History

1958 saw the beginning of a complete new engine/transmission design with the introduction of unit construction machine in place of the 250 cc C12.
The first Motorcycle the 250cc C 15 Star, was an instant success. It had a clean appearance and provided reliable and economical transport. The 350 cc B40 followed in 1960 and in 1965 BSA offered the powerful 441 cc B44 to be superseded by the 500 cc B50 in 1971, which in a moment of nostalgia was named the Gold Star.
