1955 BSA A10 650 Rideby
See the Cold-Start Video I've uploaded as well. Starts one kick, hot or cold!
This 1955 BSA 650cc A10 is a rare home market model in the US, in original maroon livery and with the larger UK-market petrol tank. All original, starts first kick every time and runs "sweet as a nut" as the Brits like to say.
If you're new to classic British bikes, this model could well be the most easy to own, to maintain and to ride, from the Classic 1950s era when BSA was the largest manufacturer of motorcycles in the world.

Jump in and ride shotgun with me in this fabulously restored 1956 Continental Mk II (NOT a Lincoln, by the way), possibly the most gorgeous classic American car of all time. Only made two years ('56 and '57) as it was too expensive to build and Ford lost money on every one. The ride quality is sublime, the steering and braking nearly effortless, the ease of wafting along in this Detroit icon sh...

Prototype and ONLY Trackmaster Hinckley Triumph

This is a unique motorcycle. One-of-a-kind. It is the prototype for a Trackmaster Triumph that was planned for series production, but Trackmaster went belly up before they could put it into production. This is the ONLY one ever built for the Hinckley-built Triumph. It is a 95%-completed project. The nickle-plated, chromoly frame is a work of art, as was Trackmaster's legend. A little bit of sor...

Here's a lovely example of the 350cc Triumph "Twenty-One" (350cc is 21 cubic inches) in polychromatic blue, a particularly attractive colour on the full-bodied little twin. These were designed to lure the growing legion of scooter riders in the 50s and early 60s over to the Triumph marque, to hopefully move them up to a 500cc or 650cc twin later on. Know affectionately as "The Bathtub," most of...

