Registration No: SGS 285W Frame No: 17721 Engine No: 14838 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptWell-presented and maintained lightweight tourerUsed in Guzzi Club events and the Tour Des ColsSupplied with a lots of paperwork, receipts and a V5CMoto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. After mainly producing single cylinder designs for their road bikes Moto Guzzi launched the 750cc V7 in 1969 to satisfy the demand for larger capacity bikes and the iconic transverse shaft drive vee-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35 and V50 models were launched as lightweight versions of the bigger capacity V-twins introducing an entirely new group of riders to the mystique and cachet of the Moto Guzzi brand.This V50, part of a Moto Guzzi enthusiast private collection, has enjoyed various modifications under his ownership to make it a more practical and comfortable lightweight Tourer. The bike has been maintained to a high standard, used mainly for VMCC and Moto Guzzi club events and taking part in the Pyrenees Tour des Cols in 2015. Acquired by him as an unfinished ‘project’ in 2012, it was treated to an engine overhaul including new barrel/piston kits, head and carb overhaul, a new breather system and K and N air filters. A new clutch plus a new starter motor (late geared type) were fitted with a new drive shaft/universal joint. A taper roller steering bearing conversion replaced the ball and cup originals and the bike refinished in Black and Gold paintwork with a Monza handlebar fairing and V65 lowers. A full brake caliper overhaul was carried out with new pads/discs, a Monza master cylinder and an overhaul of the original “linked” foot brake master cylinder, with Goodridge brake hoses all round. A Keihan stainless exhaust system and sump extension were practical additions. The bike is fitted with an Electrex World regulator-rectifier, better suited to the Moto Batt Gel Mat battery, Oxford heated grips and a Garmin GPS mount. The finishing touches are a new Elektronik Sachse electronic ignition and full carburettor overhaul in 2023. Included in the sale is a full maintenance/service record covering current ownership with parts receipts, a workshop manual and electronic ignition instructions /warranty information, spare cables, some service spares and the original V50 parts including the round headlight, Bosch electronic ignition system and original regulator -rectifier.

Registration No: HSV 300 Frame No: ES 626 Engine No: XJ 616 CC: 1000 MOT: ExemptPurchased by the vendor over 30 years agoPrevious been in South AfricaRestored to a good standardNow with an older V5 Registration DocumentAs Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner, who at the time 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 and the bike stayed in production until the late 1950s. The engine with two transverse crankshafts 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 for the engine was rejected by BSA but adopted by Ariel, becoming their prestige model for the next 20 years.This C1954/5 Airel Square Four was purchased by the vendor some 30+ years ago as to go into his collection. It has been restored very well and is showing little sign of use since completion. In its striking Black and chrome livery and some very special straight-through silencers. Recommissioning will be required before use. The Ariel comes complete with an old style V5 For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

A key feature of the ST70 is the T-bone pressed steel frame that distinguishes it from the Gorilla and the Monkey-bike. As a general description, the ST-series bikes have a bench-style saddle, small fat tyres, and folding handle bars. They have an air-cooled 4-stroke engine with either a 3-speed semi-automatic transmission with an automatic centrifugal clutch or a 4-speed manual gearbox. With power at 6hp and a top speed of 75kmh, they did not qualify in all markets for on-road use.This 1971 Honda ST70 is a UK-supplied machine from new, it was purchased secondhand in 1980 for the vendor’s kids to use but they soon lost interest and it was placed into the garden shed where it has lay dormant until 2024. A mostly original Honda ST70 which could easily be restored or brought back up and running as it is. It comes complete with its handbook and the V5C has been applied for and should be here in time for the auction. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: PHH 474P Frame No: 3329 Engine No: 6384 CC: 49 MOT: ExemptExtremely original and standardIn fully working order at time of consignmentV5C for use on UK roadsFantic Motor began in 1968 manufacturing Enduro motorcycles, mini-bikes and go-karts. They began exporting 50cc machines to the UK in 1972 as part of the wave of motorcycle exporters who saw a market with the new 16 year old legal legislation. The TI Turismo Internazionale became popular very quickly and had a reputation as one of the fastest mopeds on the market. The six-speed gearbox and perky Italian Minarelli engine proved to also be very reliable with a claimed 70mph although more realistically a credible 50-55mph was achievable. Still impressive for a moped.This TI was imported from Italy in 2022. Our vendor informs us it was bought from a father who had purchased it for his son who had hardly used it. The condition is therefore in our opinion very good and believed completely original. The paint looks very good all over. The bike started easily and we were able to see it running without issues at the time of consignment. For more information, please contact: Paul Diamond info@vintagescooters.co.uk 07768 313001

