BSA was once the largest – and most successful – motorcycle company in the world. Many of the most famous ‘Beezas’ were powered by twin-cylinder engines, in both vee and parallel configurations.

During the interwar years BSA built a series of side-valve and overhead valve v-twins in 500, 750 and 1000cc. After the Second World War, BSA built a family of vertical twins in 500cc [A7] and 650cc [A10] guises. Their names bring back fond memories: Star Twin, Shooting star, Golden Flash, Road Rocket, Super Rocket and the magnificent Rocket Gold Star.

This is the very first book to deal exclusively with both the interwar v-twins and the postwar A7/10 series.

The model range covered every angle, from staid tourer, through rorty offroad racers to true road-burners. Though the bikes never seemed as popular as . contemporary Triumphs, the BSA twins commanded a loyal following that continues to this day.

This book has two parts. The first describes the design and development of the range from its inception in 1962 to the final demise of BSA in 1973. It covers the various models produced each year, and provides a detailed technical description of the basic design and the modifications and refinements made during the model's life. Comparisons with the technical specifications and details of the models main rival, the Triumph twin, are made to illustrate and explore the relative lack of commercial success of the BSA twins. The second part of the book looks at the practicalities of restoring and running a BSA unit twin, both by documenting owners' experiences of owning and riding these bikes in their heyday and by means of a full restoration of a typical bike, carried out specially for this book. The illustrated record of the restoration of a 1965 lightning identifies the pitfnlls that will confront the restorer and the practical modifications that can be made to provide a reliable mount for today's traffic conditions.
Illustrated throughout with photographs and diagrams, this is a complete and readable resource for all owners of BSA unit twins, and the perfect companion for anyone considering acquiring or restoring one of these classic British motorcycles.

The diminutive BSA Bantam is one of the icons of British motoring in the twentieth century. It was not fast, or glamorous, or particularly well built; but it was cheap, easy to ride and reasonably reliable.

It was an introduction to motoring for thousands of men and women in the fifties and sixties, and it still holds an important place in the memory of many. This book charts the huge success of the little bike from Birmingham that started its life in pre-war Germany and went on to conquer the world.

Description

Sometimes living under the shadow of the flashier, high profile Triumph Twins, the equivalent BSAs were just as numerous, and were exported to the USA and all over the world. BSA was often seen as a less glamourous marque than Triumph or Norton, associated more with commuting and sidecars than coffee bar cowboys, but that doesn't detract from its collectibility today, as the bikes have become highly usable, enjoyable classics. This book is a practical guide to buying one of these bikes today. and covers the complete range, from the very first 1946 500cc A7 to the final 1973 650cc A65s. Photos and a unique scoring system smoothly guide you through the buying process without making expensive mistakes. One hundred colour photos, useful appendices and expert advice mean that this book could save you thousands!
Synopsis

Sometimes living under the shadow of the flashier, high profile Triumph twins, the equivalent BSAs were just as numerous, exported to the USA and all over the world. BSA was often seen as a less glamourous marque than Triumph or Norton, more associated with commuting and sidecars rather than coffee bar cowboys. But that doesn't detract from its collectibility today, and the bikes built are highly usable, enjoyable classics. Unlike the many marque histories, this book is a practical guide to buying one of these bikes today. It covers the complete range, from the very first 1946 500cc A7 to the final 1973 650cc A65s. Chapters include what to look for (10min and 30min evaluations); spares prices; guides to auctions and paperwork; lists of useful contacts in the BSA community; and just as important, consideration of whether it‚s the right bike for you. One hundred colour photos, useful appendices and expert advice mean this book could save you 1000’s

Synopsis

There are lots of books about the BSA Bantam, about its history, performance, lineage and the minutae of its specification, but none of them will tell you what to look for when buying one secondhand. That's what this book is about – it aims at being a straightforward, practical guide to buying a used Bantam. It won't list all the correct colour combinations for each year, or analyse the bike's design philosophy, or consider its background as part of a troubled industry – there are excellent books listed at the end of this one which do all of that. But hopefully it will help you avoid buying a dud. Point by point, it takes the reader through everything that needs looking at when buying a Bantam, plus spares prices, which is the best model to buy for your needs, a look at auctions, restorations and paperwork. Over 23 years of production, the Bantam is for some the definitive postwar British lightweight, with all its strengths, weaknesses and character. Although there might seem to be a wide range of models and special editions, all are based around the same 123, 148 or 174cc two-stroke engine. There were plenty of changes over the years, but none of them altered the basic format of this classic British commuter. But aside from all the history, the Bantam remains a tremendous classic to own. It might not have the glamour of a big road-burning Bonneville or Gold Star, but the Bantam remains the most affordable route into classic bike ownership – better still, it's a lot of fun!
