Registration No: JKH 716L Frame No: 1025280 Engine No: 102313 CC: 350 MOT: ExemptA mostly original Honda CB350FUsed by the current vendor until last yearOwned for the last six yearsThe Honda CB350F is a four-cylinder, four-stroke, 347cc motorcycle based on the larger versions of the day (CB750, CB500). The motorcycle was manufactured by Honda in Japan from 1972 to 1974. At the time, the CB350F was the smallest capacity four cylinder motorcycle ever to enter into full-scale production. There were no changes to the 1973 model, but Honda designated the 1974 bike the CB350F1. Soon after production was discontinued, it was replaced by the CB400F. Although Honda had a 350 Twin that critics said was more powerful, lighter, and cheaper, many felt the 350 Four was faster and smoother running.This 1973 Honda CB350F (Four) was purchased by the current vendor in 2018 and it has been used by him ever since. The Honda is in mostly original condition and showing signs of use over the years. Currently on SORN since 2021 and has been running recently, but will need some recommissioning before use. It comes complete with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Registration No: S850 CUB Frame No: M906SC2 026148 Engine No: 042809 CC: 900 MOT: None1998 900SS Supersport in good conditionFitted with Sil Moto exhaust, standard exhaust includedA future classic supplied with a current V5CDucati was established in 1926 by Antonio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola clip-on motor. By the 60s they had become associated with 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. An immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race, started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years.This 1998 model has only had two owners from new with the previous vendor having bought it in 2004. Showing a credible c.17,000 miles on the clock, it has been maintained by Ducati John in Wakefield and by the owner himself, who recently gave it a service with new cam belts. The bike is offered in essentially standard trim, new exhaust, and a tinted screen. A future classic that is still very rideable in modern-day road conditions, it is supplied with a current V5C. The machine is ready to go and will not disappoint the new owner. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217
Registration No: CSL 565 Frame No: EC12 19874 Engine No: BC11G 31266 CC: 250 MOT: ExemptAuthentically restored swinging arm BSA 250Fitted with Stainless wheel rims and spokesSupplied with lots of receipts, manuals and V5CFamous for the larger capacity 650 twins like the A10 and RGS, and sporty models like the classic Gold Star range, one of BSA’s more popular products was the C range of 250cc OHV singles that provided a good solid reliable bike for many 1950s enthusiasts to start motorcycling on. The C12 was the first version to feature swinging arm rear suspension using the same engine as the earlier C11G with its four-speed gearbox, but in a more modern chassis.This early C12 model has been restored keeping a good degree of originality and will make an ideal bike for someone wanting the character of a 1950s British bike in a relatively lightweight chassis. Supplied with over 40 receipts for parts bought during the restoration process including one showing £341 for stainless rims and spokes and various parts books, service sheets and workshop manuals together with a copy of the 'Book of BSA Singles' and a V5C. Ridden last summer it may need a light recommissioning before use. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415871189
Registration No: GJL 195W Frame No: 4LO 0004186 Engine No: 4LO 0004186 CC: 350 MOT: ExemptRare to find a Yamaha 350LC in this conditionAuthentic restoration, will need some recommissioningOriginal much sought after standard exhaust systemSupplied with 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 goes on to this day in Moto GP. The arrival of the RD range in the seventies cemented Yamaha's reputation for high performance two strokes and the launch of the LC 250 and 350 models in 1980 revolutionised medium capacity motorcycling. The famous Pro-Am televised race series made for exciting and sometimes frightening Saturday afternoon viewing and kickstarted the careers of many a famous racer such as Niall Mackenzie and even Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill.This 1980 RD350LC has been subject to an excellent restoration keeping a high degree of originality, including the much sought after standard exhaust system. The engine turns over and gears select but it has been stood for a few years so will need some recommissioning before use.

