finishing second in the World Championship in 2002, Mr Ditchfield was drawn to its excellent, original collection. The V-Max displays a credible 9,700 miles supported by 9 old MOTs. The Yamaha was a bike that many owners modified, so, few have survived in standard condition, including the '3UF-14721' stamped genuine exhaust system. The bike is fitted with some nice quality chrome extras including a pair of engine bars, a rear carrier/backrest and a radiator grille together with a small flyscreen. Run recently, it will need the normal checks before use and is being offered with 2 keys and the V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

It was based on the Triumph Triple series of modular engines, which also powered the likes of the Triumph Trident, Daytona Sport and the Thunderbird retro bike and offered in two forms, a 750 for some European markets and 885 for all other markets. The Speed Triple was originally only equipped with the 885cc engine, but just before significant changes to the bike were made in 1997, some 750cc machines were produced using leftover Euro specification engines.This 2005 Triumph Speed Triple has had one owner from new and was purchased from Eddy Wright's Motorcycles in Leeds by the vendor on the 12th May 2005, at the time adding a few extras such as genuine Triumph race pipes, Triumph fly screen, R&G radiator guards and trickle charger, making this a little different from a standard model. The Speed Triple has been maintained to a good order, with receipts on file for service and parts carried out. The Triumph is offered complete with a current V5C document, two sets of keys, handbooks, old MOT certificates and a sales booklet. Some light checking over may be required before placing it back on the road. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

A major redesign in the late 1960s saw the arrival of an oil-in-frame chassis, developed from the competition machines and a high-level box-shaped silencer, Ceriani-type forks and conical wheel hubs. Marketed as an on/off-road bike, the B25T Victor Trail 250 used most of the components of the 250 Gold Star but with an alloy petrol tank, high-level front mudguard with a 6" SLS front brake. The model was only in production for a year until the financial situation of the BSA Group forced a reduction in the model range for 1972 and the 250s were discontinued.This BSA Victor is part of a deceased estate, so unfortunately not much is known of its history. It is thought to have been bought by its owner many years ago and restored, keeping a good degree of originality, including its distinctive upswept exhaust on its right-hand side. The family has not been able to locate any paperwork or registration documents, so it will need to be registered with the DVLA.

An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WWII, but after the war, Japan required cheap reliable transport so Suzuki, like a lot of others around the world, began to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. These proved to be an immediate success and soon they were making full motorcycles and by the early 1960s were second only to Honda in number of two-wheelers manufactured. Better known for their two-strokes, Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution in 1977 with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with the Japanese build quality and performance levels.This early wire wheel single front disc GS750, being offered at 'no reserve', has been part of a private collection that is now being sold to make way for other projects.

With the backing of his family, wealthy from cattle ranching in Argentina, Vincent acquired the trademark, goodwill and remaining components for £450, renaming the new company Vincent HRD. Initially, motorcycles were sold under the HRD brand name, using their own chassis with proprietary engines, however, in 1934 two new engines were developed, a 500cc single and a 1000cc V-twin. Always the innovator, Vincent now had full control over his products and began introducing many design features that proved to be way ahead of their time, such as cantilever rear suspension. The 1000cc V-twin was 'the fastest motorcycle in the world' at the time and with some astute marketing become the bike everyone aspired to own, the Rapides and the Black Shadows have become some of the most desirable and iconic bikes of the era.This 1951 Vincent Black Shadow is believed to have been fully restored to a very high standard by the current owner's late father. Great care and attention to detail were provided during its restoration. The original crankcases were very badly damaged and beyond repair and a new set was purchased and used for the engine overhaul (according to the vendor this was noted by the VOC at the time of restoration). Components have been stripped, cleaned or replaced where necessary during the restoration. The Vincent is in very good condition due to it being displayed in the house since its completion. It has been taken out and started from time to time since it was restored. Only being sold due to lack of use by the current owner, the Vincent is offered with a current V5C and may require some recommissioning before use.
