cycle acclaimed in HOT ROD magazine as

ROD!” See how well it handles at any speed.

miles per hour than you’ll ever need. Feel the
powerful brakes that give you the confidence
to handle any emergency.
Watch the new 9,000 r.p.m. tachometer on the
1965 BSA LIGHTNING Rocket as you rev up
its newly designed crankshaft forged of molyb-
denum superstrength steel. You get even more
power from new type cam ground pistons and
opened-out intake ports. Quicker acceleration
comes from an improved gear change mecha-
nism and new faster gear ratios.
Fully chromed fenders, tank sides, and many
other parts in chrome or polished alloy com-
pliment the new blazing metallic red finish on
tank top and new-form side nacelle panels.
Surely you know by now that this motorcycle
is not for the meek. It’s a real fire-eater, but
with the road manners and handling of a
gentleman. The 1965 BSA LIGHTNING
Rocket—a man’s motorcycle. Your BSA dealer
will gladly show you what we mean.