Registration No: XHH 56H Frame No: ED51520 T120R Engine No: T120R DU86474 CC: 650 MOT: ExemptBeautifully presented pre-oil in frameT120R BonnieFull nut and bolt restoration by enthusiast vendorSupplied with a large paperwork file, spares and a V5CTriumph 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 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 T120 Bonneville, first seen in late 1958, to be the ultimate version of the classic British vertical twin and the last of the non 'oil in frame' models represents the peak of development of Triumphs most iconic model.This beautifully restored 1970 model was initially exported to the USA but was repatriated in 1995, whilst overseas the bottom end must have been changed for some reason. The vendor bought it in 2019 as a project and commenced a full restoration including repainting the frame and bodywork in classic Astral Red and Silver colours, rebuilding the wheels with stainless rims and spokes shod with period correct Dunlop K70 tyres, a new exhaust system and wear and tear items with the original stainless mudguards repolished. The engine has been fully stripped, crank balanced, new Harris cylinder and pistons, new E3134 cams, oil pump, carbs and a Pazon electronic ignition. The bike has not done many miles since and started first kick when being photographed. It comes with a large quantity of spares including the original barrels bored to +60, original carbs, paint and an extensive paperwork file of receipts, special tools, technical information, workshop manuals, a cover, and a V5C.

Registration No: OAO 13 Frame No: RS4233 Engine No: MSS11624 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptOwned by a Velocette enthusiast for the last 29 yearsFitted with an Alton Electric Starter and 12v alternatorSupplied with a RF60, paperwork file, manuals and a V5CVelocettes 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. The MSS was the predecessor to the Venom and Thruxton models.This MSS was bought by the vendor, an engineer, in 1995 and restored and maintained by him for use on many rallies over the years, very often with his equally enthusiastic wife on the pillion. The bike has completed the Bromyard to Bangor Bash through Snowdonia National Park and the National Munster Trial, approx. 800 miles of mountain tracks and passes. In 2015 he fitted an Alton Electric Start and 12v Alternator kit so he could keep riding, a modification that would now cost over £2000. Unfortunately due to ill health he can no longer ride so its time to let someone else have the pleasure. Not run for a couple of years it will need some recommissioning and comes supplied with its original buff log book, a large paperwork file of invoices accumulated over the years, old MOTs, various manuals, parts removed when fitting the electric start kit and a current V5C.

Registration No: WWU 641J Frame No: CB500-1003494 Engine No: CB500E-1003807 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptEarly CB500 K0 model restored at great expenseFitted with a genuine Honda HM323 exhaust systemSupplied with numerous receipts and current V5CThis Honda was purchased in 2019 by a retired Engineer with over 50 years of experience who has a passion for mechanical engineering and vehicle restoration. This is the latest project from a line of restorations that include several British and Japanese motorcycles and cars. This original K0 variant had been imported from South Dakota in the USA and required a full restoration. The mileometer had just over 12,000 miles displayed which is believed to be accurate based on the fact that there was very little wear to the engine. The bike was fully stripped down and all parts were examined, restored or replaced. There is a huge library of receipts amounting to thousands of pounds from reputable retailers and Honda specialists.The renovation has been completed to the original US specification, such as retaining the slightly higher (and very comfortable) handlebars so that it remains true to its original specification (the K0 was not originally imported to the UK). After measuring the bores it was confirmed that the engine had not been bored out previously and the bores were in perfect condition. The top end was rebuilt using high quality parts including new pistons and rings and the bottom end was inspected and found to be in good order. The carburettors were stripped, ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt using new jets and needles. The frame and its components were sent away for powder coating, the head stock bearings were replaced and forks refurbished including new seals and stanchions. The electrical system was fully overhauled and the switchgear renovated. A new battery was fitted and an Optimate lead installed to maintain the battery through the winter if the bike isn't being used. The chain and sprockets were replaced with good quality D.I.D components. All the chrome work was re-chromed at Howells of Walsall which is a business held in high regard within the classic vehicle restoration world. The wheels were refurbished with new rims and spokes and new tyres and tubes in the original sizes. The wheel bearings were replaced and brakes fully overhauled with the rear brake drum skimmed due to slight ovality.Most importantly, the vendor managed to acquire a full set of new old stock Honda HM323 exhausts at great expense which were still in the original boxes plus a new old stock petrol tank and side panels from a friend who had them in storage for a number of years. A local bodywork specialist who works for a number of British Superbike teams painted the tank and side panels in the original colour which looks beautiful especially when the sun is shining. The bike runs beautifully and has completed roughly 200 miles since restoration and is now ready to be enjoyed throughout the Summer. The vendor is planning to ride the bike to the auction venue and it comes supplied with numerous receipts and a current V5C.

