MODEL SUMMARY.

Truly exceptional, collectors’ standard 2009 09 Registered Kawasaki ZX-10R E9F in Lime Green

3 owners from new, with the last retaining ownership for 9 years, and now directly to us from him

2700 miles with it’s original service book, some service bills/invoices, virtually all old MOTs and VOSA mileage print out.  Oil and filter changed religiously, recent brake fluid change, and new Continental Conti Sport Attacks fitted. New MOT provided at point of sale. Clear HPI report. All books/documents/keys present

The E8/E9F (Gen 3) models followed on from the unloved D6/D7F (Gen 2) bikes which were bulky and heavy compared to the original small, lithe, but admittedly unruly 2004 C1/C2H (Gen 1) These E8/E9Fs were a completely new machine in every sense and brought with them a huge advance in technology. The best/most powerful/slickest ZX-10R, and arguably the finest superbike ever, hitherto that point,  taking the attributes of the (compromised) Gen 1 /Gen 2 models, but in a much more rounded, complete package. With pin sharp angular styling, and ferocious performance, they were pretty much the quickest superbikes of the day, and today remain a match for virtually any of the current crop, with a complete lack of temperament…

…the high technical specification included RAM air induction allowing up to 200 ps, Fully adjustable front/rear suspension with 43mm USD DLC coated forks, Ohlins adjustable steering damper, LCD instruments with white tachometer face, Lap timer, LED indicators and tail light, Slipper clutch, Kawasaki Ignition Management anti wheel-spin, Radially mounted calipers and radial master cylinder, Petal discs, Rim tape and a Factory fitted CAT 2 Kawasaki immobiliser system

This particular bike remains essentially box fresh, stock, standard other than for Genuine Kawasaki Options Akrapovic carbon exhaust and seat cowl, Gloss black/mesh rear hugger, R&G tail tidy and  Aluminium paddock stand bobbins 

Totally fabulous, original, beautiful bike, and incredibly rare for one of these to be found like this, with such exceptional ownership and mileage provenance. Not to be confused with lesser examples, and worthy of inclusion into any motorcycle collection, at any level

MODEL SUMMARY.

Beautiful, low mileage, original Lotus Evora 3.5 V6 na. Registered June 2010 on a ’10’ prefix

Finished in Titanium Storm Metallic with Black leather trim

Originally owned by Lotus Cars themselves, it was specc’d in the most dynamically involving way, and as such it has Lotus’s Sport Pack, offering the ‘Sport Button’ for a change to throttle response, traction control and the rev limiter, complete with a titanium sports exhaust (Lotus Blue Tipped type) cross drilled discs, rear diffuser and engine oil cooler…

…and it also has Xenon headlamps, the factory Close Ratio CR gearbox, lightweight 10 spoke forged alloys finished in black along with Lotus Track Pack PPF Paint Protection Film from new

It enjoyed 5 minutes of fame during 2010 when it was used in an episode of Emmerdale (see picture) and as such a rare site at that time was discussed on various forums (google Lotus Evora Emmerdale)

Lotus Cars + 4 owners with the last retaining it since 2019. it has complete known ownership from new with every owner documented within the history file

34000 miles with a fully stamped up service book containing 14 stamps in total, numerous service bills/invoices and numerous old MOTs

Just had Shell Helix Ultra 5w/40 fully synthetic oil service and other recent servicing work includes Coolant flush, brake fluid change, air filer and pollen filter at 33799 miles, Gearbox oil changed at 31804 miles and Suspension drop links and anti roll bar bushes changed at 26100 miles. Has excellent Pirelli Zero Rossos 225/40 18 front tyres and excellent Yokoham Advan Sport 255/36 19 rear tyres fitted

New MOT provided at point of sale. HPI clear. All books/documents/keys present

The Evora was a highly significant car for Lotus, launched in 2009 it was the first Lotus since the end of Esprit V8 production in 2003 to feature an engine of more than 4 cylinders. Styled more as a GT car, it offered a level of refinement and interior creature comforts just not seen in other Lotus’s of the time, and as such targeted other rivals….

