Billy Joel will put more than 70 motorcycles from his personal collection up for auction in New York City in November. Gooding Christie’s will offer the Billy Joel Motorcycle Collection as part of the Rétromobile New York Auctions on November 20 and 21. All motorcycles in Joel’s collection will be offered without reserve.
The collection includes motorcycles from Ducati, BMW, Moto Guzzi, Harley-Davidson, Yamaha, Triumph, Honda and Kawasaki. Joel’s specially painted 1978 Triumph T140 Bonneville was given to him by Madison Square Garden to mark his 150th sold-out show at the venue. The motorcycle comes with a matching helmet listing every show Joel performed at Madison Square Garden and the year of each show.
The collection also includes a 1982 Ducati 900 Mike Hailwood Replica. A restored 1975 Ducati 750 Sport will also be offered for sale in November. Joel’s recording career has sold more than 150 million records. He has won six Grammy Awards from more than 23 nominations. Proceeds from the motorcycle sale are intended to support The Joel Foundation.
