1976 Moto Guzzi 850T3 & Hedingham SidecarRegistration no. NRY 915PFrame no. 100594Engine no. 100594Introduced in 1974, the 850T owed more to the V7 Sport and 750S models than it did to Guzzi's contemporary tourers, boasting the former's frame and suspension and the latter's 'hot' camshaft. The 850T was one of the first Guzzis to employ a disc brake, mounting a single Brembo at the front while retaining the existing drum brake at the rear. Weighing slightly less than the 750S but with the same (53bhp) maximum power output and greater torque, the 850T possessed an excellent power-to-weight ratio and could justifiably claim to be one of the finest sports tourers of its day. Effectively an interim model, it was replaced in 1975 by the triple-disc-braked but otherwise similar 850T3, which remained in production until 1982.This Moto Guzzi motorcycle combination was run by the lady vendor from the mid-1980s through to 1999, since when it has been garage stored. In 2005 a new clutch was fitted and the engine run for 2-3 minutes before it was realised there was no oil in it. The engine is believed to be seized and nothing has been done to the machine since then. Sold strictly as viewed, the Guzzi is offered with an old V5 registration document; a couple of expired MoTs; Hedingham Sidecars Owners' Club magazine; and a Haynes workshop manual. The original telescopic forks and a Hedingham Sidecars wooden model are included in the sale. Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1978 Kawasaki Z650CRegistration no. ALH 688SFrame no. KZ650C-018612Engine no. Z650BE078519Having emphatically established its performance credentials with the Mach III two-stroke triple, Kawasaki went on to ace the opposition with the awe-inspiring Z1. Launched in 1972, the big Z spawned a range of smaller fours, the first of which was the Z650. One of the most capable sports bikes of the 1970s, the Z650 - along with the contemporary Suzuki GS750 - helped dispel the myth that big Japanese bikes didn't handle, its sturdy duplex loop frame inspiring confidence in a manner quite unlike that of its predecessor's. Effectively a Z1 in miniature, the Z650's across-the-frame air-cooled motor produced 64bhp, an output good enough for a top speed of around 120mph. Complaints that the early model's single disc front/drum rear brake set up was inadequate prompted the adoption of a triple disc system on subsequent models, together with alloy wheels, as seen on this 1978 model. This UK model was purchased by the vendor in November 2014 and last ran circa 2015. Re-commissioning will be required before further use. Accompanying documentation consists of an expired MoT (2015) and a V5C Registration Certificate. The Harris 4-into-1 exhaust system is a non-standard feature.

2002 Yamaha TW125Registration no. BX02 VBLFrame no. *JYADE051000001058*Engine no. *E306E-027812*North America's wide-open spaces are the perfect playground for off-road motorcycles, and the importance of this leisure-orientated sector has long been recognised by European and Japanese manufacturers. Yamaha began contesting this market in the 1960s, offering a range of single-cylinder two-stroke trail bikes and purpose-built moto-crossers as well as twin-cylinder 'street scramblers'.Introduced in 1999 Yamaha's TW125 featured a single cylinder four stroke engine derived from the earlier SR125. With a claimed output of 11hp at 12,000 RPM the TW appealed to novice riders but was equally suited to a wet beach with its balloon tyres. Stopping power was delivered via a single front disc and an expanding drum brake to the rear. Weighing in at around 118kg, it was light and nimble enough and its dual seat, rear footpegs and optional luggage rack made for a practical and functional everyday mount. Purchased by the vendors late father in 2012, he was advised this 13,190 mile example was predominantly used for local commuting and the occasional weekend green lane session with friends. Unused since acquisition and last MoT'd in August 2009, the late owner's son, a professional mechanic decided to recommission the TW earlier this year including the fitting of a new rear tyre, sprocket and chain as well as overhauling the front brake calliper and fitting new brake pads. Offered with V5C Registration Certificate, key and MOT history print out, the vendor advises the machine will have a fresh MOT prior to the sale.