Back in the day when fenders were still made of chrome, the BSA Lightning was one of the fastest and hottest superbikes on the road, with a top speed of 104 mph. Selling for a mere $1305 in 1967, this bike is a good entry to classic cycling. Parts are still available, and it makes a great daily driver!
