BSA B44 Shooting Star

[3] A weak point of the BSA 250 and most 350 unit singles were the big end bearing and timing side crank bush.

In 1965 an off-road motocross BSA B44 named the ‘’Victor’’ was launched at the Earls Court Show.

[citation needed] The good availability of spare parts and the relative simplicity of the single-cylinder engine meant that the surviving examples are easily restored to as-new condition.

[5] On the original 1969 footage of the Woodstock Concert, producer Michael Lang is seen riding the off-road version, the BSA Victor Special, motorcycle across the pastures.

In 1968, an 8-inch front brake was introduced, and from 1968, US versions came with higher handlebars and reflectors both beneath the tank and on either side of the tail light.
