The BSA Lightning Clubman was a 650 cc production racing motorcycle that BSA built in Birmingham between 1964 and 1965, developed from the Lightning. It was finished in gold and black and fitted with drop handlebars, rear set footrests, a cranked kick start, twin carburettors, a siamesed two into one exhaust, a single seat and close ratio gears. Only about 200 were made, so originals are now sought after and enthusiasts build replicas from the Lightning. Mike Hailwood won the 1965 Hutchinson 100 production race at Silverstone on one in heavy rain, beating the Triumph Bonnevilles, and the Spitfire replaced it as BSA's top performer in 1966.
