Frame and engine numbers match. Clear title in hand. Runs fine. Paint is in very good shape. Chrome is mostly in very good shape (top fork nuts and gas cap have some light rust). Chrome on gas tank is in exceedingly good shape for a 47 year old bike. Bike is original and unrestored and is complete except for reflectors which mount under the tank (I have the original Lucas reflectors but can't find the mounts). Bike is in great shape for its age with correct patina. The original hi/lo beam/horn switch has been replaced with Triumph type switch (Lucas). This is the single carb model, which makes it easy to keep in tune. This model also has the good twin leading shoe (TLS) front brake, which was the best front brake BSA ever made (BSA modified it again in 1971, which was a step backwards). Oil has been changed regularly. You would have a hard time finding another A65 in this condition, as the (very) few that are out there have either been totally restored (and sell for $10k and up) or are in pretty rough shape, usually missing many parts (requiring $$$), and probably run poorly (if at all). This bike will turn heads as is, would hold its own in a local bike show, or would be an outstanding candidate for a full concourse restoration. I can arrange shipping if needed, or can deliver within 250 miles for $1.50 per mile. Email any questions. Thanks NADA guide values a bike like this at $6-8k, but I am selling for much less because I need to sell quickly
