1967 BSA Lightning

March 1, 2010 12:00 AM

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!