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1979 Triumph 750cc T140 Flat Tracker SpecialRegistration no. KDL 680VFrame no. T140E CA19690Engine no. T140E CA19690A mainstay of American motorcycle sport for decades, flat track racing has only caught on in the UK relatively recently. By the mid-2000s, there were two series: the ACU National Short-track Championship and the Silkolene Short-track Championship, both of which catered for a variety of different types of machine ranging from moto-cross and enduro bikes to purpose-built flat-trackers. Back in the late 1970s though, there was another, ultimately abortive, attempt to establish the sport in this country in the form of the Strongbow Cider-backed series, most of the machines contesting it being Triumph engined flat-trackers. To drum up interest, the organisers had to have American stars present, and Kenny Roberts and Dave Aldana were flown over from the USA to show the Brits how it should be done.This flat tracker-style special was purchased by Mark Wilsmore of Ace Café fame in 1984. Built by the late Bill Crosby of Reg Allen Motorcycles, it features twin front disc brakes with AP Lockheed lightweight racing brake callipers; a Micron fork brace; and a Norman Hyde oil cooler. Purchased by the vendor at the Bonhams Autumn Stafford Sale 2018 (Lot 393), they have since recommissioned it and dry stored. The machine comes with an old V5; a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired 2007); and old/current V5C Registration Certificates.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

From the estate of the late 'Rocket' George Wander 1938 BSA 499cc JM24 Gold StarRegistration no. CMJ 159 Frame no. JM24.102Engine no. JM24.102•Oldest surviving matching numbers Gold Star•Offered from the estate of the world's leading BSA M24 expert•Wonderful original patina, but used regularly•22 years in the current ownershipAs the writer of this catalogue entry, I would like to say that the late George Wander was a very good friend of mine, and he is greatly missed. Widely known as Rocket George, he was THE world authority on BSA's pre-war M24 Gold Stars. Indeed, his website www.bsa-m24.co.uk remains the best and most accessible source of information regarding these fabulous machines. George's most cherished motorcycles were his Rocket III (Lot 538) which he had owned for 45 years, and this 1938 JM24 which he bought in 'our' Brooks auction at Stafford in April 2000. It is the second Gold Star ever manufactured by BSA, and the oldest surviving matching numbers example.It is well documented that Wal Handley, one of the star riders of the inter war period, came out of retirement in June 1937 and rode a factory entered and tuned BSA Empire Star to victory at Brooklands with a fastest lap of 107.57 mph. He therefore won a coveted Brooklands Gold Star which was awarded for laps of over 100 mph. BSA were very soon to announce their new top of the range sports machine, and as they already had a tradition of 'Star' model names such as Blue Star, and Empire Star, the new M24 was appropriately named the Gold Star. It was based closely on the existing Empire Star model, but differences included: a lighter frame in Reynolds 531 high tensile tube, an all alloy engine, a petrol tank with integral toolbox, a ribbed rear brake drum, TT carburettor, and a gearbox shell in 'Electron' (this was unique to the 1938 models, BSA switched to aluminium for 1939).George was not just a collector – he rode all his machines, and this one had its legs stretched on regular occasions. An accomplished restorer, he went to great pains to preserve this machine's precious original finish while ensuring that all its mechanical aspects worked as they should. In George's own words (written at a date unknown): 'It left the BSA factory with nine others on 17.12.1937 and was delivered to Imperial Motors in Bedford, where it was displayed until registered in May 1939. Nothing is known of the bikes history until December 1947 when it was acquired by a Mr George Lockwood of Bedford, who may well have bought it from Imperial Motors where it would have remained during the war years. He sold it in July 1948 to a Mr Joseph Ford of Stony Stratford, Bucks and it was next sold on to Mr Gilbert Ball of Cheltenham in March 1949. (I have a copy of the original advertisement in 'The Motorcycle' dated 10.3.49, which describes the bike as being in 'as new' condition). Mr Ball owned the bike until June 1961 when it was sold to a Mr James