The ultimate road-going Gold Star, the DBD34 first appeared in 1956 when the famous RRT2 close-ratio gearbox and 190mm front brake became standard equipment. From then on BSA's perennially popular sporting single changed little until its much-lamented demise in 1963. Today, the Gold Star remains one of the most highly sought after of post-war British motorcycles and is supported by a most enthusiastic owners' club.
If this replica Gold Star were the genuine article its frame number would be prefixed 'CB32' but it is not. Furthermore, the engine and gearbox numbers are not factory stampings, confirming the machine's 'replica' status, while although the registration 'UJH 569' was issued in 1955, the frame is of circa 1961 type. In short: this motorcycle incorporates parts from various different models and periods. Sold strictly as viewed, the machine is offered with a V5C Registration Certificate.
