BSA A10 Road Rocket

Genuine. and correct. 1956 Road Rocket. engine no. CA10RR*. frame EA7*. so both consistent with year. On the road. lovely to ride. 12 months tax (free). MoT (although Mot exempt as pre-1960).

The photos speak for themselves. in lovely overall condition although. after you've spent a glorious summer on a bike which is a delight to ride. and looks and sounds wonderful. you might choose. come the winter. to address cosmetics on the the tank (see photos) and a patch on the front wheel rim (rear wheel is stainless and perfect). The tank is Polychromatic Green. other correct colours for the Road rocket being Silver. and Red. so you could take your pick.

Full professional rebuild in 2007. with receipts for items and associated labour for £thousands including: Triumph 4-spring clutch (light as a feather and absolutely NO drag - a superb upgrade). g/box mainshaft bearings. g/box oil seal. wheel brgs. fork stanchions / bushes. seal holders / bushes. s/arm bushes. b/e shells. l/e bushes. c/shaft oil seal. wiring loom. c/shaft roller bearing. c/shaft bush. rear brake shoes. crankshaft grinding / helicoils. primary chain. oil pressure relief valve. m/shaft thrust washer. rear shocks. clutch chainwheel. rear tyre. rear chain & sprocket. rear wheel s/s rebuild. frame powder coating. and so on and so on. the list is long. The head wasn't done as I'd had it done a couple years before. Around 3. 00 very happy miles since. Magneto just reconditioned. 12V electrics so you can see and be seen! Magnetic sump plate.

Comes with a well thumbed Haynes. Pitman's Book of the BSA Twins (1960). and Roy Bacon's BSA Twin Restoration. Owned since 1998. Selling due to injury but nonetheless a really tough decision as this is a wonderful. reliable. bike to ride and own. is very well sorted indeed and. with twin clocks. naked headlight. timing side rev counter drive and smaller front mudguard all distinctive and correct items. is a bit different from the Flashes and Super Rockets which you see rather more often.
