TWO iconic 1990s Honda RC45s are estimated to sell for towards £100,000 in the Charterhouse auction of classic and collector motorbikes in March.

George Beale, from the firm, said: “The market for bikes ancient and modern continues to be strong.
“In the upcoming auction we have a great selection of bikes from the 1920s onwards with British bikes including a Brough Superior SS100 from a client in Japan through to modern road and race bikes such as this brace of Hondas.”

The Hondas are a 1990s Honda RC45 race bike and a 1994 Honda RC45 road bike. They come from a private museum and are each estimated at £40,000-50,000.
The RC45 race bike was successfully ridden by David Jefferies, Brian Gardiner and Richard (Milky) Quale.
The RC45 road bike was last used in 2007 and has covered just under 19,000 miles.

Both bikes, along with more than 100 other motorcycles, are being sold by Charterhouse Auctioneers at Haynes International Motor Museum, Sparkford, on 30 March.
Charterhouse is accepting further entries for this specialist auction of classic, vintage and collector motorcycles.
