About the same for a BSA B50 too ;)
Sorry Dave :D Wondering if BSA did ever make a 50cc? 0r were the Bantams the smallest.
-
They did make a kids 50cc rev and go right towards the end.
Mate has a B50 (I think it's a T) and a 75CCM that will be for sale shortly. No idea of spec, condition etc, but definitely for sale. In the UK, but can ship no problem

This is my BSA B50, which I have just Bought.

If you get the chance to ride a well set up B50, that will be the end of you, you won`t want anything else.

You should get one landed here for around 5k-6k. I've seen a couple come into the country for under 5k in the last year.

Up for auction is a super clean BSA 500MX. It is a very low hour bike that runs perfectly. The engine appears to have never been touched and it is still wearing it's original Dunlop tires. The only modifications are Preston Petty fenders and Uni levers that were installed when the bike was new. The clear coating is coming off the rear hub and there are a few minor scratches. Please look at the pictures to see how truly nice this bike is. I doubt there is one with lower time for sale right now. The bike is 100% ready to ride with fresh oils and a clean air filter. The engine and frame numbers match along with the original vin sticker. I can have the bike delivered free of charge to Las Vegas or any where along 287 to Amarillo or I40 to Kingman Az. The truck will be leaving 1-7-14 from Dallas and will be going non stop to Las Vegas. You must be able to meet on the highway whenever the truck comes through no exceptions. Buyer responsible for shipping otherwise. Please check my other auctions to see a few more bikes available. This bike will be sold on a BILL OF SALE ONLY and is for sale locally. Once again, no title, bill of sale only. The second bike shown is also a matching number B50 with Works shocks, Bultaco forks with tweek bar and aluminum # plates. This auction is for the stock bike only. Please call 972`249`8102 if you have any questions.

The yellow tanker is a 1972 model, nice bike.

Dave when you sell this what will be the price?
Firko this is for my mate who lives at Brookvale who already has an unbelievable collection he was interested in the one on ebay but thought he see if there is a local one. The Ebay is on the money you think?
-

You got that right Dave. They are such a fun bike to ride. The power is so smooth but they go like the clappers when you twist the right hand ;D
-
The Ebay is on the money you think?
Yeah Mick, the yellow one on eBay is on the low side moneywise at the moment but it hasn't reached reserve and there are 13 bids so far. I predict it'll fly off the page. There was a very clean B50 one on vft.org a couple of months ago for under 3k.
barry? patterson- lismore guy? let a few of us ride his beautiful B50 mx
Barry was/is a great bloke who had to cut his VMX activities short because of back problems. He had an interesting trade as a copper shingle roof restorer, doing old churches and stately mansions. You'd think there wasn't much of that kind of work but I remember him telling me he was the only bloke in Oz doing it and that he was booked out for the next couple of years. I rode his B50 at Dargle and it shocked me just how quick it was. It was decidedly quicker than Jonesy's CCM. Off memory it was a US import and had a 580 kit, Carillo rod, JE or Venolia piston and Megacycle flat track cam. It had Ceriani forks as well, a really well set up bike, later owned by Gavin Martini and it's now possibly living in NZ.

The one on ebay is a trail model, but at the end of day its still a b50, $5450, still a good buy.
I made the mistake selling my Two 71 model B50 with the slim line tank, one was purple strip and the other with a black strip, which only came out for one years, sorry shakwell, i will not be selling this one. my friend has a beautiful B50, and to buy that bike you would pay between $10.500 to $12,000 for it. Get your mate to sell you one, he may even have one of mine.

Dave, even though I run the risk of Mr Grumpy accusing me of picking on you, I can't let it go without telling you that the bike is not a trail model but is indeed a 1973 model B50MX, the last model before they went tits up.
Here's one still with the fugly exhaust the emission Nazis imposed on them and a '73 B50T for comparison.

sorry shakwell, i will not be selling this one
Dave you say that like you mean it, Ill be happy if it does not come for sale Dave and it's a keeper, but just in-case you decide to sell it next month let me know.
-
Mark I am talking about the the blue tank b50 T on ebay.com.au, Just checked australian ebay, it must have been sold, I think your yellow tank mx is a 72 model.
1970 B50 ???
1971 B50 Purple tank
1972 B50 yellow Tank
1973 b50 Black tank
I may have my dates and colours wrong. but i do know that the slim line tank was only made for one year.

Sorry Dave, it's hard for an old bloke like me to keep up. I didn't see any reference to a B50T for sale in this thread so I naturally assumed you meant the yellow bike we've been talking about. According to my information (b50.org)the B50MX tank colour go's like so.......
1970....No B50's produced.
1971....black stripe
1972....purple stripe
1973....yellow stripe
1974.. blue flash....(Triumph TR5MX)

track for a ride/race . barry? patterson- lismore guy? let a few of us ride his beautiful B50 mx, what an impressive machine,did you ride it ,have you ridden one? why a B50? cheers grant
I remember that day Grant I think we had even more fun with the canceled racing just play racing out at Copeton dam. Barry was letting a few of us do some laps on the grass track. Very nice bike and I think he changed it's colour a few times. He sold it during his messy divorce despite us pleading with him not to. And yes he always regretted it.Not only did we lose a great bike from the VMX scene we also lost Barry. The B50 is for a friend not for myself. I'm thinking of something pre 65 for next year thou , some British iron.
-
sorry shakwell, i will not be selling this one
Seem's as its nearly a new year I wont mention the word Keeper
There was a really good photo of Dave jumping his old B50 some where.
-
With respect to whoever owns that Matchless, it's the fugliest thing I've seen since Jimmy Saville.
-
think your'e being too kind there Firko :o,but i do like the candlesticks on the back,Daves referring to that blue B50 Trail that pops up now & again on e bay,Bob at Jim Eades Classic spares has it,if it hasn't been sold,i had a purple B50SS in 73 with the large tank,went into the shop to buy the beezer triple,walked out with the B50 instead,fugg knows what i was thinking ::), :P

I really do dislike those huge US square number plates. They make the old beeza look HUGE...
-
i will be removing my square number plates, try and find round ones to suit.

But is he an honest, kind, well mannered, respectable pillar of the community you would readily do business with Mick? ;)
Just like this quality manufacturer ... http://classic-motorcycle-fiberglass.com/ Cheers Tim754
