Description

For selling consideration i am offering a very rare and special british motorcycle. built for a short time the Bsa Triple was not good enough tocompete  with the Honda cb750 but was way ahead of its time with some of the engineering and british design . Now is one of the most desired and sought after Bsa from that era. few are left in original condition and this is as close to original as you could find. I purchased few motorcycle from a collector and this Bsa was one of them. it's been sitting for 18 years inside his barn(dry and temp controlled). ike was dirty but was all there so i decided to buy it. Went through the carbs. all new fluids . resh everything and guess what? few kicks and it started. stars easy. idles well but i had not got an opportunity to ride it because we have 1 inch of snow in Chicago. everything works  . ights. horn . ll controls . Has the Ray Gun exhaust( Campbell Made In Britain).  all Lucas electronics( head ligt. turn signals. ail light. ll controll butons and switches). unstall  Headlight brackets. riginal wheels. fork. shocks etc. i am no expert in british bike but based on the research i have done and with some help from some aficionados i am very confident to offer this bike as all original. Some blots. clmps. little fittings may not be original but no major mods or aftermarket parts alterate the original condition. I cleaned the bike and came out pretty good. paint. chrome. ll surfaces look very good considering is 44 years old but there are scratches. dents( a large one on top of the tank) . ome pitting and rust on the wheels. spokes. enders but nothing major . othing is rotten or putred. all wiring . cables. hoses amd fittings look good and all work as they should. Matching motor and frame no's . Bike is titled . have 2 keys . a spare cluth cable and a spare headligh bulb. please check my feedback and bid with confidence. check my other listings for some cool Ducatis i am selling and stay tuned for more classic/ collectable bikes i will offer for sale soon. thank you and good luck . ls email. ext or call if have questions. best regards  Ciprian 8479128884

this bike had started such interest i am shocked. it seems to be quite a looker. Have heard from some experts and would like to make some corrections and shine some light upon what is not original. Everything on the bike is original but the chrome on the engine covers. front and rear hubs and triple tree is not factory someone must have done it after purchase. The exhaust is not correct . is from the previous Mk1 model but is the exhaust everyone wants. much more desirable than the boring cones . Tires are bad but original Dunlop t100. If anyone else spots something that i overlooked pls feel free to contact.
