Here’s a 1969 BSA A75R Rocket 3 with original paint and low miles. Yes the paint is faded, but it’s a great base for a full restoration and it starts, runs and rides as is. The bike was in storage since 2001, but the seller says with a new battery and gas it fired right up.

Throttle cable needs to be repaired and a few minor fixes are in order, but as it is, you have a complete and running Rocket 3, it even has the original tool roll!

The original paint is faded, but this BSA is an unmolested survivor that's complete and running!

As noted on an earlier listing, there’s a difference of opinion about whether bikes like this should be restored to perfection or ridden as intended, but either way, this BSA gives you a great base to work from, no missing pieces that are impossible to locate, it’s all here.
