• A presentable BSA A50
• Runs and rides well
• Unusual colour scheme
• V5C on file

Launched in 1962, the 500cc BSA A50 Star was widely exported, notably to the US and Australia, and also became a top seller in Britain. The model was known as the Royal Star in export markets and the Star or Star Twin in Britain. From 1966 it was rebranded the Royal Star for all markets. BSA recognised the need for an updated look that preserved the best features of the A10 but which would expand its appeal still further in the lucrative but competitive US market. Working with Chief Development Engineer Bert Perrigo, they developed the unit-construction Star Twins.

On offer is a 1963 BSA A50, which was restored some time ago and has been in use since. During the refurbishment, it was fitted with a twin leading-shoe brake, new wiring harness, fuel tank liner and new Amal monobloc carburettor. The engine and gearbox were overhauled with new pistons, the head was fitted with hardened valve seats, and the electrics were renewed with electronic ignition fitted. We have been informed it is 'running very well and is a joy to ride.' Sadly, not much history is known about the machine, but it does have a current V5C, dating certificate, various invoices for parts, and some old MOT certificates.
