BSA Lightning description

Here is another British Classic motorcycle from the owner's collection. The BSA Lightning was designed as the all-round sportbike of the 1960s, planned largely for export to the US market. Development of the engine aimed to make it more reliable, quieter and less prone to oil leaks & to improve mid-range and rideability. With twin carburetors the Lightning could still reach 108 mph.
