1968 BSA B44 Shooting Star 441cc (1968)
Big-Bore motorcycling at its elemental best. A "Thumper" - 441cc’s of long-stroke, high-torque, single-cylinder British iron from 1968. Old age and arthritis dictate that it is time for me to give her up. A "daily rider" - not showroom or museum quality, but a nice, good-looking bike you can happily ride. It turns heads and wins admiring glances wherever it goes. It -IS- a BSA, and it -IS- 48 years old. There is a nice patina of age on the mechanicals. The bike was found in a barn in Upstate NY after many years of sitting. The years left their mark, with some corrosion on the rims, front brake drum, and rear fender - light pitting on gas cap and headlamp shell - carefully review the photos. Using the correct tickle, compression-release, then kick with conviction starting drill, the bike starts easily and runs well. The Amal Concentric has extended Tickler and Idle Screw adjustments. I have gone completely through the bike since I purchased it, and there are many new parts throughout the machine, including new tyres, new speedo, new chain, new clutch-brake-speedo cables, rebuilt carb, hex-screws on engine side covers, and innumerable small parts. Buyer will receive a complete history of all work since I took possession of the bike in 2015. The paint is new and bright red - see photos. The tank and side panels are the original fiberglas. The tank has been sealed. I have used ONLY non-ethanol premium gasoline since I took possession in 2015. New Avon AM26 RoadRider tyres. New chain. Both center- and side-stands. The speedometer as-delivered was a handful of loose parts. Reassembly was futile; therefore, the actual mileage of the bike is unknown. A new reproduction speedometer has been installed. Matching engine and frame numbers. This is a USED and VINTAGE motorcycle, sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, with no other warranty, express or implied. It -IS- a BSA, and will mark its territory with a few drops of oil. Otherwise, it is reasonably "oil-tight." Study the photographs carefully and bid appropriately. Pickup and shipping are the responsibility of buyer. Paypal only. $500 non-refundable Paypal deposit within 48 hours of winning bid. Balance due within seven calendar days of winning bid; balance accepted only via Paypal or Cash-In-Hand to Seller. Motorcycle, title, and keys will be released to Buyer or buyer's agent upon Seller's receipt of complete, full purchase price.2016-06-25 05:09:04Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States9995,250.00

2025 Ducati Panigale V4S Review – First Ride
Mon, 16 Sep 2024Ducati’s flagship is the beneficiary of MotoGP input Photos by Alex Photo MotoGP has been called the Ducati Cup in recent years because the brand takes up a third of the grid – and they’re all usually at the front. Granted, I suppose the kind of criticism is warranted if you like a little variety with your racing, but the reason behind all those bikes is more nuanced than just wanting to steal the show. Ostensibly, team boss Gigi D’alligna’s job was to bring Ducati back to the top.

Wed, 13 Mar 2024Rallying the troops for a rip through Morocco Photos by Alex Photo. Not having children of my own, nor many in my close circle for that matter, I forget how seeing the unadulterated enthusiasm and joy from a child can brighten up one’s entire day. Of course, when it’s due to a group of motorcycles roaring through their small town in the desert outside Marrakech, that joy makes an incredible experience that much more memorable.
2024 Ducati Hypermotard 698 Mono Review – First Ride
Wed, 14 Feb 2024Watch out KTM – Ducati’s coming for you Photo: Alex Photo KTM, consider yourself on watch because Ducati is coming for you, and it’s coming for you with this: the 2024 Hypermotard 698 Mono. One look and you can tell the Hyper Mono is aimed squarely at the KTM 690 SMC R, the supermoto inspiration is obvious to all, and now there’s suddenly an arms race in a category that’s been one-sided for years. Sure, the street-legal supermoto scene may be a small niche, but we all know it’s a recipe for getting your license taken away in no time – all with a giant smile on your face.

Thu, 14 Dec 2023Don’t sleep on the baby Streetfighter – here are 5 important details about it When Ducati first introduced its original Streetfighter with the 1098 engine in 2009… I hated it.

2023 Ducati Scrambler Icon Review – First Ride
Tue, 18 Apr 2023Reinventing an Icon The Iberian Peninsula has had its struggles through the past some hundreds of years. From folks mastering the silk trade, to those who wanted the money made from it, any region that’s been populated for so long is bound to have a history of its people standing up against encroaching armies wanting to take what’s not theirs. The kind folks who invited me to such a place have a history of perseverance in the face of adversity, too.
