The Essential Buyers Guide BSA 500 & 650 Twins

Product Description

BSA Twins (Essential Buyers Guide) (Essential Buyers Guide) (Essential Buyers Guide Series) by Peter Henshaw

Sometimes living under the shadow of the flashier, high profile Triumph twins, the equivalent BSAs were just as numerous, exported to the USA and all over the world. BSA was often seen as a less glamorous marque than Triumph or Norton, more associated with commuting and sidecars rather than coffee bar cowboys. But that doesnt detract from its collectability today, and the bikes built are highly useable, enjoyable classics. Unlike the many marque histories, this book is a practical guide to buying one of these bikes today. It covers the complete range, from the very first 1946 500cc A7 to the final 1973 650cc A65s. Chapters include what to look for (10min and 30min evaluations); spares prices; guides to auctions and paperwork; lists of useful contacts in the BSA community; and just as important, consideration of whether its the right bike for you. One hundred colour photos, useful appendices and expert advice mean this book could save you 1000s.
