The Birmingham Small Arms factory was established in the Small Heath area of Birmingham in 1861 and, as the name suggests, manufactured arms and weaponry. Around the turn of the century they started making bicycles and progressed onto motorcycles a few years later. BSA went on to become one of the world's largest producers of motorcycles up until its demise in the early 1970s. The B25 Starfire was one of the last of a long line of ‘learner legal’ 250s offered by BSA over the years, with an old-fashioned but solid single-cylinder OHV engine developing 20bhp.
On offer is a 1970 BSA B25S that has been in long-term ownership and has served the family well. It has been used for many years as transport around the Goodwood circuit from the paddocks to the hotel. The BSA was last used on the road last year, but has been started regularly, some general checks would be advised before use. It is accompanied by a current V5C.
