Product Description
Product Description
The diminutive BSA Bantam is one of the icons of British motoring in the 20th century. It was not fast, glamorous or particularly well-built; but it was cheap, easy to ride and reasonably reliable. It was an introduction to motoring for 1000s of men and women in the 1950s and 60s and it still holds a an important place in the memory of many. This book charts the huge success of the little bike from Birmingham that started its life in pre-war Germany and went on to conquer the world. It includes a full history of the BSA Bantam, special panels on important features and people, and full specifications for major models.
About the Author
Owen Wright has maintained a committed enthusiasm for motorcycles built by the Birmingham Small Arms Company. He has contributed regularly to the BSAOC magazine The Star, and the classic motorcycle magazines. Previous books include BSA - The Complete Story [Crowood 1992].
