It isn't fast. It needs some TLC wrenching every few rides. It was the last of the cast-iron engines. I love this bike. Single-cylinder thumpers...

This engine and the Velocette 500cc engine are likely the coolest looking Brit singles ever made.

SW Ohio? I'm by Miamisburg.....wouldn't mind taking a look sometime.
They make a beautiful KIT to convert it into a vintage TRIALS bike.
I love the looks of the old Enfield or Ariel trials bikes at vintage events.
Here's a nice looking one I saw on ADVRider, I'm thinking about picking up one of these locally that someone put up for sale to tinker on.

That's a really nice look. Do you know what's been changed? I'm not sure what everything I'm seeing is. Some kits I've seen over the years have been really nice. I used to follow a few kits for the Honda Magna (which, from what I've read, is a nice base bike) that converted them to a cafe racer or bobber. The company I followed sold off it's stock and the tools to make the kits years ago.
Edit: Wish I would've tried one of these kits out when I had the chance.

I've always had a soft spot for BSA (and other vintage British bikes). A new Gold Star should be released soon. Fingers crossed it turns out nicely.Looks like a real motorcycle
