About the BSA A10 Rocket Gold Star
The BSA Rocket Gold Star was a BSA motorcycle included in the final
range of A10 twins, using a tuned A10 Super Rocket engine in the
double-downtube Gold Star frame.
Launched in February 1962, the total BSA Rocket Gold Star
production was 1,584 bikes, of which 272 were off-road scramblers.
The later 9:1 compression Super Rocket engine was used with a
Spitfire camshaft and an Amal Monobloc carburettor gave 46 bhp (34
kW) as standard. Options such as Siamesed exhaust pipes and a
close-ratio RRT2 gearbox could increase this to 50 bhp (37 kW) and
add 30% to the price.
Rocket Gold Star production ended in 1963 due to the development of
new unit construction successors, designated as A65 in the 650 cc
capacity.
