Funny how many rare bikes turn up on ebay…!

£2000+ for spares / repairs

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUZUKI-RL325-BEAMISH-A-PROPER-BEAMISH-CLASSIC-VINTAGE-TWIN-SHOCK-TRIALS-/141068454925

Good brakes.(But no brake rod) NICE!

Were I in the market for such a bike I wouldn't buy this on the basis that the seller's first language clearly isn't English making the description look like it has been written by a Nigerian scammer...

It’s that rare the 250 gaskets won’t fit, even though it’s a 325!

Didn’t all the 325 beamish’s have reed valves on the barrel?

All Beamish' are rare, yes they all have a chrome frame made of 531 tubing, yes all the black engine models have an alloy bash plate and an alloy tank and yes they all had a reed valve but there are only about 1,000 of them left running - mostly tucked away in someone's shed it's true.

But do you ever see one at a trial? Doubtful, they are all cosseted away in sheds!

If you really want to see a rare one, go to the home page of my website www.beamishownersclub.com

How many silver engine models did beamish produce?

BOC,

you hit the nail on the head there...."how many do you see riden at a trial" great bike, made to be riden, F.F.S. get them out of the shed and ride them.

On the other hand he clearly states that it uses 531 tubing. I doubt a Nigerian scammer would either know that or bother putting it in the description

Hoping to do just that with mine
