My BSA A65 for sale

I never ride it since I built my MK It is a shame to not get use out of it so time for it to go.

Very nice, you should have an old bike AND a MK though, thats my plan.
I reckon I could fit one more in the garage

Well I would like to but I have a space issue and I would like to spend a bit more on the car.

Mrs Mookaloid says the bike has to go if I want to spend more on the car.......

So how much are you looking for for the Beezer? It'd look nice in the garage next to my 1933 Sloper 600!

Spyderman - 10/10/05 at 03:30 PM

Oooh, that is a thing of beauty!

If only I could afford it.

Have you got a picture of the sloper? I would like to see that.

A friend of mine has one and I have to say up to about 25 mph it is quite rapid!

Not sure how much mine is worth really - I would hope some where near the £2k mark. What do you think?

Cheers

You can, go on bid, you know you want it!

Mook... dont let it go for less than £1900.
It is worth every penny of that.
I have a 1949 Enfield G in the loft awaiting assembly after full restoration, but I wont do it until I have a private garage.

I'm after a B31 if anybody has one spare. Condition does not have to be great.

mookaloid - 11/10/05 at 08:48 PM

I have discovered that the reg number

DSK 4 69 might be worth more than the bike

So I'm afraid I have pulled it for now - pending further investigations.

Any one know anything about selling interesting reg numbers?

Cheers

That's such a beautiful bike. I would cut the Mrs. allowance or send her back to her parents before I'd let that bike go.
Ive had a lot of old British bikes (including a plunger frame B31, gazza285), but I never had a 650 BSA twin.

Kissy - 12/10/05 at 11:57 AM

Just sell it! There are plenty of agencies who won't actually buy it, but will advertise it for you and take their cut.

If you do sell it (and I personally would never split the number from the bike) Swansea will give you an age-related (i.e. same number format as you have) but it will be non-transferrable for obvious reasons. You will devalue the bike a bit if you do this - lost provenance and all that.

No but I know about buying them!
Since you pulled it from ebay I just bought my Mrs a reg number for her birthday with the bike money

Seriously, I have the same situation with one of my bikes, not sure i'd ever part with the bike ,but if I did then I think if you want to sell then just do it, if you don't the next bloke will. Ring up a couple of the reg no people and ask what they'll give you, I guess thats about £800-1000, my threenumber, three letter is, but not sure that they pay you up front or just sell it for you when they get a buyer?
