1981 – Yamaha XT 400cc Frame no. Engine no. No registration certificate No roadworthiness test THE PINNACLE COLLECTION Built up over many years by one of France’s most discerning motorbike collectors, The Pinnacle Collection is the result of an uncompromising quest guided by quality, authenticity and excellence. From the outset, the philosophy behind its creation was simple: to seek out the most interesting and desirable examples of each model and, where restoration was required, to make no concessions regarding the quality of the work. Each motorbike was thus selected with the utmost care, based on its intrinsic qualities, its history and its significance in the evolution of motorbike manufacturing. Particular attention was paid to the authenticity and authenticity of each machine, right down to the components, finishes and the smallest details. The restoration work was carried out with no real regard for time or cost. The aim was not simply to create beautiful motorbikes, but to produce machines capable of ranking amongst the finest known examples of their model. Focusing primarily on the major Japanese brands, supplemented by a carefully curated selection of British motorcycles, the collection brings together machines from a period of exceptional technical and creative richness. Iconic sports models, machines that left their mark on their era or defined a generation: all were chosen to the same exacting standards and restored with the same commitment to authenticity. The result is a collection now renowned amongst connoisseurs as one of the finest motorcycle collections in France. A reputation that extends far beyond the collection itself: some of its motorcycles are regularly invited to take part in motor shows and exhibitions across Europe, where their remarkable presentation makes them natural choices. More recently, several motorcycles from the collection were selected for the major exhibition dedicated to Steve McQueen at Rétromobile 2026 in Paris, celebrating the actor’s passion for motorcycles, cars and motor racing. Now offered for sale, these 32 motorbikes present a rare opportunity to acquire a collection whose coherence and quality are by no means a matter of chance. The Pinnacle Collection is, above all, the expression of a conviction: the finest motorbikes deserve the highest standard of craftsmanship.
