Download or read book BSA Pre Unit Twins written by Mick Walker and published by Crowood Press (UK). This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BSA was once the largest - and most successful - motorcycle company in the world. Many of the most famous 'Beezas' were powered by twin-cylinder engines, in both vee and parallel configurations. During the interwar years BSA built a series of side-valve and overhead valve v-twins in 500, 750 and 1000cc. After the Second World War, BSA built a family of vertical twins in 500cc [A7] and 650cc [A10] guises. Their names bring back fond memories: Star Twin, Shooting star, Golden Flash, Road Rocket, Super Rocket and the magnificent Rocket Gold Star. This is the very first book to deal exclusively with both the interwar v-twins and the postwar A7/10 series.

Book excerpt: The BSA 500 and 650cc Unit Twins were the top-of-the-range models for BSA from the early 1960s through to the Rocket 3 of 1969. The model range covered every angle, from staid tourer, through off-road racers through to true-road burners. This book has two parts - the first describes the design and development of the range from its inception in 1962 to the final demise of BSA in 1973, detailing the various models produced each year. The second part of the book looks at the practicalities of restoring and running the model, through documenting both owners' experiences and a full restoration of a typical bike. The illustrated record of the restoration of a 1965 Lightning identifies the pitfalls that will confront the restorer and the practical modifications that can be made to provide a reliable mount for today's traffic conditions.
