This 1970 BSA Rocket Three has been with the late vendor for many years. It was his pride and joy and went to many events all over the country. There is a great history file with the machine and a full set of panniers which were purchased new for the machine (receipt on file) Sadly due on sale due to the late vendor. The BSA will need recommissioning before use.

The BSA Rocket 3 and the doppelganger Triumph Trident were technically advanced, high-performance roadsters made by Triumph Engineering and BSA (both companies part of the Birmingham Small Arms Company) from 1968 to 1975, and sold under both the Triumph and BSA marques. Alongside the Honda CB750, and later the Kawasaki triples, it brought a new level of sophistication to street motorcycles, marking the beginning of the superbike era. It had a 58bhp, 740cc air-cooled OHV unit construction straight-three engine, with four gears and a conventional chassis and suspension. The engine had less vibration than the existing 360° twins. The Rocket 3/Trident was part of Triumph's plan to extend the model range beyond their 650cc parallel twins. It was the last major motorcycle developed by Triumph at Meriden, West Midlands, created to meet the demands of the US market. Although BSA experienced serious financial difficulties, 27,480 Rocket 3/Tridents were produced during its seven-year history.
