owner on 2nd October 1988 after looking for one for five years - 'my dream come true!'. Kept in totally original condition by the owner, even down to the paintwork, which is showing its age. Nothing has been replaced anywhere on this machine, just the usual tyres and batteries. Ridden very hard in all weather conditions where possible.

frame. The one-piece fairing is a right pain and needs two retired people to remove. The engine is a Suzuki GSXR1100W motor. The bike weighs over 90kg less than the donor bike the engine came from.First time at this Show.

200? Mondial Piega 10009 1980 On OverseasBike Details: Mondial Piega, no 39 of approximately 120 made - no one's sure of the exact number.

The engine is a Honda SP1 999cc V-twin producing 142 bhp with a wet slipper clutch.Together with Ohlins rear shock, Palioli front end and Brembo brakes give this machine a top speed of 172mph.

Benelli into World SuperBike Racing.All the bodywork, including the fuel tank, is made of carbon fibre and weighs just 189kg. The wheels are machined from a solid block of alloy.

2016 Can Am Spyder RT Ltd 133030 1980 On OverseasBike Details: This is my second Can Am Spyder RT Ltd, I owned my first from 2014 to 2017 and whilst that

model looked exactly the same, it only had a twin-cylinder 998cc engine.I've owned this one since July 2017. I've done 9k miles and it has a three-cylinder, 1330cc engine.It has a 6.9 gallon tank and does about 40mpg.This is my only mode of transport and I ride it pretty much every day. The "bikes" as owners call them are built by a company called BRP based in Canada.They are popular in the USA (about 77,000), Europe and the UK, where there's about 700.There are only four dealers in the UK, being a niche market there are limited numbers of second-hand bikes available, but they're out there.My wife and I toured Scotland last year for several weeks.On average it can take about 500 miles to get used to riding the Spyder. Cornering is interesting as the rider has to lean, much the same as a bike, into corners to keep the weight over the inside wheel.The main attraction, at the time, was the benefit of having two-wheels at the front and one at the back. I don't drive and wanted to take my wife on holidays. The Spyder was the answer. Especially with all the built in storage available.
