Birmingham Small Arms was established in 1861 and, as the name suggests, manufactured weapons. Around the turn of the century, they started producing bicycles progressing onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to become one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles until its demise in the early 1970s. The B25 range was the last in a long line of ‘learner legal’ 250s offered by BSA, with a tried and tested single-cylinder OHV engine developing around 20bhp. The B25 has become a popular model for conversion into lightweight twin-shock trials bikes over the years. This B25 appears to have started life in December 1969 as a Fleetstar model, according to the engine and frame numbers. It is thought that only 449 models were produced, with over half of these going to the police and this example shows its one previous owner as being the Cumbria Constabulary. Part of a deceased estate and kept an enthusiast's small private collection since 1979, it has been converted into trials specification at some point in its life. It now sports a lightweight alloy fuel tank, single-seat, alloy mudguards and an upswept exhaust with all unnecessary items stripped off. Not run for several years, it will need recommissioning before use and is offered with a current V5C.
