BSA revamped its single-cylinder range for 1967, the new B25 Starfire and C25 Barracuda models retaining the same basic engine layout as the outgoing C15, but with a sturdier Victor-type crankcase assembly and a new 'square-finned' alloy cylinder barrel, both developments pioneered on the works scramblers. Inside, there was a stronger one-piece forged crankshaft that necessitated the use of a shell-type split big-end bearing, an arrangement somewhat unusual for a single. An otherwise identical 441cc version was introduced simultaneously, at first under the Victor Roadster name and from 1968 onwards as the Shooting Star. Imported from the USA, this rare BSA single was purchased from GD Classic Bikes Ltd on 22nd October 2017 (receipt on file). The machine is incomplete (the left side-panel and chain guard are missing) and its mechanical condition is not known. Offered for restoration and sold strictly as viewed, it comes with a NOVA confirmation letter and a US registration document.
