Modified 1959 BSA Gold Star

This distinctive 1959 BSA Gold Star motorcycle, manufactured in the era of classic British bikes, showcases a unique blend of originality and modern customization. Originally built for dirt track races at Illinois' Peoria Speedway under its previous owner, this Gold Star bears the scars of its racing past while receiving a comprehensive rebuild over a decade ago. The 499cc OHV four-stroke single engine and four-speed transmission were both meticulously restored, accompanied by upgrades such as 19" wire-spoke wheels, Koni shocks, and a magdyno, making it a compelling blend of vintage style and modern performance. Now actively listed for sale with an opening bid of $2,900, this modified Gold Star resides in Elgin, Illinois, and holds the promise of both nostalgic riding excitement and potential competitive prowess on the track.
