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. The front suspension of all D1's possessed no damping and resulted in a bouncy ride quality.
Recommissioned in current ownership, this Bantam has been the subject of some engine improvements, the engine having previously been rebored. Offered from a private collection, it is accompanied by a Brown log book, original instruction manual and service sheets and a collection of old MOT certificates.
