The last large unit-construction single from Birmingham Small Arms, the BSA Victor Trail was specifically designed for the US, which was experiencing a surge in the popularity of trail riding. BSA took parts that they were using in the Street Scrambler and Moto Cross versions of the B50T to create the Victor Trail.
The engine was a 499cc single that produced 34 horsepower and 28 pound-feet of torque. It had a four-speed transmission and BSA advertised it as the world’s first 500cc trail bike. It had new telescopic front forks, 3-way adjustable Girling shocks, double shoe brakes, and an oil-in-frame design.
This specific BSA Victor Trail (VIN: HE15247) has been dry stored since 1986. There’s some pitting and rust, and while it’s in ‘great condition’ the seller says it will need a full restoration.
