1967 BSA Royal Star

Intro: For your consideration is this nut and bolt full cosmetically AND mechanically restored 1967 BSA Royal Star 500CC. This motorcycle was restored by me in 2017, essentially presents and rides as new, and has only been ridden 87 miles since restoration. Motor and frame are matching with matching Wisconsin title in my name. I am a BSA nut and have been restoring motorcycles as a winter hobby during my retirement for 20 years! The level of quality of paintwork, details, originality, and mechanical condition should meet the needs of the most detailed collector.
The Royal Star is a single carb 500CC by BSA. It is more of a “daily rider” type model than the twin carb 650CC bikes. Out of the BSAs in my collection, this one is one of the nicer riding examples due to its simplicity. It is very easy to start, to shift, and ride. This example is in stock spec (fuel tank, paint color, carb, fuel taps, rims, side covers, etc.).
I have limited storage space, too many motorcycles, and want to continue the hobby of restoring thus I am selling a few bikes from my collection. I am selling my 1964 BSA Cyclone, 1967 BSA Royal Star, and 1965 BSA Lightning Cafe, all 10/10 fully cosmetic and restored bikes. Provided is extensive video footage, photos, and details so you can see just how nice these motorcycles are.
Please view the video which shows this BSA in detail. At 7:11 the Cyclone is shown. The cosmetics are shown in detail and the bike is shown running and starting. This footage was taken in September of 2021.

Condition: As stated, this BSA is essentially like a brand new motorcycle. It has been completely restored mechanically and cosmetically in 2017 and has traveled only 87 miles since the restoration. It has been kept in my climate controlled garage since restoration. The motor was professionally restored by a British bike specialist. The engine was in great shape initially. The cases were split and engine completely gone through. The pistons were good but new rings installed, cylinders were honed, valves reground, parts were media blasted, proper Amal monobloc carb rebuilt, carb slide restored/resleeved professionally by a company in Washington, etc. Timing has been set, and motor completely gone through and tuned, and is fully sorted. The gearbox was in excellent shape prior and received basic servicing and operates as it should. Forks have been fully rebuilt with new bushings and new seals. The wheels received new stainless spokes and new K70 Dunlop tires. Rear shocks are new, all cables are new, battery is new, wire harness, etc. It has electronic ignition, new coils, solid state rectifier, and lights. The speedometer was professionally rebuilt. The bike rides exactly as it should and does not need any mechanical attention. It kicks over easy, does not smoke, and is a blast to ride.
Cosmetically the bike looks as new. All aluminum has been polished. All chrome has either been rechromed or replaced. If one sticks their nose up to the tank, some slight distortion in the chrome can be seen at the front right about the size of a golfball. This is just a slight distortion in the chrome from a leaded repair underneath. This is not something that can be seen unless you are looking for it and know it is there. I am pointing this out should the buyer be looking for 100 point Concourse in every aspect. The tank paintwork was professionally done. The metallic blue is the factory color and looks stunning. The paintwork is of premium quality, has much depth, and looks as it should. The tank has been resealed. The tank and side covers themselves, including emblems, look as new. The side covers are the proper fiberglass, are new, and in excellent shape. Seat cover, seat foam, seat tray, gaiters, emblems, grips, rubbers, and etc. are all new. The level of quality and detail on this BSA should meet the needs of even the most detailed collectors.
Conclusion: The BSA Royal Star is a special, beautiful, excellent riding, and hard to find model. As shown, this example is of impressive cosmetic and mechanical condition. The amount of detailed work, refurbished parts, and new parts is quite extensive. I take the detail and properness of my restorations very seriously but of course do it for enjoyment. This is not a motorcycle I truly want to sell but need the space. I am hoping an enthusiast can become the next caretaker of this beautiful machine.
The BSA Cyclone, Lightning Cafe, and Royal Star I am selling from my collection are located at my residence in West Bend, WI 53090. I do not mind helping you with shipping logistics and am willing to sell to out of country buyers.