Hehir. From 1962 until 1994 it lay unused in a shed in Gloucestershire, where it was discovered by the family of the last known owner, a Mr Tony Price. His sons Rob & Dexter Price, both ex TT & Manx GP riders, recommissioned the bike in 1996, and it was ridden again for the first time in 34 years at the Silverstone Classic Motorcycle Festival, and displayed on the BSA Gold Star Owners Club Stand. The bike saw little use after that until I acquired it in April 2000. I carried out a thorough mechanical and electrical overhaul, after which I have used it regularly on the road. It has appeared every year since 2001 at the Coupes Moto Legende at Montlhery and Dijon and on two occasions at Cadwell Park at the Beezumph Rally. It remains 100% original and unrestored, and, in my opinion, is the finest and most interesting of the 30 or so M24 Gold Stars still in existence around the world.'CMJ 159 is accompanied by a notebook, multiple invoices, current and old style V5Cs, photocopies of period magazine articles, correspondence from the previous owner with our own Malcolm Barber as well as the Gold Star Owners club, and the Brooks invoice dated 16.4.2000 which is made out to George's great friend, the late Dr George Cohen, who had bought it on his behalf. No keys are supplied. The engine oil is believed to have been drained and some recommissioning is recommended following a period of inactivity. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. This is a truly unique opportunity to acquire the oldest surviving matching numbers BSA Gold Star in wonderfully original condition.Footnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1925 Raleigh 799cc Model 12Registration no. KM 189Frame no. 1654Engine no. V1644•Rare Raleigh twin-cylinder model•An older restoration offered for re-restoration•Comes with a spare Raleigh v-twin engineBritain's best-known and longest-lived bicycle maker, Raleigh also manufactured motorcycles from circa 1902 to 1905, and again from 1919 to 1933. More recently, the Nottingham company offered a range of mopeds plus a scooter in the late 1950s/1960s. Raleigh's first powered two-wheeler looked very much like the contemporary Werner, carrying its engine in front of the steering head with drive being transmitted via belt to a large diameter pulley clipped to the spokes of the front wheel. Already obsolete, that first Raleigh was soon superseded by a range of more conventional machines, the first of which appeared at the 1903 Motor Cycle Show. Sales must have been disappointing though, for only two years later Raleigh announced its complete withdrawal from the motorcycle market. The firm was back immediately after The Great War with a horizontally-opposed inline twin of advanced design, and during the 1920s the Raleigh range would expand to include machines of a wide variety of capacities and types, ranging from a 175cc unitary construction lightweight to a hefty 998cc v-twin. In 1924 the horizontal twin was replaced by a new 799cc v-twin, which was available as a solo (Model 12) or motorcycle combination (Models 13 and 14). Rated at 7hp for taxation purposes, the sidevalve engine was of Raleigh's own design and manufacture. The new v-twin featured all-chain drive via a Sturmey Archer three-speed gearbox, Brampton Biflex forks, dummy belt rim front brake and a 7' drum brake at the rear. A compact design meant that wheelbase ended up only 2' longer than that of the contemporary 350 single, making the twin a pleasant machine to ride in solo trim. This example of a rare British v-twin was purchased by the private vendor's father sometime before 1970, from a Kent-based dealer who had secured this and various other motorcycles from Chatham docks where they had been laid up by WW2 servicemen. We are advised the motorcycle has benefited from a replacement Alpha big-end bearing (at date unknown). An older restoration offered for re-restoration, the machine comes with a semi-dismantled Raleigh v-twin engine (numbered 'V1511') and a V5C Registration Certificate.