MODEL SUMMARY.

Extremely smart and clean Suzuki GS1000 G in White with Blue decals

Imported from California in 2019, this is a July 1981 bike, and now registered on to an age appropriate ‘W’ suffix number

A lovely example of a GS1000 G, very clean, and retains much of it’s original key specification

In genuinely excellent order, with fresh paintwork and decals, and the bike rides and performs superbly. Some ageing/patina to the engine casings etc, but all in all very smart, and becoming ever so rare now

New Avon Roadriders fitted, fresh engine oil, braided brake lines and new battery. Seat pan has been blasted and powder coated, and the seat itself has new foam and cover

Starts on the button with a very mechanically quiet engine, and sounds fabulous with new 4 into 1 downpipes and exhaust can. Original exhausts provided

Everything works exactly as it should, even the original factory fitted gear indicator

Touted by Suzuki upon it’s launch as ‘The Fast One’ the original GS1000s were the fastest bikes of their day, eclipsing exotica such as the Laverda Jota. A sub 12s 1/4 mile time, blowing the then current Porsche 911 Turbo into the weeds, remains fast today, let alone 40 years ago, and all without a hint of temperament

As the model evolved, Suzuki saw an opportunity for offering shaft drive on the 1000cc model, which had proved incredibly popular on the smaller 850 version. The GS1000 G was thus born, with the ‘G’ suffix signifying shaft (as opposed to chain) drive

This particular bike is totally fit and healthy, and just rides beautifully. Decently quick, even by today’s standards, very good brakes, easy, surprisingly agile handling, and supremely comfortable, anyone riding one of these on a ‘classic’ bike ride out may be cheating a little when in a group of (older) Norton Commandos, Honda CB750s, or Suzuki T500Rs, for example, as this bike is so modern by comparison, and soooo much faster. Just a very nice machine for pleasure riding.

So there it is, a supremely useable classic in a most presentable, smart and clean condition. Actually in our view, one of the best value classic bikes to be had, these GS1000s were, and remain brilliant machines. Untemperamental, docile, and still fast today. One could still go touring on one of these, even now

Usual classic bike issues that can reduce pleasure of ownership, such as oil leaks, non start (kick) issues etc, etc, just don’t apply to these wonderful ’80s Suzuki ‘thous’ This bike will start on the button, each and every time, and can be relied upon implicitly to provide much pleasure in terms of riding and pride of ownership

MODEL SUMMARY.

Glorious Ducati 1198 SP in Ducati Corse Red. 2011 61 Reg

This is the last of the belt driven, trellis framed Ducati Superbikes, just prior to the introduction of the (almost) completely different in every way 1199 Panigale

Very much the end of an era bike, this particular example has led an incredibly charmed, and unusual life

It was supplied new by West Country Ducati franchised dealers Ryders of Bridgwater to Somerset County Council’s road and safety education department. They are the sole registered keepers from new, and the current mileage is just 6000 miles. It has it’s original stamped service book, original purchase paperwork and old MOTs, in addition to extensive in house paperwork from Somerset County Council. Belt service completed 2024. Clear HPI report. All books/documents/keys present

We purchased the bike around 4 years ago, to go in our personal collection. The bike at that time was completely stock, standard, untouched, virginal and as it left the Ducati factory. Since we have owned the bike we have fitted immaculate polished ‘slash cut’ Termignoni silencers, along with the 1198 SP specific Ducati Performance Race ECU, and high flow MWR pod filters, and also covered the seat with suede ‘alcantara’

In 2011, when new, this bike was the ultimate Ducati Superbike that could be bought ‘off the shelf’ from a Ducati dealer. Buying an 1198R Corse, which was in existence at that time, was just not possible with all examples sold out to collectors

Somerset County Council’s modus operandi was simple. By having such a machine present at various public events, it would naturally draw motorcyclists in as a point of interest, particularly superbike owners, thus allowing the road safety operatives the opportunity to communicate with and (hopefully to) educate the motorcycling community, but in a friendly, non heavy, common interest manner 

The 1198 SP is truly a significant machine in Ducati superbike history, as previously mentioned, being the last of an era of bikes that had the Ducati trademark trellis framework and a belt driven motor. These two things alone had characterised Ducati super bikes since 1986, and disappeared with the introduction of the 1199 Panigale

