Iconic Machines to go Under The Hammer At The Devitt MCN Ally Pally Show

The Devitt MCN Ally Pally Show and premier auction house Bonhams are giving motorcycle fans a rare treat next month when one of the most stunning collections of machines is set to go under the hammer. Belonging to a single collector, the 74 machines include some rare treasures including a 1969 Honda CB750, with gravity cast crankcases – one of a few of these machines still in circulation.

Also up for sale are two 1972 Kawasaki Z1’s, a 1977 Yamaha RD400, a 1966 US spec Triumph T120R, a 1975 Laverda SFC, a 1976 Ducati 900SS (with only 2,485 miles on the clock) and no less than six MV Agusta’s!

The auction joins an action-packed weekend of entertainment, based around the world’s only indoor Supersprint. The specially constructed course will see former World Superbike Champion and I’m A Celebrity winner Carl Fogarty, alongside Isle of Man TT legend John McGuinness, Chris Walker, James Whitham and multiple World Trials Champion Dougie Lampkin go head-to-head down the strip. In between races some incredible machines, including Loris Capirossi’s 2003 MotoGP Ducati machine and a 1970 Yamaha 4cyl 250cc 4 stroke prototype. The current list of machines taking to the strip is;
