BSA’s Bantam tops the charts

BSA’s Gold Star 650 was a strong seller on its debut, and the new Bantam 350 is following suit. The single-cylinder retro roadster logged 79 registrations in the MCIA’s modern classic class last November: only the scooter class, led by Honda’s Vision 110, saw higher numbers. BSA importer Lukas Distribution’s MD, Luke Gregory, said: “There’s huge demand for the Bantam. We’ve got a massive back-order list, with hundreds already on order and 300 bikes currently on the water, which really underlines how strongly the model is resonating with riders.”
