skyrider Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 it looks like a 650 a10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Swinging arm suspension was introduced to the A10 series in 1954 . The bike in the picture has plunger suspension . Could be an A10 or an A7 ( 650 or 500 ) but there isn't enough detail and both bikes were externally very similar . You won't be able to work out the year from the number plate because the Year Suffix was not introduced until 1963 . Not particularly helpful I'm afraid .

raesewell Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Try sending the picture to the National Motorcycle Museum, if they can't identify it nobody can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raesewell Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 You might have to scan the photo at a higher resolution for more detail for it to be identified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Thanks very much raesewell for the tip to ask NMM - I did just that and got a reply within the hour - Bike is identified as a 1951 or 52 BSA A7 500cc twin.Thanks again to all who replied.
