BSA Bantam D1 description

Classic 1950s BSA Bantam D1 Motorbike.  This was imported from the UK in 2000 and has a clear Wisconsin Classic plate title.   Last ran in 2013, now in dry storage. Only known issue is the kick starter spring needs adjusting and will need a new 6volt battery.  

These were 'spoils of war'. Originally a German DKW design, copied by BSA and Harley as the Hummer in the late 1940s as a light post war motorbike. 

This bike was based in London and used by HM Government as a messenger bike.  Restored and shipped to the US.

Bantam's are 2 stroke (cycle) and need a fuel oil mixture.  The gas tank as a measuring cylinder in the cap for the oil.   

Great condition but sold as is.   Contact me with any pre purchase questions.  Cash or cleared cheque on collection in central Wisconsin.  NO PAYPAL.

Man Builds Sidecar from Bathtub

Back in 1997, an unusual motorcycle appeared on the front page of the Bristol Evening Post. Unable to afford a costly traditional sidecar, bus driver Alan Iles of Bedminster opted to build his own, using a bathtub. Twelve years later, the 1959 650cc BSA is still going and has been ridden all over Europe to help raise money for Cancer research and various charities, for which he has raised thousands of British pounds.

At last we have a brand new model of the beloved brand: after the success of Royal Enfield and Jawa, the British BSA has returned to service. The single-cylinder classic Gold Star will enter the European market - a spiritual successor to the original company's lineup, but with a completely modern filling. The novelty is equipped with a single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, two overhead camshafts and 4 valves per cylinder, a working volume of 652 cm3.

The 1967 BSA Royal Star 650 has a special place in the heart of the Piano Man, Billy Joel — it was the first motorcycle he ever had. As time went on and Joel’s career blossomed, the love for motorcycles only grew. In fact, Joel even has his own motorcycle shop.
