BSA

BSA (Birmingham Small Arms) is one of the most iconic British motorcycle marques, founded in 1910 in Birmingham. The brand grew into the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer in the 1940s and 1950s. Signature models include the BSA Gold Star, A10, and Bantam, simple, robust British singles and twins that shaped generations of riders. After a collapse in the 1970s, the brand was revived; the modern BSA Gold Star, launched in 2021, is a retro 652cc single-cylinder motorcycle produced in India.

In the Dutch used-motorcycle market, BSAs are predominantly classics from the 1950s to 1970s. These machines are sought after by enthusiasts and club riders with a passion for British heritage. Maintenance requires specialist knowledge and original parts are scarce, a network of classic motorcycle specialists and club membership is essential. The modern Gold Star is available through a limited dealer network in the Netherlands. BSA sits in the classic segment alongside Triumph and Norton.
