The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited, BSA was a major industrial group of businesses manufacturing military and sports firearms, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, buses, steel, iron castings, tools and more.
BSA was the largest motorcycle producer in the world. Poor investments in new products in the motorcycle division led to problems for the company.
BSA began in June 1861 in the Gun Quarter, Birmingham England. In 1880 they manufactured the Otto Dicycle. In the 1880s the company began to manufacture Safety bicycles. The company's first experimental motorcycle was constructed in 1905. Bicycle production ceased in 1887. BSA Cycles Ltd was set up in 1919 for manufacturing both bicycles and motorcycles. The bicycle and motorcycle business was separated in 1953.
In 1919 BSA launched their first 50 degree vee-twin, Model E, 770cc side valve (6-7 hp) motorcycle for the 1920 season. The bike had interchangeable valves, total loss oil system with mechanical pump and an emergency hand pump. Other features were Amac carburettor, chain drive, choice of magneto or Magdyno, 7-plate clutch, 3 speed gear box with kickstarter and new type of cantilever fork.
By the outbreak of the Second World War, the armed forces had chosen the 500 cc side-valve BSA M20 motorcycle as their preferred machine. South Africa, Eire, India, Sweden and Holland also wanted machines. In 1940 Motorcycle production was stepped up from 500 to 1,000 machines per week. BSA staff were providing demonstrations on motorcycle riding and maintenance to 250,000 officers and men in all parts of the UK.
In 1941 BSA also produced folding motorcycles for the Airborne Division. BSA bought the Sunbeam motorcycles and bicycle business from Associated Motor Cycles Ltd in 1943 and then Ariel Motors Ltd in 1944. During the course of the conflict BSA produced 126,334 motorcycles.
As the result of increased post war demand the Small Heath, Birmingham factory was turned over entirely to motorcycle production. BSA bought New Hudson motorcycle and bicycle business in 1950 and followed this up in 1951 with the purchase of Triumph Motorcycles. The affect of this acquisition was to make BSA into the largest producer of motorcycles in the world at that time. BSA also produced its 100,000th BSA Bantam motorcycle. BSA Cycles Ltd., including the BSA cycle dealer network was sold to Raleigh in 1957.
By 1965 competition from Japan (in the shape of companies like Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki) and Europe from Jawa / CZ, Bultaco and Husqvarna was eroding BSA's market share. The BSA (and Triumph range) were no longer aligned with the markets; mopeds were displacing scooter sales; superbike engine capacity had risen to 1000 cc, and the trials and scrambles areas were now the preserve of European two-strokes.
In 1968, BSA announced many changes to its product line of singles, twins and the new three-cylinder machine named the "Rocket three" for the 1969 model year. Reorganisation in 1971 concentrated motorcycle production at Meriden - Triumph's site. By 1972, BSA was so moribund that, with bankruptcy imminent. The final range was just four models: Gold Star 500, 650 Thunderbolt/Lightning and the 750 cc Rocket Three.
