1961 BSA 650 A10 Spitfire Scrambler Cold Start

BSA's badass open class 650cc twin race bike from the late 1950s/early 1960s was built to compete with Triumph, Matchless, AJS, Royal Enfield, Norton, Greeves and all other sorts of desert sleds of the classic California desert racing era.
Thing is, it was so gorgeous, you wonder how anyone would take this gleaming, 400-lb beast out in the dirt and hurtle across the open desert at 70mph+!
This is a completely rebuilt and restored example of those glory days! The sound will give you goosebumps!

nice bike do those tires have a dot stamp on them

[@HumberNorton]

I don't think so but if I were going to convert it to street use, I'd change them.
