As the follow-on to BSA's legendary Gold Star thumper, he 441 Victor had big shoes to fill. Tough act, specially at a time when the market included four Japanese competitors that were pumping out increasingly improving products, omething the Goldie never had to contend with. But the 441 did well as a dual-purpose model in America, ven making it onto enduro courses with some success.
Eric Cheney never worked for any motorcycle manufacturer, referring to make motorcycles in his own eccentric way. His greatest success came after the BSA competition department had closed. The venture was uniquely British. The bikes were designed and built on a shoestring budget in little more than a domestic garage. But the results were spectacular. Each handbuilt motorcycle took over 400 man-hours to complete.
The bike offered here is Cheney’s 45th built. Of 1967 vintage, his Mark 2 machine has been maintained, aced and modified by someone who obviously knew what they were doing. A stronger Triumph leftside engine cover was fitted to the 1967 441 Victor motor, nd for reliability and tune a new Amal carb was installed. Modifications to suspension are Ceriani forks up front and Curnutt rear shocks. Wheels have a BSA lightweight rear hub and twin leading shoe brake fitted to the front. Both have fresh tires, nd the original front wheel accompanies the bike.
The bike is offered in great condition, aving just been gone through by a British bike specialist. The usual re-commissioning of brakes, uspension, arburetion and spark was all it took. The engine has great compression, tarts and runs easily. The bike is fast and handles well.
This rare opportunity for a great classic off-road bike is offered with a clean, lear California Street title.
