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.             £P.O.A.

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            £4,500

Watch video of the BSA Super Rocket running here

BSA A10 Super Rocket for sale

1961; This machine is VERY SPECIAL INDEED because it is pretty much entirely original even down to the paintwork. It has covered a mere 20,000 miles from new and has had three owners the last two of which living in Shetland since 1964 which largely explains the low mileage. The most recent owner, an existing customer of ours bought the bike from the Son of the second deceased owner 16 years ago. He stripped the engine purely to check it to find it was in fabulous order thereby merely replacing the rings and big ends for new standard ones as well as cleaning the sludge trap and new oil pump gears all as precautionary measures to ensure reliability. He covered 6,000 miles during his ownership carrying out some other work to keep it reliable including a magneto overhaul. This has to be one of, if not the most original Super Rocket around and is in truly unique, fabulous condition being so very original. It runs absolutely beautifully sounding just as they did when new and it rides absolutely perfectly. It is certainly one of, if the not nicest A10 I have ridden in a very long time and I have ridden lots of them. We have made no attempt to clean it all up for sale as it looks so lovely in its 'working clothes'. A very rare opportunity to find one like this.            SOLD

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.

    Watch video of the Honda Valkyrie running here

Honda F6C Valkyrie for sale

2000; 20k miles; exceptionally lovely condition both cosmetically and mechanically; I'm really torn about this bike. I really want to keep it because it is soooo very comfortable and perhaps surprisingly enormous fun to ride but it is also very heavy and it takes up a fair bit of space which is one thing I'm always short of. It is probably a bit too shiny for me too with all of that chrome to keep it in its fabulouys condition                SOLD

Production Years: 1934 to 1936, Designed, and sold, as a racer the 5/10, or Mark 10, was the top of the range machine when it was introduced for the 1935 model year.

 Velocette Classic Motorcycles For Sale

  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
