2003 Ducati 998 Biposto Registration Number: KE03 ZBT Frame Number: ZDMH200AA2B021548 - Recent Desmo service - Saleroom Notice: Now offered without reserve Although Ducati's water-cooled 8-valve v-twin had been around in its original 851 and 888 incarnations for six years and indeed, had already won three World Superbike (Riders') Championships, it was the arrival of the iconic 916 in 1994 that really captured the public's imagination. Styled by Massimo Tamburini, the 916 and its subsequent evolutions established Ducati as one of the world's foremost brand names. Universally recognised as icons of automotive art, Ducati motorcycles have been exhibited in some of the world's foremost museums, including the Guggenheim in New York and the Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco. The Ducati 916 won the World Superbike Championship in its 1994 debut season and its evolutions three times after that. Enough said. For 1999, the stronger and much improved 996cc engine of the limited-edition 916 SPS was standardised on the new 996 model, while a Ducati Corse works development took Carl Fogarty to his fourth World Superbike Championship that same year. The final iteration of Tamburini's vision, the 998, arrived in 2002 and was one of the first models to feature the new Testastretta (narrow head) engine, designed by former Ferrari engineer, Angiolino Marchetti. The 998cc Testastretta had first appeared in the limited production and confusingly named 996 R, and this same engine went into the 998 S for Europe. First registered June 2003, this 998 Biposto has covered 27,448 miles from new, according to the odometer. After a period of storage due to the owner relocating abroad, the bike has recently had a Desmo service with all valves checked and adjusted, also new belts and filters, courtesy of a Ducati main dealer. In good overall condition, with frame, panel work and paintwork in nice order, the only comment from our vendor was that the engine paintwork was flaking and would benefit from refinishing. In our opinion a desirable Ducati of its era, with good investment potential.

Lot 125
Registration No: FEA 119C Frame No: TV3 551373 MOT: ExemptFront cover star scooter for Scootering Magazine August 2006Good numbers and in great conditionHuge amount of accessoriesVery presentableThe Lambretta TV175 series 3 was launched in March 1962 and it was the first scooter supplied with an internal disc brake. It was a remarkable change from the previous TV175 series 2 with new sleek slim styling. The front shock absorbers were enhanced with extra dampers as in the previous TV series 2 models. The TV series 3 also had larger silent blocks than the previous engines and it had a very good reputation as a smooth and well-balanced scooter with great handling attributes. The larger engined TV200 quickly followed the TV175 slim style in early 1963 at the specific request of the British importer Lambretta Concessionaires who wanted an even more powerful model than the TV175 to satisfy their customer base. Genuine TV200 Lambrettas were instantly recognised as the GT200 to differentiate them from the TV175 models.Sadly, from a deceased estate this TV200 is a British sold version with battery tray and is a well presented example painted in a very high quality deep paint scheme of Paul Smith’ design. The numbers are correct for a TV200 and the month of manufacture from TV200 Club records is July 1965. The scooter has been on display indoors as pride of place for many years and this has resulted in the paintwork being in very good conditions can be seen from the photographs. A well known scooter on the Birmingham mod scene in the 2000s it has been the subject of detailed decoration and appears to be in super condition. In 2006 the scooter appeared in a double page spread article and indeed on the front cover of Scootering Magazine and a copy of the magazine is provided with the lot. The speedometer appears to be original and correct. The ignition also looks original with a 133 key number. The engine turns but we did not attempt to start it as it was indoors but we are told it was running when it was put inside. Certainly the engine casing appears to have done very little work and is in great condition with the correct SHI/20 original Dellorto carburettor present. The scooter has had a quality Ducati CD1 12 volt conversion. Keys are present for the ignition and inside leg shield tool box which is an Ulma style version. The ignition key has what appears to be an original Esso Tiger fob. The tyres are quality Continental whitewalls.In addition to the attractive paintwork, where the scooter really shines is in the myriad of original and reproduction accessories that adorn this machine. Collectively these accessories would take a long time to collect and certainly have a high monetary value too. The list is substantial but includes: Triple Fiamm original air horns facing to the rear, double air horns in the tool box, a quality leopard design Pegasus seat (possibly of Rimini origin), an Ulma style horncast badge, Ulma style Florida bars, Ulma style double legshield trim, An original Ulma front rack adorned with original spotlights which is a mix of 3 original Radyots with orange lenses, 6 big original Miller spotlights and a big Stadium spotlight. There are also original Desmo badges. To the front the fork boots are possibly original Super versions without badges, and the dampers have white rubber gaiters and the bumper bar is an original Vigano correct series 3 type. There are attractive period bullet lights underslung each side in a triple cluster. To the rear there is a registration plate surround and accessory side lights. The rear rack appears to be an original Nannucci sold Cuppini rack and the spare wheel held there has an original Vigano Turbo wheel disc and spinner. The mirrors are Biemme original rectangular and Metalplast style round mirrors.The rubber parts all appear to be original and in matching green for the hand grips, brake rubber, stand and kick start rubbers and mudflap. The handlebars are finished off with original tassles.As previously mentioned this is a deceased estate sale and unfortunately the documents could not be found. However the scooter is on the DVLA system so registration should not be an issue and we have performed an HPI check which returned fine.

