CLIENT FEEDBACK

Richard P, Surrey | Sold with us

“Believe everything you hear about Andy. He's one in a million. Worked tirelessly to get my bike sold, which really wasn't easy. From obtaining some really tricky parts to finish my restoration, to making the bike look a million dollars, it just wouldn't have happened without him - it would still be sat in my garage!"

SOLD | Delighted that this stunning 2001 MV Agusta F4 750 S is now away to a new home - and what a machine. Early bike, right colours, factory mono, 1 former keeper and just over a thousand miles on the clock. Investment grade if ever I saw, with the icing on the cake an original (unworn) MV riders jacket in matching red and silver. Perfection.

Our knowledge and passion for these bikes is boundless, and we’re always on the lookout for the very best examples. Values are really beginning to sharpen now for low mileage, unmodified bikes. If you’re thinking about it… don’t leave it too much longer. And if you have made the decision, get in touch to discuss your options, and explore our stock. We often have bikes not advertised.

NOW AVAILABLE | Delighted to welcome this gorgeous, box-fresh Panigale V2 Bayliss into stock. With just 252 recorded miles, it’s as good as the day it was delivered. And with a titanium @akrapovic system replacing the slightly awkward looking OE item, it really is just perfection.

We’re big fans of the Gen 1 V2. Given the change of direction taken with the current model, these earlier SuperQuadro-powered machines are going to be the bikes to hang onto. 899 residuals continue to be strong, and the V2 really did take the ‘baby’ Panigale to the next level. Resplendent in Troy’s colours, and boasting some nice upgrades over the standard bike, the Bayliss rep really is a brilliant package.

One to use. Or to tuck away. We’ll leave that up to you.

NOW AVAILABLE | For those wishing to worship at the analogue alter, it really doesn’t get much better than this thumping 2011 Ducati 1198 SP - genuinely one of the most exciting bikes I have ever experienced.

With just over 4k miles on the clock, dripping in jewellery, and backed up by a fabulous history, this really is a rare opportunity. Around 60 of these thoroughbred machines were originally delivered to UK customers - fewer remain today.

A bit of a handful?

In a word, yes. But for experienced riders looking for more involvement than today’s sanitised litre bikes can offer, I can’t think of many better options.

Exclusive. Sensational. Proper.

NOW AVAILABLE | Delighted to bring another stunning Ducati 749R to market - on this occasion a very well-specced 2005 Gen 2 machine, currently showing just over 12k miles. Importantly, the bike benefits from the highly desirable 54mm Termignoni system - which not only looks wonderful, but sounds just superb.

The recent recipient of a thorough service and inspection by Louigi Moto, it is absolutely on the button, and certainly one of the best examples I have ever ridden. If you’ve never experienced a 749R, now is the time. One of Ducati’s greatest hits.

SOLD | Delighted to share that we recently found a new home for this unrepeatable, unregistered Foggy Petronas FP1 - reengineered by @lanzantelimited

A great deal has been written about the extensive work undertaken by Lanzante on these bikes, so no need for much more from us.

But simply put: It’s a work of art, and important. Nothing at all like some of the other FP1s that have found their way to market.

We’re immensely pleased that the bike will remain in the UK, in brilliant hands.

And if you’re thinking of finding a new home for something special, you know who to call.

SOLD | Another impeccable Fireblade finds a new home - this time a beautifully original 1999 RR-W. UK bike, 8k miles on the clock, 2 previous owners.

We spent quite a lot of time recommissioning this machine, particularly the fuel system and carbs - fully stripping, cleaning and balancing. Which as you all know, isn’t a 5 minute job. On the move however, our efforts are entirely justified - this bike is as crisp and responsive as the day it was delivered.

In condition like this, the RR-W makes for a seriously satisfying modern classic. A great steer, and just so pleasant to ride. Wishing her new owner many happy miles ahead.

