1969 BSA 247cc B25 Starfire Frame no. GC18794 B25S Engine no. GC18794 B25S

1969 BSA 247cc B25 Starfire Registration no. EOS 692G Frame no. GC18794 B25S Engine no. GC18794 B25S BSA revamped its unitary construction singles range for 1967, the new B25 Starfire and C25 Barracuda models retaining the same basic engine layout as the outgoing C15 but with a stronger Victor-type crankcase assembly and new 'square-fin' alloy cylinder barrel. Inside, there was a stronger one-piece forged crankshaft and, somewhat unusually for a single, a split shell-type big-end bearing. The engine in its various capacities continued in production until the collapse of BSA-Triumph in 1972. Unfortunately nothing is known of this Starfire's history prior to its acquisition by the vendor in April 2008, apart from the identity of previous owners listed on the V5/V5C. Dry stored since acquisition, the machine will require recommissioning to a greater or lesser extent before returning to the road and thus is sold strictly as viewed (the engine does not turn over). Accompanying documentation consists of a V5C, a V5, and three old MoTs (most recent expired 2003).
