BSA faced demands for more power from their highly successful A10 range and countered with the 'Road Rocket' of 1954, advertised as 'The World's Greatest Motorcycle'. Excellent it certainly was, providing plenty of power and reliability for the café-racer crowd. So successful, indeed, that many 'copies' have been created from standard A10 machines. 805 BPE is a believed original, matching-numbers 'Road Rocket' (print-out on file), fully rebuilt to his habitual standard by a private master-restorer in 2017. A 'large-badge' tank is fitted, the owner's preference. Offered with a V5C for its Surrey number and an MOT to July 2018, this lovely machine requires the usual safety checks and setting up for its new owner.
