BSA Lightning description

Very nice shape 1972 BSA A65L Lightning. 650cc's. Runs and rides. No title, a bill of sale will be provided. If a title is needed I can get one in my name for an additional fee


I bought from the original owners son. Was in California its entire life until recently. Last tagged in 1983. Carbs were recently cleaned, newer battery installed, valves adjusted and oil and fluid change.

Perfect candidate for restoration. Original with exception of paint and mirror and complete with exception of rear upper grab bar and tank badges. Small dent in the gas tank and the gas tank was perviously lined. Still has the center stand and original lucas headlight.

Very cool bike that I've enjoyed having around but I have too many bikes and you can't keep them all. Would be a great restore project for someone or ride and enjoy as is. 

If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Buyer responsible for arranging shipping.

A man who was at one time the highest paid actor in Hollywood, he avoided the limelight in favor of immersing himself within his passion for motorcycles. 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.
