1950 bsa gold star model zb 32

BSA B32 Gold Star, 1949-57, 348cc, ohv single, 360lb, 65mpg, 85mph. Basically a B31 with more go, flashy bodywork and better brakes. The DB32 has a good duplex frame but the price is high and there are plenty to be had. Suffers from a 'cult status'. Overpriced due to the vast over-reputation which masks their charm from many new riders. This was a racing road bike and has good looks.

BSA Gold Star

The DB 32 represented the culmination in the development for the 350cc variant of the Gold Star and was only officially available as a catalogue model between 1955 and 1957, after that if a buyer wanted a 350cc machine they had to order a 500 and specify the 350cc engine as an option. As with previous variants , the DB was initially offered in Clubmans, scrambles, road racing and touring forms, although the tourer only lasted until the end of 1956. Developing between 30 and 32.5 bhp at 7500 rpm depending on the silencer or lack of, fitted, the revised engine design of the DB resulted in an increase in power output of about 2 bhp in comparison to the previous CB. The new engine, although visually similar to that of the CB incorporate a number of significant changes contributing to the increase in power output. A revised cylinder liner with thicker walls was adopted as was a revised crankshaft oil feed and the float chamber mounting became a vertical one. The cycle parts continued much as before although the front brake now incorporated six cooling holes with blanking discs that could be removed by the owner and the rear drum cooling fins were now part of an alloy sleeve. Perhaps the most significant amendment was that which occurred with the Clubmans "silencer", specially developed internals resulted in the "twittering" on the over run that is now regarded as a must for any Goldie.
