The Stanley Woods Collection also includes photographs, helmets and other items previously owned by the champ.
In addition, the Ducati 999 F03 raced by Reuben Xaus for the factory team in the World Superbike Championship in 2003 and by Noriyuki Haga for Renegade Racing in 2004 (£70,000-80,000) is also on offer.
Two other Ducatis previously owned by four-time World Superbike Champion Carl Fogarty are expected to generate equal interest. A third motorcycle raced by Carl Fogarty is Lot 433, the ex-Honda Britain, Isle of Man Formula 1 and Senior TT-winning 1989 Honda 750cc RC30 (£50,000-70,000).

The most expensive of a good selection of Pioneer motorcycles for sale is a c.1912 Indian 988cc Big Twin estimated at £20,000-24,000, while other examples include a 1902 Griffin 2½hp which has had four owners from new (£7,000-10,000) and a 1906 NSU 5½hp Touring model (£12,000-16,000).
Of particular interest to Vincent collectors is Lot 347: the sole factory prototype 1955 Vincent 499cc Victor Series D (£40,000-50,000).
"Not only is this auction one of world's biggest sales of collectors' motorcycles it is also one of the most diverse. We are looking forward to what will be an extremely exciting day!" Ben Walker, Head of Bonhams Motorcycles Department, said in a statement for the press.
