BSA revamped its unitary construction singles range for 1967; the new B25 Starfire and C25 Barracuda models retaining the same basic engine layout as the outgoing C15 but with a stronger Victor-type crankcase assembly and new 'square-fin' alloy cylinder barrel. Inside, there was a stronger one-piece forged crankshaft and, somewhat unusually for a single, a split shell-type big-end bearing. Currently displaying an odometer reading of 4,694 miles (unwarranted), this B25 has belonged to the elderly owner since 1978. The machine's mechanical condition and completeness are not known and thus it is sold strictly as viewed (note the US-specification tail lamp assembly). A most rewarding project that will require restoration before further use, the machine comes with an old V5 document; however, the Vehicle Registration Number has lapsed from the DVLA/HPI database. Accordingly, the buyer will need to contact the DVLA to re-register this motorcycle. Offered with workshop manuals.
