1965 BSA Lightning Rocket

Restored 1965 BSA Lightning Rocket. The BSA Lightning Rocket was a BSA motorcycle made in Birmingham. A highly tuned version of the BSA A65R Rocket this was BSA's bid to capture the potentially lucrative USA export market in the mid-1960s. Twin Amal 389/206 carburettors and high compression pistons combined with an optional close ratio gear box to give lively acceleration.
