1936 SUNBEAM MOTORCYCLE MODEL 9 500cc

This is a rare mostly original 1936 Sunbeam Model 9 500cc sport touring pre war motorcycle, it was owned for many years by motorcycle author Harry V Sucher - Harry wrote The Iron Redskin, Milwaukee Marvel, History of American Motorcycling and more, shown below is the bill of sale from Harry Sucher to his friend Frank in 2001. I brought it from Frank who owned it for 15 years, both of them rode this machine quite a lot on club runs and other events, I was told Harry loved this bike and wrote about it in his History of American Motorcycling book but I do not have the book so can not confirm this, Harry owned this bike from the late 1970's to 2001.