The engine was an air-cooled twin, four-stroke. The XS 500C was the revamped-for-1976 model and came with something resembling more style and better durability. The first models had some problems with warping valve seats, so later cylinder heads were changed to round exhaust ports to help the heat dissipate.This 1977 Yamaha XS 500 (believed to be the C model) has had a full restoration at a total of £15,414.19 during 2013. The XS 500 has since been featured in the classic bike guide with a seven-page spread.

They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world and have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. One of their most distinctive and best loved designs is the Z series of small wheeled minibikes that came to be known as Monkey bikes because those riding them "looked like Monkeys". The first version of the Honda Z-series was the 1961 prototype Honda Z100, originally produced as a children's ride at the Tama Tech Japanese amusement park and was eventually refined and put into mass production in 1964.The Monkey bike has seen several different variations over its 40+ years of production, the Gorilla being one of them, a more aggressively styled and chunky looking bike. This circa 1981 Z50 Gorilla was imported into the UK in 2006 and whilst not registered comes with its 2006 customs declaration showing duties paid at the time.

In 1994 after a practice week engine rebuild (broken crankpin) I managed to complete the race at an average speed of 90.15 mph (not too shabby for a 6’6” bloke with no skill and weighing 16.5 stones).In 1999 after two more crankpin failures my father ordered and fitted a one-piece crankshaft manufactured as a one-off from Dave Nourish of NRE Engineering, Dave was a friend of my father.In 2001 a Mick Taberer drive side main bearing conversion kit was fitted which according to my father’s records included INA needle roller bearings.The engine’s last complete rebuild was in 2007 when a new liner along with piston and rings, main bearings, and big end shells were fitted the bike was then used at the 2008 MGP.Following the race in November 2008 the top end of the bike was stripped and rebuilt by my father, the bike was last used in July 2011 at a Mallory Park test day.”We are advised the lot will include numerous spares, spare PAL mag, pistons, bearings, sprockets, brake discs, fork tubes, transponder, flywheels, suits rev counter, etc. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Developed alongside the K100 fours, the three-cylinder K75 was delayed by a year, as BMW wanted to cement the concept of K-series in the minds of the bike buying public. The 740cc K75 engine was an inline DOHC triple with a big shaft drive. It had the same bore and stroke as the K100, and was, essentially a K100 with the front cylinder lopped off. This made the K75 even smoother than the K100. There were five K75 models available for UK buyers, the naked K75, the K75C which had a cockpit fairing, the K75S, with a sports/touring fairing and the K75RT with a full touring fairing.This 1992 BMW K75S has been used by its current owner over the years he has owned it and he says it has never let him down. The time has come to let someone else enjoy it as it has not been used in the last year. Offered with a good service history, a new battery and a current V5C. Some recommissioning will be required before use. For more information, please contact: Mike Davis mike.davis@handh.co.uk 07718 584217

Classed as a ‘sports bike’, the FZR1000 was generally regarded as the world's finest production sports motorcycle at that time, and in its 1989 FZR1000R incarnation, the engine produced over 140hp with class-leading handling to match. The FZR1000R won ‘Bike of the Year’ throughout the motorcycle press and was crowned the "Bike of the Decade" by Cycle World. The machine was continually updated throughout its lifetime and continued to collect awards through the early 1990s. The big new feature was the Exhaust Ultimate Powervalve (EXUP) to smooth out power delivery.This FZR1000 has had little use due to being part of a static collection of Japanese machines. In ‘as-purchased’ condition and has been running and some work has been carried out, but some further recommissioning may be required before road use.

After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a push-bike 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. The unfaired Monster began as a styling exercise in 1992, designed by Miguel Angel Galluzzi, and it took time to convince the management at Ducati to build it. The model became an immediate success and has gone down in history as the bike that saved Ducati due to its popularity and cheap development costs with over 300,000 having been produced. Whilst the Monster was initially conceived as a low cost entry model, the S4 range placed the 4 valve water cooled engine from the 996 sports bike in a trellis chassis featuring state of the art suspension and braking.This S4R has been part of a private collection for a few years and is only being sold now to give the vendor more space for his other projects. Offered in good original condition including its genuine Ducati ZDM-33/34 stamped end cans it will make an interesting and quick bike to ride whilst still appreciating in value. It had new tyres and a brake overhaul including new Brembo front disc in 2022, not doing many miles since, and a new battery and fuel pump at the beginning of March this year. Run recently it comes supplied with a paddock stand, some receipts, old MOTs, a current MOT until August 2024, its original tool kit and owners manuals together with a V5C.

