Description

1972 BSA B44 VS Unregistered US Import Barn Find Classic Restoration Project Manufacturer: BSA Model: B44 Victor Special Year: 1972 Engine No: B44EA832 Frame No: JD00275B44VS Colour: Black Mileage: 10 Capacity: 441cc Starting at: £1499.99 Stock No: 90561 This minimalist 1972 BSA B44 440cc Victor Special has recently been imported from North America where it has spent all its life – the air is thin and the climate is far kinder to motorcycles than ours. The single most important purchase for a classic restoration project is the bike to restore, whether it's going to be a commercial venture or just a hobby interest it all starts here!. PLEASE CHECKOUT THE PICTURES........ As you can see this bike has many parts missing, we could point out that there are mud guards no exhaust, no electrics. But to put it simply, this bike isn't hiding anything. If you cant see it, it isn't there. There is no box of bits. We think the front end is off a Yamaha motocrosser, it is certainly Japanese not British. The rear sprocket on the back wheel is much wider than the front sprocket, suggesting the rear wheel is off something else too. BUT NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS......... The wheels look straight. The forks and yokes look straight. The frame looks to be straight and the oil tank sits in it nicely. The engine is is an 1969 unit, and cosmetically clean. It cranks over nicely, off the kick start and if you fiddle with the accessable front sprocket and gear lever, it will select gears. If you are ready for a new project and have been looking for a classic BSA B44 to restore then look no further – THIS ONE COULD BE YOURS!!!
