Information of Rocket Goldstar

The final and most exciting of BSA's long line of pre-unit 646cc parallel twins, which started with the Golden Flash back in 1949, aunched in Feb 1962 comes the mighty Rocket Goldstar. Production with 1584 bikes of which 272 were off road scramblers. With a specially tuned A10 Super Rocket engine in the well proven BSA Goldstar frame, SA created a very fast bike for the time with good handling that became an instant classic. 9:1 compression Super Rocket engine was used with a Spitfire performance camshaft and anAmal Monocarburetor gave 46 bhp as standard. Options as this unit, ith two into one exhaust pipe, lose-ratio RRT2 gearbox, luminum alloy rims, aytona front hub could increase to 50 bhp and add 30% to the price. Nine specials were made for export to California.

Some Histories

This particular bike based on VIN - GA101622 is only 18 numbers after the one sold in Silverstone Auction in 2011. Most likely similar assembly line that left the BSA factory in Birmingham.

The piece of history to this bike is a vintage photo ( see video ) of it raced on the track by previous owner J. Serra using a 500cc Goldstar engine. Photo included in sale.

The owner after J. Serra restored this bike with engine and gear box rebuilt by long time British bike and Goldstarspecialist and racerPatrick Dale. Both ate veterans of Southern California BSA Club members.Both are very good long time friendsI trusted and valued their knowledge and skills. I own few 500 single clubman trim Goldstars built by these gentleman and all bikes runs excellent and very honest condition. This model is more rare and desired than Single Goldstars. Having some regrets but priorities has shifted.