The SRX600 offered a sleek cafe racer style with the reliability of a Japanese bike and has formed the basis of many specials over the years.This SRX cafe racer styled special was put together by the enthusiast vendor over the last couple of years, unfortunately, due to ill health he now having to downsize his collection. Finished in classic Kenny Roberts Yellow, Black and White US Yamaha race team colours, it is fitted with new tyres that have not seen any use, a bespoke exhaust system and a stylish single-seat conversion that the shape of the bike perfectly.

Always the innovator by the mid-30s he had developed his own 500cc single and 1000cc twin-cylinder designs that became the mainstay of production until 1955. The big 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. Unfortunately, the company had to close in the late 1950s due to the high cost of manufacturing such an exclusive and high quality product.This Rapide has spent its last 12 years on the Isle of Man in a small private collection only covering around 600 miles and is now being sold to make room for other projects. It was bought by the vendor from the deceased estate of a Vincent enthusiast who after buying it in 1980 adapted the bike for serious touring use including the fitting of Amal Mk2 Concentrics, finned front brake hubs, an 8" single sided rear brake and a neat little chain oiler. If the stickers on the Craven panniers, included in the sale, are to be believed it was used extensively during his ownership for European tours. The bike has now been stood for several years and will need a good recommissioning before use but the engine turns over on the kickstarter with good compression. It comes supplied with a few old MOTs, a copy instruction manual, a continuation buff logbook and a V5C.* According to factory records Engine No. F10AB/1/8461 and Frame No. RC10361/C match a Series C Rapide that was manufactured in January 1951 and despatched to Jack Surtees Motorcycles (London). The bike is supplied with a continuation RF60 buff logbook issued in 1961 in which the handwritten frame number is unclear. The UFM and RFM are stamped 10361, which agrees with the factory records, but it looks like a typo occurred when the first V5 was granted so the DVLA has the frame number down as 10381. This error should be eminently reversible with the appropriate paperwork and help of the Vincent Owner’s Club.

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 V-twin layout has now become Guzzi's signature design from the sporty Le Mans models to the custom Californias. The V35, V50 and V65 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 Guzzi 650 shaft drive V-twin has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years. It comes fitted with a full stainless steel exhaust system and a Spada style handlebar fairing which together with its lower seat height, electric starter and ease of maintenance make it an ideal bike for classic runs and rallies.

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 Lodola, featuring a lightweight 175cc OHC single cylinder engine was company founder and original designer Carlo Guzzi's last design before his death in the early 1960s.This well presented Lodola has been part of a Moto Guzzi enthusiast private collection for the last few years. Dated as a 1957/58 model it is Moto Giro d’Italia eligible in the Rievocazione Storica or Historic re-enactment class. Purchased by a previous owner in 2006, he then gave it a full engine/gearbox and mechanical overhaul including a rebore, new piston, new bearings and seals throughout in preparation for the 2008 Giro d’Italia. The bike has since completed 3 more Moto Giro events and the Colombres Rally. It has only had light use under current ownership since 2021, taking part in VMCC and Guzzi Club events, the vendor reports it would benefit from a front fork overhaul with a new bronze bushes kit provided.

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. Better known for their two strokes in 1977 Suzuki joined the four-stroke revolution with the GS750, a bike that matched European standards of handling but with Japanese build quality and performance levels. The GSX range appeared in the early 1980s matching together Suzuki's bulletproof bottom end with 4 valves per cylinder. The legendary GSX1100 was one of the most powerful bikes of the day and became the starting point for many 'streetfighter' and drag race specials.This rare unmodified GSX1100E musclebike is the ultimate expression of Suzukis air cooled 4 stroke range before they moved onto oil and then water cooling. Whilst a powerful bike in its day, there was plenty of scope left for tuning in its over-engineered motor so very few have survived in standard trim. This bike has been part of a private collection for a while and is only being sold to make space in the vendors garage. Run recently (see video) it may need a new battery before use and whilst fitted with a Cobra 4 into 1, it comes with a genuine and rare black chrome 4 into 2 exhaust system. Also included are 20 old MOTs, some receipts, a magazine featuring the model, an MOT until August this year and a current V5C.