Love that Brit bike sound. My Bonneville was made almost 20 years later but has that same irregular sound when cold. th-cam.com/video/ip6rU0z54YU/w-d-xo.html
Magnificent ❤️
Very nice bike. This color is very good. And that sound great.
BSA motorcycles were top of the line. Expensive, yes. Worth the cost by far. Sorry that BSA died out.😢
The Manx has always been 2-3 notches above the rest of the single cylinders, and so was the price...
Nice!
nice bike
Now that's a motorcycle.
Beautiful bike! I remember the dealer near me (Honda/BSA) had some BSAs that looked like they'd been shipped as deck cargo on a submarine. Sometime in the late 60s, I believe.
Youv'e got some really nice machines👍 .out of curiosity ,do you restore them yourself ?
Thanks for your comment! This particular BSA was an older British restoration, and was in this condition when I acquired it around 15 years ago. Restorations done in the UK back when these were still fairly plentiful and "cheap as chips" were not done to the extremely high "showroom or better" standards of today. Other bikes of mine on here were restored by me, some others were acquired already restored, and some are unrestored originals.
❤❤❤❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
beautiful machine,thanks for sharing
Loved the A10.
What’s that stupid exhaust about
Billy: That "stupid exhaust" is actually the original factory exhaust system on the BSA B50MX. It's admittedly, a stupid system, an extra 25 pounds of chromed steel on a lightweight racing machine, and I have no idea what the "geniuses" at BSA were thinking while their whole empire was sinking in 1973. Maybe it had to comply with some noise regulations in the USA? Anyway, probably nobody raced their BSA B50MX with that double-megaphone system, and took them off. Then they got lost, discarded, etc. So the few with the original "stupid" exhaust are extremely rare and the exhaust system itself is worth $1000!
I had a Norton p11, my buddies dad had a hornet. We loved these machines
VERY NICE
Nice build. Though I'm not sure if it is possible to fit a centre stand to a Manx frame. Nor can I see any of the frame fittings for oiling primary chain. Can't tell what the wheels come from. Anyway I'd say a Manx styled wideline featherbed framed, Goldie powered bike built in fashion of the late fifties and the sixties.
That is so nice. Didn't like the oil smoke at first start up. Valve guide seals? Volt meter is a welcome touch for Lucas, the king of darkness.
Triumph over here thanks so much
Had a Goldie In the 60S, and Johnny Rudge who raced the Royal Enfield factory bikes, offered me a Manx minus engine for £100. Couldn't afford it. Always think of it when I fill the car and it costs about the same.😢😢
Those motors sound like they were built to last. Unlike window regulators that are built today.
DB ~ I think the Continental used Buick starter motors for its window lifts! LOL
I'm going to assume that you're doing just a short drive (around in circles), and that's why your left foot is always on the clutch pedal ?
Yep!
I had put the bike up for sale and nowadays it seems everyone needs to see a "cold start." Truth is, most old bikes with carbs start easier from cold than from hot! I should've kept this one. What a nice old Sporty it was...
Why would anyone think a cold start on an electric start bike is a big deal?
Icing on the cake? We ancients remember that the DBD 34 had first rate handling. Putting that fine motor into a featherbed is fun, but not really necessary. Here, Norton 650ss.
Beauty. Smaller front wheel would be more accurate
I agree. I sold it.
@@HumberNorton going to be building a Evo road king into a duo glide tribute
Traumwagen. Aber der Motor ist ja eine Schlangengrube.
Ach ja, aber die Viper ist sooo sanft und verführerisch! 🤣
What a lovely sound. I road race a West coast hornet. And I just bought a 1966 Jan-Feb ET Hornet project. Still has the Handed Monoblocks and the ET coils. Quite rough shape as it had a rough life.
4sale?
I thought that was a Gold Star engine ... I remember that when throttling off sometimes you'd get a whistle from the Exhaust ...we never worked out what caused the whistle... brings back memories of the 60s,,, Nottingham to Matlock Bath... cheers .
That "whistle" sound you recall was what was known in the industry and hobby as the "twitter." It was a function of the cam overlap and the shape of the silencer and baffles within. And indeed, the stock Gold Star silencer has been referred to as the "twitter pipe" ever since.
@@HumberNorton I have one remaining picture of my Norton 500cc Dominator .. re-worked after being done by a car ... Palocramatic Blue Manx style tank ... we didn't know one day we'd make history worth telling ... cheers ... the smell of Castrol R
He cannot shift very well. What a disgusting steering wheel cover.
The tank looks too small like the Hummer125 tank on some Sportsters. The room for your ass & a gallon of gas gets old and sometimes aggravating when you run dry and you are too old to push it to the gas station ⛽. Stopping for gas every 100 miles is annoying as well.
All a matter of personal taste. The BSA Hornet was a race machine, pure and simple. It excelled at Class C racing (flat track, TT) as well as rough scrambles and desert. The tank was as big as it needed to be, so why add unnecessary bulk and weight? This example has a factory lighting kit added. The fiberglass tank was over 2 gallons (not one gallon as you stated), and looks in perfect proportion to the machine. I think most other vintage bike aficionados would disagree with you, but when you buy yours, you can always fit the 4- or 5-gallon UK-market tank off a Spitfire Mk II, which makes the bike look like a pregnant guppy...but that's just MY opinion.
@@HumberNorton That was an old saying.l know that it has 2 gallons.
This is what I hoped to see, thank you.
Spectacular
Beautiful! I envy you! That would be a great Sunday rider on some wooded country lanes! Well done!
For me, the BSA Lightning Rocket 650 is the most attractive bike ever produced. Thanks for sharing!
Nice Etype but radio needs swapping out for period piece
Get rid of them bumpers
It’s a must take those bumpers off
Paul: I, like everyone else, agree those Federal-mandated 5-mph bumpers are unattractive. But with a near 100-point car (JCNA average of 99.875), you keep to absolute originality everywhere! It will be on Bring A Trailer in a few weeks, for sale on auction. So if you buy it, I will expect you to backdate it to 1973 bumpers! ~ Dave
The shifting works very smoothly.
