Description
1961 BSA C15 250cc Registration Number: RYM 631E Frame Number: C15G1149 Launched in September 1958 and running until 1967, the C15 was BSA’s 250cc single-cylinder OHV motorcycle offering, and the firm’s first four-stroke unit-construction bike. For most of that period, after the introduction of 'Learner Laws' in 1961, a 250cc was the largest capacity solo machine that a learner could ride unaccompanied when displaying L-plates in the UK. A road-going sports derivative was added in 1961, and off-road versions, for Trials and Scrambling, were also available in the range. First registered 15/ 05/ 1967, we understand this C15 has had just four previous owners from new, is matching numbers, and in very good order. The bike has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system, and now runs on a Japanese carburettor. A great looking example and we feel a good candidate for cost effective classic biking. The BSA is offered with logbook.
This bike will be sold at auction with Dore & Rees at the Bristol Classic Motorcycle Show at the Bath & West Showground, Shepton Mallet, on Sunday 25th February 2024. For more details contact the Motoring Department via the above details.
