johnnyboxer Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 What's good & bad about them and what goes wrong? Found a Silver engined model I'm interested in which is in Yellow and original, guess about 78, when they changed from Red/Black Heron Suzuki colours to Yellow It looks exactly the same mechanically and model wise to the Red/Black ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve shakeshaft Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Good solid old machine IMO. I bought one a few months ago in red/black. If I can be of assistance please don't hesitate to message me. There's a surprising number still around. I think 4 on EBay at the moment.

scotty Posted December 9, 2006 Report Share Posted December 9, 2006 Ive got a 79 reed valve 250! which is a great bike, things to look out for are cracks around the headstock gusseting on both early and late models? ive got a yam 250 majesty to! and the beamish is (IMHO) equal to this model, the majesty's got a shorter wheelbase so turns easier while the beamish is longer so the bike wont flip so easy in the dry! power is soft but has plenty of bottom end and smooth as hell! just what you need. Gearbox's can play up (unusual for a jap model) sometime this is down to the placement of a shim in the suzuki beamish owners manual in the wrong place! hence the gearbox trying to select two gears at once!!!
