British comedian and artist Jim Moir, better known as his alter ego Vic Reeves, is auctioning off two custom motorcycles from his private collection.
Best known for his iconic roles in Shooting Stars and The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, Jim Moir is not just a staple of British comedy — he’s also a devoted motorcycle enthusiast. Over the years, he has hosted documentaries on racing legends like Barry Sheene and Mick Grant, and even turned his hand to designing one-off custom bikes.
Now, two of those bikes are heading to auction. One is a single-cylinder Royal Enfield, styled to resemble a post-war bobber, while the other is a Kawasaki W650 with flat-track racer aesthetics, including a retro single seat unit and high-mounted twin exhausts.
Neither bike has been ridden since completion, and both have been in storage for the past seven years, so some recommissioning work will likely be needed.
The auction is being held via The Saleroom and will conclude on April 20 at 12:36 pm. The Royal Enfield is Lot 131, and the Kawasaki is Lot 132. At the time of writing, both bikes sit at their starting bids of £6,000 (€7,030).
For fans of Moir or collectors of rare custom bikes, this auction presents a unique opportunity to acquire two truly distinctive machines designed by one of Britain’s most eccentric entertainers.
