Absolutely stunning looking restored 70's twin shock trials bike with the added bonus of being made road legal for long distance trials & registered as an historic vehicle on V5.
 
Bit of background history ... Very very rare as only made for 2 years & Suzuki's 1st attempt to rival Yamaha & Honda trials success in the early 70's as Ossa, Bultaco & Montesa had dominated (interestingly actually developed & built in the UK by Graham Beamish in 1974).  This particular example is then made even more rare as Beamish got given worldwide manufacturing rights by Suzuki (unprecedented) due to great success modifying & improving the factory standard model to be a better trials version & so as such there aren't many of these "Exacta" (read original factory standard) about.
 
For my money it is such a pretty bike & in beautiful proportions (I know it's not quite as competitive as the Beamish modified ones BUT I think much more aesthetically appealing in it's original guise).  The previous owner was a classic car restorer & has many trials bikes.  He did the restoration & resprayed it in a nod to the the Heron Suzuki livery & from what I can see it was a very original complete bike to start with so he only had to remove engine, respray frame (apparently took engine apart and has done very little as it was fine) and generally tidy it up (eg respray original exhaust, new sprockets/cables/chain etc.etc.) to the lovely condition it is now.
 
It really is in superb order, starts really easily & runs a treat.  I do not know how many hours it has done I'm sorry but due to him having lots of other trials bikes & the overall condition I think he hardly used it.
 
I can only find one other "Exacta" currently for sale anywhere - that's how rare they are (and that one is £4,995) so this would be a lovely little piece of nearly 50 years old history to own & enjoy either riding or for me just looking at!
 
70's twin shocks are hugely popular right now so should be a good investment as well.
 
I am semi-retired working from home so please feel free to come & have a look and/or ask any questions.
