From 1968 the Thunderbolt benefited from a number of minor improvements including a longer kick start to make starting easier and metal tank badges to replace the earlier plastic ones, which had a tendency to crack. An Amal Concentric carburettor dealt with the problems of fuel flooding experienced with the earlier monobloc carburettor, by having the float bowl arranged centrally around (concentric to) the main jet to remove the sensitivity to fuel surge inherent in all the earlier designs.
On offer is a 1969 BSA A65 Thunderbolt, it was purchased by the current vendor to form part of his collection of motorcycles. It was purchased in its current condition for the collection.
