More about this bike
Listing details from the bike's own eBay listing: Year: 1964; Make: BSA; Model: A65; Mileage: 99,999 miles; Engine: 650 cc; Type: Standard/Naked; Color: Black. 1964 BSA A65 Lightning non running project, engine complete with carburetors sitting for 35 years in dry basement, engine turns over easily. Purchased as a package with 7 other bikes. Gauges in good shape. Frame number A50B2152 Engine number A65D1520. BSA frame and engine numbers did not match prior to 1966 according to BritBike. Clean title in my name. Aftermarket tail light. Interior of tank has been coated. Usual patina for a bike sitting so long. Appears mostly complete. If there are any specific questions I will do my best to answer asap. Shipping cost and scheduling is responsibility of winning bidder.
What the photos show
- Black BSA twin shown outdoors, with BSA tank badge, silver engine cases and a single low chrome exhaust on the right.
- Paint on the tank looks presentable, but chrome fenders are dull and rust-speckled, with a heavy rust patch under the rear fender in one frame.
- Smiths speedometer trip window reads 8873 in a close-up; the main odometer window above it is dark and not legible.
- Compression tester photos show a gauge needle around 135-145 psi, though which cylinder each reading belongs to is not labelled.
- Spoked wheels have drum brakes; tires look old, the drive chain and rear brake hardware show rust, and handlebar chrome is pitted with grips missing in top views.
- Black seat looks intact; frame and engine stampings are photographed in close-up and do not obviously read the same.
- Cannot judge cold start, running, electrics or title from still photos.
Money: $1,500 buys an unrestored A65 project as photographed; verify the frame and engine numbers against the title, confirm it turns over and what the compression readings covered, before bidding.
