May 11, 200620 yr I have been offered another bike which if I bought it would mean the Beamish has to go first. What sort of price do you think I can get for it? Here's the spec- 1978 Beamish Suzuki 250. Rare Red/Black model. New Paintwork/Lacquer to Fuel Tank New Chain/Sprockets New Levers New Decals all round New Michelin Tyres Fully serviced with new plug, lead, plug cap and oils Repaired kick start lever New front fork gaiters (still to fit) Previous owner did- New seat cover New Wheel Bearings New WES alloy silencer All stainless fasteners Polished Forks, Yokes etc New head bearings New Swing arm bushes New White Stihl Mudguards New Betor rear shocks To go with the bike- One full engine gasket set One top end gasket set One new spark plug (NGK) One kick start shaft oil seal (OEM) Several Sets of rear sprocket tab washers (OEM) There are no known defects with the bike, overall I'd say it is a 9/10 bike. The bike has not been ridden after this work and is spotless. Your opinions appreciated. Thanks. Steve. Edited May 13, 200620 yr by Steve Shakeshaft
May 11, 200620 yr Author Somebody else should ride it. I need the money for another bike to ride. If it doesn't sell then I WILL be riding it! Thanks.
May 13, 200620 yr despite it been a very clean looking bike in what looks like the best finish on a beamish i've seen i've never heard of on going for much more than 2/3rds of what you'd like if you dont ask though..
May 13, 200620 yr Author Correct. And unless you've got a stash of money it's a shame to get it dirty now it is like it is. I'll very likely buy a 79/80 Yellow Beamish to ride. I've not seen another 78 Red/Black one for sale in over 6 months of looking every day. I've seen dozens of Yellow ones. If the right person wants it, they're welcome.
May 20, 200620 yr Author Bike has now sold. Onto my next project now and perhaps a Yellow Beamish if I see one I like. Cheers.
