Franck's 1961 BSA Goldstar

.








Much has been written about the BSA Gold Star. My 1961 Clubman’s model Gold Star has been developed for competitions in road and short circuit events. I found these last year in France. It's an original 1961 model. The DBD34 has never been restored and the machine is in Original trim except the Bacon Slicers on the front wheel. Very pleasant to ride, start easily (When you know how it starts) 499 cm3 single - Bore and Stroke : 85X88 42hp /6500 Piston 8.75/1 Front Brake : 190 mm RRT2 gearbox Original Dunlop alloy Rim - Lyta alloy petrol tank (18Liters) Weight : aprox 180 kg 38 mm Amal MK2 Carb for an easy start instead of the Amal GP.
