The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham 1861 and as the name suggests manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century, they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to be one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. Probably the most sought-after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late 50s early 60s.
This 1960 BSA DBD 34 Gold Star was purchased by the vendor in 1997 and was only used for a short time before placing on display. The BSA has been kept in good order and turned over regularly. It was fully restored by the previous owner to a very high standard. Due to being stood and not on the road for some time the usual recommissioning will be required before use. It comes complete with a V5 from 1997.
