BSA has entered its next exciting era by extending its best-selling Bantam category with the new Bantam Bobber 350 and Bantam Scrambler 350.
The new BSA Bantam Bobber 350, designed with one cylinder and one seat, allows riders to reconnect with themselves, focus on ‘me time’, and the act of escaping all the noise on a solo adventure. Featuring a 334cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine with telescopic forks and dual channel ABS, the model delivers powerful performance along with feather light handling, and low-slung, factory custom bobber lines for a gritty aesthetic. The bike is an unapologetic lifestyle statement of pure individualism, built for one, but envied by all.
Alongside this model is a special edition version, the BSA Bantam Bobber 350 SP (Special Parts) in dark chrome, boasting gold upside down forks, 16-inch spoked wheels (with chunky front wheel), and a full colour TFT display screen.
The new BSA Bantam Scrambler 350 is lightweight, agile, and ensures nowhere is off-limits. Inspired by the original 1966 BSA Bushman, a stripped-back, high-clearance desert sled built to handle the rough outback, the new BSA Bantam Scrambler 350 introduces a new engine, designed specifically to reduce weight and deliver increased power. The BSA Bantam Scrambler 350 is tighter and faster than the original, whilst possessing the exact same soul, just sharpened and suitable for urban environments.
Available in Black, Green, and Grey, the bike is powered by a responsive and lightweight 334cc liquid-cooled DOHC engine, with telescopic hydraulic forks, dual channel ABS and twin shock absorbers for progressive comfort and control. The model benefits from tuned gearing and usable low- and mid-range torque delivering sharp throttle response, with spoked, semi-knobby tyres, all of which offer the same analogue toughness as the original Bushman.
In addition to revealing the two BSA Bantams today, the brand introduced three new colours for the BSA Thunderbolt: Black and Yellow, Grey, and Green and Ivory. The motorcycle, which debuted at EICMA last year, is the company’s first adventure model and a nod to the original BSA Thunderbolt tourer, whilst featuring rally-style aesthetics, premium traction control and three ABS modes for full throttle escapades. The bike, along with the new Bantams is due to hit markets in 2027.
BSA previously introduced the BSA Gold Star 650 in 2021, a powerful 652cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder modern-retro roadster, with two additional colours launched this year, Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black.
At EICMA 2026, BSA has also unveiled the 2027 colour options for its versatile BSA Scrambler 650: Deep Green, Black Chrome and Gloss Black, alongside the hugely popular Victor Yellow. Launched in July 2025, the BSA Scrambler 650 is built for both on-road and off-road riding, with Brembo brakes, dual-channel ABS and grippy Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres.

Whilst the BSA Bantam 350, also launched last year, is a swift modern-day bike with classic features with sales quickly topping the modern classic market multiple times in the UK and EU since its inception. It’s most recent colour addition, Mist Green, honours the very first BSA Bantam released in 1948.
The British-born brand, which originated over a century ago, was brought back to life in 2016 by Classic Legends Pvt Ltd, part of the Mahindra Group. Classic Legends is responsible for three unique brands – BSA, Jawa, and Yezdi – which benefit from a shared global platform, providing optimal operational efficiency whilst respecting the unique DNA and heritage of each.
Every new BSA bike draws inspiration from its rich heritage, whilst delivering uncompromised performance and useability, along with being Euro 5+ compliant.
Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Classic Legends Pvt Ltd, which owns BSA, said: “Today we introduce the world to another exciting chapter for BSA: the new Bantam ‘Dual Rebellion’, two bikes that redefine what a Bantam can be. The Bantam Bobber 350 stands for rebellion through individuality, and the Bantam Scrambler 350 stands for rebellion through exploration. Both are built on our best-selling Bantam 350 and share its values of inclusivity, purity of design, respect for the past and a real passion for riding. Above all, they share one aim: to get more people riding.
None of this would be possible without our Italian distributors, PELPI International, with whom we’ve had an amazing first year. Together we’ve brought BSA to new riders across Italy, and we’re excited to build on that momentum. The BSA story is only just getting started. Our team is constantly evolving existing models and developing new motorcycles, and we’re committed to growing BSA’s global footprint until we have a bike in every segment.”
