Used Bsa B50 for sale in Poole

Here we have for sale a 1972 BSA B50 Gold Star 500cc showing only 7676 miles on the clock and just 2 owners.

We had the bike running recently - please check the video on our website. Currently stored in our Showroom with fuel drained out.

This bike has come from a customers collection and is in great condition. Minor surface rust in some small areas, apart from that, all panels are offered free of damage, scratches, or dents. The seat is impeccable and the engine area is also very presentable, as seen in the photos, with the wheels being particularly clean. Has the look of a very well-cared-for machine, not many of this age around, especially in this condition.

It is presented in tidy, even admirable condition for a 50-year-old machine. Minor surface rust in some small areas, apart from that, all panels are offered free of damage, scratches, or dents. The seat is impeccable and the engine area is also very presentable, as seen in the photos, with the wheels being particularly clean. Has the look of a very well-cared-for machine, not many of this age around, especially in this condition.

Specs:
Engine 499cc (30.5 cu in) air-cooled, four-stroke, OHV unit single
Power 34 hp (25 kW)
Transmission 4-speed, multi-plate wet clutch

Model History:
BSA's earlier 500cc single was the BSA Gold Star, a pre-unit machine with a duplex frame similar to that of the Golden Flash twin. The Gold Star was not considered suitable for the progression to unit construction. The name was revived when the 250cc BSA C15/Starfire was eventually developed into the 500 cc B50 (via the B40 & B44). The dry sump B50 included features such as "oil in the frame" and the electrics in a single removable 'pod'. BSA kept production costs down by using parts across a range of models, launched in 1971. About 5,700 were built. Some B50s were modified for off-road use by specialist builders such as Eric Cheney.

Racing success:
B50 bikes were successful in both road-racing and off-road events. A modestly modified B50 Gold Star 500 entered by Mead & Tomkinson of Hereford, England and ridden by Nigel Rollason and Clive Brown won the 500cc class in both the Thruxton 500 miler and the Barcelona 24 hours ( at the Montjuïc circuit), and won the Zolder 24-hour race outright. Also, a B50 fielded by Mead & Tomkinson once held the class lap record in the Production Isle of Man TT.
