1951 FN Military motorcycle. A real rarity.

THE FN WORKS IN BELGIUM AS WELL PRODUCING WEAPONRY ALSO PRODUCED MOTORCYCLES. IKE BSA AND ROYAL ENFIELD DID IN BRITAIN. ROM 1902 UNTIL 1965. THE ONE SEEN HERE AN M13 MODEL WAS SUPPLIED TO THE BELGIAN ARMY FROM 1949 TO 1951. A VERY RARE BIKE TO FIND FOR SALE ANYWHERE. THE ENGINE IS A UNIT CONSTRUCTION SIDE VALVE WITH LUCAS MAGDYNAMO AND ELECTRICS AND AN AMAL CARB. ORIGINAL FEATURES. WHAT IS REALLY UNIQUE ABOUT IT IS THE SUSPENSION AS IT IS USING RUBBER BANDS TO CONTROL MOVEMENT IN THE FRONT FORKS AS WELL AS THE REAR SWINGING ARM. I HAD THE BIKE STARTED AND WENT FOR A LITTLE SPIN AND ENGINE. LUTCH AND GEARBOX WORKED FINE. HAVING SAID THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO START AND UPON INSPECTION I DISCOVERED THAT THE SPARK IS WEAK AND SOME ATTENTION MUST BE GIVEN TO THE MAGNETO. REMAGNETISING?ALSO THE BIKE HAS BEEN STANDING FOR SOME TIME AND A FULL SERVICE IS ADVISED. THIS IS A CHANCE TO BUY A VERY RARE AND UNUSUAL BIKE AT THE RIGHT PRICE. CONSIDERABLY LESS THAN AN M20 OF WHICH UPWARDS OF 200000 WERE MADE. NOT TO SAY A LOT MORE COMFORTABLE AND DEFINITELY A WHAT IS THIS BIKE. I DONT THINK COMMENTS LIKE MY FATHER HAD ONE WILL BE FORTHCOMING. SORT OUT THE MAG AND TAKE IT TO RE ENACTMENTS OR HAVE FUN ON B ROADS.  I REQUIRE 200 GBP DEPOSIT VIA PAYPAL WITHIN 12 HOURS FROM AUCTION END BALANCE ON COLLECTION.
