Hi guys, I'm just getting into vintage BSA bikes. I put a couple of pics up on my blog and was wondering if anyone could help me telling approx what year these bikes are. You can check it out here: You must be logged in to see this link.
Appreciate your help!

Well ~ I reckon at least one of them is mid 1930s as my old mate Digless (NZ) was totally into Vintage racing and they look the part !!! Although I am not an expert, Doug gave me some insight ~ HTH ~

| The one on the trailer is a B series, probably 250,sidevalve, ranged from about 1938 - 1946. I think B11? Its very similar to the B31 350 which had an o/head valve set-up. Not sure about the other one, but could be an early 60's GoldStar 650?? If you Google BSA year numbers and compare the frame/engine numbers you'll get a better idea. Cheers, Tony. |

the bike on the trailer is a 1946-7 C11 250cc over head valve the other not 100% but i would say 1965-68 A65 650cc twin non standard front end looks like someone has tried for a chopper look.
if you google BSA C11 and A65 i,m sure they will be somewhere near right. both are great bikes you see around quite often ebay |

| Thanks a lot for the info, are there really a lot of the 1946-7 C11 250cc about? I would have assumed they were a rare breed.... |

| C11 BSA were common enough, and so were C10, the side valce version. They're a good thing for restoration, but I'd prefer a B31 any day - the gold star cams fit |
