On Wednesday, June 30, a range of motorbikes will be sold by Sherborne-based auction house, Charterhouse. George Beale, of Charterhouse, said: “The auction already has some fantastic motorcycles consigned dating from the early 20th century through to the early 21st century with bikes which are show ready, daily riders, racers or restoration projects. “With an assortment of Triumph, Norton, BSA, AJS, Honda, BMW, Kawasaki, Royal Enfield, Ariel, Suzuki, Greeves, Bultaco, Harley Davidson, New Imperial, Sunbeam and Velocette to name but a few manufacturers the auction will be over 100 motorbikes.” For the person looking for a classic ride there is a vast choice, with a 1974 Ducati 750 Sport standing out. With under 24,000 miles and purchased by the owner in 1978 it is estimated at £28,000-32,000.

TWO motorcycles which battled it out in the sales charts throughout the early 1970s are going head to head once again - this time in the auction room. A Norton and a Honda are included in the Charterhouse specialist auction of classic can vintage motorcycles in June at the Haynes International Motor Museum. “The market for classic motorcycles continues to get stronger, with interest particularly in motorcycles from the 1970s,” said George Beale. “It will be quite interesting to see if the Norton Commando 750 or the Honda CB750K1 will sell for the most money at the auction as they were quite comparable bikes back in the day.”
