Summary
This 1966 BSA Lightning 650 has notable provenance, reportedly acquired by Guns N’ Roses guitarist Richard Fortus from a member of the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. The 654cc A65 parallel twin engine was overhauled circa 2016 and is still within break-in mileage, featuring rebuilt carburetors and a four-speed manual transmission. The bike is finished in black with chrome accents, though it exhibits some cosmetic wear including abrasions, paint chips, and pitted chrome.
