25/3 with 1951 600cc motor

[cwf]

Here's something on ebay.co.uk - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/155222508274

Does a 600 motor in a 250 frame seem like a good idea?

There's also a 69S up for auction in a couple of weeks, if anyone is looking.

Yikes! Can't be a R25/3 if it was first registered in 1951. The /3 basically came out maybe late 1952?

That's a 1951-52 twin with a nice tire pump and later tail lamp and air cleaner...but even more interesting is the passenger pillion seat this fellow has up for auction? It's maybe a very early Denfeld copy of a pre war type Dunlop Drilastic cover? Anyone know for sure? It has a rigid passenger handle that could really injure the passenger in an accident!

I wonder if it is a scam auction? That is NOT a R25

There is NO WAY you could put a twin engine in a single's frame without cutting and splicing to make room.

Whoever is selling this does not know what he is talking about.

He's removed any mention of 250s.

Anyway, so there's no point in putting a twin motor in a single frame, but are the forks the same? The front brake is only single leading shoe on a single, is that right?

Is it really r25? Ridiculous.

Apparently not.