….with decent luggage space both to the rear compartment and rear seat areas, and with genuine ease of use and overall refinement levels, these Evoras would make a fantastic companion for a long distance road trip, UK, Europe or otherwise. Their breadth of ability is surprisingly rounded for such a ‘junior’ exotic

The motor was Toyota’s 2GR-FE Quad-Cam unit of 3456 cc capacity and tweaked by Lotus to produce 280bhp. A beautifully smooth, revvy and musical engine, it is also majestically unstressed and offers supreme ease of maintenance for a sports car of this nature

With the usual attention that Lotus applies to all it’s cars, the Evora has a lightweight, bonded aluminium tub that offers supreme stiffness, massively powerful brakes, low centre of gravity, excellent weight balance, and delectably feelsome steering and balance. It’s a proper thoro’bred in all respects

This really is an exceptional example, and remains essentially true to it’s original factory specification other than for a later Kenwood infotainment system (replacing the original Alpine unit)

It drives wonderfully, tight with faultless dynamics in terms of it’s suspension, brakes, clutch, gearbox and drivetrain. Sounds fantastic, and goes very well indeed

In our view, whilst there are more powerful, and more expensive Evoras to be had, the 280bhp normally aspirated revvy unit in this car, with it’s manual (optional close ratio gearbox) 18″/19″ wheel combination, lightweight forged wheels and factory sports exhaust, just offers a fabulous balance, and these na Evoras have all the thrill, fun factor and dynamic ability of supercars 2 or 3 times the price

MODEL SUMMARY.

Magnificent example of a 2016 16 Reg. Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade SP TT Edition in HRC Tri-Colour scheme of White/Red/Blue. Sold by us previously and signed by John McGuiness at the 2023 IOM TT, with signature professionally lacquered and protected

Supplied from new by Honda franchised dealers Sutton Motorcycles in Tamworth. 3000 miles with service history including it’s original stamped service book with 4 x dealer stamps, service bills/invoices and old MOTs. Just had Shell Advance Ultra fully synthetic oil service. As new matching Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs fitted. New MOT provided at point of sale. Clear HPI report. All books/keys/documents

Once part of our own personal bike collection, we sold it in 2021 with 1800 miles. Now returned to us in part exchange

Just 50 of these beautiful machines were produced in 2016 to commemorate John McGuiness’s 2015 Senior TT victory which was not wholly expected, and with him smashing the outright lap record in the process. It was a hugely emotional victory for him

Of the 50 bikes, 7 of them were used during the 2016 TT as the ‘Flying Marshal’ bikes. This bike is one of the other 43

Taking the Fireblade SP as it’s base, the TT Edition added key extras which included an Akrapovic MotoGP titanium exhaust, Gilles VCR adjustable rearsets, Limited edition black Gilles FX Levers with Honda Racing etching, Gilles MotoGP lever guards, Gilles TCA chain adjusters including paddock stand lifters and crash pads, Galfer stainless laser cut wavey discs front and rear, and a Yoshimura tail tidy

This bike also has an HM Quickshifter Plus SS fitted, along with GB Racing engine case protectors, GB Racing paddock stand bobbins, Anodised aluminium brake reservoir cap and HRC carbon style tank pad

The original SP upon which the TT Edition was based had been launched in 2014 and was so much more than a cosmetically enhanced model. The most advanced, lightest, fastest, best handling Fireblade of all time at that point, it significantly had a Factory Blueprinted engine with power output quoted @ 181bhp, HRC revised inlet tract, cylinder head and exhaust system, Fully adjustable 43mm dia. BPF Ohlins forks, Fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock unit, Gold Brembo 4-piston calipers with fully floating 320mm dia. discs, Gold Marchesini lightweight rims, Revised lightweight rear subframe and unique single seat unit, Revised handlebar clip ons and footpeg locations and an Assisted slipper clutch.

