Vehicle Description BSA Gold Star NorStar Norton/BSA Cafe RacerThis is a singularly spectacular NorStar-a BSA Gold Star in a Norton Featherbed frame.
It is indeed unique and festooned with the finest features of the classic motorcycle world.
A pro-built custom 611cc BSA Gold Star motor, crafted by a leading British expert, is housed in a Manx-type Norton Featherbed frame, modified specifically for the Goldie mill.
A Manx front fork (built to modern standards) braces the most vaunted stopper of all time, a 250mm four-leading-shoe (double-sided) alloy Fontana drum brake.
In the rear, a Manx-type conical hub and brake complete the pukka specifications and look.
The gorgeous fuel and oil tank are handmade aluminium specials made by Barnett's of Ireland.
A few of the goodies include a Hayward belt primary drive and clutch, a custom BSA/Triumph 5-speed gearbox, a high-output Alton 12v alternator, and much more.
This ultimate cafe racer was built in 2004 by Dave Smith Classic Motorcycles for the current (and only) owner.
On display most of the time, only 85 miles have been put on the machine since it was assembled, so it is still almost new throughout.
