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.

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

There’s something distinctly cool about old British motorcycles. From the wire wheels, the minimal bodywork, and the exposed engines which give off a thunderous bark, I’ve always loved looking at old Triumphs, BSAs and the like from the 60s.  I’ve never owned one though. The reason is simple: old British bikes are needy little maintenance machines notorious for the odd oil leak.

The oil on canvas piece is 36” x 60”. In addition to these two originals, some of Carter’s Giclee prints will be available.

The revived BSA brand showed its first Gold Star model

Fri, 04 Mar 2022

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.
