Had one (like this - a beautiful blue) used it to ride to high school and first year in college). Queens, New York. Sold it to get a BSA 650 thunderbolt. The 250 was nicer. I am now riding a royal enfield classic 500 and the vibe is very similar.
I also have a 1970 Starfire, however mine has a steel tank of a completely different shape, and a scrambles style exhaust which is mid calf height while riding! Seems to be a fairly rare beast! Wondering if you have any extra information about this style of B25! Cheers!
Paul has done a great job on this and the others he restored. He knows his bikes. He has just done the bottom end of my c15. Well pleased.
Very smart Starfire. Had a mate with one back in the day. Don't remember it looking this good though!

I had one in 1969, same color. It was a nice bike. Now I have a 1968 BSA 650cc Firebird Scrambler. Always love the BSA.

This bike is stunning wish I owned it !!
It's been beautifully restored. It's a shame the whole process wasn't filmed because the end result would have justified it. Thanks for posting.
The best British 250 was the Enfield Crusader Sport.
