  • The well-respected Huntmaster Twin
  • Extensive paperwork file
  • RF60 and other logbooks on file

Introduced for the 1954 season, the new 650cc twin-cylinder Ariel Huntmaster utilised the highly regarded BSA A10 Golden Flash engine in the newly developed Ariel pivoted fork frame and has the distinction of being the brands last new four-stroke model before the arrival of the two-stroke Leader range in the early 1960s.


This Huntmaster has come from ownership dating back to 1976, with RF60 and various older logbooks, ‘YKH’ was restored in late ‘80s by the present owner, then extensively campaigned with in excess of 60,000 subsequent miles including several European trips to Belgium, Montlhery and Paris-Bourges Run, to say nothing of numerous VMCC etc runs in the UK. With a recent engine refresh by PD Engineering the machine has had little use since, due to the vendor finding that ‘YKH’ is becoming too heavy to manage. Generally original with sensible upgrades including JG Electronic regulator, remote oil filter etc.


The vendor advises a check-over prior to use, ‘YKH’ is most certainly a riders machine and represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a respectable example of the well-respected Huntmaster Twin. An extensive paperwork file includes the owner’s handbook, spares book, numerous invoices and receipts including a magneto overhaul and notes relating to ‘engine refresh’, correspondence and MOTs dating back to 1976.
