IMPORTED FROM JAPAN IN 2004 THIS MODEL WAS ONLY AVAILABLE THERE & WAS THE 1st OF THE "Super Four" 1300 CARB MODELS DISTINGUISHABLE BY THE LOVELY TWIN EXHAUSTS WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE ARE STILL IN LOVELY CONDITION & THIS RETRO '80s LIVERY IS UBER RARE. ALREADY BECOMING A DESIRABLE MODEL This bike was part of a deceased estate & a friend bought it off the widow 4 years after her husband passed after it had been sitting. He consequently had a mechanic go through the bike so it has just had the carbs cleaned & balanced, new spark plugs, oil & filter, brake fluids & I have just had the fork seals done with new fork oil & will be getting an MOT for the new owner so he/she can just get on it & ride. Sadly, as she sat on it for 4 years the original paperwork was never found so all I have is a print off from DVLA of the mileage MOT history & obviously V5, however being a HONDA & only just run in with these miles the engine is whisper quiet & runs a treat as expected. NOW THE THORNY SUBJECT OF CONDITION, AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS & WALK AROUND VIDEO IT IS OVERALL VERY VERY GOOD INDEED, HOWEVER IT IS NOT MINT & IT IS 26 YEARS OLD WITH ORIGINAL PAINT ON BODYWORK & FRAME PLUS I'M FUSSY. THERE ARE SOME MARKS TO THE RH SIDE OF THE TANK & ON THE CLOCKS BUT APART FROM THOSE IT IS PRETTY IMPRESSIVE, SEAT PERFECT, ORIGINAL EXHAUSTS GREAT, WHEELS & TYRES GOOD & ENGINE & CASINGS PRETTY GOOD TOO. It is a hard bike to price with its PRO's & CON's but I recently sold the exact same model in the silver/blue livery in slightly better condition with similar mileage for £5,000 so I think the price is fair & quite a bit lower & at the end of the day A LOT OF OLD SCHOOL MUSCLE BIKE FOR REASONABLE MONEY ... and it's a Honda!

You have to watch the video to appreciate how clean & tidy (& sound!) this gorgeous example is. In my opinion this was the best livery they did in this era & with the GOLD lightweight OZ forged alloy wheels setting it off then the RACEFIT end can topping it off (have original & pillion seat) - what a machine. So much bang for your buck with the superb APRC (look it up if you don't know about it) Ohlins suspension, Brembo brakes & lots of factory carbon fibre plus the beautiful polished swing arm and R&G tail tidy & a V4 soundtrack to die for, what's not to like? Just 18,250 miles, 5 DEALER SERVICE STAMPS IN THE SERVICE BOOK UP TO 13K (is due another oil/filter change so either I can do or you may have a preferred dealer), 2 KEYS, OWNERS MANUAL, CLEAR HPI REPORT & ALL IN DEALER WALLET. THE BIKE STARTS, RUNS, RIDES, STOPS PERFECTLY WITH A NEW REAR TYRE & GOOD FRONT, IDLES JUST RIGHT & OF THE 5 RSV4's I'VE OWNED HAS THE SLICKEST FACTORY QUICKSHIFTER & UNLIKE SOME OF THESE NEUTRAL IS EASY TO FIND SO I RECKON IT'S HAD AN EASY LIFE - RIDDEN, SERVICED REGULARLY & IN A LOT OF EXPERTS OPINION BETTER REGULARLY USED WITH THIS MILEAGE THAN A GARAGE QUEEN THAT SPENDS A LOT OF TIME STANDING WHICH IS NO GOOD FOR THEM. Condition wise, well it is extremely good & hard to fault, a lot of which is down to the Aprilia build quality BUT has to be said it has blatantly been pampered during its life. Having just detailed it I can tell from experience. I am semi-retired & do this as a passion/pension top up - consequently my bikes are competitively priced (I have no overheads) & I believe you will not find better presented examples as I personally detail them PROPERLY with no jet washing or harsh chemicals by using waterless wash & go system & a lot of WD40.

