The Appeal
While Triumph and others went down the parallel twin route, BSA stuck to big singles in its pursuit of ultimate performance. The 500cc BSA Gold Star DBD34 is one of the most revered British motorcycles ever made. The 'Goldie' earned its place in motorcycling history through competition success and a character that few machines can rival. The vendor describes its exhaust note as unmatched, and few who have heard one in full song would disagree.
This 1960 example has benefited from a recent engine rebuild including a Pearson crankshaft and is configured in touring trim, making it well suited to road use. Practical upgrades including electric start, Thorspark ignition, and a five-speed gearbox by Nova Racing have been fitted. For those seeking a Gold Star that can be enjoyed on the road with confidence, this freshly rebuilt DBD34 warrants close attention.bsa-9.jpg521.92 KB
