The BSA B40 was a series of 350cc (21 cu in) unit construction single-cylinder OHV four-stroke motorcycles made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company. Developed from the BSA C15, the retailed machines were produced between 1961 and 1967 for civilian use. Military versions were manufactured from 1967 to 1970. Around 14,000 machines were built in total. As a reaction to the emergence of high-tech, high performance Honda lightweights that were starting to appear (Mike Hailwood had won the 1961 Lightweight TT on a DOHC, twin-cylinder, 125 cc machine), BSA increased the performance its lightweight by boring the C15 out to 350cc.
This BSA B40 ‘scrambler’ has formed part of a collection of motorcycles. An ideal motorcycle for pre ‘65 events throughout the country, it was said to have last been run about 12 months ago and has been on display since. Restored approximately 8 years ago and not used much since its completion, it will now need the usual checks before use.
