On July 18, 2026, the Iconic Motorcycle Sale returns to Kempton Park. This year’s catalog is particularly impressive, featuring 200 lots that include rare racing machines with rich histories and exotic, low-mileage motorcycles rarely seen on the open market. Below are 10 of the most significant bikes set to cross the auction block.
The Highlights of the Collection
10. 1986 Suzuki RG500 Gamma
Lot 348 presents an all-original two-stroke time capsule. With only 2,200 miles on the clock, this machine has been carefully preserved in a climate-controlled environment for over a decade. Estimate: £20,000–£25,000.
9. 2010 Honda CBR1000RR FireBlade Superstock
Lot 353 offers a rare piece of TT history. This is Michael Dunlop’s personal 2010 Hunts Motorcycles Racing bike, which he used to set the fastest lap during the TT Superstock practice session. It remains in full race-ready condition. Estimate: £15,000–£20,000.
8. 1955 Vincent Series D Black Knight
Lot 322 comes from the esteemed Alan McCoy collection. While it is mostly original and unrestored, it will require some mechanical attention to return to the road—a process many Vincent enthusiasts view as a labor of love. Estimate: £20,000–£30,000.
Modern Exotics and Racing Icons
7. 2000 Ducati 916 Carl Fogarty Replica

Legendary History on Two Wheels

1. 1991 Honda VFR750R Type RC30 (Ex-Joey Dunlop)
The crown jewel of the sale is Lot 352, an RC30 with direct links to road racing royalty. Raced by Steve Hislop and the legendary Joey Dunlop—who took it to a second-place finish at the 1993 Ulster Grand Prix—this is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of motorsport heritage. Estimate: £60,000–£80,000.
The auction will provide options for both in-person and online bidding via Iconic Auctioneers. Given the pedigree of the machines listed, it is expected to be a landmark event for motorcycle collectors worldwide.
