About this model
About the Bsa C 15
The BSA C15 is an air-cooled 250 cc single-cylinder four-stroke produced by BSA from 1959 to 1967 as the entry-level model in the BSA lineup. The engine was a practical and affordable commuter and all-round machine, also used for light trail riding and learner training. With approximately 15 hp and a weight below 150 kg, the C15 is light and easy to handle.
The BSA C15 appeals to beginner riders and smaller-bike collectors. It is suitable for novices thanks to its low weight, upright seating, and manageable power output. Short-distance commuting is well within its capabilities, though the engine is prone to wear under heavy use. Comparable models include the Triumph Tiger Cub and the AJS Model 14.

Before you buy
What to check before buying
- Check piston rings and cylinder bore for wear; the 250 cc single-cylinder is prone to blue smoke at high mileage.
- Inspect the Amal carburettor for aging float needle and jets; original Amal parts are partially still available through specialists.
- Check the gearbox for difficult gear changes; BSA gearboxes of this era are prone to gear tooth wear.
- Look for oil leaks at the crankcase and engine exterior; gasket deterioration is endemic at this age.
- Inspect the wiring harness and Lucas magneto for deterioration; failed electrics are the most common cause of running problems.