Registration No: WO 3292 Frame No: H2621 Engine No: 2286 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptAuthentically presented Ariel Model F 500Enthusiast owned Banbury eligible bikeSupplied with a paperwork file and a V5CLike a lot of British motorcycle companies, Ariel began producing bicycles in the late 1800s eventually progressing onto motorcycles in 1902. In the 1920/30s their design department included the likes of chief designer Val Page, Edward Turner and Bert Hopwood and it was Page who laid down the basics of Ariel’s four-stroke singles range when he moved the magneto behind the engine in 1927 and established the layout of Ariels singles for the next 30 years. After a typically rocky few years for manufacturers in the early part of the century, in 1932 Jack Sangster bought Ariel from the receivers at a bargain price. The company was renamed Ariel Motors (J.S.) Ltd, and promptly resumed production in a new factory in Selly Oak Birmingham and one of their first bikes produced was the Ariel Square Four designed by Edward Turner followed by the Ariel Red Hunter.The Model F, first registered in Monmouthshire, was quite an advanced bike in its day sporting twin exhaust pipes ending in fishtail silencers, with a riveted-on badge saying they have the AA’s seal of approval. Bought by the enthusiast owner in 2002 and restored by him, keeping a good degree of originality over the next few years, he has competed in many Banbury Runs since. Not run for a while it will need some recommissioning before use and it comes with a file of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information, old MOTs and tax discs and a current V5C.

By the 1970s they had become the most popular bike for long-distance touring due to the torquey engine and shaft drive transmission. With their solid design and legendary reliability, mid 1970s ‘Airheads’ have become the most popular bike for modifying into ‘Brat Bikes’ or ‘Cafe Racers’ in recent years so it's rare to find one in standard original condition. The R80ST was the more touring orientated version of the dual purpose R80GS.This R80ST, presented in good original condition, has been part of a private collection for the last few years. Bought by the vendor in 2018 and ridden occasionally by him since, it is now being offered for sale to make space for his other bikes. Not much is known of its history and the MOT records show its mileage of 45,188 in 2017 dropping to 20,687 in 2018 when presumably it had a secondhand speedo fitted that now reads 21,250. The bike comes fitted with a pair of genuine BMW panniers on a chrome carrier frame. A good useable example of BMWs unburstable flat twin range that will surely become a future classic, run recently (see video) it may need a new battery before use and includes a current V5C.

Registration No: 634 FXB Frame No: RS17268 Engine No: VM3591 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptClubman TLS front brake, tachometer and alloy rimsUsed extensively for touring and Vintage ralliesSupplied with a large paperwork file and a current V45CVelocettes were produced by Veloce Ltd in Hall Green, Birmingham between 1904 and 1971. Velocette was a family-owned firm selling almost as many hand-built motorcycles during its lifetime as the mass-produced machines from the likes of Triumph and Norton. Veloce, while small, was a great technical innovator and many of its patented designs are commonplace on motorcycles today including the positive-stop foot shift and swinging arm rear suspension with hydraulic dampers. Renowned for the quality of its products, the company was "always in the picture" in international motorcycle racing from the mid 1920s through to the 1950s, culminating in two 350cc World Championship titles and its legendary, and still-unbeaten, record of averaging over 100mph for 24 hours on a 500cc single cylinder machine. This was achieved on a Venom in 1961 cementing its reputation as one of the best sports bikes of its day.This Venom was bought by the vendor from Blays of Twickenham in 1989 and became a much-loved bike, enjoyed bike by him and his wife on many vintage runs such as the West Kent Run over the years. Restored and maintained by the engineer owner who set it up with touring footrest and a carrier to make it comfier for use in time trials in UK, Ireland and France, very often with his equally enthusiastic wife on the pillion. Not run for a while due to ill health it will need some recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with a large folder of receipts and other documents relevant to use and restoration of the bike, a few manuals, old MOTs, old tax discs and a current V5C.

