Rocket Goldstar – one of the British motorcycle industry’s sweetest machines is the last iteration of their pre-unit twins. Basically a tuned A10 650 engine with a complete accompaniment of Goldstar goodies: such as the alloy rimmed wheels; rear-sets, and clip-ons from Eddie Dow; a swooping siamese exhaust; close ratio RRT2 gearbox to eke our a hearty 50bhp. All-in-all a Motorcycle capable in both looks and speedy roadworthyness. Wish I still had mine…

I am impressed you did have one.!
So few were made, and they were NEVER cheap at any time in my memory. Today.. more than the price here of a really sweet Gold Star.
Enjoy your day.

Bought for $1000 in a very sorry state back in 2002. All correct parts where it mattered. Fettled up and sold for $10k a couple of years later. I had no where to store it properly then, also insurance was a bit dodgy then. I’ll email a photo.
