The BSA Road Rocket was developed from the A10 Golden Flash. It was the first ‘sports bike’ in the BSA A10 series. The A10 had a reputation for reliability but was struggling to compete against the Triumph engines and the Norton Featherbed frames. Advertised by BSA in 1956 as 'undoubtedly the world's greatest motorcycle’, the Road Rocket was discontinued in 1958, when it was replaced by the BSA Super Rocket.
Amazingly residing in single ownership from 1959-2001, this correct numbers machine. It has previously been restored to a high standard. It is offered with a current V5C on file, along with the old continuation RF60 logbook. also included are many spare parts including the original carburettor.
