1963 BSA Rocket Gold Star

Cover: While a BSA Gold Star is considered to be very collectible, its sister model, the twin-cylinder Rocket Gold Star is actually much more rare. The two machines are virtually the same frame and running gear, with the engine being the most notable difference. This month's cover bike is a wonderfully restored version of the "RGS."
