The time has come for me to retire so Venture Classics is winding down slowly after 24 years of trading and over 3,000 motorcycles going through our hands.

 I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our Customers many of whom have become good friends for their support and kindness over the years.

Lin & I are hopefuly moving to a Bungalow not far from here with our 4 dogs and once settled I will be looking forward to fiddling about with old bikes again hopefully carrying out one or two full restorations again myself. Something I haven't done for the 24 years. Really looking forward to that. I also hope to keep in touch with many of you but on a more friendly than commercial basis.

Thank you again.

BMW R1150R for sale

2001; Metallic Blue; 23,000 miles; very good service history; non ABS; Remus Exhaust otherwise standard; Cam Chain Tensioner upgrade carried out by us recently; new battery a couple of months ago; recent full service; this has been one of my own machines for the last 3 years; it has been utterly reliable and a joy to ride being supremely comfortable; In fact, I genuinely much prefer the 1150 engine to the later BMW Boxer units;   I'm only selling it as I am going to have to make do with a lot less space for storage and it just hasn't been used enough recently to warrant keeping it; really lovely example throughout        £2,650

Triumph Motorcycles For Sale

Watch video of the Triumph Bonneville Running here

Triumph Bonneville

2002 Triumph Bonneville from its last owner of 21 years. He bought it with just 1,000 miles on it in 2005. He then took it to Norman Hyde to have it extensively modified to turn it into a very special Triumph Bonneville. It has had Norman's 904cc conversion which makes a surprisingly huge difference when combined with the free flow exhaust and re-jetting etc. Feels much more powerful and exceptionally smooth. It has also been geared up. It has progressive Fork Springs fitted with uprated dampers. It has a Hyde Fork brace and steering damper fitted. It runs, rides and handles beautifully. The peashooter exhausts give a lovely fruity bark without being too noisy. Please don't confuse this machine with a standard version. It may look similar but is vastly different. The original parts including silencers are with it. It has the screen fitted as well as a centre stand and rev counter. It has now covered just under 17,000 miles. Lots of documentation with it including a Dyno Test plus receipts for the work & parts etc. Book pack & two keys also with it. It is now a 24 year old motorcycle that hasn't been restored so it isn't 'mint' but it is in excellent condition. The last owner only sold the machine due to his advancing age being now in his eighties. I had intended to keep it for myself but have had a reality check & decided that with my imminent retirement, I have way too many 'toys' so it is now for sale at         £4,250.

    Watch videoof the BSA RGS Replica running here

BSA Rocket Gold Star Replica for sale

BSA Rocket Gold Star Replica. It is a 1955 A7/A10 frame finished in Touring Trim with US style bars. It benefits from having a very efficient ELECTRIC STARTER FITTED. The engine, gearbox and forks have been rebuilt within the last 800 miles. Very authentic looking replica that would fool all but experts but with indicators etc. It starts very easily even on the kick. The machine runs and rides very well. Not Concours but exceptionally smart. Previously supplied by ourselves.   SOLD

   Watch video of the BSA B31 running here

BSA B31 for sale;

1949; original transferable registration; last owner since 1991; older restoration but still presenting pretty well although it clarly has various minor battle scars from use; wheels are in very good condition; very correct looking machine; starts easily; runs and runs nicely with everything working fine; V5c shows that the engine & frame numbers match which they never did on these so it appears to be a clerical error which we can rectify when applying for the New Keeper update when sold if required            SOLD

     Watch video of the BSA A65L running here

BSA A65 Lightning for sale.

1969. Matching Numbers. Last owner since 1996. This is clearly a well used but well loved machine. It is mechanically in very good order with a strong, mechanically quiet engine albeit raspy exhaust note. Starts very easily with electronic ignition fitted. The gearbox, clutch and brakes work as intended and it rides well. Cosmetically it wears a number of minor battle scars all over with pride. The frame and chrome is generally very good with some pitting light on the headlight shell and fork top nuts with a couple of very small specs on the otherwise excellent rims. Sadly a fin is broken on the nearside of the cylinder head as can be seen in the photos. This would be a good example of a ride as it is (at this price) or restore machine. We like it as it is.       SOLD

BSA Rocket Gold Star for sale;

