Probably the most sought after models produced by BSA are the Gold Star range of 350 and 500cc singles and the rare Rocket Gold Star 650cc twin of the late 50s early 60s. This classic 1958 DBD34 was tested at the factory on the 24th April 1958 and despatched to dealers Comerfords of Thames Ditton on the 8th May, being first registered for the road a couple of weeks later, built to Clubman specification, fitted with an Amal GP carburettor
The 500 cc DBD34 was introduced in 1956, with clip-on handlebars, the same big finned alloy engine with a newly designed head,38 mm ( 1 1/2" ) bell-mouth Amal carburettor and swept-back exhaust. The DBD34 had a 110 mph (180 km/h) top speed. The Gold Star dominated the Isle of Man Clubmans TT that year. Later models had an ultra close-ratio gearbox (RRT2) with a very high first gear, enabling 60 mph (97 km/h) before changing up to a second. Amongst the options available were a tachometer and a 190mm full-width front brake that gave a larger lining area than the standard 8" single-sided unit
This bike was offered at the British Motorcycle Museums, H + H Auction 6th April 2022 selling for £ 14,375 (including buyers premium)

The very bike that took Barry Sheene to his first 500cc motorcycle Grand Prix victory. Shot in a secret location whilst on loan to Fast Bikes magazine. The red bike behind is a legend too - a genuine Randy Mamola Cagiva!
Thanks to Fort for letting me borrow his Canon G11 G10.

Best viewed Large. Just a taster plenty more to sort out. I think the weather forecast put a lot of riders off But it was a fabulous Morning session for those that made the effort...