In the ‘real world’ a latish Fireblade such as this remains one of the fastest, lithe and agile superbikes that can be bought, with a midrange, flexibility and lack of temperament pretty much unmatched anywhere else. When those virtues are enhanced with a blueprinted motor, Ohlins suspension, reduced weight etc, etc, as with these SP models, you genuinely have what is one of the greatest road going Superbikes ever produced, at any price.

Also worth mentioning that these bikes look utterly fantastic too, with the HRC colours, Gold Brembos and Gold Marchesinis enhancing an already pretty machine no end.

Totally beautiful bike, that needs nothing at all. Produced in very limted numbers and genuinely very rare. Super desirable machine

These Z800s fantastic looking, compact middleweight bike, suited equally to riders moving up the motorcycling ladder, or for more experienced motorcyclists who now just want something small and light, whilst still providing a wholly decent amount of fun

The motor is a 806cc 4-cylinder DOHC unit developing 113bhp, and endowing these bikes with genuinely spritely and spirited performance

The technical specification includes 41mm KYB inverted forks, KYB aluminium bodied rear monoshock with piggyback reservoir, 4 piston calipers with 310mm floating discs, and full digital instrumentation with a triple LCD screen comprising fuel gauge, range indicator, level meter type rev counter and eco riding indicator

This particular bike has some great options fitted which include a Lextek sports exhaust, Radiator guard, Tinted screen, Mirror extenders, Tank pad and Paddock stand bobbins

Particularly smart in this striking Candy Flat Blazed Green / Metallic Spark Black colour scheme this is a delightful bike. With low mileage and owner provenance, it has been very well cared for and is in excellent condition.

MODEL SUMMARY.

Suzuki DR-Z400S Y Dual Sport in Blue/White. Registered April 2002 on an ’02’ prefix

These are brilliant bikes that provide an incredible amount of fun. Motive power is by Suzuki’s venerable 398cc DOHC liquid cooled single 4v motor developing 39bhp, dry sumped and mated to a 5 speed ‘box and wet clutch

This one has come to us in part exchange and just had new chain and sprockets.  It has decent matching tyres fitted, and is MOT’d until October 2024

Long travel suspension incorporates fully adjustable 49mm diameter inverted forks at the front, with a fully adjustable monoshock at the rear. In terms of braking, a large single 310mm diameter front disc with 2 piston caliper works alongside a 220mm diameter rear disc, and proves an excellent, most effective combination. The tyres wrap around a 21″ diameter front spoked wheel, and 18″ diameter rear 

Very light, with strong brakes, super agile handling and a ‘thumper’ engine that thrives on being worked, it all adds up to an absolute hoot of a bike, and one of the best things you can have for less than perfect weather conditions, or a bit of green laning on a Sunday morning

The bike clearly shows signs of use during it’s 22 years, but remains very presentable, and is completely fit and healthy. Great fun…

MODEL SUMMARY.

Ducati 999 BiPosto in Ducati Rosso Anniversario (Anniversary Red) with Red frame and Black wheels

A UK supplied bike first registered in June 2007 on an ’07’ prefix this is one of the very last of the 999s. The previous owner purchased it in 2013

35000 miles with service history. New timing belts, fresh Shell Ultra advance fully synthetic oil and spark plugs provided at point of sale along with a new MOT. Original service book + all original manuals. Service bills/invoices. Old MOTs. Clear HPI report. All documents/keys present

The Ducati 999 followed the much loved 916/996/998 Massimo Tamburini designed series. Penned by Pierre Terblanche, it became one of the most successful race bikes every produced by Ducati Corse, winning 3 out of 5 World Superbike titles between 2003 and 2007. 

