Matchless Classic Motorcycles For Sale

Matchless G12 for sale;

1956 frame fitted with a 1959 engine and cycle parts;  cosmetically it can best be described as presentable but mechanically it is really very nice; it starts easily, runs and rides extremely well and is largely oil tight; the engine is sweet, the gearbox has recently been rebuilt using Commando spec Superblend bearings; magneto rebuilt by Dave Lindsley a few years back so it starts well hot and cold; Dynamo overhauled with solid state regulator so it charges fine; recent new Concentric Carburettor; even the brakes work remarkably well for one of these machines; one spoke is broken/missing in the rear wheel; recently had a new stainless front wheel and spokes; the paintwork is a home job and therefore heavily flawed; the chrome is pitting in places such as the tank panels where some chrome has lifted and the rear wheel rim is pitted although not heavily; in summary this is a really nice riders machine but certainly no show bike; I really enjoyed my 20 or so mile ride on it; previously supplied by ourselves; excellent value 650cc twin            SOLD

Moto Guzzi Classic Motorcycles For Sale

Moto Guzzi V50 Mk2 for sale;

1980; this machine has just benefited from a considerable amount of expenditure to re-commission it after a period long term storage; this included full new stainless exhaust system, carb rebuild kits, brake caliper overhaul, new rear tyre, new piston rings, fuel taps and much more; it appears to be fundementally sound, everything appears to work fine, it goes well and it rode quite well on a 12 or so mile road test but it will now need using and some further fettling in that the carburation is not quite right (running rich on the right pot) and I'm sure other things will pop up when it goes back inot regular service;  we just don't have the time etc so it is being sold as a running project; the paintwork on the tank & side panels is far from perfect but overall this machine is a very presentable lightweight that is excellent value for money;              SOLD

Moto Morini Classic Motorcycles For Sale

Moto Morini 350 Strada for sale;

1976; desireable early Spoked Wheels and Drum front brake model; apart from a nice 2 into 1 chrome exhaust this machine looks to be very original; just had cambelt changed; starts easily; runs and rides very well; the machine present very well and is in really nice order throughout                SOLD

Norton Commando 961SE for sale;

2013; Number 136 of the original 200 Special Edition models built with lots of Carbon Fibre (including wheels) and other 'trick' bits; these original ones have to be a future Classic especially now!; 700 miles and serviced twice (first time at Norton Works) in that time; intermediate silencers fitted that look standard but are slightly louder and more free flowing to improve midrange performance (apparently), originals available; Book Pack, 2 Keys and Invoices; dry use only; truly superb throughout; previously supplied by ourselves          Reduced to:-  £11,500

Norton 88 Dominator for sale

1953; Matching Numbers; extremely early UK Home Market supplied machine; it has come to us fresh from a high quality restoration; very correct looking but not 100% purist correct in that it has some subtle upgrades the most noticeable of which is the later alloy head fitted plus a new Monobloc Carburettor and a later camshaft all to aid engine performance to help it keep up with modern traffic; it came to us from a very long standing customer who is a very well respected Norton collector and who had intended it for his own use as a regular Club Run etc rider but due to his advancing years is now struggling to kick start bikes; after the photos were taken I took it for a very enjoyable and gentle 18 mile ride where it performed pretty much perfectly; it didn't leave a drip of oil under it on my return; the clutch is super light; really lovely                    £7,995

Norton 88 Dominator for sale;

1954; not matching numbers but very close; starts easily; runs and rides well with everything working including the charging etc but it does smoke a bit and priced accordingly although perfectly useable as it is; UK road registered in 1976 so currently on a 'P suffix' registration number; much cosmetic restoration work completed very recently so presenting very well excellent value                HELD

Norton 650SS for sale;

1962; Matching Numbers; Green Card Log Book; original registration; very substantial history file with receipts going back around 30 years and even some MOT's from the 1970's; extremely correct & smart looking machine that runs and rides very well; as it is an older restoration it is no longer Concours; Cover & Feature Bike in Real Classic Magazine November 2017; starts easily; runs and rides well; previously supplied by ourselves                 SOLD

Triumph Classic Motorcycles For Sale  

Triumph TR6R Trophy for sale;

1968 Model; Despatched to Triumph Corporation, Baltimore, USA on the 6th November 1967; Matching Numbers; recently comprehensively restored to a high standard; looks superb, runs & rides beautifully with an extremely sweet engine; electronic ignition; Stainless Rims & Spokes; sadly, the wrong type of fuel tap washer has been which caused a leak on the tank on the neaside around the tap and has damaged the paint which has now been touched in and naturally the correct washer used so the problem is resolved but the damage to the paint is just visible as can be seen in the photos; the handlebars are clearly the originals and whilst serviceable, they are not up to the standard of the rest of the bike; otherwise it is hard to fault                £8,750

Triumph Tiger 110 for sale;

1954; Shell Blue; not matching numbers; we suspect that the frame was changed at some time before 1982 because it is now fitted with an identical frame but one that we are advised was used originally on 1955 Thunderbird according to the frame number; both the engine and the frame numbers on the machine itself look original and match those on the V5c; it has come from a 'Deceased Estate' and has therefore been unused for some time but it is now up and running fine, it even charges well; clearly an old restoration and well used since so a bit scruffy in places mainly paintwork but it looks very correct even down to the 'Piecrust' (1 year only) front brake and 5 fin T110 head; Speedometer needle does not operate although the odometer and trip meter do; there is some damage around the lower headlight rim area of the Nacelle which is not imnediately obvious or visible; starts easily and goes very well indeed; Ride or Restore machine and an excellent value pre-unit Triumph big twin                           £5,850

Triumph T120 Bonneville Replica for sale;

1960; original registration; older extremely well documented detailed professional restoration by a Triumph Specialist; looks very authentic even down to the chopped Monobloc Carbs with remote float, pre-unit T120 Head and QD Headlight; it certainly goes like a Bonneville as well and is a pleasure to ride;  has been in regular use so is clearly no longer mint with touched up chips here and there etc and some chrome pitting; engine is stamped with a T120 Prefix (not an original facttory stamping) and matching the frame number but it is believed to have started life as a 6T; starts easily, runs and rides extremely well; previously supplied by ourselves; superb value as you really do get the full T120 experience at not far off half price and this machine is far more 'correct' than many of the 'genuine' examples around             £8,250

Triumph TRW for sale;

1955; Road Registered in 1970 so clearly de-mobbed then; Magneto ignition; Concentric Carb fitted (original is with it) and geared up to make it a lovely road machine (these two mods are very well worth doing as it transforms them; starts very easily; runs and rides really well; some crude repair work has previously been carried out on the leading eldge of the tank by the headstock otherwise perfectly presntable and a very sweet little machine that is a joy to ride; previously supplied by ourselves                £6,000