Registration No: LXS 715 Frame No: 21626 Engine No: 2286 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptRare in the UK Moto Guzzi Airone 250 SportTypical Italian style and race breed technologySupplied with a large paperwork file and a V5CMoto Guzzi was established in 1921 by three friends from the Italian Air Corps and is Europe’s oldest motorcycle manufacturer in continuous production, based in the same factory in Mandello del Lario overlooking Lake Como ever since. 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 by far the bigger seller and the model was in production from the late 1930s through to 1957. An expensive bike in its day and rare in the UK, this beautifully presented Airone is the Sport model with a Sport cam, a higher compression piston and a Dellorto SS1 25mm carburettor. Bought by the vendor in 2013 as an unfinished project, the paint, chrome and preparatory mechanical work was already done with the cycle parts and frame repainted or re-chromed, wheels rebuilt and new or refurbished mechanical parts already sourced and purchased ready for the final engine rebuild. In 2018 the engine/gearbox was completely rebuilt using fully refurbished crankcases, a new crank, refurbished gearbox, a new clutch, plus all new bearings, bushes, gaskets and seals together with a full piston, barrel and head restoration. The bike has been fully rewired and with a reconditioned dynamo and magneto fitted. By late 2019 this Airone was finally ready for UK registration and issued with an age-related number. The machine was briefly run and tested after completion and went very well but due to ill health it has not been used since so will need a light recommissioning and then running in. The quality of the paintwork and the chrome/ alloy brightwork is very good and it comes supplied with a large paperwork file of technical information and receipts, some spares together with a current V5C.

Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until their demise in the early 1970s. Famous for the larger capacity twins like the RGS and sporty singles like the classic Gold Star range, one of the more popular models produced was the 250cc C11, a good solid reliable bike that many 1950s enthusiasts began motorcycling on.This 1953 BSA was restored a fair few years ago by the owner at the time. It has been used ever since it was completed until the current vendor purchased it in 2013. Not used much in his ownership and formed part of a collection of motorcycles. A current V5C is on file and some recommissioning maybe required before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their first motorcycle beginning a continuous run of production under various ownership until its eventual closure in 1983. The Tiger Cub 200cc single was one of their more popular models and was many future enthusiasts' first taste of motorcycling. A bike that has become very popular to convert into a pre-1965 Trials bike, not many have survived in standard trim.This 1960 Triumph T20 Cub was restored many years ago to a good standard. It has been used ever since and thoroughly enjoyed and is showing some signs of age. It comes complete with a current V5C. Some light recommissioning will be required before use.

The machine took styling cues from its bigger brother, the Honda CBX1000, and used a power plant derived from the company’s then revolutionary CB750KZ. It was an air-cooled, four-stroke, transverse four-cylinder, DOHC, 4 valves per cylinder Cruiser motorcycle. The CB900F's design was aimed at European markets, rather than the usual focus on the United States, where it was not available from the initial launch. At the dealer, the CB900F competed with larger capacity bikes like the Kawasaki KZ1000, Suzuki GS1000, and Yamaha XS1100. Honda's advertising proclaimed the bike to be "a thundering Super Sports bike with devastating performance and an unwavering stamina". Some reviewers described it as "the best Honda had built for the street".This 1981 Honda 900FA was purchased by the late owner on the 28th of February 1981 from Rye Motorcycles Ltd, Southampton, for the price of £1,585.46, receipt on file. In the late owner's ownership, it has clocked up 42,664 miles. Some work was being carried out by the vendor to recommission the Honda back on the road, but was never completed. Full recommissioning is advised before use. It comes complete with its original exhaust system, original bill of sale some old MOT certificates and a current V5C.

