CC: 900 Engine No: 017855

In 1971 Ducatis’ renowned chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic vee-twin bevel drive engine and this proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart’s win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. The air-cooled SS models were intended to be sporting Ducatis for the masses, providing an unmistakably Italian motorcycle that didn’t carry the usual Ducati steep price tag and expensive maintenance requirements.
This 900SS has been part of a large collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models, from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas, he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike is presented in standard and original condition, still fitted with its genuine Ducati ZDM B04 end cans, last run in 2018, it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a Haynes manual, an original sales catalogue, tool kit and a V5C.

Yamahas first bike was the YA-1 in 1953, like the BSA Bantam a copy of the German DKW RT125, but in typical Japanese fashion this was soon improved upon with the arrival of the YA-2 in 1957. Keeping the theme of constant improvement the launch of the R1 in 1998 set a new benchmark for Superbike performance with David Jefferies winning 3 races at the IOM TT.
This 2000 R1 has been part of a large collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models he’s decided to downsize his collection. The bike is offered in original condition, a rare thing for a model that was made to be used to the limit, including its genuine Yamaha end can and comes with a single-seat converter. Last run in 2018, it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with quite a few old MOTs and a current V5C.

MOT: None
• ZXR400 Ninja presented in standard condition
• Still fitted with its original ‘KHT K 283’ end can
• Supplied with lots of receipts, old MOTs and a V5C
The ZXR750 was developed in answer to Suzuki’s trendsetting GSXr750 race replica, with a 400 version following soon after, aimed at the Japanese domestic market but small numbers made it to the UK providing crisp and precise handling with a high-performance engine.
This ZXR400 has been part of a collection of bikes ranging from the 1980s up until the early 2000s. The vendor has enjoyed searching out examples of more or less all of the bikes he either owned or wanted in the day, but after amassing over 30 assorted models from a Honda MT50 through to a couple of Bimotas he’s decided to downsize his collection. It’s rare to find a Ninja 400 in standard and essentially original condition, still fitted with a genuine ‘KHI K 283’ stamped end can, as most of them ended up on the race track. Finished in Kawasaki superbike race team colours of the day, it was last run in 2022 so will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with lots of old MOTs and receipts and a current V5C.

The bike is offered in standard and original condition, fitted with a pair of Quill Tri Oval stainless end cans. Last run about 3 years ago it will need recommissioning before use and comes supplied with lots of old MOTs and current V5C.
