Ride away on a brand new BSA Bantam and Squire SB1 sidecar for £8,995 OTR
Following the success of their budget Benelli sidecar outfit, Watsonian have developed a version for the popular BSA Bantam 350.
Marketed under the Squire brand, the Bantam combination is the perfect entry point for riders looking to experience life on three wheels and a reliable daily runabout for seasoned sidecarists.

Built in Watsonian’s Cotswold factory, the Squire SB1 sidecar features a GRP fibreglass body, in a tough gloss black gelcoat finish. The classic octagonal nose, heavily valenced mudguard and 10” steel wheel create a timeless appearance, which complements the Bantam’s retro style. Integrated LED lighting is fitted to the mudguard and connected to the motorcycle’s loom, so lights and indicators function seamlessly.
Its body is mounted on a platform chassis, made from powder-coated tubular steel for strength and longevity, with rubber torsion suspension providing a smooth ride. The chassis is pre-set for toe-in, lean-out and axle-lead on the BSA, so it can be detached and reattached by the owner, following basic instructions supplied with the outfit.
The passenger sits in a bucket seat on an upholstered cushion in black vinyl, shielded from the elements by a GRP wind deflector.
Watsonian Squire Managing Director Ben Matthews is excited by this new collaboration;
“We have a great working relationship with BSA and it’s rewarding to develop new products with British brands. The 29 bhp Bantam is more than capable of powering a lightweight sidecar and is the perfect introduction to ‘a bit on the side’ for novices”.
The BSA Bantam 350/Squire SB1 outfit is exclusively available from Watsonian Sidecars priced at £8,995- including VAT and OTR charges.
