BSA B25SS 1971

Jim’s Bike. Best British winner in our 2020 Online Old Motorcycle Gathering

From Jim

This bike was bought locally in 2010  and the engine was supposed to have been rebuilt by a specialist, but clearly had not. With a total rebuild  and much tinkering, the bike now runs well, very light and quite lively for a 250cc. The bike came from West Midlands dealer John Brittain, better known as a works rider for Royal Enfield.

From John

This is an ex Royal Signals display team bike.

The bike has gone back home to North Yorks!

The buyer brought his grandad to view the bike, who rode with the display team and was responsible for selling off the bikes originally. He sold the bikes for the Army £100 each.

From Mark.

I bought this bike when I was 17 it was in bits over the years I have restored it. Because the Triumph factory that it was built in was bombed in approximately 1942 I found it very hard to get any information on it . I managed to find a classic bike magazine that had an issue of the 1937 Earl’s Court motorcycle show and on display was my bike, price to buy when new was £62.10s on the road. I  have owned it for 53 years and absolute love it. It also runs.
