Mark Bryan, head of sales at H&H Classics, said:
“Naturally we are thrilled to be entrusted with the marketing and sale of this bike, given its extraordinary provenance.”
The bike was first bought by Hampshire man Henry Graham and then by John Harington, who kept it for 47 years.
The Honda Z50A was introduced into the UK market in 1969, where it was also known as the Mini Trail.
Many don't know but Lennon and his then wife Cynthia spent a vital period of the singer's life in Surrey before their divorce in 1968.
