Honda VF1000F Made In 1986

This is a real workhorse. A bit tatty but goes well and carried me in and out of London for the best part of a year.

New exhaust, collector and rear tyre. Collector/exhaust leaks at joint (MOT failure) but with a little work should stand someone a very cheap VF!

Dresda Honda 900 Made In 1979

This bike is everything that a 70's superbike wanted to be. From the tuned 900 cc version of Honda's CB750/4, to the hand-made frame and iconic 70's paintwork.

Suzuki GSX 1000S Made In 1982

The Katana range established a tradition of converting concept bikes into reality that continues to this day with the recent introduction of the B King and the suggestion that the Stratosphere six will emerge as a production bike.

By the late seventies Suzuki's GS1000 was being pushed in the market place by revised models form Kawasaki and Honda. Suzuki's answer, given that the machines engine and handling were still among the best in its class was to adopt a radical styling concept. The new model incorporated a top half fairing that was integrated into the overall styling of the flowing bodywork.

Mechanically the engine and transmission remained little changed from the GS1000 and were housed in a conventional tubular steel cradle frame with pivoted fork suspension. The front forks were equipped with an anti dive system.

Suzuki RG250 Made In 1986

Water cooled Two Stroke. The bike is in Walter Wolf Racing livery and the Instuments are original Walter Wolf.

Suzuki T200 Invader Made in 1968

The T200 shared many of the features that had contributed to the larger T20 Super Six models success. The models 23bhp output, light weight (122 kilos) and five speed gearbox resulted in a claimed top speed of 88 mph whilst a twin leading shoe front brake and twin down tube cradle frame endowed the motorcycle with good handling.

Equipment levels were typically high with an attractive combined speedometer and tachometer housed in the headlamp shell, "posi lube" lubrication and twin carburettors being standard features.
