Engine and Performance

Powering the new Bantam is a Euro5 compliant liquid-cooled DOHC engine that delivers a modest yet effective output of 28.8bhp. With its straightforward, upright design and a six-speed manual gearbox, it is particularly suited for urban commuting and country road adventures. Weighing in at 185kg and featuring an 800mm seat height, the Bantam is designed to be accessible and inviting for both new and experienced riders alike.

Design and Features

Visually, the Bantam captures a retro essence with its minimalist styling, featuring a flat bench seat, subtle ‘bantam 350’ side panels, and an exposed front headlight. Riders can choose between analogue and digital clocks, adding a modern touch to the classic design. The bike rides on durable cast 18/17 inch rims equipped with tubeless MRF tyres, boasting dual channel ABS for enhanced safety. The suspension system comprises traditional forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear, designed to provide a comfortable ride.

In summary, the new BSA Bantam not only honors its legacy but also aims to bring the thrill of motorcycling to a wider audience, promising affordable, enjoyable rides for both new and established riders.
