London, 2025:BSA Motorcycles, the storied British heritage brand, proudly announces the debut of the all-new BSA Scrambler 650 and the BSA Bantam 350. This marks a significant milestone in BSA’s journey as it continues to reimagine classic motorcycling for the modern era, delivering innovation, performance, and style rooted in a legacy that stretches back to 1861.
For decades, BSA has been synonymous with British engineering, craftsmanship, and the sheer joy of riding. The original Bantam played a pivotal role in post-war Britain, mobilising a post-World War IIgeneration and becoming the UK’s bestselling motorcycle of all time. Today, the Bantam 350 carries that same accessible spirit for new riders. Meanwhile, the introduction of the Scrambler 650 signals a bold leap for BSA, combining rugged versatility with cutting-edge engineering—serving as a testament to the brand’s enduring passion for exploration and engineering excellence.
BSA Scrambler 650: A Dynamic New Chapter
The all-new BSA Scrambler 650 blends classic British design with contemporary engineering, setting a new benchmark for dual-purpose motorcycles. Powered by a robust 652cc, liquid-cooled single-cylinder DOHC engine, the Scrambler 650 produces 45PS at 6500rpm and a commanding 55Nm at 4000rpm. Its 5-speed transmission, slip-and-assist clutch, 41mm telescopic forks, and twin shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload deliver optimal comfort and control across terrains.
With a commanding riding triangle, wide handlebars, and meaty low-down torque, the Scrambler 650 offers unmatched agility for urban commutes and rough-road escapades. The bike’s rugged appeal is accentuated by distinctive colourways—Thunder Grey, Raven Black, and Victor Yellow—and premium features including Brembo brakes with dual-channel ABS, grippy Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres, and wire-spoke alloy rims. A 12-litre fuel tank and a wet weight of 218kg ensure readiness for any adventure, while the 820mm seat height and 1,463mm wheelbase provide a confident, commanding stance on the road.
Commenting on the launch Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Classic Legends said, “The BSA Scrambler 650 embodies the free spirit and sense of adventure that all our riders embrace when out on the road. Its dynamic design and unique aesthetic ensures it is both eye-catching and innovative in its performance; we hope riders will be encouraged to ‘try something different’ with this bespoke bike. Functionality and style go hand in hand at BSA; we create beautifully crafted modern classics and want riders to feel confident and exhilarated every time.
