The change in the learner law restricting new riders to machines not exceeding 250cc resulted in a change in character for quarter litre machines with greater emphasis being placed on performance at the expense of flexibility. One of the quickest British two-fifties to emerge was the BSA Starfire introduced during 1968 which benefited from the firms success in scrambles.
This example, dating from 1969 benefits from the twin leading shoe front introduced for that year. The blue and black paintwork are described as being in good condition, as is the majority of the brightwork. The engine is "fair" and is couples to a good transmission and electrical system. It is offered with a Swansea V%C and an MOT certificate valid until June 2008.
