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.

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.
