1971 BSA Firebird Scrambler 650-SS - The Power and the Glory





The BSA 650s all have a bike-full of new features that were developed and proven in actual races in the U.S. (BSA won more AMA championship races in 1970 than any other bike). Some of the race-tested features on all three 650s include: New light-weight forks with 6 3/4 inch travel. New spine that holds and cools the oil and saves the weight of an oil tank. New double leading shoe brakes with independent external adjustments. But look at all three before you decide if you want to ride the Lightning, the Thunderbolt or the Firebird Scrambler.

Vintage BSA Firebird Scrambler 650-SS Advertisement includes specifications.
