Post Sale Update: This piston sold for $3,000 on Iconic Motorbike Auctions. We hope it helps Cormac in a small way with his Moto3 campaign next year!
Over at Iconic Motorbikes we’ve got a very cool piece of motorcycle history up for auction – and it’s going to a good cause!
This year, one of the racers that we sponsored was Cormac Buchanan out of New Zealand. He competes in Moto3 and we chipped in to help fund his round at Circuit of the Americas. Now we’re excited to help raise some money for next season thanks to the generous donation from a fellow Kiwi of a piston that was cast by motorcycling legend Burt Munro!
I’d ask that ou check out the listing for more details but we have two letters of authenticity – one from the current owner and one from the previous owner. This was for a Velocette motor that was paired with a Norton gearbox in an AJS frame for a beach racer.
Find this piston for sale in Invercargill, New Zealand here on Iconic Motorbikes with bidding up to $2,350. We are not charging a buyer’s premium on this one and all proceeds will go directly to Cormac’s family towards his race efforts.
