In 1968 BSA announced many changes to it's product line of singles, twins and the new three cylinder machine named the "Rocket Three" for thre 1969 model year. It now concentrated on the more promising USA and to a lesser extent Canadian market.Despite the adding of modern accessories,for example turn signals and even differing versions of the A65 twins for home and export sale. The damage had been done and the end was near. The A65 offered here is a shining example of what BSA was and continues to be to this day. Beautiful to look at, reliable and by British standards...fast. Restored with new paint and decals. New instruments, carbs and wheels. Started once since restoration completed and ready to enjoy.
