BSA Goldstar description
|
. This has been my go to old bike, since I got the bike in 2005. Selling to give more attention to some project bikes I have. Strong motor, charging system 12v, always been a bit weak. Could use some new tires. .080 over on the piston, vibrates, but smooths out over 70mph (only had it up to about 80 once, still a lot left). Magneto getting a bit weak, tricky to start when fully warmed up(usually retard the spark about half way, but when hot just a little). Hasn't gotten bad enough to rebuild, did buy a condenser, but not installed. It has always had slight grind of teeth when shifting to first(when cold from neutral, first shift to second then down to first works best). Took a little off road excursion a few years ago on a bumpy decreasing radius corner, went down an embankment, thought I was okay until the footpeg dug in and tipped me over. Kept on the ride that day, but Handlebars bent back and dented the tank, front fender tip bent. Replaced the bars and took dent out on tank and spot painted black, also same on front fender tip. Leaks some oil, drip pan used in garage, and wipe down after rides. Actual mileage unknown. eng. number ZB34GS2322. California registration expires 8/12/2016. No Reserve.

The revived BSA brand showed its first Gold Star model
Fri, 04 Mar 2022At 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.
The Steve McQueen Desert Racer
Tue, 24 Mar 2009There are few motorcycle icons within pop culture that have endured as vividly as that of the late, great Steve McQueen. 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.
What’s Old Is New Again – Video
Mon, 14 Oct 2013There’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.
