BSA (Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited) had its roots in the firearms industry, and its diversification into motorcycle manufacturing began in 1903. Over the years, BSA Motorcycles became one of the most prominent British motorcycle manufacturers, known for producing iconic models such as the BSA Gold Star, BSA A10, and BSA B33.
The Small Heath factory in Birmingham remained the primary manufacturing hub for BSA motorcycles until the company's decline and eventual closure in the late 1970s. However, BSA motorcycles were also manufactured in other locations during the company's history, including a factory in Redditch, Worcestershire, which produced certain models such as the BSA Bantam.
BSA Motorcycles had a significant impact on the British motorcycle industry and left a lasting legacy of high-quality and stylish motorcycles that are still cherished by enthusiasts around the world. Despite the closure of the original BSA factory, the BSA brand and heritage have been revived in recent years through various endeavors and partnerships, including the production of limited-edition motorcycles and the restoration and preservation of classic BSA models.
