BSA Lightning 650 description

This is not a "restored" bike. I've just taken fairly good care of it over the years. Except for the exhaust, seat (from a '71) and right carb, all the rest is pretty much original. Both fenders look good at first, but if you look closer, the front fender has little lines in it Kind of like if you outlined congressional districts in Texas and looked at it from low orbit. The rear one has probably thousands of little pit holes. Think poppy fields from afar. I did a bad job on the tank when I painted it last. It needs a good cleaning and a battery. If there's a winning bid, I'll deduct $40. I spun the crank in 1990. When I got it all back together, it started second kick. It usually will. Last started this spring. Good machine. Local pick-up only.

What’s Old Is New Again – Video

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s. I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.

The revived BSA brand showed its first Gold Star model

Fri, 04 Mar 2022

At last we have a brand new model of the beloved brand: after the success of Royal Enfield and Jawa, the British BSA has returned to service. The single-cylinder classic Gold Star will enter the European market - a spiritual successor to the original company's lineup, but with a completely modern filling. The novelty is equipped with a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, two overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder, a working volume of 652 cm3.
