1952 Sunbeam 489cc S7Registration no. SSL 610 (see text)Frame no. S7 6166Engine no. S7 298A wartime design by Erling Poppe, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with overhead-camshaft engine, shaft drive and plunger rear suspension. The clutch housing and four-speed gearbox bolted directly to the back of the engine, which was rubber mounted in the duplex loop frame, an innovation that required a flexible joint in the exhaust system ahead of the silencer. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional, and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7' brake were now standard BSA components and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. This S7 comes with numerous invoices from marque specialists Stewart Engineering; a photocopy V5 registration document; some expired MoTs; and a Certificate of Permanent Export (exported 20/02/2004). The registration 'SSL 610' is recorded in the HPI database with an 'Export' marker. Accordingly prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to this motorcycle's registration status prior to bidding and will need to apply to the DVLA to retrieve the Vehicle Registration Number.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1951 Sunbeam 489cc S8Registration no. PHA 363Frame no. S8-3354Engine no. S8-5423Designed in wartime, the Sunbeam inline twin was introduced by BSA, owners of Sunbeam Cycles Limited, in 1947. A luxury tourer inspired by the pre-war BMW, it was of advanced specification with overhead-camshaft engine, shaft drive and plunger rear suspension. The first S7 version was equipped with balloon tyres, a feature not carried over to the deliberately more conventional, and also lighter and cheaper, S8 introduced in 1949. The front fork and 7' brake were now standard BSA components and there were numerous other changes made in the interests of rationalisation. Never as popular as BSA's more performance orientated models, the gentlemanly S7 and S8 remained in production until 1957. This S8 was first registered to Chas E Cope & Sons Ltd of Edgbaston, Birmingham and sold new to one John Albert Taylor of Hagley, Stourbridge. The original logbook records no further owners and has licensing stamps up to 1961. A receipt and hand-written note on file state that the Sunbeam had been bought for the collection in December 1988 as part of a house clearance, having been stored for many years, and that it had recorded under 13,000 miles at that time. Offered with an old-style V5. The registration 'PHA 363' is recorded in the HPI database; nevertheless, prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves with regard to its registration status prior to bidding.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

1990 Honda VFR750F-LRegistration no. G779 XAEFrame no. RC36-2003917Engine no. unable to accessHonda had a lot riding on the VFR750F when it arrived in 1986, not the least of which was having to live down the preceding VF750's appetite for camshafts and cylinder heads... The VFR750F was introduced a sports bike to compete with Suzuki's GSX-R750 and Yamaha FZ750, but with the passage of time found itself reclassified as a 'sports tourer', a role in which it excelled. The new V4 engine was slotted into a state-of-the-art aluminium beam frame, replacing the VF750F's steel chassis, while the latter's shaft drive was dropped in favour of a lighter and more efficient chain. Early VFR750Rs featured a conventional two-sided swinging arm while later (1990 onwards) models have used a single-sided swinger.This example was acquired for the collection in August 2016. The sales receipt is on file and the machine also comes with a V5C document; sundry bills; and a quantity of MoTs (most recent expired March 2017).

