Description
Displaying
just 2,660 miles; is fitted with the marque's 343cc single-cylinder engine;
Hagon rear shock absorbers; attractive red and chrome colour scheme that suits
the bike's classic lines particularly well
Few motorcycles capture
the spirit of classic British motorcycling quite so well as the BSA B40. Simple,
robust and honest in its design, the B40 became a popular lightweight single
thanks to its dependable nature and easy-going riding characteristics, qualities
that continue to attract enthusiasts today.
Originally manufactured in
1961, this handsome BSA B40 is fitted with the marque's 343cc single-cylinder
engine and is presented in an attractive red and chrome colour scheme that suits
the bike's classic lines particularly well. Retaining all the charm associated
with Britain's largest motorcycle manufacturer, it offers an appealing route
into classic motorcycle ownership.
The machine is fitted with a
speedometer currently displaying 2,660 miles, although, as with many motorcycles
of this age, the mileage cannot be warranted. Sensible upgrades include the
fitment of Hagon rear shock absorbers, a popular improvement that enhances ride
quality whilst remaining sympathetic to the bike's character.
The vendor
advises that the BSA was last running approximately 2-3 months ago before being
placed into dry storage.
The accompanying V5C records the motorcycle as a
Historic Vehicle, meaning it benefits from the associated taxation and MOT
exemptions afforded to qualifying vehicles.
An attractive and
increasingly sought-after British single, this B40 presents an excellent
opportunity for an enthusiast looking for a machine with an appealing colour
scheme, historic status and classic BSA pedigree, it looks ready to return to
the road and provide plenty of enjoyment for its next
custodian.
