The BSA Bantam is a two-stroke unit construction motorcycle that was produced by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) from 1948 (as a 125cc) until 1971 (as a 175cc). Exact production figures are unknown, but it was over 250,000 and some estimates place the number closer to half a million. The D1 (the original model) 125cc was available initially only with a rigid rear suspension, although within three years the range was enhanced to include an optional plunger rear suspension.

Finished in a Dark Red, this is a nicely restored Bantam, and an older restoration by a previous owner. Displaying c.47,112 miles on the speedo, the vendor reports the machine is in ‘good running order’, having been in the ownership of the vendor since 2013. First registered in July of 1958 with ‘SPY 809’, the Bantam now wears ‘950 XUH’. Paperwork on file includes a pre-restoration photograph and a note suggesting that the Bantam was purchased new by a midwife! The vendor advises that ‘XUH’ would require a check over before use. A good opportunity to acquire a very nice example of the renowned BSA lightweight.
