The Sunbeam Longstroke was the fastest production, single cylinder, side-valve motorcycle in its day. The model stayed in production for the life of the company and the subsequent AMC take-over in late 1937. It underwent many stylistic changes; notably from flat tank to saddle tank in 1929.
This Sunbeam Longstroke was purchased by the vendor in the late 1960s. Restored by the late vendor in the 1970s, this machine has been used and enjoyed over the decades since restoration, as a machine to ride. Alas, in more recent times the machine has not been used for several years due to the vendor’s advancing years. 'RE 3389' is offered as a 'ride or restore' machine of the vintage era. It comes with a current V5C, a duplicate continuation RF60, various paperwork, and letters. Due being laid up in recent times, it will need recommissioning before any use on the road.
