Part of my private Italian collection, and owned for 10 years. This bike has had only two previous owners and comes with the original bill of sale from the importer. Having been imported from new to the UK. Accompanied by a complete history file including sales brochures and a period MCN road test review. The all-important Edi Orioli key ring plaque no. 0085 is present.
Bike number 85
Professionally recommissioned with new timing belts, fuel lines, a properly sized battery, and full service. MOT’d and road-ready. Starts runs and stops as it should.
Unrestored and in stunning original condition—understood to be one of the cleanest Lucky Explorers in the UK. Its sheer presence, livery, and stance make it a real head-turner. A true collector's piece with exceptional provenance.
These bikes were revolutionary in their day—powerful, lightweight, and far closer to factory rally spec race bikes than its competitors such as BMW and Yamaha's machines. I've owned the competition—the Lucky Explorer is in a league of its own and is to this day a highly capable machine.
Currently fitted with Continental Twinduro tyres, for display purposes only with 0 miles. A spare set of Michelin Anakee III all-weather tyres included should the new owner wish to enjoy the road.
A true rally legend... Numbered examples very rarely appear in the European market, if they do then they generally have over 40, 000 km on them at over £20k.
You won’t find another in the UK for sale, in this condition, with this mileage.
Ready to ride or display.
