BSA Thunderbolt description
1966 BSA 650 Thunderbolt, titled 1967. (They were often titled in the year they were sold) I found this as a
project that had been shelved and was stored in the back of a barn, partly in
boxes. The engine was rebuilt and completely assembled when I found the bike, the frame still had the
original paint, however the tins had all been sandblasted and were dusted in a
light layer of surface rust when I found them. The chrome on the gas tank could
not be saved so it got this great two tone paint job instead. This is an original numbers matching bike with the larger
gas tank and 4-spring clutch that were common to that year, both original equipment. I replaced the
pea shooter exhaust with some louder silencers but no modifications to the frame
or exhaust pipes were made for this. The new silencers mounted up to the factory tabs so the
original silencers can be re-installed later with no trouble, the new pipes
sound very nice however. I will include the original silencers in the sale. This bike is more a preservation than a restoration, but has been well preserved
with only the paint being new. Other than that it is all original equipment and quite an
attention getter! It usually starts on the second kick and runs and drives excellent! There are some small areas of light corrosion such as the control levers
and headlight basket but the rest of the bike is virtually corrosion free, which
is unusual for a bike this age. Please look at all of the photos and ask questions BEFORE making offer.
The bike is being sold where is/as is. Buyer assumes responsibility
for transport and related costs. I can keep the bike here for up to 30 days to
allow buyer to arrange for transport. After 30 days modest storage fees will apply.
Buyer, upon winning auction must make $1,000. none refundable
deposit via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close, with the balance being
wired to my account or paid in cash in person upon pickup. Anyone able to visit
and see the bike in person is welcome. Please message me for directions.
Thanks for looking!

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.
