Adorned with the racing No77, this one-of-a-kind bike is accompanied by a signed Schuberth helmet pair of motorcycle gloves – both believed to have belonged to Schumacher himself.
Now it is being offered to the public for the first time.
Built on a standard 2010 Honda CBR chassis, the bike was upgraded with high-end racing components by HRP, who retained ownership after Schumacher’s use.
Modifications include a custom ECU managing traction control, wheelie control, and spin control.
It also features an upgraded airbox, oil cooler, quick shifter, Akrapovic titanium exhaust, race-spec handlebars, and more.
The odometer shows just 3,752 km at the time of cataloguing.
Multiple photographs document Schumacher riding the motorcycle during test sessions, making this a particularly significant item for fans of both motorsport and motorcycling.
A full spec sheet is available, confirming HRP’s ownership and Schumacher’s use of the bike.
As the motor hasn’t been run in some time, a full service and inspection have been recommended before any future track use.
A spokesperson for the auction house said: “This is a rare and exciting opportunity to acquire a piece of racing history – a superbike tailored to one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time.
“With its signed gear and confirmed provenance, this machine is sure to attract global interest.”
The bike is expected to fetch between £20,300 and £30,000 when it goes under the hammer in Munich, Germany.