Sporadic production continued throughout the Pioneer period and by the 1920s they had a range of single cylinder side valve models featuring either two or three speed gearboxes and belt or chain final drive as well as a flat twin. Their machines quickly established an enviable reputation for reliability, enhanced in 1924 by Hugh Gibson's successful circuit of the British coast on a Raleigh combination and Marjorie Cottle's reverse circuit of the same route on a solo. Production continued until 1933 when the company ceased motorcycle production to concentrate on their pedal powered products.This stunningly presented 2 ¾ HP two speed belt drive Model 1 was actually recovered from a hedge in 1987 by the enthusiast vendor. As you can imagine it was in quite a state but it was extensively renovated with love and precision by the current owner, an engineer, and thoroughly enjoyed by him and his wife winning prizes at many classic events such as the Chipping Steam Fair. It is thought that very few have survived and the bike was re-registered on its original number in 2002 with the help of Michael Worthington-Williams once the restoration was complete. It comes with quite a selection of spare parts including a fuel tank, exhaust, rims, boxes of mechanical parts and what appears to be the best part of another engine as well as a pillion seat. There is also an extensive box file full of receipts and information about the rebuild together with various bits of technical information and a current V5C.

The original company produced motorcycles from 1952, funded by a contract with the Ministry of Pensions for their Invacar, a three-wheeler for disabled drivers. The Greeves Scottish was named in honour of Jack Simpson’s class win in the 1957 Scottish Six Days Trial and for many years it was the clubman rider’s favourite mount. The bike went through a large number of updates during its eight-year production span but was distinguished by its alloy frame section and leading link forks.This good looking c.1961 Scottish, in classic Greeves colours of Blue frame and Silver petrol tank, has been part of an enthusiast private collection for a number of years and is offered in authentically restored condition. The engine was subject to a £728 engine overhaul in 2010, invoice included, and the vendor reports it has not seen much use since.

The legendary inline 4 cylinder CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike, but Honda always liked to push the boundaries with different layouts. The transverse vee twin CX500 was such a model and after initial teething problems built up an enviable reputation for durability, becoming the despatch riders weapon of choice.This 1979 CX500 Custom model was imported from the USA in 2016 and bought by the vendor who then started a long-term project to build a one-off ‘brat-bike’ using many new parts to create an unusual and distinctive special. The frame and swinging arm have been powder-coated in Bronze with the bodywork refinished in two-tone Bronze and Gold and a new speedo and tacho fitted. A pair of bespoke mudguards have been modelled together with a tan-coloured seat to create that all-important cut-down look. The chassis is finished off with a pair of Ohlins rear shocks and a neat little tool bag that sits behind the engine. 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.

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. The KSS featured an overhead camshaft engine that was quite rare in a road bike at the time and formed the basis of the chammpionship winning KTTs.This 1936 KSS was bought by the vendor in 1996 and lovingly restored by him over the next few years with an extensive paperwork folder of receipts and technical information documenting the process. A stunning looking bike with its large fishtail silencer and gloss black finish, it was very much ahead of its time with its OHC top end but proved to be a very expensive bike to manufacture. Unfortunately, due to ill health the vendor can no longer ride so it’s time to let someone else have the pleasure.