Registration No: B244 MAO Frame No: JYA47M003FA010931* Engine No: 36Y-000296 CC: 1100 MOT: July 2024Bespoke café racer based on a Yamaha FJ1100 Built using many new items, and custom paintworkSupplied with receipts, an MOT and a current V5CThe Yamaha Motor Co was formed in 1955 as the powered vehicle division of the massive Yamaha Corporation more famous for making musical instruments. The first bike produced in 1954 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 continues today in Moto GP and WSBk racing. The FJ1100 was launched in 1985 as Yamaha's entry into the musclebike sports tourer market and became famed for its durability and solid design. This 1985 model was imported from the USA in 1995 and used in standard trim until bought by the vendor in 2018. He then started a long term project to build a one off cafe racer using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame, swinging arm and wheels have been powder coated with the bodywork refinished in classic Yamaha's Red and White race colours together with a new speedo, tacho and switchgear. The chassis has been treated to a new pair of Avon Roadrider tyres, a front fork rebuild using Progressive springs, a new YSS rear shock, new brake disc, a full rebuild of the calipers and new chain and sprockets. The engine has been serviced and finished off with a bespoke 4 into 2 exhaust system. A labour of love, the vendor has spent a fortune and many hours to build this bike, dry stored over the winter it will need recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with some spare parts, receipts collected during the rebuild, an MOT until 6th July 2024 and a current V5C.*Please Note: The quoted frame number is the one which appears on the Yamaha’s V5C. It is no longer visible on the bike itself, likely due to paint coverage. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: TEO 832S Frame No: 104809 Engine No: 123386 CC: 550 MOT: ExemptEarly version of Suzuki's trendsetting middleweightWire wheels with twin front and single rear disc brakesFitted with a period Marshall 4 into 1, supplied with a V5CThe Suzuki Motor Co. was established in 1909 by Michio Suzuki to produce machinery for the cotton industry. An initial diversification into 4-wheeled transport was curtailed by WW2 but after the war, Japan had a need for 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 numbers 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. The 750 was closely followed by a slimmed down 550 version that became the best-selling middleweight in the late 1970s.This GS550 will bring back a lot of motorcyclist memories of their first 'proper' big bike and the model set new standards in 1977 for middleweight performance and handling. Essentially a slimmed down version of the GS750 this bike has been restored to use and comes fitted with a period Marshall 4 into 1 exhaust and recent tyres and is supplied with a current V5C.

Developed for their Manx Norton race bikes, the legendary Featherbed frame eventually made its way onto the road in 1953 housing the 500cc Dominator twin-cylinder engine. By the later 1950s the engine had grown to 600cc fitted into the classic Featherbed frame matched to equally iconic Roadholder forks.This 1966 example has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects. Authentically restored a few years ago as a bike to use on vintage runs and rallies the bottom end must have been changed at some point, not an unusual occurrence on Norton twins in the day, as the engine number doesn't match the frame number as they should. With the popularity of Cafe Racers and the demand for Featherbed frames and Roadholder forks, not many Dominators have survived with many having been cannibalised for Tritons or other similar projects. Not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C.

In 1980 they launched the R80G/S, the initials standing for Gelande (Offroad) and Strasse (Street) becoming the first large-capacity multi-purpose bike and at a stroke creating the now popular 'Adventure Bike' market. The bike went on to dominate the Paris-Dakar Rally in the '80s and in its latest incarnation is one of the best-selling bikes in Europe.This R1100GS has been part of an enthusiast private collection of classic bikes spanning the decades from the 1950s to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, due to ill health, he can no longer ride and maintain the bikes so he reluctantly has to let them find new homes. Not used for a number of years, but fired up recently on a jump pack, it has been stored in a dry building but will need a new battery and recommissioning before use. The bike is presented in good original condition and comes fitted with Hagon front and rear shocks, panniers, top box, engine protection bars and spotlights. Not as complicated as the later models, once recommissioned this earlier lighter weight version of the classic GS range will make a very useable bike in modern day road conditions that's still appreciating in value. It comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189

