1963 BSA 650 Royal Star
This 1963 example shown here is the rarer A65 Royal Star. Finished in “Flamboyant Red”, a pleasing candy apple red color, it was acquired by the current owner in 2005 with the speedometer showing 24,600 miles. It was then taken to BSA/Triumph specialist Aaron Cundall, who rebuilt the engine and transmission and refurbished the rest of the bike. It was then started and run before being “pickled” and placed into storage. (All work documents included with the sale).
1969 Honda CB750KO Sandcast
First production year of the famed CB750 with the first 7414 produced using a sandcast molding technique. This bike’s engine is #6545 of the 7414 produced. Highly sought after and rare!