Property of a deceased's estate 1930 Scott 596cc Flying Squirrel De Luxe Registration no. 8063 MN (IOM see text)Frame no. 37Engine no. FY3521A•The 1930 Olympia Show machine•Long term enthusiast ownership from 1966 – 2020•1931 model but eligible for the Banbury Run and other vintage events•An eye catching and rare ScottScotts have always been different from more mainstream motorcycles in much the same way as Bugattis in the world of vintage cars – indeed the Scott/Bugatti comparison is one that has been made many times before. From the very beginning in 1908 Scotts have attracted a following bordering on the fanatical. It was at the 1931 Manx Grand Prix that the well-known racer Noel Mavrogordato was advised that he could win quite easily if he rode a Norton. His response was that he knew this, but he would rather lose on a Scott.The factory's 1931 sales brochure relates that the 'new type Flying Squirrel Model for 1931' was developed from the previous year's Sprint Special model. The major change was the adoption of the Sprint's slightly lighter single downtube frame. There were two variants of the new Flyer: the more basic Tourer, and the more highly specified De Luxe which is the model offered here. Amongst the features of the De Luxe were Scott's own 'kite' forks and an Enfield rear wheel with its cush-drive. Both new Flyers featured a new chrome plated petrol tank whose shape mimicked that of the ongoing TT Replica model.A letter dated 23.6.99 from the late John Underhill, then registrar of the Scott Owners Club, is supplied with this machine in which he confirms that the frame and engine number are the original pairing, and that 'It was despatched from the factory to Kitsons London on 5/11/30 and was in fact one of the 1930 show models.'The late owner acquired the Scott in January 1966 and used it as his daily transport for many years. Perhaps he already had a rebuild in mind, and this may have been the reason for consulting John Underhill, but John's letter with its detailed information certainly steered the direction of the restoration. We understand that the work, including an engine rebuild, was carried out about twenty years ago. Specialist tasks were farmed out, but there is no supporting paperwork. The tank work was by Terry Hall, and it was suitably decorated by Alan Templeton. We understand that the Pilgrim pump was modified to drip feed operation for more reliable engine lubrication. This is a known and respected modification.The machine is presently registered in the IOM (8063 MN) and was previously UK registered 'GK 2003'. Sadly GK 2003 has lapsed from the DVLA/HPI databases, therefore UK purchasers will need to re-register the machine for use on UK roads. Documentation includes a Manx registration certificate, an older Manx buff logbook, and a VMCC extract from the works records. Following a period of inactivity recommissioning is recommended. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition.Lot to be sold without reserve.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: NN If purchased by a UK resident, this machine is subject to a NOVA declaration, whilst the responsibility of submitting the NOVA rests with the Buyer to do so, Bonhams will facilitate the process by engaging an agent (CARS) to undertake the NOVA on the Buyer's behalf. A fee of £250 + VAT to do so will be added to the Buyer's invoice.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
c.1933 Rudge 500cc Speedway Racing MotorcycleFrame no. noneEngine no. D6•Believed one of approximately 12 built•Ultra-rare engine type•Believed used by the Southampton Speedway Team•Present ownership for more than 60 yearsDirt track (speedway) racing arrived in the UK in 1928 from Australia, the first make of motorcycle to achieve dominance on the cinders being Douglas. The latter was soon deposed and for a while it was the lighter and more compact Rudge that ruled the roost before the arrival of the ubiquitous 'Speedway JAP' set the pattern for the next 30 years. Equipped with the 1927 works-type engine, Rudge's first speedway prototype was assembled in June 1928 and the model entered production the following month. At first the frame was fitted with bracing struts to prevent flex, though these would soon be abandoned. The speedway engine was redesigned for 1930 and new front forks adopted on the dirt-tracker, which continued to be highly successful; indeed, in 1931 Rudge's advertising was able to claim that the most successful speedway competitors rode Rudges. Production of the Rudge speedway model ceased in 1933, though they continued in use for a number of years, sometimes fitted with JAP engines. Before then the factory had completed a small number (in 'Don't Trudge it, Rudge it', Bryan Reynolds says approximately 12) of what would have been the next production speedway iron. This new machine retained the existing cycle parts but featured an entirely new engine. According to Reynolds: 'The cylinder head retained the four semi-radial valves, but the bottom end was totally new. A very much lighter cylinder barrel was fitted, with fairly small fins. This was retained by six through-bolts, which screwed directly from the head into the crankcase. The flywheels had been reduced to 7in in diameter, and the engine had a compression ratio of 10 to 1, producing 40bhp at 6000 revs.' Despite the machine having shown itself to be competitive, there was no money available to continue its development. This ultra-rare Rudge is believed to be one of 10 built for the Southampton Speedway Team in the early 1930s. It has a braced, nickel-plated frame and is fitted with one of the aforementioned special Rudge speedway engines (it is believed only 20 of these were built, all with numbers prefixed 'D'). The machine was acquired by the Rudge-enthusiast vendor from one of the Poole Pirates Speedway Team's mechanics at some time during the 1950s as an engine and frame project. It was subsequently reassembled using correct parts to replace any that were missing. Not used for many years, it will require re-commissioning to bring it back to running condition.

Indeed, in 1931 Rudge's advertising was able to claim that the most successful speedway competitors rode Rudges. Production of the Rudge speedway model ceased in 1933, though they continued in use for a number of years, sometimes fitted with JAP engines. This speedway Rudge was acquired by the Rudge-enthusiast vendor at some time during the 1950s. The machine last ran many years ago and since then has been kept in storage.

