BSA A65 Lightning description

1969 BSA A65 Lightning

Frame no. A65LB4112
Engine no. A65L1047

On offer is this great riding flagship of the BSA range, the A65 Lightning. A marriage of a 1967 Lightning twin-carb engine mounted in a 1968 Lightning frame, the bike is in good solid condition. The engine is taut and has good power, and the bike shifts well. Brakes are excellent and suspension is very good.

Cosmetically, the bike is OK. Paint is OK on the tank with no major dents. The bike is still on its original black/yellow California license plate, so it has never been registered elsewhere. The CA registration is also current until December. The frame is straight, making this an ideal candidate for a cosmetic restoration, or just ride it as is and enjoy!

Never afraid of getting dirty, McQueen was at his happiest flogging a bike around the track with fellow racers or tinkering with the machines himself.

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.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Thu, 23 Apr 2009

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.
