1961 BSA A7 Shooting Star, 499cc. Registration number 901 DKH. Frame number GAY16653. Engine number CA7SS 5634.
In 1955 BSA adopted the "Shooting Star" name for the A7 and used an Amal Monobloc. When tested the Shooting Star proved to be capable of 93 mph and could cover the standing quarter mile in 16 seconds thanks to a claimed power output of 32 bhp. The Shooting Star ran on with only detail changes until 1962, the most significant occurring in 1958 when the brakes were revised with cast iron drums being adopted and the front increasing in diameter to 8 inches.
DKH is a local East Yorkshire bike and is an unrestored and low owner machine.
Sold with the V5C and several BSA books as well as a few spares.
