Restored 1953 BSA Sunbeam S8 for sale Museum Quality

Museum Quality Restored BSA Sunbeam

“Up for auction is a well preserved 1953 Sunbeam S8. The bike was restored years ago and ridden sparingly, and since then has been off the road, considering it’s museum quality condition. While in my posession it has always been in a dry, clean, and smoke-free environment. I did ride it a few times several years past and can confirm the machine performed as it should - as it did back in 1953 - the inline twin engine has good torque, the transmission shiflts nicely, and the differential is quiet. You will note the chrome is very nice, including the header pipes; the engine and transmission castings appear excellent. The 3226 miles indicated may be original but I have no way to confirm. I noticed a few chips in the paint and on the backside of the cast aluminum muffler a professional repair. The Avon Speedmaster tires appear near new. The rims are beautiful but a few of the spoke nipples have surface rust. Please see the pictures. Clear WA title in hand.”

…this isn’t a normal bike you’d buy for commuting to your swing shift at WalMart. Just look at this gorgeous bike, though, just for fun. It’s located in Auburn, Washington. As of this posting, its eBay auction is less than a day old, it’s received 14 bids and the price is up to $4,300 and its reserve hasn’t been met (duh).