SOLD | Delighted to secure a sale for my friend @sixthgearmotorcycles, and his utterly superb 1098. Such a unique bike this one, with a spec to die for. And those 70mm Termis… just wow. What an occasion it is to ride this bike. Like nothing else I’ve ridden this year.

I love it when we get the opportunity to lean in and help a mate. As I’ve said many times before, the motorcycle community is an incredibly special thing. May that always be the case.

SOLD | Thrilled to place this superb 998 S into a growing collection of similarly exquisite machines, with a deal wrapped up off-market within a week. Little surprise really - this has to be the best and most original 998 I’ve seen for a very long time.

Stunning condition, with just over 4,000 miles recorded. And supplied with some brilliant extras, including the original indoor cover, bill of sale, and Ducati paddock stand. They simply do not come any better than this.

998 values continue to strengthen, and for good reason. A) very few were sold in the UK, and B) it’s hands down the best of the Tamburini-era machines. Timeless looks. Testastretta power.

Urgently seeking another. Please get in touch if you’ve got something similar.

NOW AVAILABLE | It’s hard to believe that Ducati’s original Monster is now over 30 years old - that classic silhouette still looks so good. And this late 2005 620, one of the very last ‘baby Monsters’, has to be right up there with the best I’ve ever seen.

With just 1,900 miles on the clock, this beautiful single owner machine has lived nearly all of its life in Spain, where a combination of gentle use and good weather has preserved it in near flawless, standard condition.

Such a happy-go-lucky little bike, with stacks of air cooled charm, and more than a whiff of ‘proper’ Ducati about it. Goes, looks and sounds like a middleweight twin should, and in this sort of shape, one to treasure - either in its own right, or perhaps alongside a bigger sister (a 916 Senna would make for a perfect stablemate!). On the button, and ready to go.

AVAILABLE NOW | An unregistered Foggy Petronas FP1 - reengineered by @lanzantelimited, and signed by @carlfogarty1

Yes. You read that correctly.

A unique opportunity to acquire one of the most interesting homologation bikes ever developed, fully operational with comprehensive spares back up. Not to be confused with other ‘road registered’ FP1s, the Lanzante bikes are the real deal. And very limited in number.

The FP1 story is well documented, and we’ll leave it at that. All I can say is that this bike is simply jaw dropping - a genuine piece of WSB history. And it works.

Thrilled to be involved with this sale. Please contact us today for price, and full specification. Bike is VAT qualifying, and can be shipped worldwide.

SOURCED | Delighted to put another show stopping MV into the care of @girardoandco.

The F4 750 Senna is an incredible bike, and this particular example is just perfection. Certainly holding her own in some illustrious company - the 250 SWB a particular highlight.

FRIDAY REFLECTION | Just a reminder that Suzuki dropped the radical Nuda in 1986.

Nineteen. Eighty. Six.

The year I was born. One of us seems to be aging rather more gracefully than the other. I shall leave it up to you to pass judgement as to which.

Got me thinking though. I can’t recall seeing a single concept bike in the last 5 years that I found at all engaging from a design perspective. Nothing.

Where are the moon shot bikes? The future pin ups?

Yes stuff like Honda’s forthcoming V3 is interesting. But I don’t want a picture of it on my wall. Not even close.

Are we living in a post-aesthetic world. Where function has become so complicated we can’t be arsed with form any more? It’s been over 30 years since Ducati blessed us with the 916. Thirty. Years.

We’re overdue an icon…

Thoughts? Am I just getting old?

NOW AVAILABLE | Presence? Some bikes have more than others. And some just have it all.

This *stunning* 2023 Harley Davidson Sportster 1250, built by @warrshdlondon, is dripping in high quality additions from the likes of Ricks Motorcycles, and is probably one of the highest specification bikes we’ve ever sold. And with less than 1000 recorded miles, it’s in flawless condition.

