Birmingham Small Arms Company

Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) was a prominent British manufacturer founded in 1861, originally producing firearms for the military. Over time, it expanded into manufacturing motorcycles, bicycles, and consumer goods. Known for innovative design, BSA became a major name in the motorcycle industry, producing popular models throughout the 20th century. The company also made firearms, tools, and other equipment. By the late 20th century, BSA's motorcycle division faced decline, and the brand eventually ceased manufacturing in the 1970s. Today, BSA's legacy remains in classic motorcycles and historical contributions to the manufacturing industry.
