The BSA A65R Rocket was one of a series of unit construction twin cylinder Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) motorcycles made in the 1960s. A version branded as the A65 'Thunderbolt Rocket' was aimed at the US market.[2] The A65R Rocket was produced from 1964 but was stopped in 1965 when all development at BSA was halted by financial difficulties.[3]
