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.

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.