Individually numbered, limited edition exhausts from V Performance are a work of art, as is the fatbar conversion. Everywhere you look on this bike, you are rewarded with a bespoke detail. And that colour…

A show-stopping machine.

NOW AVAILABLE | We’re huge CCM fans here - their simple, raucous bikes embody so much of what makes motorcycling such an addictive pursuit. And this exquisite sub-600 mile 2024 Maverick Ultimate Edition is quite possibly our all-time favourite.

An impossibly good looking machine, it’s just inherently ‘right’ from every angle.

Diminutive size, light weight, and a bundle of fun wherever you point it. Gorgeous Excel lace-ups, shotgun exhausts, oodles of hand finished carbon details and billet components… we could go on. It’s a spectacular little bike.

Things may not have gone to plan for CCM as a business, but they really did get the bikes right. If these 24/25 machines are to be their swansong, it’s a hell of a note to go out on. Make it yours.

FIVE OF OUR FAVOURITES | Fireblades.

The great constant.

Has there ever been a bad ‘Blade?

Well, the RR-W was a little portly, the 929 didn’t really set the world on fire, and perhaps the RR4 was too sterile. But ultimately the Fireblade has always been an obvious choice for serious riders, offering a brilliant blend of performance and real world usability.

But which one are you taking home? Here are 5 of our favourites:

1) The OG. 1992 SC28
2) The first evolution. 1994 Foxeye
3) Baba’s masterpiece. 2002 954
4) The last analogue ‘Blade. 2007 CBR1000 RR7
5) The tribute. 2022 CBR1000RR-R SP 30th Anniversary

Let us know what you think… 🍿

We’re developing a unique reputation for sourcing and supplying the very best Fireblades.

If you’re in the market for something similar, just ask. We generally have several in stock at any one time, and they may not appear on our website.

NOW AVAILABLE | Share your F4 odyssey with a (close) friend, and secure this glorious early 750 Biposto (2000) - in unmarked condition and showing just over 2,200 recorded miles.

Practical passion?

Ok, it’s not a VFR. But the Biposto does have room for a pillion, or a tail pack, perhaps opening the door to a wider cross section of riders, and use cases.

A brilliantly usable icon. Only appreciating in this sort of condition and mileage.

NOW AVAILABLE | We’re delighted to offer this charming and highly original 1995 Ducati 750 Supersport, which has covered a remarkable 1,900 miles from new, and benefits from a recent mechanical restoration courtesy of Moto Rapido Ducati, Winchester.

With just two recorded keepers, it’s fair to say this is a pretty unique machine.

Despite a handsome silhouette, the SS has been somewhat under the radar in recent years. But looking at it today, it’s hard to imagine prices will remain this reasonable forever. They’re great fun to own, simple to maintain, and offer an unfiltered, analogue riding experience.

Add an appreciating Ducati to your collection today.

Professionally dry stored for much of its life, it’s been a huge thrill to awaken that screaming 160+ bhp four from her slumber.

NOW AVAILABLE | If there is one bike we’ve become synonymous with, it would be the F4. We adore them. And we only stock the very best.

This… well this one really is rather special. An early (March 2001) 750 S Mono. UK bike. 2 owners from new. 1,200 miles on the clock.

In our opinion, this is the definitive F4. And in this sort of condition, extremely collectible.

Putting the 750 Serie Oro to one side, these early 750 single seaters are the purest reflection of Tamburini’s masterpiece. The poster bike. The OG.

We’ll keep saying it: Get one whilst you can.

SOLD | Delighted to secure a new home for this really genuine ‘08 R1. Again, slightly more miles than we generally deal with, but when a bike is this good, we can look past the odometer.

I’ve got a real soft spot developing for the 4C8 R1; in many ways quite an experimental bike for Yamaha. And whilst I can understand why some riders didn’t gel with it straight away, it really is a bike that keeps you coming back for more. The performance is there, you just have to work a bit harder to find it. And that, my friends, is a very satisfying path to follow.
