Watch out for these fabulous bikes at Bonhams’ Grand Palais sale

In addition to the vast selection of cars at its Les Grandes Marques du Monde au Grand Palais 2016 sale, Bonhams will offer an impressive roster of motorcycles. We’ve picked our favourites…

Whether it’s the sexy curves of a freshly restored 1954 MV Agusta ‘Disco Volante’ or the ‘outlaw’ nature of a unique Harley chopper, every possible taste is catered for at Bonhams’ Les Grandes Marques du Monde sale, taking place at the Grand Palais in Paris on 4 February 2016. 

There’s also a unique CB500R racer built by Honda Research and Development in 1972, a 1974 Yamaha TZ750A formerly owned by World and European Endurance Champion Jean Claude Chemarin, and a custom Honda VTR1000 built last year in collaboration with Tag Heuer. The latter comes with a classic Monaco wristwatch fitted atop the fuel tank – not that you’re going to arrive late anywhere riding that. Below are our 10 two-wheeled highlights from the Grand Palais sale, or you can find the complete catalogue listed in the Classic Driver Market
