Well this one may well have been refinished in the recent past, but in this case it's enhanced its appeal WOW:

The one query I have is the expected price :think1
If, it does reach that upper estimate, its new owner will get the bargain on the year...watch this space ;-*
Cheers the can :-)

That is beautiful.
I wish I had the money to spend on something like that. In the long term, it would have to be an investment. Something for my grandchildren!
-
Sure seems like a low range expectation. A few interested parties will see that range left behind.
It appears to be factory fresh. Is that 7 miles on the ODO?
Interesting offset pillion seat. Lets the pillion see the road ahead, I guess.

It's VERY low Bill...regardless of whether it's a matching numbered bike...the air filters look like Vokes, or a very good copy thereof :thumbsup...rare and hard to come by...This bike has been restored and the ODO reset to zip.
... it's a very desirable 'B' Rapide with the Brampton forks and what looks like a correct rear frame member...will be watching this auction with interest as there is a Norvin (also under estimated in my view), and a Comet in the same auction.
Last year Black Shadows where around the $100k mark and I recently read that a shad in LA stunned the punters when it went for $127k :eek
Anyway, I reckon it'll pull closer to $60k ;-*.
-
It would be a pity if it went for too much, as more likely to be parked and never ridden.
-
Oh touche' :fp...
Then again, art can be enjoyed in many ways, many ways :nahnah...now off you flock and go look for some horrible ale that need appraising :Stirpot

Mornin' All...
While monitoring this upcoming auction decided to look at the other upcoming treasures, found this little gem...the original ST :think1

...no reserve either :wink1
Just a thought.
Cheers the can :-)

A mini guzzi. perhaps Honda copied Lilac when they made the CX500?
-
Mornin' John et al...
From what I remember Ito, the bloke who built it was apprenticed to Honda, heck even his tank logo is almost the same. I am not sure to whether, after his company folded he returned to Honda. Dunno.
But as U say, mimiced Guzzi and I think the 1100 is a CX with 2 extra cylinders with a large serving of ABS o:)
Cheers :-)

The CX500's motor is too similar to be accidental.
Which came first?

A Very Good question Bill :think1...I think Lilac(1959) , GuzziV7 (1966), Cx and ST...but happy to be corrected :thumb

Anyway, I reckon it'll pull closer to $60k .
Well...seems l was close...the Rapide made $58,500 :wink1
I still think the new owner still got a great deal nevertheless, particularly if the $37,000 realised for it's smaller varient Comet is an indicator.
The 'first ST' made $7,000 a grand below it's low estimate :fp I am aware that these wee bikes don't command the greatest of praise from many, but there aren't many of em about and this one looked a cracker.
Oh well, there ya's have it...tis good to know, "there's money to be made in some of them there motorsicles!"
Well, best be on me way, as I'm off to pick up a couple classics that I rather think are going to help fund me retirement ;-*
OhRoo the can :-)
-
For $7000 it would have been a good way to start into classic bikes with something unusual.
My old Suzuki must be worth a fortune :think1

I owned CX 500s and 650s before I bought MY st1100. I figured if a honda v twin is good (and they were) then a honda v 4 must be twice as good. Twas a good decision.....
