Ideal for historic competitions

Registration No: Un-Registered
Frame No: Not Seen
MOT: Exempt

• A well-assembled 250cc special
• Ideal for historic trials and other competitions
• Seen to run very well

With learner motorcyclists recently restricted to 250cc machines, the 250 class suddenly became a very lucrative market. BSA’s 250cc C15 of 1958 was a popular but staid machine, so to better appeal to young tearaways, it introduced the sportier C25 Barracuda in 1967. Producing a claimed 26bhp with a 10:1 compression ratio high-performance camshaft and the newly-introduced Amal Concentric carburettor, it was a hit, and after being renamed the B25 Starfire in 1968, it continued to be produced up to 1971. A fibreglass fuel tank contributed to its lightness.

With trials being so popular in the 1960s, many production machines found themselves, at one stage or another, being turned into trials specials, and this c.1967 C25-engined machine is just such a creation. It is not known when it was assembled, but it is very ‘period’ and, from its condition, it does not appear to have seen a lot of action. We would therefore suggest that the new owner goes and hits the trials slopes and makes some history for it, because we have seen it run well and it should be competitive in historic events. The vendor praises its nimbleness. There is no documentation.
