BSA A65 Lightning for sale. Built in 1971 , first registered 1st Jan 1973. Matching original frame and engine numbers. Dating and build certificate from the BSA owners club . In superb running order and looks a million dollars.
It has been completely rebuilt over last winter with more than £4000 spent on new parts. A full written and photographic log has been kept of the rebuild . New pistons & rings, Boyer electronic ignition, new Amal 930 carbs, new wheels & tyres, nearly all new chrome, new stanchions and much much more. I have restored many bikes and cars over the years – this is my 2nd A65 rebuild and I now teach classic vehicle apprentices. It is for sale now as I have reached an age where my knees are demanding an electric boot. (It has 10:1 high compression pistons) so I now have a K75 and AJS Tempest.
It has passed it’s MoT on the 3rd April 2025, expires 16th April 2026 although strictly speaking it is exempt. I like to have my classics tested by a third party for peace of mind. It is registered historic and I have the V5c in my name. It is taxed and ready to go. NO UNACCOMPANIED TEST RIDES.
I am open to sensible offers – however do not confuse this with some tarted up relics you see for sale. I have spent a lot of enjoyable workshop time and done this properly. Only a few of these around in this condition, It rides beautifully, taut precise handling It's a joy to sweep through twisty roads - especially compared to my ponderous K75 !