This is a VERY SPECIAL BSA Rocket Gold Star!! 1962; original Buff Log Book; original engine & frame numbers; original transferable registration number; supplied to Broadmeadow Motors, Brimingham 3rd July 1962; almost a complete set of MOT's going back from 2005 to 1974 confirming that the recorded mileage of a little under 10k is almost certainly genuine & correct; this is further verified by a receipt dated August 1983 confirming the then mileage of 4,796 to be genuine and a further receipt from Verralls when they sold it in 2005 with 9,482 miles;  the machine is basically completely unrestored with the exception of the seat cover, we believe that even the exhaust is the original one as the 1st owner had a devils mascot on it and the hole for it on the tailpipe is there; RRT2 gearbox; original Jones chrome rims; we very much doubt that the engine etc has ever been apart and it looks as though most, if not all of the fasteners are original; we sold this machine to join a superb collection belonging to a regular customer of ours who stores and maintains his machines impreccably in 2017 and it has covered a mere 38 miles since; it has been regularly started and run up to temperature with the odd very short ride around the block to keep things moving; the machine starts very easily; it runs and rides as you would expect for such a low mileage; 'Factory Fresh' machines always seem superior to ride even to really well restored ones; there really can't be many more original examples than this bike left; previously supplied by ourselves       Sold

Kawasaki Classic Motorcycles For Sale

    Watch video of the Kawasaki Z650 running here

Kawasaki KZ650 for sale;

1978; Imported from Minnesota in 2021 by DK Motorcycles; it was then comprehensively restored to a very good standard by a regular customer of ours who is well versed in restoring Japanese multies especially Kawasaki's; we generally end up with his machines when he is bored and wants another to restore as was the case with this bike in 2023 when we sold it to a very regular customer/friend who likes to change his machines regularly hence its return to us now; it still presents exceptionally well and is s stunning looking bike; runs and rides beautifully too; previously supplied by ourselves        SOLD

Rudge Classics Motorcycles For Sale

Rudge 250 Rapid for sale,

1938; the last owner who purchased it in 1978 is very much a Rudge man and also owned the Rudge Special listed below; recently largely restored by him during COVID but not really used since and will require finishing; there is a large box of spares to go with it which we assume contains most, if not all of the parts required to finish it although no speedometer; new stainless rims & spokes; we are selling the machine on behalf of the owner who assures us that it does run well and it also rides; we have made no effort to start the bike as it will require a thorough check over first; it does have excellent compression and a good healthy spark so don't doubt it; the clutch appears to work and the gears all select; sold as a stalled, unfinished project because we just don't have the time to finish it off; currently no V5c as it has been mislaid but it there is an up to date entry on the DVLA system so it will just be a case of applying for a duplicate                SOLD           

Specials Classic Motorcycles For Sale

Watch video of the Norcati running here

Norcati 750SS for sale;

1958 Norton 88 Dominator rolling chassis fitted with a 1990's Ducati 750SS engine and correctly registered in the V5c with that engine number; electric starter naturally; engine converted to right foot gear change as the last owner/builder who is a very long standing customer of ours and is very much a British bike man;  he is a retired steam engine engineer & is now well into his 80's hence the sale as he is hanging up his boots; he has owned the rolling chassis since 2013 but converted it to take the Ducati engine in 2015; starts very easily on the button; runs and rides extremely well and is a lot of fun; it really doesn't feel like a 'special' to ride as it rides so well and feels sorted; everything works including the carb de-icers; Borrani flanged alloy rims,TLS front brake; no show winner as it has been very well used but a cracking bike; featured & on the cover of the May 2025 issue of Real Classics magazine; if you want something different, this could be it!!!            SOLD

Triumph Classic Motorcycles For Sale  

     Watch video of the Triumph Tiger 80 running here

Triumph Tiger 80 for sale;

1938; Silver & Chrome Tank; engine & frame numbers on the machine look correct and are from the correct sequence for 1938 suggesting that they are original to each other however, the V5c and Green Card Log Book dating from 1951 incorrectly show the frame Part Number as the frame number which I can see would be an easy mistake to make as this number is very visible on the frame; clearly this error occured before 1951; it is a lovely riders machine which starts easily, is very light therefore quite quick and with an extremely sweet engine; rides very well indeed; paintwork is not to show standard but it is perfectly presentable; we have resisted to urge to clean it as it is the sort of machine that looks lovely in it's 'working clothes';           Sold

 Velocette Classic Motorcycles For Sale  

  Watch video of the Velocette Venom running here

 Velocette Venom Vee Line for sale.

1963; Fitted with an Alton Electric Starter & Thurston Belt Primary Drive. It still has its original engine & transferable registration number as well as its original Card Buff Log Book. Last owner for 16 years during which time the machine has had considerable expenditure lavished on it which is all well documented the most recent of which was and engine overhaul in April 2025 undertaken by Nick Payton & Ken Brady. The bike was clearly restored some years ago but still presents very well indeed just showing the odd mark here and there. Clearly extremely original when restored. Featured on the front cover of Roy Bacons book 'Velocette Viper, Venom & Thruxton' as well as being the cover & feature bike in 'The Classic Motorcycle' in the July 1989 issue looking much as it does now. Copies of both are in the paperwork. Starts easily on the kick & electric starter. Runs and rides very well with everything working as it should.         SOLD
