The Rudge Ulster was made famous by Graham Walker's victory in the 1928 Ulster Grand Prix thus giving the bike its name. It was one of the first occasions a road race had been won at an average speed of more than 80mph, setting a lap record of over 82mph. The bike became the mainstay of road racing in the day, with even Enzo Ferrari running a race team in Italy using Rudge machines. It was supplied ready to race to privateers and was comparatively inexpensive, so the Ulster went on to win many honours in the Isle of Man TT and other international events.

This 1937 Rudge Ulster was acquired by its present owner in 2007 as a restored machine, 'SSJ' has been in regular use since. It has been fastidiously cared for and maintained by its enthusiastic owner, with a paperwork file that includes the 2007 purchase receipt along with other receipts, including those for an engine overhaul by Chris Odlin, old MOTs, tax discs etc. Renowned as one of the 1930s ultimate sporting motorcycles, the Ulster needs little in the way of an introduction and 'SSJ' is a fine example of the marque, still in good order throughout and until recently regularly exercised, even the lighting is fully operational. An excellent opportunity to acquire a fine example of the 1930s' most fabled sporting motorcycles and following the ‘usual checks’ will be ready for the road once more.
