BSA Motorcycle Early Years
The first motorcycle fully produced by the BSA Company was built in 1910 using a 498cc 3 1/2 horsepower single engine. In 1921, the company switched to a v-twin engine, and a 770cc engine on the model A.
The most well known and easily recognized of the company’s line of motorcycles is the Gold Star. Production of the Gold Star began in 1938 and ended up as one of BSA’s longest manufactured models, with production eventually ending in the early 1960’s. During the 1950’s, the Gold Star was one of the fasted production motorcycles available with an ability to exceed 100 miles per hour and was well regarded for its ability to race on the street as well as dirt tracks with little modifications.
