BSA wm20 description

It was professionally restored by the previous owner who restores old BSA bikes. I ran it a few times last year, including DDay Ohio in Conneaut Ohio. It has been in storage since. 

What you see is what you get. Runs great. Bike located in Illinois, clean Virginia title.

All original except for:
Headlight (ammeter)
Taillight 
Webbing grips
Battery box
Kneepads

I got a few manuals, extra bolts, two cans of olive drab spray paint, extra bulbs. I do have the old webbing grips. 

There is one thing to note about the bike:

Needs a new electrical wire harness. The current one is ok, but there are better reproductions out there. Also, it leaks oil, do I have to state this? (It's 73 years old, if you don't know old military vehicles leak oil, don't buy this.)

The bike will be inspected before pickup/delivery to ensure it runs as stated.  

Payment:

Tue, 04 Jun 2013

The 1967 BSA Royal Star 650 has a special place in the heart of the Piano Man, Billy Joel — it was the first motorcycle he ever had. As time went on and Joel’s career blossomed, the love for motorcycles only grew. In fact, Joel even has his own motorcycle shop.

The revived BSA brand showed its first Gold Star model

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.

The Fonz Never Really Rode a Motorcycle!

Tue, 02 Jun 2009

According to the “King of Cool” himself, “The Fonz” (Henry Winkler) never actually rode any motorcycles during the ten year Happy Days television run.  Winkler, never rode a bike in real life either, he has dyslexia, which made it difficult for him to co-ordinate the clutch, throttle and brake.  Instead, the bikes (Harley Davidson’s, Triumph’s, BSA’s were used) were mounted on a piece of wood with wheels to make it look like he was riding, even though I am not shocked, I am a little disappointed… You can watch the interview with Winkler, the famous motorcycle jump “The Fonz” made over 14 trashcans and a bonus “Jump the Shark” video after the jump.
