I remember it well always wanted a moto x bike RM125 would of been nice.

Anyhow i remember the son of the owner was Steve Beamish who rode a lot of british 500 cc meetings and also did a couple of years at world motocross even scored points i recall . Was his dad Ken Beamish ? Or maybe a different familly all together ?

I remember them on the A259 seafront road, spent many an hour staring at the bikes as a youth.

I think Beamish Suzuki pre dates our Ken.

It appears they had a network of dealers.

Oh yes, I was a road-racer not a scrambler between 79-87 and used an RH250 scrambler in winter to keep competitive - RMs were the scrambler of choice [water cooled] but had a lot of fun on the RH on Telscombe Tye and Cow Slip Bank over past Telscombe Village - happy days ...

Mate of mine then took up road racing at club level in the single cylinder class - he used the RH250 engine.

Over at Beamish regularly for spares and stuff.

There is [or was] a Beamish Museum up Darlington way - more trials bikers than motocrossers - never been ...

Good thing they don't have adverts on the Villa Beamback. They'd have to label their advert times Beamback Beamish Suzuki Slots.
