MV AUGUSTA “S” AMERICA
With less than 300 miles on the

example of the legendary MV4,
directly developed from the bikes
raced to world championships by
Agostini and Duke.

HARLEY DAVIDSON
Only 726 of this high performance
730 Twin were built. Its Ricardodesigned motor spanned the Harley
racer specially built for the AMA
“C” rules in 1935. This very
original bike still sits on its
original tires.

INDIAN SCOUT “BOBBER”
Before choppers were in vogue in the
Sixties and Seventies, receiving their
benediction in “Easy Rider,”
Bobbers were the bike to have.
The concept was to “Bob” off
anything unnecessary for
form and function.

VELOCETTE THRUXTON
Velocette, a great English marque,
whose consistent T.T. wins dated
from well before World War II, were
particularly successful at Thruxton
– a long distance production bike
race. Hence this superb 500cc single
with its characteristic GP carb,
special seat and distinctive exhaust.

T120 BONNEVILLE TRIUMPH
Many superstars rode Bonnies – not
the least of whom was Steve
McQueen – and for good reason.
Light, flexible and relatively
reliable, these were one of the
prettiest bikes of the late Fifties.

MOTO-GUZZI AIRONE
Moto-Guzzi, with MV and Ducati,
is one of the great Italian marques.
Guzzi have been in racing since
well before the Second World
War and their bikes always
display certain idiosyncratic
design touch. This beautiful
Airone is exceptional.

BULTACO METRALLA
The Spanish Bultaco, Montesa
and Ossa companies, were very well
known for their trial bikes. The
Metralla shown here is an example
of a street bike with the same
formula – lightweight, single
cylinder, two-stroke motor
and good handling.
