I love BSAs. My grandfather fell in love with the sound and so did I.

Sometimes, it's not about going fast or making the most noise...but just looking cool 😎

Drop dead beautiful BSA. Brings back memories too; my dad had one.

An overdose of fine art ken the motorcycle artist

[@gavinmurrell3415]

A Jewell of a motorcycle right there. It would be a shame to change it, after someone has done a spot-on resto. No need to change any of it. Great mirrors, handrail all make for a reassuring ride especially for a passenger (Fit for a queen) 😁 Love from England..xx

Super clean half liter bike!!

[@vonryansexpress]

That really is a beautiful example - the best year (1970) with all of the detail improvements introduced that year and in perfect condition . . . Lovely 😍
(I think the mufflers are from a Triumph though, BSA mufflers had a different shape) . . .

Beautiful motorcycle with a real rumble. Thank Ken cheers

[@KaplanCycles]

Glad you enjoyed it😊

One gorgeous vintage bike. Gorgeous color, graphics, and badges. I love the way the exhaust note sounds. My Dad loved BSA's, but he loved 2 stroke Kawasaki Triples alot more! Kawi Triples would be my first choice too! Enjoy the rest of your work week, brother, and please be safe. Congrats, on your recent very large volume of sales.

Hi Jordan.

[@aspire2inspire732]

Super-Primo!

[@Vanrides.]

Last year of production, not a good seller in the UK. Everyone went for the 650 though arguably the 500 was a better and smoother engine. Nice looking bike.

excellent

[@daveco1270]

Great bike. The single carb Brtisih twins are some of my favorite. I've noticed most people (myself included) like to put a block under their kickstand so the lean angle on the bike isn't as extreme. Why don't motorcycle manufacturers realize that and put less lean on kickstands? Too much lean bugs me.
Ken's new favorite description "what a freakin diamond." It used to be "what a dime piece." : )

[@gpo746]

For the most part it was because BSA assumed the side (kick) stand was to be leaned against a kerb, which was higher than the road , we drive on the left and the sidestand is on the left . It would be easier to mount the bike form the pavement / kerb than go round the bike onto the road . BSA DID think it through , we just don't tend to lean bikes on kerbs anymore. It all came about with the bicycle when they had a fixed wheel (no gears) and the rider would put the left pedal down to rest it against the kerb and the bike would stay upright with a slight lean .

She's a dime!

[@jammaster7614]
