Mayo Auction & Realty is proud to present an exceptional collection of motorcycles from one of the most exciting periods in performance motorcycle history.
At the heart of this collection are the Japanese race replicas and lightweight sportbikes of the 1980s and 1990s machines created during an era when manufacturers translated lessons learned on the racetrack into motorcycles that enthusiasts could actually own.
Highlights include a rare 1986 Suzuki GSX-R750 Limited Edition, a remarkably low-mileage Honda NS400R in iconic Rothmans livery, Yamaha's sought-after TZR250 two-stroke, two first-year 1985 Suzuki GSX-R750s and a 1989 GSX-R1100 Slingshot.
The collection also includes two extraordinary examples from Bimota, the boutique Italian manufacturer famous for pairing sophisticated, hand-built chassis with proven Japanese powerplants: a low-mileage 1988 Bimota YB7 and the extremely limited-production Bimota SB5.
Ducati, Triumph, Honda, Lambretta and Suzuki are also represented, creating a collection that spans Italian exotica, British classics, Japanese-market motorcycles, two-stroke race replicas and some of the machines that helped define the modern sportbike.
For collectors who remember when these motorcycles first appeared—or a new generation discovering the analog performance machines of the 1980s and 1990s—this auction presents an uncommon opportunity to acquire motorcycles that are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
From homologation specials and two-stroke V3 performance to hand-built Italian chassis and first-generation GSX-Rs, these are motorcycles from an era when engineering, racing and unmistakable styling came together.
