@@Chappers-be7ds I get the impression you actually know what you are talking about - yep, management was sadly lacking. Honda always said they couldn`t afford to stop racing. When Norton won the TT with Steve Hislop, against all odds (and Foggy on a Yamaha) The managements only comment was that the pit area was untidy.
Its an engineering impossibility . a pair of pistons running parallel on the same crank position with each two stokes behind each other will conspire to self destruct , which is what they do . Nothing to do with how how well the crank is balanced simply a function of the archaic design . Flat track boys blew these things up every weekend Real pity .
I love the AJS and Matchless heavyweight models, and have always felt that they’re underrated. I owned a 500 and two 350s in the 1960s, and they never let me down. Too heavy for me now, sadly.
This felt so weird. I used to own a Model 16MS, the AJS version - same year. It's like riding it again... It's a rather neat trick you did in replacing the front side lights with indicators.
They do an Ajs 125 now that is very light, the engine is made in China as a copy of a Japanese bike, not expensive and they seem to be a decent little bike, quite a lot of them in the owners club., Do them in some really nice colours.
It cannot be à 1964 model The A65 engine OK but the front brake has been introduced in 1968.. Great machine indeed, easy to ride I owned the 1969 spitfire mk4 version ..
Frame and Engine matching and defo 1964 - all the records are there. The previous owner changed the front wheel to upgrade the braking power. Engine is a A65C
The Pinnacle of BSA Perfection came in the mid-60s and lasted until 1970
Someday I will own one. Lovely bike.
ماشا الله
What a lovely looking machine.
It looks like a really smooth ride.
lovely, i bought what might be the modern equivalent, the royal enfield 650
A nice job.
Design of unit Bsa Twins-killed off the company
Lack of investment and unwillingness to change killed off the British Motorcycle industry.

Shame they vibrated themselves into eterntity- well at least my two did!
Provided the crank has been dynamically balanced, they run really smooth.

Regardless of any modifications, a great looking and sounding bike.
what is the difference between a 64 T-Bolt and this 64 Super Rocket?
