Id be surprised if anybody ever did a trial on one!

B44 Victor Early one as its round barreled later ones had square barrel.

I had a heavily modified pre 65 scrambler based on this that ran on methanol and it was a bit of a handful, fore runner of the B50 that followed it and ultimately morphed into CCM.

Check out Victor GP as well, Jeff Smith did well with them.

This brochure, dated November 1965, describes a Victor Enduro trials.

The bike in the picture is a Comerfords conversion of a B44 Victor Enduro for trials use. It was featured in the press when new (hence the pic) but not sure how many they made. BSA didn't produce an over the counter B44 trials model.

Hello
I have a similar bike, mine is a B44E Enduro 1966, far as I know it was only made for that year and for the USA market(became Victor Special 67-70 square barrel) it looks almost the same except for the tank which maybe from a Scrambler Victor GP.
Can send more pics if you need.
Cheers John
