This 1966 BSA Lightning is finished in metallic red and chrome fuel tank accents and is powered by a 654cc OHV parallel-twin paired with a four-speed transmission. Features include 19″ front and 18″ rear wire-spoke wheels, a telescopic fork, a black two-up seat, mirrors, a kick starter, a chrome-finished exhaust system, and both center and side stands. This A65L was acquired by the seller in 2024 and is now offered at no reserve with service records and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The bike is finished in metallic red and chrome fuel tank accents, and features include a black two-up bump seat, mirrors, a chrome-finished rear grab handle, and both center and side stands.

The 19″ front and 18″ rear wire-spoke wheels carry external drum brakes and wear Dunlop tires. Suspension consists of a conventional telescopic fork as well as dual shocks mounted to the swingarm.

The chrome-finished handlebar is mounted aft of Smiths instrumentation including a 125-mph speedometer and a tachometer, along with a Lucas ammeter. The five-digit odometer shows 700 miles, all of which have been ridden by the seller. Total mileage is unknown.

The 654cc OHV parallel-twin features two Amal carburetors, a kick starter, and a chrome-finished exhaust system. Work in November 2024 at Mean Marshall’s Motorcycles of Oakland, California included rebuilding the primary and clutch in addition to cleaning the carburetor, changing the oil, and replacing the valve cover gasket and clutch cable.

Power is routed to the rear wheel through a four-speed transmission with right-side shifting and a drive chain.
