Description
It was delivered to its first and only user in June 1963. He was a conscientious motorcyclist, rode a lot, but also took care of his bike accordingly. The odometer currently reads 81147 km. The accompanying spare parts inventory is large and the special tools are as useful as they are exclusive. The current owner has kept his spouse's BSA in a warm cellar and, in recent years, in a warm garage. Note also the owner's tribute to his spouse, with the neatly painted name of the bike, placed on the left side panel.

Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The bike has been restarted after a twenty-year hiatus, after extensive cleaning of around twenty-year-old fuel residues. Carburetors, lines, intake, exhaust and electrics fixed and adjusted . The clutch, gears, and brakes all operate properly. Fuel system overhaul is still required, including new fuel hoses and some fine tuning.
-
Interior condition
An older tear in the seat has long since been repaired and seems to hold up well, but is still visible.
-
Exterior condition
Well-maintained and carefully handled. The small, self-designed handlebar fairing can easily be restored to the original headlight holder, and all original parts are still available.
-
General condition
Exciting English bike with a conscientious owner in very nice and well-preserved condition. There is a lot of interesting history to dig into for a new owner.

Facts about the model
BSA A10 Super Rocket tillverkades av Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) mellan 1958 och 1963. Den var en uppdatering av BSA A7-modellen, som hade funnits sedan 1946.
A10 Super Rocket hade en 650-kubiks parallelltwin och var en av BSA:s mest kraftfulla motorcyklar vid den här tiden. Den hade också en högre topphastighet än många av sina konkurrenter, vilket gjorde cykeln till ett populärt val för både bana och sportiga ambitioner på vägen. Under produktionsåren förändrades designen och prestandan av A10 Super Rocket gradvis. Till exempel fick den en ny förgasare och en högre kompression för att öka effekten i början av sextiotalet. Men trots dessa förbättringar kunde BSA inte hålla jämna steg med sina konkurrenter från Japan, och försäljningen av A10 Super Rocket sjönk successivt.
BSA A10 Super Rocket var ändå en viktig modell för BSA och för motorcykelindustrin som helhet. Den visade att brittiska motorcykeltillverkare kunde producera högpresterande motorcyklar som kunde mäta sig med de japanska modellerna som började dominera marknaden under sextiotalet. Idag är BSA A10 Super Rocket en eftertraktad klassiker bland samlare och entusiaster.
