In the early ‘70s, Kawasaki’s four-stroke four-cylinder Z1 was launched, setting a new benchmark for superbike performance, offering a top speed of over 130mph and its successor, the water-cooled GPZ900 continued this trend, being the first mass-produced bike to top 150mph.

This GPZ900R 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 is presented in good standard and original condition still sporting its Black chrome 4 into 2 exhaust system and fitted with a sports rear carrier. Last run in August of 2022, it will need some recommissioning before use and comes supplied with an original owner’s manual and a current V5C.

• Iconic Pre-war Triumph T100

• Part of a private collection

• Correct numbers machine

The T100 (Tiger 100) was a standard motorcycle first made by the British motorcycle company Triumph in 1939. With the sales success of the Triumph Speed Twin, Edward Turner, Triumph’s motorcycle designer, looked further into developing the potential of the new parallel twin motor. The lighter and more powerful T100 was developed as a sports enthusiasts’ machine, and as with previous models the “100” referred to its claimed maximum speed in miles per hour (mph). Production ceased when the Triumph factory was destroyed by German bombing in 1940 during World War 2, but recommenced in 1946. Several variants were manufactured until 1973.

This 1939 Triumph T100 has been with the current vendor for a few years and has formed part of a collection of Triumph motorcycles. A correct numbers machine, one of Triumph’s most iconic pre-war machines, it has not been used for the last couple of years due to other commitments and will need to be recommissioned before use. It is offered with a current V5C.