FIRSTLY, I BOUGHT THIS BECAUSE I FELL IN LOVE WITH ITS LOOKS & HOW GOOD THE RESTORATION WAS, JUST SUPERBLY DONE TO SUCH A HIGH STANDARD, YOU WILL BE HARD PUSHED TO FIND A BETTER EXAMPLE OF SUCH A CLASSIC The last mature custodian spent months trying to find a perfect example until he found this one. Sadly he had a knee operation & having only owned a few weeks it lived in his conservatory because he was unable to kick start it after his operation & decided he probably never would be able to, so didn't even actually get a chance to ride it! This beautiful example was a USA import we believe back in approx. 2007 & was left until 2022 where the next owner got it registered (letter to HMRC on file). I also have on file the Triumph Owners Club (DVLA stamped) confirmation of the the matching frame & engine numbers showing date of manufacture 27th October 1976 by Meriden Motorcycle Co Operative taken from the Triumph, Meriden records. IT HAS SINCE UNDERGONE A COMPLETE GROUND UP RESTORATION TO A VERY VERY HIGH STANDARD THAT WOULD SURELY BE WORTHY OF ENTERING ANY HIGH END CONCOURS D'ELEGANCE OR SIMILAR. I STARTED IT (EASILY) & RODE IT TODAY (AFTER A FULL DETAIL) TO MAKE SURE ALL WAS GOOD & TOOK PHOTOS/VIDEOS WHILST IT WAS A DRY WARM (BUT BLOODY WINDY) DAY. I GENUINELY BELIEVE I AM THE FIRST PERSON TO ROAD TEST IT SINCE THE RESTO AS THERE IS NO MUCK UNDER THE MUDGUARDS OR ANYWHERE SINCE EVERY NUT & BOLT HAS BEEN REPLACED. HAS THE UPGRADE OF ELECTRONIC IGNITION AS WELL. I am afraid the rivet counters will find something that isn't quite right or incorrect on the bike & I am no expert on these old Triumphs so I cannot comment BUT just look at the photos & video to see how amazing it really is. I do not have any invoices or photographic evidence of the restoration I am sorry, the bike shows 6.400 miles only which whilst I cannot validate, in my humble opinion is probably correct. SO IF YOU ARE A FUSSY "ANAL" BUYER LOOKING FOR ONE OF THE BEST '76 "BONNIES" OUT THERE THEN YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED & SOME LUCKY PERSON IS GOING TO BE OVER THE MOON WITH IT I am semi-retired & do this as a passion/pension top up - consequently my bikes are competitively priced (I have no overheads) & I believe you will not find better presented examples as I personally detail them PROPERLY with no jet washing or harsh chemicals by using waterless wash & go system & a lot of WD40. Genuine interest will be answered politely and professionally Irrelevant opinionated questions will not be, sorry ...

Offered with great upgrade of very useful Ducati heated grips & "dark" mirrors this 1 owner example has a piffling 1,150 miles in just over 2 years with 3 Ducati stamps in the service book, the last one only being 213 miles ago! It is in the lovely livery of matt silver against gloss black with a yellow pinstripe & being the "Pro" comes with all the goodies, the best one without doubt being the very stylish "Stacked Shotgun" shorty twin exhausts (must have) & all black frame, engine casings/covers. I THINK MATCHING THE CHEAPEST '21 ON THE MARKET BUT WITH THE LOWEST MILES & EXTRAS & PROPERLY DETAILED & 1 OWNER SO PRICED TO SELL! All books, keys, service record etc. it's ready to be enjoyed & represents a lot of very new sophisticated Ducati for IMHO not a lot of money. I have had a couple of the 800's through my hands & whilst a great fun bike, the 1100 is way better, still with a low riding position, but that extra grunt so you don't have to keep changing down to overtake. Actually goes like stink if needed as I rode it home 90 miles & found out!! ABS, lean sensitive traction control, variable set ups with "city, journey & active".

More details to follow BUT "YOU WANT A PIECE OF 80's Superbike history & like TOP GUN then this is for you!" Super low mileage of 17k, last mature owner 21 years, original down to the uber rare exhausts, lots of file history & paperwork. TRULY superb untouched example that IMHO is achingly beautiful especially in the rare black & gold livery(JPS esque) ... just watch the video! Runs/ride perfectly.

