1955 BSA A10 Golden Flash

***Vendor Supplied Images***

Highlights 

  • Wonderful original feeling motorcycle 
  • Sublime condition throughout 
  • Excellent 650cc twin engine 

The Appeal 

This wonderful BSA is a sight to behold, a brilliant example of a classic British twin motorcycle with amazing looks, a very sporty engine for its time providing plenty of grunt, making this a very nice motorcycle to ride even today with modern road speeds and driving conditions. Clearly no expense has been spared in keeping this classic in top condition, and it is sure to turn heads and produce smiles wherever it goes. 

The History and Paperwork 

  • Imported from Greece to the UK in February 2022 
  • Ready for V5 registration in the UK 
A point of note with regards matching numbers, BSA models of this time period did not have matched engine and frame numbers, hence the difference. The miss-matched numbers in this case in no way mean that the engine, with its number CA105489 is not original to the frame. This engine number series is correct for this model.

  • The condition of this wonderful motorcycle is excellent 
  • Stunning example 
  • Very well kept 
  • Paintwork in fantastic condition 
  • Brightwork well polished and in excellent shape 
  • All rubbers and controls appear to be in great condition 
  • The saddle is very nice, with the white piping setting it off perfectly
  • A truly stunning example of the marque 
  • A real time capsule machine 
  • Glorious BSA black on chrome looks, very dapper! 

The Mechanics 

  • Mechanical condition is exceptional 
  • Forks and shocks are dry and free of oil drips or leaks 
  • Engine cases are all in excellent condition and free of any bad marks or scrapes, with numbers clearly visible 
  • Wonderful magneto ignition system for that authentic original experience 
  • Cast iron barrel and cylinder head are well coated and in very nice condition 
  • All control cables and wires appear to be in good shape with no cracks or splitting 
  • Wheels are in great shape with the chrome bright and clean with no visible damage or dings 
  • Tyres are very fresh with lots of tread and life remaining 
  • The lovely Amal 389/45 carb is in great condition 
  • Clearly this wonderful motorcycle has been well loved and no expense has been spared in its care 

Summary 

A stunning machine, classic bikes have only been going up in value in recent years, and this is a rare opportunity to own a truly fantastic example at great value! A real head turner, this lovely BSA really evokes the spirit of classic British motorcycling at its best.
