Description

1969 BSA ROCKET 3Rare 750cc Triple, ll Original
This is a very original example of the early Rocket 3. It was recently pulled from long term storage in the collection of a fanatic motorcycle enthusiast. It was drained of all fluids prior to storage. The bike has not been started since. The gas tank is immaculate, ith NO rust-see photo. It has good compression and has spark. Carbs will need to be serviced prior to running.
This bike was one of the first superbikes in an era when competition among themanufacturers was extremely fierce. This was the British alternative to the Honda 750 Four released almostsimultaneously. Capable of 115 MPH, he Rocket 3 was a fast tourer, lus, he signature "ray gun" tail pipes are one of the coolest thingseverin all ofmotorcycledom!
The paint and bodywork on this bike is all original, s is the seat upholstery. It is "nicely patina'd" and shows some wear. There is some worn off paint on theside covers and fenders as shown, lus a very small dent/chip in the top of the gas tank near the filler. There is a crack in the speedo lens. The original seatupholstery has a couple very small tears, ut the foam and vinyl is still soft and supple. The chrome is very nice, ith no pitting except on the shock springs and turn signals. Cosmetically, he bike could (and should, n my opinion) be left as is-it has a wonderful look. Tires are Dunlops with lots of tread, owever, hey are older and must be replaced prior to any road use.
There is a very reasonable reserve on this auction. This motorcycle is not advertised elsewhere, nd this auction is the exclusive opportunity to purchase it. This is a rare bike and RAPIDLY appreciating. An original unmolested example like thisdoesn't come along very often, o NOW is the time to buy-thanks and good luck!