The SP was similar in specification to the last of the S models, but significantly added a lightweight aluminium fuel tank with natural aluminium central stripe, and DQS – Ducati’s QuickShifter system which had not been seen previously. The technical specification included a traditional trellis frame finished in red constructed from ALS450 alloy, magnesium front sub frame, fully adjustable 43mm dia. Ohlins forks, fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock, fully adjustable Ohlins steering damper, Brembo Monobloc calipers with 330mm dia. front discs, lightweight forged aluminium Marchesini 7 spoke wheels, single sided swingarm finished in Black, DDA – Ducati Data Analyser, DTC – Ducati Traction Control, Moto GP derived LED instruments, stopwatch and lap timer, adjustable levers with Brembo radial master cylinders and remote reservoirs, polyellipsoidal headlamps with LED rear lamps, Ducati Corse Race cowl (and pillion seat) and a Ducati Corse Carbon front fender

Quite simply an awesome superbike with stunning looks, sound and presence, of collector quality, and will only now appreciate as time goes by. Meticulously cared for from new and just beautiful in every way, to look at, to ride, and to own

MODEL SUMMARY.

1 of 500 Fireblade SP2s produced worldwide for homologation racing purposes

Pristine, perfect example of a 2019 19 Reg. Honda CBR1000RR SP2-J Fireblade in HRC Tri-Colour colour scheme in Red/White/Blue with Gold forged Marchesini wheels

UK supplied by Honda franchised dealers, Kent Motorcycles. 1 owner. 1400 miles with full service history. Original stamped service book with 1st service completed by Kent Motorcycles and an additional lube service utilising Castrol Power 1 Racing 10w 30 fully synthetic oil and Honda original filter completed by us

In 2017, Honda launched an all new model Fireblade, with the SP1 version costing £19125, and the SP2 as here £22225. By far the most powerful, fastest and technologically equipped Fireblade ever at that time, it featured a heavily revised motor with 189bhp, DLC coated pistons, new cams with greater valve lift, higher 13.1 compression ration and increased 13000rpm rev limit, Full colour liquid TFT dashboard with 3 display modes (Street/Circuit/Mechanic) 5-Axis Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) 9-Level Honda Selectable Torque Control Traction Control (HSTC) Honda Electronic Steering Damper (HESD) Throttle By Wire (TBW) Rear Lift Control (RLC) Wheelie Control, Bosch ABS, 3-Level Electronic Braking Control (EBC) 3 Rider Modes (Track/Winding/Street) 5 Selectable Power Levels, Semi Active Ohlins 43mm dia. BPF forks, Ohlins rear suspension, Brembo 4-piston radially mounted calipers with fully floating 320mm dia. discs and track spec. pads, Titanium fuel tank, Full Titanium exhaust system, Lightweight rims finished in Gold, HRC colour coded race cowl, Full LED lighting, Factory fitted HISS immobiliser and Datatag markings

The SP2 is a true racing homologation bike of which just 500 examples were produced worldwide. As such it is an infinitely more special and exclusive machine than the SP1

The differences are mainly in the engine, which although producing the same power as the SP1 had significant engineering changes that would then allow the race teams to utilise full HRC parts on their bikes

The revised SP2 motor utilsed technology taken from the RC213V Moto GP bike, with larger valves, revised valve angles, revised valve shapes and combustion chambers, elongated spark plugs, new pistons with exclusive crown design and stronger gudgeon pin area with shorter gudgeon pin, and improved cooling characteristics with the water jackets tightly formed around the combustion chambers

Furthermore, the SP2 was equipped with lightweight forged Marchesini wheels finished in Gold, reducing the unsprung weight, and the front/rear wheel inertia by 18%/9% respectively

The Tri-Colour paint scheme was also unique to the SP2 with a distinctive use of Gold in the detail, meaning that these bikes are very easily identified when compared to their lesser brethren

This bike is totally standard and as it left the factory other than for the fitment of a beautiful Leo Vince LV Pro Race Inox exhaust, which both looks and sounds quite wonderful, an R&G tail tidy and aluminium paddock stand bobbins. The original Honda exhaust is also supplied

In the ‘real world’ a latish Fireblade 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 all the electronic trickery that these later model bikes have, you genuinely have what is one of the greatest road going Superbikes ever produced, at any price.