Lot 225
Registration No: OJT 169W Frame No: 951296 MOT: ExemptOriginally presented bike in standard trimHas had some recent recommissioning workSupplied with a V5C Registration DocumentDucati was established in 1926 by Antonnio Ducati and his sons, initially producing electrical components. After WW2 they moved into motorcycles with the Cucciola, essentially a pushbike with a clip-on engine. By the 60s they had become associated with performance bikes selling a range of sporty 250 and 350 singles. In response to the demand for larger capacity bikes, chief engineer Fabio Taglioni designed the classic V-twin bevel drive engine first used in the 1971 GT750. This proved to be an immediate success, helped considerably by Paul Smart's win in the 1972 Imola 200 race. This started a tradition of race-winning V-twins that have gone on to dominate World Superbike racing over the years. The Leo Tartarini styled 900cc Darmah SD 'Sport Desmo' was introduced in 1977 and marked a big improvement in quality and design over previous models, offering a more touring orientated option to the 900SS.The vendor bought this Darmah SD in 2020 from a friend who had stored it for some 20 years. Earlier this year he began a recommissioning project treating the bike to new tyres, chain and battery, a front fork rebuild with new seals and an overhaul of the brakes with stainless pistons, new seals and a set of stainless hoses. The fuel tank has been cleaned out and lined with new taps and fuel lines and the carbs have been ultrasonically cleaned and rebuilt with new seals. The wiring has been overhauled by Steve Hallam. The vendor is now having to sell the machine due to the loss of his storage and workshop space and reports 'it just needs a few finishing touches to get it back on the road'. Only some 1500 were produced in 1981, with very few coming to the UK, so always a rare model. Supplied with a current V5C.

The David Collier Collection1980 Ducati 864cc 900SSRegistration no. JOY 213VFrame no. DM860SS *088607*Engine no. 08815 DM860•Iconic Ducati•Low mileage•38 year enthusiast ownership•Terrific conditionIt is not hard to see the appeal of Ducati's Super Sport models following their arrival in the mid-1970s. From their booming V twin engines to their fabulously sleek styling, they were a tempting alternative to the mainstream four-cylinder Japanese superbikes of the time. David Collier became the fourth owner of this lovely 900SS in April 1986. First registered on 2.2.1980, it had spent the first six years of its life in Hillingdon, West London in the hands of 3 different owners, two of whom were probably brothers. David has never registered it in his own name because he has always ridden it on trade plates. It is accompanied by a V5 registration document, a Ducati 750SS & 900SS Desmo owner's manual, warranty book showing the first owner's details but no service entries, the handwritten receipt from 1986, and some old MOT certificates. The displayed mileage is only 10,784 which David believes to be genuine, though not warranted.In February 1987 after he had ridden it for about 700 miles, he embarked on a restoration which is covered in his service log and across multiple pages of handwritten notes and drawings (supplied). Despite being a trained mechanical engineer, his fastidious commitment to doing things correctly is illustrated by the fact that he enrolled in one of Ducati guru Tony Brancato's training courses prior to the rebuild. David's handwritten course notes are included in the sale. The 900SS still presents very well today and is showing some nice age related patina. The fork sliders have been left in bare alloy because that's how he prefers them. It is fitted with those beautiful Conti silencers, and a detached dual seat is supplied. The generator warning light glows when the engine is running, but David tells us that checks have indicated that the charging rate is correct. Following the rebuild the bike was used until the early 1990s after which it was laid up until 2012, and then used only for a year or so by which time the mileage had reached its present level. It has been recommissioned in the last few months; however, it is recommended that the tyres are replaced before further use. Throughout his ownership it has been stored in ideal heated conditions.We urge interested bidders to view the running video on our website. Such is his confidence in the machine that, subject to his health allowing it, David is happy to provide technical support and advice over the telephone to the new owner. This is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional low mileage example of Ducati's iconic bevel drive 900SS. Prospective bidders should satisfy themselves as to the motorcycle's completeness and mechanical condition prior to bidding. Sold strictly as viewed.Offered with keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Sunday 13 October starting at 11am GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
Lot 169
The Andy Chapman Collection1974 Ducati 340cc Mark IIIRegistration no. YJT 315MFrame no. DM350S*359525*Engine no. DM350 18966Designed by the legendary Fabio Taglioni, Ducati's first overhead-camshaft single appeared in 1955. Desmodromic valve operation was a feature of the racing versions and would later be applied to the sportier roadsters. The first major revision to the original design occurred in 1967 when the 'wide case' engine was introduced, which featured an aft engine mount wider than before and numerous other improvements, most notably a stronger big-end assembly. Mid-way through 1968, the Mark III was introduced in both valve-spring and Desmo versions, differences between the two being confined almost entirely to the cylinder head. Noteworthy subsequent developments included further increases in big-end size; the adoption of a Grimeca double-sided front brake; and the introduction of electronic ignition on the final Mark IIIs in 1973. Last produced in 1975, the latter came in blue/gold (valve-spring) and yellow (Desmo) colour schemes, while a Brembo front disc brake was an option on the Desmos. First registered in the UK in October 1997, this modified Mark III was acquired by the vendor in 2018 having last been taxed in 2005. Following a period of inactivity, the machine will require re-commissioning to a greater or lesser extent, or possibly more extensive restoration, before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted that the old/current V5C documents omit the 'DM350/S' prefixes from both the frame and engine number.Offered without keyFootnotes:All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.REQUEST A TRANSPORT QUOTEPlease click the link to request a transport quote from our recommended transport company, Moving Motorcycles.To request a UK or European shipping quote - Moving MotorcyclesTo request an International shipping quote - ShippioThis Lot will be auctioned on Saturday 12 October starting at 2pm GMT.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
