The Trail Blazer T25SS (Street Scrambler) was mainly built for the UK market with the T25T being mainly for the US market - the only real differences being the front brake and mudguard. The bike itself handles well and is a lot of fun to ride - and received a positive press at the time it was released. This very charming Triumph T25SS Blazer was purchased new in Monmouthshire by the current owner’s brother. It has never left the county in all its years. He used it until 1975, when he fell off it (at a slow speed), and decided it was not for him anymore. It was parked up for the next 45 years. The current owner purchased it from his brother, as he did not want it to sit there anymore. Once he got it home he set about getting it running again and it was bought back into life with ease. Last run a couple of months ago, it is in a very original condition for its age. It comes complete with a current V5C.

The first motorcycle to be produced at the Wolverhampton workshops of Sunbeam proprietor John Marston, who had been a manufacturer of high-quality enamel item, pedal cycles and, from 1912, automobiles. It was at the 1921 French GP that the marque’s soon to be famous long-stroke side-valve engine clocked up a debut win for rider Alec Bennett. Powering Sunbeam road machines, this legendary motor was then to remain in production until WW2.

This 1922 Sunbeam Model 7 has been in the same family for over 60 years. It was fully restored over forty years ago and used and enjoyed since its completion. It has competed in countless VMCC events over the years and many Banbury runs since the 1960s. Not run for a while, and dry stored, it will need to be recommissioned before use. It has good compression and would not take too much to get it running and fit for the road. It comes complete with a current V5C. There is a BMS photocopy of the handbook, a couple of old pictures and offered complete with the overcoat and helmet used by the vendor’s father.

The Honda Motor Company was founded by Soichiro Honda in 1937, initially producing piston rings for Toyota. They made their first motorcycle in 1949 and within 10 years had become the biggest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. They have gone on to produce over 400 million two-wheelers as well as millions of other power products. The legendary CB750/4 was launched in 1969 to great acclaim and laid down the blueprint for the modern day superbike and beginning a range of SOHC Honda ‘fours’ ranging from 350cc upwards. The 500 model followed shortly after the 750, eventually growing to 550cc in the late 1970s.
