Bonhams Stafford Spring sale has been responsible for more sales of elite motorcycles than any other single sale anywhere in the world, rivaling even the combined January Las Vegas sales. Not surprisingly, there are a number of very rare and valuable motorcycles going under the hammer on April 26.

With two previous IOM lap records (1975 and 1976) eclipsed in the first two sessions of 2014 TT ZERO practice, two more records tumbled in the third session when John McGuinness lapped at 115.597mph, surpassing Joey Dunlop's 1980 lap record of 115.2 mph (Yamaha TZ750) and 1981 lap record of 115.4 mph (Honda RSC1000). In the race, McGuinness took the Mugen to very close to the 1984 lap record.