It was a huge step forward in many ways, not least being the first motorcycle in the world to utilise CAN bus wiring and electronics, that being in simplistic terms where individual cables and wires serve more than one purpose, or circuit

All 999 variants had the ‘Testastretta’ motor, previously seen in the earlier 996R and 998 models, and literally translated as ‘Narrow Head’ enabling a reduced included angle between the valves, this allowing bigger valves, and necessitating significant re-engineering and re-location of one half of the desmodromic valve gear

The 2005 model year bikes were uprated over earlier versions, and the motor now developed 140 bhp and 80 lb ft. They also displayed some styling and detailing differences, not least being the trademark trellis frame in Red

The mechanical specification was impressive and included 43mm diameter Showa forks, fully adjustable for compression and rebound with TiN anti friction coating, a progressive linkage rear suspension with fully adjustable Showa monoshock, 320mm floating discs with 4 piston calipers, Weber Marelli engine management with 54mm throttle bodies and a very light and stiff box section swingaram

This bike has been much loved, and well cared for by it’s previous owner, and it’s condition completly belies it’s mileage. It is a genuine bike, and is very much entry level money for a big capacity Ducati Superbike. With new belts, oil, plugs and 12 months MOT it will come to it’s new owner fully sorted, needing nothing at all and ready for the season ahead

MODEL SUMMARY.

Ducati Panigale V4 Speciale in the bespoke Ducati Rosso/Bianco/Verde Tricolore colour scheme. 2018 18 Reg. A piece of Italian art

These Speciales were the ultimate incarnation of the then new V4 model, launched alongside the V4 and V4S models, and costing £34995 at the time

Produced in a limited run of 1500 units worldwide, they each had a numbered top yoke, this particular bike being number 688

Supplied new by Seastar Superbikes of Norwich, it has had just 1 owner with only 1200 miles covered

Original service book with 4 service stamps including service bills/invoices. Recent Shell Advance Ultra fully synthetic oil service with new Ducati o.e Skyrich HJT 9B Lithium Battery. Excellent matching Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SPs fitted. New MOT provided at point of sale. Clear HPI report. All books/history/documents/keys present

The V4 Panigale ended the long line of V-Twin Ducati Superbikes, primarily to increase Ducati’s success in racing, which it managed to do very well indeed. The motor was designated Desmosedici Stradale and was a 90 degree V4 1103cc 8v motor developing 214bhp…

…however, in the case of the Speciale power rose to 226bhp due to the fitment of a full Race Titanium Akrapovic exhaust system. An absolute work of art, this exhaust system could be specified on the lesser models, albeit at a heady price of £5000

The specification was the highest ever seen on a road going Ducati, a true technofest in every sense, and included Ducati Electronic Suspension (DES) Ohlins NIX30 43mm dia. TiN coated fully adjustable forks – Semi Active with Smart EC 2.0 control, Ohlins TTX36 fully adjustable monoshock – Semi Active with Smart EC 2.0 control, Ohlins fully adjustable steering damper, Brembo Monobloc Stylema radial calipers, 330mm dia. floating discs and radial master cylinder, Brembo RCS brake and clutch master cylinders with Brembo folding levers, Marchesini forged light alloy wheels, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre front hugger, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre rear hugger, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre heel guards, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre infill panels, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre rear suspension guard, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre swingarm protector, Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre exhaust shield, Ducati Corse Suede Alcantara seat, IMU – Internal Measurement Unit in conjunction with Bosch Inertial Platform, DWC Evo – Ducati Wheelie Control Evo, Bosch Cornering ABS Evo, DTC Evo – Ducati Traction Control Evo, EBC Evo – Engine Braking Control Evo, DQS Evo – Ducati Quickshifter Up/Down with AutoBlipper Evo, DPL – Ducati Power Launch, DSC – Ducati Slide Control, DDA+ – Ducati Data Analysis + with GPS, ATC – Auto Tyre Calibration, RbW – Ride by Wire throttle control, MOTO GP derived LCD instruments and a Ducati engine immobiliser…Quite simply the best of everything

This bike remains exactly as it left the factory other than for the fitment of a Powerbronze tail tidy (original provided) tank pad and Optimate flylead

All Speciales were provided with a standard exhaust system (with specific lower fairing panels) aluminium mirror blank off plates, number plate holder removal kit and an indoor cover. All of these parts are provided with this bike in their original boxes

An utterly fabulous machine, in true collectors’ condition, the Speciale is assured it’s place in Ducati history for being the first and ultimate V4. This one is about as good as it gets, a true automotive jewel…
