Makes me nostalgic. I got a BSA 250 side valve with distributor and she runs like a dream. Silent as ever on low revs. The 250's were very reliable bikes. Great job.
Great resto, looks and sounds fab, well done, what's next. I have just bought one C11 1953 total basket case. Lots of spares with it. Going to be my winter project.
@@paulmeads802 I will do Paul, He is 73. if you look at my other Video, "Now and Then" you will see the bike before he pulled it apart in the 80's, that's how it sat in the shed until 3 years ago. ruclips.net/video/HHkPW6Y4lTM/видео.html
I got a 1950 C11 with rigid rear. My tank is all black, but I think your's is a new chrome/green one from India. Mine has a faulty transistor regulator, which is giving too much charge to the battery. So am repairing that this week. Does your's have the 20 inch wheels, the tyres are getting to be rare and expensive these days.
you are correct with the tank, ( which I havent had any issues with) and the wheels are 20 inch which it came out with along with a 4sp gear box. Im sure you will get yours sorted and have great fun riding it.
I know that things have to settle down with a rebuild, but the Carburettor settings are way out. It should tick over at easily half that speed, and after opening the throttle, then closing it- it should die down very quickly, but it's not in its current setting.
Hi Fantastic video i am thinking of buying one to ride to work in the warmer weather are they any good on the highway i live 15 ks from work what a rough price for a restored one. Thank you
Thank you. Speed will depend on rider weight and the gear box. 3 or 4 speed. My father is approx 80kg and can sit on 80kph with a 4sp box. Cost will also depend on the quality on the restore. Hope this helps.
@@davidburke9427 Thank you very much yes it has the 4-speed gearbox the model is BSA C11G 1955 my neighbour has a restored one in excellent condition he wants $7000
No, I had a 1952 4 speed Springer like that one, - they were known as the C11 de Luxe. The tank is very nice but off an older model, and it should have a dualseat, and as stated elsewhere, the rear light is nothing like the original. A very handsome restoration anyway.
Beautiful bike, I had one back in the 70s in the fields and than on the road! Love it!
Thank you. They are a sweet
Thing.
C11 my first bike. I used to ride it to school back in 1970
Stunning looking bike so full of character nice work

paul meads thanks Paul. I thinks that it for my farther at the moment. He just wants to ride it again now.
Hi David, my regards to you farther, tell him from me, ride safe and enjoy. Guess he is around my age (65)

My first bike was exactly the same model I bought at 14 years old and used to ride to school. In 1970 it wasn't as pretty as this gem
That’s great.
You should have see this before their restro.
Have a look at my before and after video.
What a beautiful bike
3rd kick loved it but I
Did smile , as a guy
How rides British
When it wouldn't start
I laughed " been there"
"Done that"
Beautiful bike..this bike for sale??

I want spares for this c 11. Where to get.

Oh Australia I guess. Nice bike mate!
Yes Australia.
If you'd been wearing socks with your sandals it would have started first kick. I had the C12 back in 1967, a great little bike.
Thanks Peter.
In Oz they are called Crocs, bit different to sandals. But yes, socks with sandals makes every situation better.

Thanks for that, since the video a few years ago, it is going well and have put plenty of miles on her now.

This motorcycle is amazing. The tail light is not the Lucas type... I love it. Where I can buy like that One?
Thank you, the tail light come with the bike some 35yrs ago when my farther got it. We think it’s from an early pick up truck.
@@davidburke9427 Hi David, thank you. The tail light looks great even if belongs an old Pickup and gives some charm on this bike.
mine has sat in the shed for 45 years C11G
Time to get it out and ride again.
No, sounds like timing gears knocking.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🇧🇷
I've also got a c11 1952 but it don't look like yours!

If you wore some proper shoes it would start easier🙄
Engine to noisy
Yes. We blow a head gasket.
