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 D1s possessed no damping and resulted in a bouncy ride quality.

On offer is a 1951 BSA Bantam D1. The Bantam has had some work carried out in recent years to make it roadworthy. Purchased by the late vendor to form part of his collection, sadly there is not much known about the machine's history, although it's offered at the sale with a current V5C and at 'no reserve'. The BSA will need to usual checks before placing it back on the road.