1954 Triumph 498cc Speed TwinRegistration no. RYC 63Frame no. 48852Engine no. 5T 48852Although Edward Turner's Speed Twin caused a sensation when it appeared at the 1937 Motorcycle Show, few of its admirers can have guessed how influential the design would prove to be; indeed, Triumph's newcomer established a formula that would be adopted by all of Britain's major motorcycle manufacturers in the succeeding decade. And whereas previous vertical twins had suffered from excess bulk, Turner's was lighter and narrower across the crankcase than the contemporary single-cylinder Tiger 90, and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single. Performance proved exemplary for a road-going 500, better than 100mph being attainable under favourable conditions. The example offered here dates from 1953, by which time the Speed Twin had been upgraded with a stronger 8-stud cylinder barrel (replacing the original 6-stud) and Triumph's own telescopic front fork. This particular machine also has the Edward Turner-designed optional 'Sprung Hub', which endowed the rigid frame with a measure of rear suspension movement. 'RYC 63' was purchased by the vendor's late brother in 2006 and restored by Sammy Miller between 2009 and 2013. Kept in a dry heated garage, the Triumph was last used in 2014 and is presented in very good condition throughout. Re-commissioning and the customary safety checks will be required before returning it to the road. The machine is offered with the 2006 purchase receipt; sundry bills; and a current V5C document.

Property of a deceased's estate 1976 Honda CB200Registration no. NDF 258PFrame no. CB200-1042624Engine no. CB200E-1044936Introduced in 1973, the Honda CB200 sports roadster superseded the old CB175 and came with a tubular spine frame, twin carburettors, a five-speed gearbox, and either a drum or disc front brake. Back in 1974, Bike magazine found theirs a little slower than both the Yamaha RD200 and Suzuki GT185, though considerably more economical. 'It might not be the fastest thing around,' remarked Britain's No.1 motorcycling magazine, 'but somehow it looks and feels more like a real motorcycle than its two-stroke counterparts. It's a little bike with a big heart'. Physically smaller and lighter than Honda's contemporary 250, it must have seemed the ideal mount for lady riders and gents small in stature. Purchased new in 1976 from Peter Hammond Motorcycles of Cirencester (sales receipt on file), this CB200 has had only one owner from new and currently displays a total of 22,826 miles on the odometer. The machine was last taxed to the end of April 1989 and is offered for restoration (the engine turns over). Accompanying documentation consists of an old-style V5; expired MoT (1989); HPI check; and a 1976 owner's manual and vehicle service booklet. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with a spare fuel tank.Lot to be sold without reserve.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Number '8' of only 500 built 2019 CCM 600cc Spitfire BobberRegistration no. MX69 FXEFrame no. SMZHC60CP19A00619Engine no. CCM201 808066•One owner from new•Circa 900 miles from new•Factory fitted accessories/upgradesFormerly a specialist manufacturer of mainly moto-cross machinery, CCM in more recent times has reinvented itself as supplier of bespoke limited-edition motorcycles aimed at the 'hipster/custom' market. The Spitfire Bobber offered here is one such. A member of the currently nine-strong Spitfire family, its looks recall those of the cut-down 'bobber' bikes that first emerged in North America in the 1930s and 1940s. In CCM's own words: 'These were stripped back minimalist machines with all accessories removed, a 'chopped' rear and a lowered seat height making for a more compact, lighter motorcycle. It was a logical choice then to launch our own version of the Bobber, taking its underpinnings from the lean and lithe Spitfire, a bike as stripped back as a modern road legal bike can be.'The Spitfire range is powered by a 600cc water-cooled four-stroke single boasting twin overhead camshafts and fuel injection, whose 55-horsepower maximum is transmitted to the ground via a six-speed gearbox. This compact engine/transmission unit slots into a TIG-welded steel trellis frame equipped with Marzocchi USD forks and a YSS rear suspension unit, but perhaps the Bobber's most striking feature is its floating tractor-style saddle. Only 500 individually numbered Bobbers will be made, the example offered here being the eighth in the series. Number eight is considered to be a lucky number in Chinese and other Asian cultures. Sold new to the current owner in December 2019, it has covered only some 900 miles from new and is presented in commensurately good condition. Factory fitted accessories/upgrades include a second front disc brake; updated stand; Stage 1 modified ECU and battery; and billet reservoir caps. The machine also comes with a battery charger and CCM bike cover. The foregoing added around £1,000 to the circa £10,000 base price (see sales order on file). The Billet optional extras were included gratis as a goodwill gesture by CCM to compensate the owner for a delay in delivery, so there is no invoice for those (refer to the CCM web site for full price list of extras). It is understood that the two-year warranty is transferable to the next owner. Last ridden in May 2021, the machine has been used regularly, mostly for local trips, and at other times has been garaged beneath its CCM cover. The last service and warranty work was carried out in March 2020. The machine comes with a V5C registration document and its original leather wallet containing the owner's manual and service book.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
1985 Suzuki GSX-R750FRegistration no. B250 DVVFrame no. GR71A-100683Engine no. R705-102585Suzuki rewrote the 750-class rulebook when it launched the GSX-R750 back in 1985. The 'Gixxer's development had been heavily influenced by lessons learned from the works TT F1 and Endurance racers of the late 1970s and early 1980s; lighter than a 600 and as powerful as a 1000, it made all other super-sports 750s seem flabby and slow. One of the modern era's few instant classics and until recently the sole surviving Japanese 750cc sports bike, the GSX-R750 has been a huge commercial success for Suzuki and enjoys cult status today. Now more than 30 years old, many early GSX-Rs have suffered at the hands of successive owners, a state of affairs that has resulted in original examples of the first version, such as that offered here, becoming increasingly sought after by collectors. Displaying a total of 44,954 miles on the odometer, this early GSX-R750 was sold new by Heron Suzuki GB and comes with the original bill of sale. The vendor describes the machine as in good condition throughout, benefiting from new front brake pistons; ultrasonically cleaned carburettors; and repainted top fairing. Although started earlier this year, the Suzuki has not been used for some 9-10 years and will require re-commissioning before further use. Representing a rare opportunity to acquire a fine example of Suzuki's iconic 'Gixxer', the machine comes with a handbook; two keys; and a V5C document.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Seeley 500cc G50 Replica Racing MotorcycleFrame no. R.M.T MK.2 259REngine no. MN2•Roger Titchmarsh frame•Minnovation Racing engine 92x75mm bore/stroke•TT Industries six-speed gearbox•Maxton suspensionMany-times British sidecar champion Colin Seeley bought Associated Motor Cycles' racing department when the company went into receivership in 1966. The previous year he had constructed the first Seeley racing frame to house a Matchless G50 engine, and the AMC purchase enabled him to produce complete Seeley G50 and 7R machines. With their improved frames, the ageing four-stroke singles enjoyed renewed competitiveness, Dave Croxford winning the British 500 Championship on a Seeley G50 in 1968 and '69. The Seeley frame progressed from the duplex cradle original to the similar but lighter Mark 2 before the down-tubes were abandoned with the Mark 3, the headstock and swinging arm pivot of which were linked solely by tubes running diagonally above the engine. Introduced in May 1971, the Mark 4 was lighter still, featuring a revised layout of thin-wall tubes, and continued in production until 1973. Production of Seeley frames was later licensed to Roger Titchmarsh and there have been countless unauthorised copies made over the years. Surely a potential winner in the right hands, this well specified and equally well put together Seeley G50 replica has been raced by Bob Light's sponsored riders Lancelot Unissart and before him Joop de Pol of the Netherlands. Built from a Minnovation Racing kit, the machine features a Roger Titchmarsh Mark 2 frame and a Minnovation 92-bore twin-plug engine, the latter alone costing in excess of £11,000. Other specification highlights include a TT Industries six-speed gearbox; Bob Newby belt primary drive; Electrex World electronic ignition; Scitsu rev counter; Menani drum brakes (double-sided 4LS at the front); and Maxton front and rear suspension. A spare sprint tank is included in the sale together with the fairing lower half. Re-commissioning will be required before this machine returns to the track.

