BSA Lightning 650 description

1967 BSA Lightning 650 for sale. Third owner. I've owned the bike since September 1970. Odometer shows 1030 miles, but it didn't work for a few years and definitely has less than 7000 miles.

Bike runs well and has never been wrecked. Tank has a small, dime sized dent on the left side. BSA badges are cracked on both sides. Chrome is in decent shape for it's age, but has some pitting and flaking. It was repainted in the early 1970's. Tires are Continentals, in good shape, although rear tire has more wear than the front. Included are the original type Dunlop tires with innertubes. All numbers match on frame and engine and it has a clean title.

Asking $3650 but will listen to reasonable offers. Email me at seohiostuff@hotmail.com if you have any questions. If you want to see more photos, there are an additional 10 on it's listing at britcycle.com

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.

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.
