This is my bike. Its a 1948 Sunbeam S7 deluxe. Still has its first registration disc from 49 in the front fork. Its been featured in bike mags prior me owning it and was nicknamed "The ToonTown Twin"
I had 3 of these at one stage. Sorta got carried away as the one above was one of 412 on the world registry and there kind of an odd bike to come across. Ive learnt when Im riding it, to pull up and get off as quickly as possible and walk away from it rapidly as everyone over here is a bike nut and none of them have ever seen one.....ya soon feel like a broken record after doing a poker run or doing several stops
Heres a link to the 3rd one I sold a long time ago
https://www.facebook.com/shermatt.america/media_set?set=a.399588870067006.109232.100000476899783&type=1I started out looking for an old 40's Indian with the big bucket style fenders (mud guards) and ended up with this. Its a 500cc inline twin shaft driven. In the day was known and advertised as the gentlemens motorcycle and most of them were sent to India as police bikes. Ive been told that there are only 12 here in the US. The other 2 I had, I sold to a collector here in Clearwater FL.
I often search for old school bikes and only had an inquiry a few weeks ago about chasing down some old Harleys and triumphs from a fellow forum member. The are definitely a lot cheaper here and a lot cheaper to transport and ship
We only just bought a 2004 Harley fatboy the other day for a forum member and its here waiting for him when he comes over. Were heading off to biketoberfest in Daytona and then we'll organise shipping when he leaves....MAYBE...Its an awesome bike....Sheri will have a hard time parting with it. That one will need a compliance on it but if you stick under 89, you'll be ok
I come across them all the time, Matchless, BMW R26, BSA, Triumphs, Nortons, harleys...all that but I never really post them as its not something we specialize in. I used to have a contact that I would send bike inquiries to but his business ethics went out the door so we no longer refer him as it would reflect on us.
Believe it not, Shermatt International has only ever done one bike and only today I woke up to this email
Hi Matt & Sheri, howdy from Sydney.
Can you believe it has been 12 months since we first emailed about my bike!
Here’s a pic and a little thank you for your website...
..............................................................................................
I followed Shermatt for a year or two online as I was chasing a car from the US. In my electronic expedition, I got the bug to get another bike and so I emailed about a Harley Night Train, even though they specialise in Mustangs. Within no time at all, we got down to the best bike on paper and Matt & Sheri started the process. Because I had followed various forums for ages, I knew their reputation for honesty, character and delivering what they state was second to none. When you’re dealing with money, vehicles, and people overseas, you need to have trust in them. Well, they met with the vendor, negotiated hard on the price, sent me video of the actual transaction and exchange, plus about 50 photos and video. Any time I called, they picked up or called back. If you’re looking for Service in every sense of the word, you can’t go past Shermatt.
As of late, and the amount of requests we have been getting on bikes, we have been considering doing the older...more classic rides
I just did a quick search locally and found a bucket load of all of the above all around the $5k mark
Good luck with the hunt...let us know what ya end up with as I LOVE these old bikes. (Im sure Dale would appreciate it as well)
