This exclusive collection of motorcycles, which comes straight from the National Motorcycle Museum, is being offered for sale by Bonhams on the weekend of 5-6th December at Bicester Heritage.  The Motorcycles come from the National Motorcycle Museum Reserve Collection which contains bikes from the golden age of motorcycling. There are  bikes from illustrious makes like: Ariel, Velocette, Triumph, Norton and Royal Enfield - something for everyone!

The National Motorcycle Museum in Solihull has a magnificent collection of British motorcycles, with 1000 fully restored machines representing 170 different marques. James Hewing, the National Motorcycle Museum director, said:
"We are pleased to be offering enthusiasts and collectors the opportunity to acquire motorcycles from our Reserve Collection, with those that have been restored in our own workshop having a solid silver plaque fitted to them confirming the provenance. This year's events have given us the time to assess our reserve and duplicate inventory, and we can now look forward to reopening having freed up some desperately needed storage space."

Some of the more unusual bikes up for sale are interesting, there's the oldest surviving Hesketh Vampire from 1982. It's a luxury super tourer a brainchild of Lord Hesketh, founder of the formula one 1970s race team. There's a trio of Triumphs from the Valmoto Racing Motorcycles collection from the 2003 season, and many more - here are a few pictures for you to enjoy, even if acquiring one may be a tad out of reach!
