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 over 80mph, setting a lap record at over 82mph. The model became the mainstay of road racing in the day, with even Enzo Ferrari running a race team using Rudge machines. Supplied ready to race to privateers, and comparatively inexpensive, it would win many honours in the Isle of Man TT and other international events.
This example has been with the vendor since 2001 as part of a private collection and was subject to a major restoration around 1999. Used regularly on club runs it is offered with a history file including purchase receipt, letters, invoices and various invoices relating to the 1999 restoration plus a copy spares list. The vendor advises it is a wonderful machine to ride but has had little recent use and will require the usual checks before starting and use. The Ulster is noted for its low riding position and wonderful handling and this example represents a nicely restored machine remaining in good order following restoration some twenty five years ago.
