1965 BSA Lightning Cafe Racer

  • 1965 BSA Lightning Cafe Racer

For your consideration is this nut and bolt full cosmetically AND mechanically restored 1965 BSA Lightning A65 650CC Cafe Racer. This motorcycle was restored by me in 2017, essentially presents and rides as new, and has only been ridden approximately 28 miles since restoration. It has a mild Cafe Racer look with the larger Spitfire tank (steel) and Cafe Racer seat/tail with BSA logo. The motor is from 1965 and the frame is from 1966. I have the motor matching Wisconsin title in my name. I am a BSA nut and have been restoring motorcycles as a winter hobby during my retirement for 20 years! The level of quality of paintwork, details, originality, and mechanical condition should meet the needs of the most detailed collector.

This Lightning is a twin carb 650CC parallel twin. The carbs have been upgraded to Amal Concentrics. It has a two into one exhaust, velocity stacks, high edge alloy rims. The intention of this build was to have a beautiful, exciting, and fun rider with a Cafe Racer look.

I have limited storage space, too many motorcycles, and want to continue the hobby of restoring thus I am selling a few bikes from my collection. I am selling my 1964 BSA Cyclone, 1967 BSA Royal Star, and 1965 BSA Lightning Cafe, all 10/10 fully cosmetic and restored bikes. Provided is extensive video footage, photos, and details so you can see just how nice these motorcycles are.

Thank you for considering
