Property of a deceased's estate 1976 Beamish Suzuki RL-250 Trials Motorcycle Registration no. not registered Frame no. 100539 Engine no. 100539 (see text) The Beamish Suzuki was produced in the 1970s by ex-BSA works rider, Graham Beamish, at that time UK agent for Suzuki moto-cross machines. Beamish began by modifying a batch of RL-250 trials models at the beginning of the 1974 season, the success of which prompted him to purchase all of the remaining unsold stock of the unpopular RL-250 'Exacta'. Although Beamish's modifications had improved the bike, what it really needed was a completely new frame, production of which was entrusted to trials rider and frame builder, Mick Whitlock, who designed one made of lightweight Reynolds 531 tubing, bronze-welded and chromed: the 'Whitehawk'. A staggering 1,200 of this first Beamish Suzuki model were sold. A revised Mk2 version, which featured a lighter/stronger frame and a higher proportion of British-made components, was introduced for 1976. Purchased recently by the late owner, this Beamish Suzuki will require recommissioning before further use and thus is sold strictly as viewed. It should be noted that the engine number has had the prefix ground off (the last part is a factory stamp). Offered without documents. Offered without key Footnotes: All lots are sold 'as is/where is' and Bidders must satisfy themselves as to the provenance, condition, age, completeness and originality prior to bidding.
