I've seen a few Restored on CL around here but that one looked to be in pretty bad Condition for $1300. But i'm not familiar with the value of one in decent shape. I think the one that was completely restored they were asking like $10K for it.

More fun until your friends catch you riding it!!
Loud exhaust mod kit, LOL! Not loud enough if it still needs a bell to be noticed!
For Sale is this Adult size Schwinn motorized OCC Chopper Stingray Bicycle. Blue Bike Frame Supports a 24 X 3.45" Front Wheel and a 20 X 4 1/4" wide Fat Chopper rear wheel. Schwinn OCC Loud Exhaust mod kit and 80 cc motor with mount. Leather saddle bags and OCC handle bar bag. I have extra parts that came with the motor kit along with the original handle bars. This is an Adult size frame with 14" Ape hangers with a side mirror. Both front and back tires are new. All the bearings have been repacked and the chains are new. This engine gets 130 miles per gallon and can go 30+ MPH. This rescued bike is faded but still looks good. I am 6'2" and weigh 235. The size fits me fine. I would upgrade to a racing carburetor and change the bicycle pedals over to motorcycle pegs, but have run out of time and need the cash.[SIZE=10px]Roger

Not a cooking A65 lightning - one of the less adequate Brit parallel twins
Theres a whole industry still going today just to replace the crank bearings and..... the fillings in your teeth from the awful vibration
Unit construction BSA = Never worth serious money - absolute MAX I'd pay for an a65 is $7000 and that'd have to be pristine
Now a rocket Goldstar is worth 18K78 GS1000C- Now sporting 1100E suspension and numerous goodies
82 GS750E/82 1100E/ GSXR Frankenstein bike completed
83 1100E "rescue bike" saved from the barn
2008 Bking - Torque Torque Torque
Next project slowly coalescing

Simple rules for Brit bikes
BSA Pre unit twins and singles - good ..... Post unit Nope..... oil in frame AVOID
Triumph pre or post unit twins under 650CC - good - later oil in frame (post 71) and 750CC twins .... not so much
Norton - singles great, twins up to the dominator 88 good ... the rest - If its got a featherbed frame you can at least put a triumph engine in !!
Vincent - Just buy it
AJS/Matchless - see BSA
Ariel - Singles good
Royal enfield - NOOOOOOOO
Panther - gotta be a weirdo to buy
Velocette - Just buy it

"Velocette - Just buy it"
My nephew was doing a roof for an old woman who had the 500cc version in the garage. Trans was removed by her late husband who then died when the bike was only a year or two old. She did not care what it might be worth, it was in her way. She told him he could have it for 50 bucks, and she had the title. Baxter in Marne, Iowa gave him 1800 bucks for it with only a glance at it.