Also worth mentioning i that these bikes look utterly fantastic too, the HRC Tri-Colour colour scheme with Gold wheels is quite wondrous

Totally beautiful bike, in essentially new condition. With 1 private owner, and with just 1400 miles covered, it is clearly one of the nicest examples that will be found

MODEL SUMMARY.

Beautiful MV Agusta F4 1000R 312, a very special and beautiful motorcycle

The R 312 was so called because of MV’s claim as to it’s top speed capability, specifically ‘312’ kmh (or 194 mph) That proved a little optimistic with contemporary road tests recording mid 180s. This one is in the bespoke Pearl White and Pastel Black colour scheme with Red and Silver decals. Standard specification included Slipper clutch with EBS (Engine Braking System) Revised close ratio gearbox, Revised suspension calibration, Steel trellis framework with cast aluminium swingarm plates, Single sided swingarm, Lightweight 10 spoke Marchesini rims, Fully adjustable USD 50mm dia.

13100 miles. Recently serviced with Motul 5100 oil, filter, valve clearances and TPS set and has Supermotard tyres for excellent grip in all conditions. Old MOTs. MOTd October 2021. DVD workshop manual. Clear HPI report

Being a Carbon model, all trim and panels are finished in Carbon Black including fuel tank, seat unit, front and rear huggers, mirrors and fork protectors. Spoked wheels add the finishing touch

Motive power is by Suzuki’s venerable Freewind 644cc Air/Oil Cooled Single developing around 53bhp, and mated to a 5 speed ‘box and wet clutch. An open CCM unbaffled exhaust ensures this bike sounds utterly superb, and performance is properly decent

Long travel suspension incorporates fully adjustable 43mm diameter inverted forks at the front, with a fully adjustable monoshock and piggyback reservoir at the rear. In terms of braking, a large single 320mm diameter front disc with 4 piston caliper works alongside a 220mm diameter rear disc, and proves an excellent, most effective combination

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

A relative rarity, even more so as a Carbon Edition, this bike is commendably clean and in fine mechanical fettle. A fabulous, grin inducing machine that’s good to go…

MODEL SUMMARY.

Glorious Ducati 1098S Tricolore in Ducati Corse Red/White/Green Tricolore colour scheme. 1 of 1031 of these were produced in 2007,  all in the unique Tricolore colour scheme with their trellis frame also in Gold and with Gold forged/machined lightweight Marchesini wheels. Very pretty bikes.

UK supplied, 2007 07 registered and 10000 miles with fully documented Riders, Pro Twins and specialist Ducati history. Belt service and new MOT provided at point of sale. Everything is present including it’s fully stamped original service book, service bills/invoices, old MOTs, all owner’s manuals/handbooks and all keys including keycode card and number tag.

Over and above the unique colour scheme, frame and wheels, these Tricolore models also came as standard with a Ducati Corse Race cowl, and Ducati Corse Carbon Fibre front hugger. More important though was the factory fitted 102dB Termignoni exhaust system with Race ECU, which was an option on the usual 1098S at a cost of around £2000. The Termignonis and ECU added to the ‘standard’ 160bhp / 90 lb/ft developed by the ‘Testastretta Evoluzione’ which, as it’s name would suggest, was an evolution of the ‘Narrow Head’ Testastretta motor seen in earlier 998 and 999 variants (and 996R) and of course added greatly to the aural and visual effects of these machines.

The rest of the spec. came from the more usual 1098S model and included fully adjustable 43mm dia. Ohlins forks, fully adjustable Ohlins rear shock, fully adjustable Ohlins steering damper, Brembo Monobloc calipers with 330mm dia. front discs, single sided swingarm finished in natural aluminium, DDA – Ducati Data Analyser, Moto GP derived LCD instruments incorporating stopwatch and lap timer, and adjustable levers with Brembo radial master cylinders and remote reservoirs

This particular bike also has key desirable options fitted including Ducati Corse carbon fibre rear hugger, Ducati Corse carbon effect tank pad, Ducati Performance anodised clutch pressure plate, Carbon fibre open clutch cover, carbon fibre side infill panels, carbon fibre exhaust heat shield, carbon fibre front sprocket cover, carbon fibre heel plates and a smoked screen. Many of the original parts are also provided.

All in all, a truly beautiful, and wondrous machine, and one of our own personal bikes