After taking over the ailing Meguro Motorcycle Company they began manufacturing motorcycles under the Kawaski 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 but 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 and is now one of the most desirable bikes of the 1970s. The A4 was the last of the 903cc four-pipe models before the engine was enlarged to become the Z1000 in 1977.This authentically restored and beautifully presented Z900 was imported from the USA in 1996 where it would have been known as a KZ900. By the mid 1970s Kawasaki had opened a manufacturing plant in Nebraska, built to get around the strict import restrictions put in place to protect Harley Davidson. This KZ900 was more than likely made by 'Kawasaki Motors Corporation USA' and then sold to Kawasaki Rhode Island USA on the 7th June 1976, with a copy of the original statement to that effect included in the sale. Bought by the vendor in 2003, and ridden by him sparingly since, it is fitted with the optional twin disc front brakes and a good quality replica aftermarket 4 into 4 exhaust system.restored as an ongoing project, the engine was rebuilt in 2004 by the Japanese motorcycle enthusiast at Verity’s Motorcycles in St Ives Cambridgeshire using OEM parts. After a few years of use, in late 2012 and early 2013, the motorcycle was stripped down and given a cosmetic restoration with all relevant parts repainted by Dream Machine. The original speedometer clock has been replaced, therefore the total mileage for the motorcycle is actually 29,934, made up mainly of the 27,902 on the original clock and 2,032 miles since the change. This can be confirmed via MOT certificates, most of which are provided from 1997 until 2017 when the motorcycle was recognised as an Historic Vehicle and they were no longer required, although a new MOT is now present, valid until 20th September 2024, to identify its roadworthiness together with a current V5C.

Registration No: C62 PMX Frame No: PC155000546 Engine No: PC15E5000345 CC: 499 MOT: NoneUsed by the current owner for many yearsA mostly original machineIn good running orderCurrent V5C on fileThe XBR500 was in a sense a modern motorcycle influenced by the past. Introduced in 1985, the new machine sought to capture the spirit of the great sporting singles of the past in a modern user-friendly machine. The new model drew heavily on their experience producing four-stroke trail bikes from the XL range, sharing the four radial valve cylinder head layout. The result was an economical engine capable delivering over 50 miles to the gallon and a top speed of 108 mph. The machine's styling was understated and placed the rider "within" the motorcycle.This 1985 Honda XBR has been owned by the current vendor for the last 12 years and in his ownership it has been the daily machine for errands and the odd bike meet. It has been a great machine that has never let him down. Showing signs of use, but mostly original, it benefits from its original exhaust system, a current V5C, a host of old MOT certificates, receipts for parts, and a sales brochure.

Registration No: N80 ACW Frame No: ZD4RKA0079S000753 Engine No: V44062 CC: 1000 MOT: NoneAprilia’s V-four RSV 4R 1000cc superbikeAftermarket end can, original included in saleSupplied with original manuals and a current V5CAprilia always had a strong motorsport connection, beginning with motocross racing and then a multiple world championship-winning road racing programme with riders such as Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. With a 998 cc 60-degree V-twin engine built by the Austrian company Rotax, the RSV Mille was the first large displacement motorcycle made by Aprilia, who had previously only made smaller capacity bikes. In 2008 the RSV4 vee four 1000cc was introduced as a super-sports race replica model with the bike going on to win the WSK championship in 2010,2012 and 2014 with Max Biaggi and Sylvain Guintoli.This stunning looking RSV V4 has been part of an enthusiast private collection since 2012. Unfortunately, the owner is having to sell his faster and heavier bikes due to ill health. The bike is more or less standard apart from a Moto GP style short exhaust, although the original one is included in the sale. Not run for a while it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a paddock stand, its original manuals and a current V5C.
Registration No: JNN 422N Frame No: F180441 Engine No: 330331 CC: 850CC MOT: ExemptLate Mk3 with uprated starter motor and Boyer ignitionMikuni carb, Norvil twin disc, stainless rims and spokesRestored to use and supplied with a current V5CNorton was founded by James Lansdowne Norton in Birmingham in 1898 and began building motorcycles with French and Swiss engines in 1902. In 1907 a Norton with a Peugeot engine won the first Isle of Man TT race starting a long tradition of sporting excellence and the Commando launched in 1967 carried on this theme culminating in Peter Williams’ victory in the 1973 Formula 750 TT. The bike was first seen in 1967 at the Earls Court Show and the first production bikes were available in March 1968 initially with 750cc displacement, in 1973 it became an 850cc. During its ten years of production the Commando was popular all over the world, in the United Kingdom winning the Motor Cycle News "Machine of the Year" award for five successive years from 1968-1972. Around 60,000 Commandos were made in total with the Mark 3 being the last model offered before the company's demise in 1975.This very well presented Mk3 Commando has been restored and modified by a previous owner to make it more reliable and better to ride. The always suspect starter motor has been upgraded, a Mikuni carb fitted, Boyer Brandson electronic ignition, Landsdown adjustable fork cartridges, Koni rear dampers and a Norvil twin disc front end. The cosmetic restoration was completed with stainless steel rims and spokes shod with some modern tyres. It would be hard to find a better example of what is quite a rare version of one of the last great British bikes of the era. 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.

