• Rare West Coast BSA Hornet
• Recently restored
• Correct numbers machine

The BSA Hornet was developed by BSA in 1964 as purpose-built off-road and desert racer motorcycle in response to demand from the US market for a stripped-down Lightning with more power. BSA actually produced two versions of the bike to satisfy the demands of American riders, the East Coast and West Coast models. Although they could be used on public roads, BSA Hornets were supplied without headlights or taillights and with straight-through exhaust pipes, high level on the east coast model and low TT pipes on the west coast version and fitted with twin carburettors.

Here on offer is a 1967 BSA A65 650cc West Coast Hornet which is a very rare bike compared to the more common East Coast Model. The current vendor has restored this machine to a high standard retaining many original parts where possible. A correct numbers machine it has re-chromed rims and a rebuilt engine and gearbox. A striking desert sled machine of its time, These bikes were used by the likes of Steve McQueen for desert racing back in the day.
