Look to the right of the 3rd pictures which shows a Local Los Angeles TV News Crew interviewing Out VGMC Clubs President (in the Red & White Shirt) on the Shows Opening day ! ! ! We have had 10 bikes in this show alone over the past 3+ years. PLEASE NOTE:Above are Pictures are not of this auctions bike but are of this bikes 2 cousins (IE) two other bikes we also built & restored our other Vintage Racing: the yellow 1978 SUZUKI RM 250's & a Aluminum & Green Vintage CR Elsinore 250 Vintage Race bike we Displayed at the "WORLDS LARGEST" MOTORCYCLE SHOW" (the Cycle World / Progressive Motorcycle Show (Los Angeles California area)..in Our "Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Clubs" Booth earlier (December).

Again This Beautiful 1967 BSA 650cc THUNDERBOLT TWIN ...was at one time had a sidecar on her I have the Bikes side stand however the Prior owner removed part of the side stand bracket (as you don't need a side stand with a side car) so the small bracket will need to be reattached again if you want a side stand. or on ebay I am sure there are lots of BSA center stands up for sale as most people remove them to save weight on their bikes. Again I have the Original BSA side stand. * * PLEASE NOTE: I think overall this is a very Nice looking Bike in very Nice Overall Condition like most any bike that is nearly "FIFTY YEARS OLD" She will have some personality as most any Classic Vehicle has some level of it's minor imperfections ...However If you are looking for a Perfect Bike or a Vintage Show or Concourse show bike etc etc "Please Look Elsewhere" as I feel this is ..just a Nice Looking bike that will require some work to make her a 100% functioning & running bike again...However keep in mind that that we are selling at about 1/4 to 1/3 of the NADA.com a nice example of one of these should NADA Blue Book value is for a Nice Example of one of these 1967 650 BSA THUNDERBOLTs At this time these are becoming Very Hard find in Good Condition anywhere near like this Wonderful Bike ...So if you are looking for a Great Looking Fun Go most Anywhere kind of bike ..These 650 BSA's Are Famous For Doing that...

However If you have Achievable Expectations & some level of mechanical skills this may be a Great opportunity to get a Very Nice Legendary Vintage Bike for Peanuts that ...& it's value will most likely Continue to Keep going Up & Up the Next few years as particularly these 1967 650 cc BSA "THUNDERBOLTS"s are Rapidly becoming Harder and Harder to find in reasonably Nice condition like this Wonderful Bike.. She has been in Dry Covered storage for many (Aprox 20) years.Again Her Engine turns over Very Smoothly and without any apparent Resistance. she appears to have her Ignition items (Coils Points wiring etc etc In fact much of her Ignition etc Wiring looks to be fairly new & or Recently installed) She has a Headlight + Taillight Etc So please keep in mind ...Though she looks AMAZING this is a little bit of a Project bike as She will need some work before she is ready to return to service & have her running again as she has been in Dry Storage for the last few decades. TITLE INFORMATION:Here is some More GREAT NEWS ! ...I will be including the California DMV Computer print out on this bike & also a California Dept. of Motor Vehicles (Notarized) "Bill of Sale" from myself to you the new owner.. which from what I hear in states outside of California should be what you need to register it if you live inside or outside of California. ... (IE) If you just want to Vintage Race or Vintage Show this bike at Vintage bike & car meets & Shows... the DMV Transfer of ownership "Bill of Sale" is all you will need...Again I will also include the California Department of Motor Vehicles Current DMV Computer Records Print Out on this Wonderful Bike that shows & Proves that because this Beauty was in storage for the past Aprox. 2+ Decades.. there are No Current DMV Computer Records ("WHICH IS REALLY GOOD NEWS" ! ) on this Wonderful bike & therefore there should be NO DMV PENALTIES NO back fees and NO back taxes etc etc. owed on this Wonderful 1967 BSA THUNDERBOLT Bike". Whether you live inside California or in any of the other 50 states & If you attend Vintage Bike Meets Vintage Bike Races & Vintage Bike Shows etc the Notarized Calif. DMV "Bill of Sale" (Vehical Tansfer & Reassignment Form) is all you will need. If you would like to register this bike here in California to be used as an everyday street legal bike here in California my Vehicle Registration Office said that because this bike had been in covered storage for many years (the last 2 + Decades) therefore if you live here in California & feel you want to make this an everyday street bike & get license tags on her again Again it will be Easy because this bike is currently off the DMV Computer books & therefore there will be NO back fees (as typically after about 10 years California DMV records fall off the DMV Computers) and Again you can make this a currently registered Street bike here in Calif. & Again lic tags are not required for Vintage Bike Races Car & Motorcycle Shows & Vintage Motorcross Racing events etc here in California & also keep in mind California street license tags are also not required if you live out of state & do Vintage Bike Shows and Events etc etc etc) ..please feel free to email me or call me if you need me to clarify this any further. Again this is a Bike that has been in Dry Storage for decades & as indicated above and below at this time she is not a running bike and will need some work to be a 100% functional & running bike again.
