Used 1963 9,983 miles
Location:
Bridgeport, CT
Description:
I purchased it in 2008 and did a complete teardown and rebuild. cleaned out the sludge trap and replaced everything from bushings to pushrods to pistons and rings. New Avon Speedmaster tyres. There are no " new" components on this bike. It was sold to me as all original. The numbers match. They are different but they came on the bike together. As you can see from a few of the pictures, I'm conducting some maintenance on the oil pump but is easy to put it back together in a day. I suspect there are only a few hundred good examples of these left on planet Earth. Many are in museums. Some have been used to create aftermarket Rocket Goldstars. Here is some standard lingo in the amazing Super Rocket; a superbike of its day. It was called the Super Rocket because it went like one. The last of BSA’s beloved pre-unit-construction twins was by far the fastest and sportiest of the whole line, before the factory modernized its twins with unit-construction crankcases in 1962. The A10 650cc engine first appeared in 1949 in a plunger frame as the Golden Flash, which predated Triumph’s 650cc Thunderbird by a year. The A10 was an enlarged version of its 500cc A7 model twin—BSA’s first postwar model in 1946—and it quickly gained a reputation for the solid reliability for which the factory was already famous. The bigger twin was equally reliable, although it didn’t have the rorty reputation of its rival Triumph and Norton twins. That would change with the introduction of the Road Rocket model of 1955, which had high-compression pistons and a hot camshaft for genuine “ton up” performance; it was tested at 109 MPH by “Motor Cycling” magazine. Come with some extras. BSA shop manuals, new decals, and a chrome BSA passenger holder. Still available at ListedBuy!
