Peter May's Review of BSA A65 Oil In Frame Lightning 650cc

- Build quality
The BSA A65 Oil in Frame Lightning 650cc is the last in the A65 engine line with all the developments. Good handling & aluminum conical hubs with a twin leading shoe front break with great looks & the throaty roar of a Brit twin. However, bronze bush for the timing side crank bearing, overheats due to the oil filler cap not being exposed to an airflow. Small petrol tank limiting range, vibrates like a demented washing machine.
