Hiring Willie Nelson's accountant might have been a mistake.

Yeah , I doubt they survive. I hear BSA is doing bad in UK too. An up note Honda is building a 500 single standard , but not yet on track to come stateside. 2026 maybe. Tough market that’s for sure. Possibly some good deals from KTM if you like KTMs.

Trade-in values of year old BSA's are apparently really low.
re: KTM. After the first billion $ loss, normal people would stop doing ........Doh!

Yeah BSA won’t survive if they can’t fix production woes. Manufacturing is in India and was supposed to move to UK in time. They are good looking bikes with several models & colors. Dependability is paramount , especially when Honda is gearing up for a 500 single. Honda can put the final nail in BSAs coffin if they had maybe a Honda GB 650 single standard/cafe. That’s why I’m building my old BSA cause the new BSA will most likely never be sold here , no quality Americans won’t buy them ! But are ready for good dependable big single from Honda. Almost like back in the 70s. If I lived in UK I would be buying a bunch of those worth almost nothing BSAs and start building.

I'd think any bike someone traded after just a year didn't make them happy.

Honda has my interest on this one ! I could get a .410cc kit(72mm to 78mm) for my 350cc RE. but I may want a new bike in a couple of years ?

IMHO , It's not all about HP .
