The BSA is historically a very interesting machine finishing production in 1958.

This was a seminal point in the history of motorcycling, marking the moment when the Japanese manufacturers first began to flex their muscles on the world stage. The contrast between the giant BSA company, and its Japanese rivals, was stark.

These great old bikes are nowadays becoming hard to come by and worth a few quid. BSA's side valve 250 probably brought two-wheeled travel to many impecunious people, and served as a safe learner's machine for young riders destined to get involved with more exciting machinery.
