WORLD CLASS LINE-UP CONTINUES TO GROW FOR BONHAMS’ UPCOMING LAS VEGAS MOTORCYCLE SALE The foremost 1915 Harley-Davidson Twin extant added to impressive ensemble. 5 January 2012 – San Francisco Bonhams, the firm that holds the world record for the highest amount paid for a motorcycle offered through an auction house, is pleased to announce that it has sold the 1949 Triumph Trophy TR5 Scrambler Custom ridden by The Fonz in the hit television series Happy Days for a sum in excess of $75,000. This news comes amidst recent announcements of the extraordinary consignments Bonhams is lining up for its second annual Las Vegas Motorcycle Sale on January 12th. In addition to the extremely historic collection of nearly 50 motorcycles from the esteemed American family du Pont and a pair of rare Benelli racers including an ex-works GP bike, Bonhams has assembled over 100 motorcycles of diverse makes and models from all eras of motoring. Even more than the recently consigned 1937 Brough Superior SS100, one motorcycle in particular that is bringing intense interest from collectors around the world is the ex-Gordy Clark 1915 Harley-Davidson 11-F Twin, widely considered the best original condition motorcycle of this model in the world. Carrying an estimate of $200,000-250,000, the incredible state of this already coveted year/make/model makes this a true once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Also consigned are bikes with a popular culture significance, such as the 2005 MV Agusta F4 previously owned by Peter Fonda or the 1965 Rickman Triumph Metisse painted by Von Dutch. Whether it be a 1925 Coventry-Eagle Flying-8, Eddie Lawson’s brand new 1975 Norton Commando, Jim Pomeroy’s 1979 Bultaco Pursang, or three different Orange County Choppers auctioned for charity, the breadth and quality of the Las Vegas consignments are definitely in keeping with Bonhams’ standards. The must-attend second annual Bonhams Las Vegas Motorcycle Sale takes place on Thursday, January 12th, inside the Auto Collections museum at the Imperial Palace Hotel & Casino on The Strip.
