Description
The motorcycle was purchased in 1972 by a motorcycle enthusiast in Blekinge, at which point it required restoration. The renovation was carried out carefully over several years, resulting in the fine condition seen today.
The current owner acquired the bike in 1992 and has since maintained it well, using it sparingly during the summer months.

Facts about the model
The motorcycle was manufactured by the British company Ariel Motorcycles in Birmingham. The brand had existed since the early 1900s and was known for its technical innovation and robust motorcycles. In 1951, Ariel was acquired by the BSA Group, which influenced the development of later models.
In 1954, the Ariel FH 650 was introduced, later known as the Huntmaster. It was developed to compete with other powerful British twin-cylinder motorcycles, particularly those from Triumph.
Key specifications included:
A parallel-twin engine of approximately 650 cc
Based on the BSA A10 engine
Output of around 35 hp
Four-speed manual gearbox
The Ariel 650 HF was a relatively heavy and stable motorcycle, known for:
Good reliability
High top speed (up to around 160 km/h)
A stable frame with telescopic front forks and dual rear shock absorbers
Suitability for sidecar use
As a result, it became popular among touring riders and sidecar enthusiasts.
The Huntmaster was one of Ariel’s last large four-stroke models. In the late 1950s, the company shifted focus toward smaller two-stroke motorcycles such as the Leader and Arrow, though these were less successful. Production of Ariel’s classic motorcycles ceased entirely in the 1960s, marking the end of an era in British motorcycling history.
