On 15 October 2017, the Autumn Stafford Sale, an important event for collectors of motorcycles and spares, organised by the Bonhams auction house at the Staffordshire County Showground in Stafford, will be putting a host of vintage racing bikes up for auction; and that’s not all. Together with rare Ducati, MV Agusta, Laverda, Norton, Vincent, Honda and other old motorcycles going under the hammer, the Aprilia RSW 250 from the MotoGP championship of ten years ago will be one of the “top attractions” among the lots on sale.

The bike’s colours are those of the Fortuna Aprilia team, then the official Noale squad, with whom Jorge Lorenzo (born in Palma, Majorca, in 1987) won two championship titles: MotoGP World Champion in the 250 class in 2006 and in 2007. The prestigious and historic auction house (established in 1793) has put a value of between 110,000 and 160,000 on the motorbike.

A number of rare vintage Moto Guzzi bikes will also be going up for sale: a Moto Guzzi 498cc Superalce from 1947, with a starting value of between 3,400 and 6,800 euro; a Moto Guzzi 124cc Stornello Regolarità from 1966 (1,800-2,300 euro); a Moto Guzzi 124cc Stornello Scrambler from 1974 (1,600-2,000 euro); a Moto Guzzi 110cc Zigolo Project from 1963 (570-790 euro).
