the Triumph Tiger and Tiger Cub trials seem great value and i do like the look of them for sure. I won't be bidding though.

I wouldn’t put too much stock in the guide price . They typically under value things to drum up interest, and the buyers premium generally means there are no bargains at a Bonhams sale

Re: BONHAMS BIKE SALE CATALOGUE SOME AFORDABLE!
I never really considered the sadness behind the words "Property of a Deceased's estate".
A lot of my Dad's stuff is going to Bonhams, but I'm not sure which auction it'll be in.
Basically, his estate WAS his cars, bikes and parts and there's definitely a lot of emotional conflict between keeping it to retain his memory, and selling it because that's what we need to do to ensure that Mum is supported.
I daresay that our situation is duplicated multiple times across the classic bike world.

Fair point, and I have to say I'm interested in the Ariel - to the extent I think I'll probably put a bid in