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1926 Sunbeam 493cc Model 9 Parallel SprintRegistration no. BF 9788Frame no. OP760Engine no. 290/691With victories in the Senior TT in 1920 and 1922, racing success created greater demand for Sunbeam's products, and they were soon lauded as producers of one of the 'quality' sporting machines of the day. BF 9788 was acquired by the vendor in 2016, when he was looking for a quality motorcycle suitable to enter events for vintage machines. When acquired, it was unregistered, and in need of attention. The vendor advises that the top end of the engine was stripped, checked and rebuilt, the clutch was refurbished, new mudguards fitted, front forks rebuilt, petrol tank was repainted, the gearbox regreased, and a new rear tyre was fitted. The magneto was checked, and the ignition re-timed. Following the work, the Sunbeam was used at the Curborough Sprint in 2021, then entered for the Montlhery Vintage Revival in May this year. At Montlhery, the Sunbeam completed four track sessions and is reported to have performed faultlessly throughout. The Sunbeam Owners Club provided a dating certificate listing the model as a 'Model 9 Parallel Sprint'. Papers in the history file suggest that whilst the frame number relates to a Model 9 Parallel, the frame may have been modified to Sprint specification, possibly by the factory. Also mentioned is that the rear wheel may be a works type, with the brake drum on the nearside. The DVLA have recorded the maker as John Marston Ltd on the V5C. Please note that the stand used for the catalogue photos is not included with the machine. Documentation comprises a current V5C, the aforementioned dating certificate, and miscellaneous papers.Key not requiredFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Property of the late Warrick Blackwell c.1978 Yamaha TZ350E Racing Motorcycle ProjectFrame no. 383-996173Engine no. R5-996173Minstay of 250cc and 350cc class racing at national and international level for many years, the twin-cylinder two-stroke Yamaha well deserved the title of 'privateer's friend'. Following its successful adoption on the 1972 works twins, water cooling first appeared on Yamaha's over-the-counter racers with the introduction of the TZ 'A' range in 1973. Power output increased only marginally over that of the preceding air-cooled TD/TR models but reliability was much improved. Over the succeeding decade the TZ engine was updated with reed-valve induction, exhaust power valves, separate cylinders and a backwards-rotating crankshaft, but the layout always remained that of a parallel twin. On the chassis side, discs replaced the original drum brakes, a 'lowboy' frame was introduced and an aluminium swinging arm adopted. With Yamaha concentrating their resources on developing their 500 Grand Prix bike and the new TZ750, the smaller TZs remained unchanged through 1974 (TZ250/350B) and 1975 (TZ250/350C). Mono-shock rear suspension and disc brakes came in with the 'C' models for 1976 together with revised cylinder porting and reshaped expansion chambers. Few changes were made to the successor 'D' and 'E' models. This matching-numbers TZ350E has been upgraded with a TZ750-style twin front disc brake. Its history, condition and completeness (or otherwise) are not known and thus the machine is sold strictly as viewed.

Property of the late Warrick Blackwell c.1978 Yamaha TZ250E Racing Motorcycle ProjectFrame no. 430-996548Engine no. DS7-996548The mainstay of 250cc class racing at national and international level for many years, the twin-cylinder two-stroke Yamaha well deserved the title of 'privateer's friend'. Following its successful adoption for the 1972 works twins, water cooling first appeared on Yamaha's over-the-counter racers with the introduction of the TZ range in 1973. Power output remained the same as that of the preceding air-cooled TD/TR models but reliability was much improved. Over the succeeding decade the TZ engine was updated with reed-valve induction, exhaust power valves, separate cylinders and a backwards-rotating crankshaft, but the layout always remained that of a parallel twin. On the chassis side, discs replaced the original drum brakes, a 'lowboy' frame was introduced and an aluminium swinging arm adopted. With the 250cc class now defunct at World Championship level, these purpose-built Grand Prix racers are becoming increasingly collectible and this TZ250E represents a wonderful opportunity to acquire one. Unfortunately, nothing is known of the racing history of this incomplete example, which is rare in retaining matching frame and engine numbers. The only documentation is an undated sales receipt for the sum of £1,000 (the last two frame/engine number digits are transposed). Not ridden for some time, the machine is offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed.