Registration No: KAW 421P Frame No: CB500-2069531 Engine No: CB500E-2155912 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptRestored in 2020 to a high standardWork carried out by JMC ScarbroughPart of a collection of machinesCurrent V5C on fileThe Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. 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 legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern-day superbike with a lighter weight 500cc, little brother, following soon after bringing back memories of Mike Hailwood's Grand Prix bike of the late 1960s.This 1975 Honda 500 Four was restored by JMC Classics in Scarborough to a high standard around 2020. Purchased by the current vendor not long after its completion as part of his small collection of machines. Used sparingly since its restoration by the current vendor, it ran just last summer. Some recommissioning will be required before use due to winter storage. It comes complete with a current V5C and keys.

Registration No: BLK 109 Frame No: 53940 Engine No: 1113 CC: 500 MOT: ExemptAuthentically presented 1934 500cc SpecialSupplied with many restoration receipts and paperworkIncludes continuation buff log book and a current V5CThe Rudge name was made famous by Graham Walker's victory in the 1928 Ulster Grand Prix, one of the first times a road race had been won at an average speed of more than 80mph, setting a lap record of over 82mph. In the same year Ernie Nott set a new two-hour world record at over 100 mph and went on to set further records in 1929. The bike, especially the bronze head Ulster replica, became the mainstay of road racing in the day with even Enzo Ferarri running a race team in Italy using Rudges. This racing heritage gave the Rudge name a lot of credibility but unfortunately works supported racing and the supply of race machinery ended around the mid-thirties with the death of Rudge-Whitworth principal and driving force J.V. Pugh. A subsequent diversification into autocycles and other badly managed ventures caused the demise of the Rudge concern in 1940.This Special had been stored away in a barn since the early 1960s before being rescued a couple of years ago and given an authentic restoration as a lockdown project. First registered in late 1934, the continuation buff logbook issued in 1943, suggests it had a sidecar fitted at the time. The engine has been rebuilt but has not been run since so will need some recommissioning before use. It comes supplied with a paperwork folder of receipts and restoration information, manuals and a current V5C.

Registration No: SN04 FOH Frame No: 5HD1FRN14Y711677 Engine No: 711677 CC: 1450 MOT: April 2024Harley Road King fitted with a 'Champion' reverse gearBespoke colour matched LAK sidecar made in HollandRare outfit supplied in excellent condition with a V5C RESERVE REDUCEDHarley 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. Harley epitomise large-capacity cruisers that many have tried to copy but have never managed to match Harley's image and prestige. For some the Harley-Davidson FLHR Road King is the best example of Harleys products, combining the 1950s style of the Fat Boy with the versatility and comfort of the Glides thanks to its twin shock chassis, with the custom model featuring leather panniers, backrest and windscreen. At its heart lies a classic HD vee twin air-cooled 1450cc Twin Cam motor driving through a five-speed manual transmission delivering a torque figure of 117Nm at only 3500rpm. That impressive amount of low down torque is ideal for pulling along a sidecar like the bespoke LAK wide bodied version fitted to this bike. Harley never offered a sidecar to suit driving on the left hand side of the road but LAK used some of the fittings of the home market models to produce a stunning looking sidecar that compliments the shape and style of the Road King. This rare combination is presented in excellent condition, run recently it is only being sold as the vendor needs to downsize his collection. The bike comes fitted with lots of extras including a genuine HD screen, backrest, crash bars, spot lights, sound system and leather saddlebags. The colour matched wide bodied sidecar is a work of art and really looks like it belongs on the bike. Fitted with what appears to be genuine Harley features such as the lights and mudguard crest, there is a chrome rack on the rear and it includes all of its protective covers. The bike has been modified for sidecar use with the correct profile tyres all round and most importantly, a 'Champion' reverse gear kit. This distinctive looking outfit stands out from the crowd and would cost a small fortune to put together new, the reverse gear kit alone would come to around £1750 alone. It comes supplied with a current V5C. For more information, please contact: Ian Cunningham ian.cunningham@handh.co.uk 07415 871189
