Classic Bikes / Motorcycles For Sale that are Arriving into Stock Shortly     

Honda CB450 Black Bomber; Black; believed to be 1966; it has clearly been the subject of a comprehensive restoration some years ago (we know it has been stored in a climate controlled Car Storage facility together with Rolls Royces, Ferrari's etc since 2017); it starts, runs and rides fine; it is in very good but not concours cosmetic condition; it will clearly require some re-commissioning/checking before being put into active service;  this machine came to us as part of a sizeable collection many of which had no paperwork at all as is the case here; the paperwork had been lost for them; a full and proper receipt will be supplied and the low price will reflect that to allow for the hassle of getting it registered and re-commissioned; as there are no number plates fitted we believe it may have been imported as were a number of the others in the collection; we do know that all bar one of the other machines with no paperwork have now been succesfully registered in the UK with no issues at all

Triumph TR5 Trophy;  1951; Matching Numbers; Transferable registration; Chrome & Silver Tank; Extensively restored some years ago and used sparingly since; fairly detailed history going back 20 years or so; currently fitted with the slightly earlier Square Barrel Top end due to a previous owners personal preference to re-create an ISDT looking machine but a fully close fin top end could be made avaialble either with it or even fitted; very nice machine; previously supplied by ourselves

BSA B31; Maroon & Chrome; 1953; Rigid with Plungers; really lovely condition throughout; featured in July 2024 issue of Real Classics Magazine; previously supplied by ourselves

BSA A65-2SP Spitfire Mk11 Special for sale;

Supplied to BSA Inc in New Jersey USA on 3rd June 1966; Matching Numbers; This machine has been the subject of a complete nut and bolt restoration much of which was carried out by SRM Engineering including a full engine rebuild with a dynamically balanced crankshaft; it appears that nothing was left untouched and is now much like a 12 month old machine having covered around 3,500 miles since; it is utterly stunning; it is also fitted with a SRM 750cc Top End Conversion, Electronic Instruments that replicate the originals, Mikuni Carbs etc etc; Single Humped back saddle is also with it colour coded to the tank; the fuel tank is a steel item covered in a Fibre Glass shell to accurately replicate the original but without the inherent Ethanol problems associated with Fibre Glass tanks; Dunlop Alloy Rims; photos and receipts in the history file; a heap of money has been lavished on this machine to make it probably the best example available anywhere but clearly also not the cheapest.             £9,650

Watch video of the BSA A10 RR Replica running here

BSA A10 Road Rocket 'Replica' for sale;

Registered 17th April 1957; Matching Numbers on the machine and exactly the same on the V5c with a Road Rocket engine but the frame should not be the same as the engine number; no idea why it is so but therefore it is being sold as a 'Replica' although we do know that it has been like this since at least 1968 from a copy of the Buff Log Book in the history file; last owner 12 years; Twin Chrono Clocks; TLS front brake; Road Rocket alloy mascot', flangeless alloy wheels starts exceptionally easily with an extremely sweet yet willing engine; runs and rides very well; for one of these machines, it is remarkably oil tight and has a lovely light clutch with a very good front brake; Rev Counter is running at half speed because it clearly has the wrong drive box fitted on the timing cover; older restoration therefore it does carry a few relatively minor 'battle scars' as it has been much loved an in regular use but still presents well; only being sold due to the long termowners advancing age as he is struggling with the weight of it etc; lovely riders machine            SOLD

Cagiva Gran Canyon for sale;

1998; slightly detuned 900cc Ducati V-Twin engine; UK Supplied Machine;  20,000 km; completely stock and in very good condition; really nice example of this rather rare machine that is clearly not mint being 26 years old but has survived extremely well; it does have some engine paint lifting which has been touched up; excellent mechanically and it goes really very well being lower geared than the 900SS and slightly detuned for more torque; it is huge fun to ride feeling light, nimble and very lively; had a Cambelt Service around 1,000 miles ago albeit 3 years so some would argue that they could do with doing again; toolkit under the seat; 2 keys            SOLD

 

Honda Classic Motorcycles For Sale

    Watch video of the Honda CL400 running here

Honda CL400 for sale;

1998; very good all original cosmetic condition and in exceptionally good order mechanically; we have owned this machine before and it was a real revelation in that it is super comfortable, has lots of low down traction which was a real surprise for a Japanese single and is remarkably lively also handling very well; huge fun to ride; I rode the bike around for a few months when it arrived the first time around and really loved it, my opinion hasn't changed having ridden it again just now. I gather the engines are 'bomb proof'; kick start only but very easy starter with its automatic de-compressor            £2,995

  Watch video of the Honda CB900 running here

Honda CB900F2 for sale;

1981; it wouldn't win any Concours events and it's not purist correct in that it has lost its fairing and has a 4 into 1 exhaust but it does run and ride extremely well; it has been used on many a European Tour and was a reliable old friend to a long term customer of ours who started to find it a little heavy due to his advancing years hence the sale at the time; we then sold it to a local regular customer who has now decided to change it for another British machine; perfect to ride as it is and not be too precious about it or an excellent restoration project as it is mostly there and fundementally very sound; there is a light metallic rattle from the exhaust which can be heard when reved up whilst stationary but at no other time, it` has been there as long as we have known the bike and way beyond that apparently without getting any worse; previously supplied by ourselves       £1,850

Watch Video of the Honda CB550K running here

Honda CB550 K for sale;

1978; we have previously sold this machine to a regular customer having originally purchased it from another regular customer who restored it very well. The last owner did use the bike but clearly looked after it very well and spent a fair bit of time polishing too as it looks even nicer now than when we sold it. It benefits from having what appears to be the original exhausts one of which has been very well and discreetly welded on the underside. A really lovely example that is a joy to ride;                £5,995

  Watch video of the Viceroy running here

1961; 250cc Flat Twin 2 stroke Scooter; original engine, frame and registration which is a valuable transferable 5 digit plate; this machine has been comprehensively restored to a lovely standard having had a great deal of time money and detail attention lavished on it; everything works well including the ELECTRIC STARTER which they were fitted with from new; starts easily, runs well; very discreet indicators fitted; they look like Scooters but feel much more like a conventional motorcycle to ride probably due to the engine being located in the conventional motorcycle position, motorcycle foot gearchane and larger than normal scooter wheels; dcent enough brakes too.       £4,995      

  Watch video of the Velocette MAC running here

Velocette MAC for sale

1954. It has its original engine, frame & registration as is verified by the original Buff Card Log Book that is with it. It has benefitted from recent expenditure of £4,500 which included the fitting of an Alton ELECTRIC STARTER which works very well indeed especially as the magneto has been converted to auto advance. It is clearly a much older restoration which is now showing its age with various chips that have been touched in, some light micro-blistering on the fuel tank and some light pitting/dulling of the chrome. It starts very well both on the electric and kick. It ticks over beautifully probably due to having a new carburettor. It runs and rides extremely well. The engine is very willing. It does have some 'piston slap' but it is minimal and it doesn't smoke once it has cleared its throat after initial cold startup. A very nice genuine little bike that has been nicely sorted but wouldn't win any Concours Events. Due to be featured in Real Classics Magazine shortly.                £4,995

This machine belongs to a customer of ours and is not currently at our premises. Please contact Arthur Farrow directly on:  Telephone : 024 7501 1213 or  Mobile : 0771 007 8586       £13,000