Part exchange welcome - low miles though DELIVERY AVAILABLE WITH VERY PROFESSIONAL COURIER I USE AT COMPETITIVE PRICE AS WELL If you can find another one in as good order & running as well as this bike for less money - buy it! I will stake my hard earned reputation that this Zed will not disappoint you. Classic Bikes (Zed experts) did their awesome refurbishment of this absolute classic in 2018. The owner then garaged it & has done less than a 1,000 miles since, obviously only in good weather & the "as new" headers show how lightly it has been ridden. I took it out yesterday & had a fabulous 30 miles & faultless ride in the sunshine smiling from ear to ear, this really is a high quality example ready to ride & enjoy. I also put in £30 worth of ASPEN 4 which is an excellent ethanol free fuel just to make double sure she runs like a Swiss watch! The only small points to mention for transparency are that this is my 4th Zed & like all the others is missing the "snorkel" bit from the airbox, it seems to be that restorers prefer natural aspiration & the front original chromed wheel is showing some signs of flaking. Otherwise it is an amazing example, the paintwork is top top drawer, I have an invoice on file for £15,995 in 2018 plus original Colorado number plate, owners manual, Haynes manual, some photos of them doing restoration work, their letter outlining all work done & of course V5 showing now registered as an historic bike. I am semi-retired & do this as a passion/pension top up - consequently my bikes are competitively priced (I have no overheads) & I believe you will not find better presented examples as I personally detail them PROPERLY with no jet washing or harsh chemicals by using waterless wash & go system & a lot of WD40.

BEAUTIFUL VERY EARLY (1st YEAR) KAWASAKI Z1300 A1 6 CYLINDER SHAFT DRIVEN BEHEMETH! Kawasaki Motors UK official letter on file confirming A1 March '79 with Frame: KZT30A-001719 & Engine: KZT30AE001671 Excellent original condition with original exhausts & one original key fits all locks (70's immobiliser even works!) in the only colour offered for 1st year of "Starlight Blue". Great number plate too! Imported from USA in 2018 & bought by a Z1300 enthusiast who had 2 of them & lightly restored including upgrading sump with A3 (bigger) version & water pump. Then 2nd owner bought & rode around on it putting some miles on it & recently had new battery & alternator fitted, now done 40,000 miles which is nothing for one of these. It is registered as an historic vehicle now so tax & MOT exempt & I have just spent a week detailing the bike as the 2nd owner enjoyed using it so it needed it. Lovely condition with all original decals, switch gear, mirrors & superb seat (think it was re-foamed though). Frame is in superb condition, paintwork great & starts on the button. I am semi-retired & do this as a passion/pension top up - consequently my bikes are competitively priced (I have no overheads) & I believe you will not find better presented examples as I personally detail them PROPERLY with no jet washing or harsh chemicals by using waterless wash & go system & a lot of WD40.

Just been detailed & price reduced. Very genuine 998 (not R) UK example with low mileage for year (20,500 miles) but it has been ridden & serviced regularly, not just stored which many would argue is better for the engine. Termi's exhausts & quite a few bits of carbon, 4 previous owners, lots of history, all keys, books, etc. etc. HPI clear report for new owner. A really nice straight example. 8 stamps in the service book, virtually all old MOT's, belts last done March '21 @ 19,026 miles. General going over with new spark plugs & brake fluids 26th March '22 @ 20,303 miles (invoice from VDuo for £808 on file). Tyres like new. MOT until end of May & has a lovely MOT history as well. Original Finance sale agreement from 4th Dec '01 showing £10,850 new. Excellent original condition of this very collectible little pocket rocket & paintwork is superb. Highly regarded as one of the prettiest bikes ever designed & this was the last incarnation - for sure it will appreciate in value!

TIPPED EVERYWHERE YOU READ AS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE THESE SP1's NEED NO INTRODUCTION WITH A GREAT RACING PEDIGREE & THIS IS A GREAT FACTORY ORIGINAL EXAMPLE WITH 1st OWNER UP UNTIL AUG '21 THEN 2nd OWNER HAD AS A PART OF COLLECTION UNTIL NOW. APART FROM A REAR HUGGER IT IS 100% ORIGINAL WITH ONE KEY OPERATING ALL LOCKS & COMES WITH MUST HAVE PILLION SEAT COWL I have an enormous file of nearly all old MOT's, invoices INCLUDING ORIGINAL SALES INVOICE, stamped service book, owners manual, 2 keys, and a load of other gumph! The only non original paint is on the wheels that have just been done (very well indeed) but it has original screen, indicators, exhausts & keys. The only minor "flaw" to mention is a crack on the LH side front fairing (last picture) which I have simply covered temporarily & would probably be a simple smart repair for a couple of hundred pounds, BUT I have priced this bike very competitively & it takes this into account so price is firm I'm sorry. (Try finding another 2 owner, 19k example as original as this for this money & in this overall condition & in the best colour). OBVIOUSLY I HAVE CLEAR HPI REPORT FOR NEW OWNER, MOT UNTIL AUGUST, TYRES ARE NEARLY NEW & SHE STARTS ON THE BUTTON, RIDES & STOPS BEAUTIFULLY.
