BSA Bantam by Own Wright
The diminutive BSA Bantam is one
of the icons of British motoring in the twentieth century. It was not
fast, or glamorous, or particularly well built; but it was cheap, easy
to ride and reasonably reliable. It was an introduction to motoring for
thousands of men and women in the fifties and sixties, and it still
holds 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. Topics
covered: Full history of the BSA Bantam. - Special panels on
important features and people. - Full specifications for major models.
Hardcover - 7-1/2" x 9-1/2" - 192
pages - 8 color, 175 b/w

BSA Unit Twins by Matthew Vale
The BSA 500 and 650cc Unit Twins
were the top-of-the-range models for BSA from the early 1960s through to
the Rocket 3 of 1969. The model range covered every angle, from staid
tourer, through off-road racers through to true road burners. This book
has two parts - the first describes the design and development of the
range from its inception in 1962 to the final demise of BSA in 1973,
detailing the various models produced each year. The second part of the
book looks at the practicalities of restoring and running the model,
through documenting both owners experiences and a full restoration of a
typical bike. The illustrated record of the restoration of a 1965
Lightning identifies the pitfalls that will confront the restorer and
the practical modifications that can be made to provide a reliable mount
for todays traffic conditions. Hardcover - 8" x 10" - 200 pp -
20 color, 150 b/w

BSA Pre-Unit Twins by Mick Walker
BSA was once the largest—and
most successful— motorcycle company in the world. Many of the most
famous “Beezas” were powered by twin-cylinder engines, in both vee
and parallel configurations. During the interwar years BSA built a
series of side-valve and overhead Valve V-Twins in 500, 750 and 1000cc.
After World War II, BSA built a family of vertical twins in 500cc [A7]
and 650cc [A10] guises. Their names bring back fond memories: Star Twin,
Shooting Star, Golden Flash, Road Rocket, Super Rocket, and the
magnificent Rocket Gold Star. This is the very first book to deal
exclusively with both the interwar V-Twins and the postwar A7/10 series.
Hardcover, 200 pg, 7-3/4" x 9-3/4"

When Rosie Meet Anneka by Steve Wilson
Imagine a motorcycle that could talk. Not just any old motorcycle but a
very special one, a BSA called Anneka that is nearly 50 years old and
very much in need of some tender loving care. But Anneka only talks to
Rosie as she and her father struggle not only to restore the bike but
also find the answer to the age-old mystery of the 3,000 year old White
Horse at Uffington in Oxfordshire - the only thing which can save her
Dad's job at the local university archaeology department...
Beautifully illustrated by Jacinthe Betts, this book is written for all
those who love the landscape of Oxfordshire, Celtic art and of course
old motorcycles, especially BSA's.
Steve Wilson is a well known author and writer on classic motorcycling
as well as being a BSA rider himself. He is married with a small
daughter and lives in the shadow of the White Horse itself.
ISBN 09535098 4 2; colour and black& white illustrations; 76 pages;