Registration No: J910 CVG Frame No: ZDM8885S000662* Engine No: 00718 CC: 888 MOT: NoneAmazingly presented and collectable limited edition 851 SP3Authentically restored to 'as new' condition at great expenseSupplied with photos of the restoration, manuals and a V5CDucati was established in 1926 by Antonnio 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. By the 60s they 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 tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years with models such as the 851, 888, and 916. In the early 1990s, Ducati started a tradition of producing limited editions of the previous year's race bikes, partly to get around homologation rules but also to give riders the ultimate in superbike performance. The 851 SP3 was built to celebrate Raymond Roche's win in the 1991 championship and to form the basis of the bike that Doug Polen went on to dominate proceedings over the next 2 years.This SP3 is presented in absolutely amazing condition and to use much abused, but in this case correct term, 'must be seen to be appreciated'. Bought new in October 1991 it has been serviced at 1000, 3000, 4768, 5294, 8517, 11860, 16992, 22534 and 26880 kms between then and 2003 by various recognised Ducati specialists. It was then restored at great expense with the intention of putting it back to good as new condition, with much of the work being carried out by the experts at Ducati Coventry, and has seen very little use since. Whilst there are a few photos showing the bike being worked on in their workshops, unfortunately the bills had to be 'lost' before the previous owner's wife discovered how much was actually being spent! The attention to detail and quality of the work is fantastic. The bike has been carefully dry stored in a protective bubble as part of an enthusiast's private collection for the last few years so would need some recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with a Ducati paddock stand, its original owner's manual, service book, some receipts, a few old MOTs and a current V5C.

Registration No: WXG 335 Frame No: JB38695 Engine No: UU1115 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptRare Villiers engined pre-war Francis BarnettQuite an Avant-Garde design in its daySupplied with some paperwork and a V5CRESERVE REDUCEDFrancis & Barnett Limited was an English motorcycle manufacturer founded in 1919 by Gordon Inglesby Francis and Arthur Barnett based in Coventry. The motorcycles were affectionately known as ' Franny B's and were produced for enthusiasts as affordable bikes for use as general transport. The majority of the lighter motorcycles used Villiers two-stroke engines with the later bigger capacity models using Associated Motor Cycles engines. AMC took over Francis & Barnett Limited in 1947 merging this with the James motorcycle company in 1957 and this combined company remained in business until 1966. The distinctive-looking Cruiser was quite an avant-garde design for a company not known for pushing the boundaries. Using previous experience in making pressed steel panels for the auto industry the bike features forged frame sections, pressed steel front forks, deeply valanced mudguards, leg shields and enclosed engine covers. The bike has become known as the 'Torpedo' by some owners due to its unique style.This striking looking example has been part of a small collection of classics for a while and the vendor is only selling to make way for other projects. It was restored about 10 years ago by a previous owner and has been started recently but may need some recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with a dating letter from the Francis Barnett club, some copies of a parts book, a catalogue and a current V5C.

Established in Coventry in 1885, by the start of the 1900s the company had made their 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 launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post war years. The basic layout survived in various engine sizes up to 750cc until the eventual closure of factory in the early 1970s. Triumph staged a remarkable comeback in the 1990s with a range of completely new machines very much based on the spirit of bikes like the original Speed Twin.This one owner Speed Twin, from a deceased estate and being offered at no reserve, was bought new by the vendor's uncle from Duplex Cycle Company in Darlington on the 13th November 1951. Used by him extensively, including tours of Europe, looking at the last tax disc it was stored away in the back of his garage in 1965 and stayed there for the next 58 years. It appears to be in very original condition and will make a fascinating project to bring back to life. The family has found some interesting memorabilia concerning the bike including photographs of their uncle's tour of Europe together with the route plan issued by the RAC, the finance agreement when bought new, its original handbook, the last MOT issued in 1964 and a buff log book. They have also now found a modern V5C showing the bike has been logged on the DVLA computer and kept hold of its original registration number.

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 before its rebirth in the early 1990s. In 1937 the Edward Turner-designed Speed Twin was released launching a range of Triumph twins that went on to epitomize British motorcycles in the post-war years. Many believe the various Bonneville, Tiger and Trophy models to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and the late 1969/1970 pre oil-in-frame models represent the peak of development of Triumph's most iconic model.Like many Triumphs built in the 1960s and early 1970s, this matching numbers Trophy appears to have spent most of its life in the USA before being repatriated in 2013. It has been restored to a good standard with a view to it being ridden with the addition of 12v electrics, indicators and period correct Dunlop K70s. This Trophy has been part of an enthusiast private collection of British classics for a few years, only selling now to make space in his garage for other projects, not run for a while it will need some recommissioning but the engine turns over on the kickstarter and it comes with a current V5C. The unit construction pre oil-in-frame models are some of the most sought-after bikes from the era. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189
