Aprilia always had a strong motorsport connection, beginning with motocross racing and then a multiple world championship-winning road racing programme with riders such as Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi.

With a 998 cc 60-degree V-twin engine built by the Austrian company Rotax, the RSV Mille was the first large displacement motorcycle made by Aprilia, who had previously only made smaller capacity bikes.

This RSV Mille has been part of a large and fascinating 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 was last run in 2019 and has been stored since so will need some recommissioning before use. Offered in original condition and fitted with an aftermarket carbon look end can, the original stainless one is included in the sale as well as a current V5C.

Japan had a need for cheap and reliable transport after WWII, so Suzuki was established to produce clip-on engines for pushbikes. An immediate success by the early 1960s, Suzuki was second only to Honda for manufacturing motorcycles. The TL1000S was Suzuki’s entry into vee-twin sports bike market in the late 1990s.

This TL1000R has been part of a large and fascinating 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 second generation of the V-twin TL1000, it featured a twin-spar alloy chassis and Hyabusa styling. This example is presented as ‘standard’ and essentially original trim, fitted with a pair of Micron carbon end cans. Last run a few months ago, it may need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with an owner’s manual and a current V5C.

• Classic Massimo Tamburini designed 996 Ducati

• Presented in standard and original condition

Ducati has a long tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The 996 was the continuation of the iconic Massimo Tamburini designed 916, sporting the same looks but with a bigger and torquier engine.

This 996 has been part of a large and fascinating 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. One of the jewels of the collection, the 996 is still one of the best-looking bikes ever designed and is presented in standard and original condition, including the genuine ‘ZDM B14’ stamped end cans. Last run in 2018, it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a few old MOTs, the original owner’s and service books and a current V5C.

• RS125 GP Rossi Replica presented in original condition

• Not many survivors of this ‘headbangers’ favourite

• Supplied with a current V5C

Aprilia always had a strong motorsport connection, beginning with motocross racing and then a multiple world championship-winning road racing programme with riders such as Valentino Rossi and Max Biaggi. The two-stroke water-cooled RS125 was a close replica of the GP bike, giving road riders a taste of race track handling and performance.

This RS125 has been part of a large and fascinating 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. A stunning-looking bike in Valentino Rossi Aprilia team colours, not many of these race replicas will have survived in this standard and original condition. Last run earlier this year, it may need light recommissioning before use and comes supplied with a current V5C.
