The Appeal
The emergence of high tech Japanese motorcycles from Honda is largely to thank for the introduction of the BSA B40. The B40 used an increased bore size to up engine capacity and compete with its new Japanese rivals.
Combining a wonderful selection of parts from some of the finest motorcycles from the BSA lineup of the era, BRU 538A has been moulded into a wonderful and incredibly stylish 350 Enduro Star replica. Fully UK registered since its arrival into the UK all of the key legwork with this build has been completed to an incredibly high standard leaving just small cosmetic tasks to be completed by a motivated new owner to finish up what is undeniably a very interesting and stylish classic BSA.iQKnpKxRicqJTKcYkIEorB5t8kr9g0QRjM8kQoGg.jpg849.96 KB
The History and Paperwork
Originally a US bike, first registered in 1963 and dispatched to Oakland California
The bike sat dormant and unused for many years in the US before being imported into the UK in late 2021
Rebuilt by the current owner as a 350 Enduro Star Replica
BSAOC (BSA Owners Club) certificates dating the bike and detailing its known history according to factory records
Fully UK registered with BSAOC authentication
DVLA confirmation of registration form
Tax exempt due to the bike’s age and historic status
V5 registration document present with the bike
Injury means the vendor is now looking to move the bike on to someone who will complete the build
A rebuilt SS90 engine, C15C framing, it's fair to say that the hard work on this bike has already been done, and to an exceptionally great standard. The cosmetic tasks that remain have already been prepped, and thus for the right individual this presents as a great simple project that will result in a truly special and rare classic British motorcycle that sings of a golden era of off road enduro motorbiking.