Production of Seeley frames was later licensed to Roger Titchmarsh and there have been countless unauthorised copies made over the years. This Seeley-BSA was ridden by Bob Light's sponsored rider Lancelot Unissart. The machine's Seeley Mark 3-replica frame is believed to have been manufactured by two Peterborough-based engineers, one of whom was Pete Odell. The machine has a Roy Shearwood-prepared short-stroke engine (precise bore/stroke dimensions unknown), which breathes via a Dell'Orto carburettor and has Electrex World ignition. Other specification highlights include an oil cooler; TT Industries six-speed magnesium gearbox; Bob Newby belt primary drive; Maxton-modified Ceriani forks; Minnovation fork yokes; disc brakes (the front gripped by a 4-piston Sumitomo 'Blue Spot' calliper); and a KTM-type chain guide.

True, there had been vertical twins before; indeed, Turner's predecessor at Triumph - Val Page - had designed one a few years previously, but Triumph's newcomer established a formula that would be adopted by all of Britain's major motorcycle manufacturers in the succeeding decade. And whereas previous vertical twins had suffered from excess bulk, Turner's was lighter and narrower across the crankcase than the contemporary single-cylinder Tiger 90, and from certain angles looked just like a twin-port single.

The late 'pre-unit' example offered here dates from circa 1957, by which time the Speed Twin had been upgraded with a stronger 8-stud cylinder barrel (replacing the original 6-stud); Triumph's own telescopic front fork; and a swinging-arm frame among many other improvements. Formerly registered '713 BWL' (since transferred), the Triumph was purchased in August 1986.
