BSA has joined the “motorcycle festival” that is being held these days at the famous EICMA in Milan. There the company has unveiled two important new features that will be part of its 2027 range: Bantam Bobber 350 and Bantam Scrambler 350. In addition, it has announced new color schemes for the Thunderbolt, Gold Star 650 and Scrambler 650 ranges, maintaining the technical specifications that have given them such good results so far.
BSA Bantam Bobber 350
The new BSA Bantam Bobber 350 It is committed to a single-seat, single-cylinder configuration, designed for those who seek to enjoy driving in their own way, disconnect from everyday noise and embark on solo adventures. Equipped with a 334 cc DOHC liquid-cooled engine, telescopic fork and dual-channel ABS, it combines outstanding performance with great lightness and ease of driving.
Its aesthetic is characterized by a custom-inspired bobber silhouette, with a low position and an image with a strong character. Along with this version, BSA presents a special edition: the BSA Bantam Bobber 350 SP (Special Parts), with a dark chrome finish, gold-colored inverted fork, 16-inch spoked wheels—with a wider front wheel—and a color TFT screen.
BSA Bantam Scrambler 350
For its part, the new BSA Bantam Scrambler 350 It stands out for its lightness and agility, with a design that allows you to leave the asphalt and explore new paths. Inspired by the original BSA Bushman from 1966, a minimalist Desert Sled style motorcycle with a higher ground clearance, ideal for tackling demanding terrain, this new version incorporates an engine specifically developed to reduce weight and offer greater power.
The new Bantam Scrambler 350 is more compact and faster than its predecessor, but retains its original spirit intact, now also adapted to urban use. Available in black, green and grey, it equips a 334cc DOHC engine with liquid cooling, light and immediate response. Its chassis incorporates hydraulic telescopic fork, dual-channel ABS and double rear shock absorber.
In addition, it has a specific transmission development and usable torque delivery at low and medium revolutions, which guarantees a direct response to the accelerator. Wired wheels and semi-knob tires complete a configuration that maintains the rugged and authentic character of the original Bushman.
Rest of the new BSA 2027 range
In addition to introducing the two new Bantams, BSA has announced three new colors for the BSA Thunderbolt: black and yellow, gray and green, and ivory. First presented at EICMA last year, this motorcycle is the company’s first adventure model and recaptures the spirit of the original BSA Thunderbolt, designed for travel. It combines an aesthetic inspired by rally models with high-quality traction control and three ABS modes, designed to enjoy driving in different conditions.
For its part, the Gold Star 650 incorporates two new colors for 2027: Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black. Something similar happens with the Scrambler 650, which next season will be available in the color combinations Deep Green, Black Chrome and Gloss Black, thus joining the popular Victor Yellow.
Launched in July 2025, the Scrambler 650 is designed to combine on-road and off-road riding. Its equipment includes Brembo brakes, dual-channel ABS and Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires.
Closing this battery of new features we have the Bantam 350, also presented last year. Its most recent chromatic addition, Mist Green, pays tribute to the first BSA Bantam, launched in 1948, as explained by the brand itself. After revealing the most important aspects of its range of models Anupam Tharejaco-founder of Classic Legends Pvt Ltd, which owns BSA, said:
“Today we present to the world a new and exciting chapter in the history of BSA: the new Dual Rebellion, two motorcycles that redefine what a Bantam can be. The Bantam Bobber 350 represents rebellion through individuality, while the Bantam Scrambler 350 does so through exploration.”
“Both are based on our best-selling Bantam 350 and share their values: accessibility, purity of design, respect for the past and a true passion for riding. But, above all, they share the same goal: to ensure that more and more people enjoy the motorcycle.”
“None of this would have been possible without our Italian distributors, PELPI International, with whom we have had an extraordinary first year. Together we have brought BSA closer to new riders throughout Italy and we are looking forward to continuing to grow on this basis. The BSA story has only just begun.”
He concluded: “Our team is constantly working on the evolution of current models and on the development of new motorcycles, with the commitment to expand BSA’s international presence until we have a model in each segment”.
