Mt first motorcycle was a used Ducati 350 Sebring, in 1975. I hadn't passed my Riding Test at the time but I still bought it, using my student Grant for Art College. I got into trouble on my first (illegal) ride and it was probably lucky that the electrics were so terrible that I never rode it again. How I wish I still had it now!
I had a 1960 BSA Super Rocket Punched out to a 750 on a low rider hardtail Jammer frame that was 18 0ver front forks magneto ign. 6 volt God that bike had so many memories summer and winter
WOW that's a full blown documentary🤯 Never expected this quality from you specially after the last comment I did😅 You did came a long way👏👏 Keep getting better
Great video. I think you took all the criticism on your ego😂 The voice over the editing all have improved considerably. I have a video request. Can you make a video about TVS. About how they dominate the maket and also about how they made apache rr 310
Now bikes labelled BSA are made in India. They are BSA by name only. Royal Enfield India however, are genuine Enfields, as they were part of the original company and survived in India after the business was closed in the UK.
BSA knew in the 1960's that Asia would be impossible to keep pace with,Triumph had a better reputation with Americans and BSA quit motorcycle production in 1972?
"One major trend is the growing demand for electric vehicles", really? What trend? I know no one who rides and has the slightest interest in an electric motorcycle. "Green motorcycles"? Lord spare us all.
BSA doesnt stand for Birmingham Small Arms but for.... Bastard Seized Again or Bits Stuck Anywhere...anyway there is a very interesting book called "Whatever happend to the british motorcycle industry" by Bert Hopwood. Hopwood was the assistant of Edward Turner who designed the Triumph Speed Twin in the 1930s, went on to design the first BSA parallel twin and later the Norton parallel twin as well.
Sadly as much as you wish electric motorcycles to capture a large future market share i think that is wishfull thinking that consumetrs will embrace that ethos as that is foreign to the culture and history that encompasses the desire that customers seek to enjoy the power of a powerful motor and all the associated enjoyment one desires from unleashing the enjoyment of a throbbing power house between your loins.And electric motor cycles will be resined to suburban commuting and very short haul trips not,, far from a charging source. ALSO YOU CANT GET THAT VISCERAL FEEL THAT A POWERFULL 4 STROKE GIVES THE RIDER.
The BSA comeback is two decades two late and I don't see anyone customizing a new gold star not when there's still plenty of A65's out there for not much money
I wish Americans would learn to correctly pronounce English placenames. BSA were not from 'Birming-Ham'. In English, the city name is pronounced with a silent 'h' and minimal stress on the last vowel. Still, I guess this piece was put together by Artificial Intelligence, an oxymoron if ever I heard one. Complete lack of intelligence of any sort, I reckon. The BSA Bantam was, as you say, a popular motorcycle for many years. But the design was heavily based on the pre-war German DKW motorcycle. BSA (and others) gained the rights to use these German designs as part of the reparations after the end of the Second World War, so BSA cannot take all the credit for the success of the Bantam. Love and peace.
You are sadly getting the years and the models totally mixed up which means you have not done proper research. Your videos may appeal to historically inept viewers but not to true motorcycle enthusiasts who have a strong interest in early motorcycles. Please spend a lot more time on historical research before putting out more videos.
What a load of rubbish. Terrible text-to-speech bot, and why choose an American voice? Many factual errors, not much solid information at all, lots of waffle like D.Trump, and what's with the stupid click-bait title that has nothing to do with the content?

People will not buy expensive electric motorcycles.
People are already buying expensive electric motorcycles. Pay attention at the back of the class!
Not very many.

Thank you!
I own a 68 BSA 500cc twin Royal Star. I also have a Harley and a 85 Yamaha RZ500.
Apparently they're struggling to shift so called electric motorcycles because as with cars nobody wants them. Can't think why 🤔😁
Back in the day, I rode TT Scrambles in So. Cal. on a BSA 441cc Victor in the 500cc class. I loved that bike!
Great video. I think you took all the criticism on your ego😂 The voice over the editing all have improved considerably.

Thank you, sure will do TVS one sure. Thanks for the input.
BSA 650 Thunderbolts rule
I wanted to watch this but I'm not spending a half hour listening to a robot.
A.I. voiceovers have seriously curtailed the amount of time I spend on UA-cam,they`re abysmal.
The BSA 650 was my dream bike when I was young. Now, the bikes are made in India along with Royal Enfield.

BSA stands for Bloody Sore Arse.
Bloody Sore Arse
Bloody Sore Arse, or in france Bonne Saloperie Anglaise.🏍
Throwing capital at an electric will probably tank the company . No one Wants them . A dual purpose bike is likely to make it .
BSA made motorcycles in the 80’s?

Britain was already in WW2 in the 1930s,the war didn`t start when America finally joined in in the 1940s😁

timeline is all over the place, you introduced a picture of the New 650 single at the wrong time.
I wish Americans would learn to correctly pronounce English placenames.

Tedious, convoluted and inaccurate with a meandering timeline, all of which only serves to confuse.
Electric? So, a cordless drill is now a motorcycle? Not buying it.
