BSA is another iconic British brand that in its prime was the largest motorcycle manufacturer in the world. BSA has produced some truly iconic motorcycles including the Goldstar, but possibly the most important bike they produced was the M20, also know as a WD M20 for the British Army in World War 2. The BSA brand lives on today, owned by Classic Legends, which Indian company the Mahindra group has a significant stake in. Not sure what you think, but personally I would love to see this classic brand become strong again, much like Royal Enfield.
Today's story is about John and his very special, 1942 BSA M20.

I'm now aged 85, but in my younger (army) days I was a dispatch rider with the Royal Artillery, my bike being a faithful BSA M20. At the age of 18, I was given a motorcycle to ride, with free fuel & maintenance. What's not to like.... Happy days!😁

@BikerTorque Жыл бұрын

Hi Barrie, thanks for watching and for sharing a bit of your story. Where did you serve? Free fuel and maintenance sounds like a great thing, although I imagine the M20 probably did much of either.

My name's Barrie, my first motorised bike was a Minimotor mounted on a push bike at the age of 14. I was a dispatch rider in the British army in the fifties my mount being the trusty BSA M20. I'm 86, and still riding, my bike being a Yamaha MT 03 light, but fast. Keep on keeping on as long as you can👍

Hi Barrie, thanks for watching, hope you enjoyed our video about John and his M20. The MT03 is a great little bike, in fact the whole MT range are pretty good.

Great interview with a wise, old, experienced but still passionate biker. I was fascinated to learn the history of his father riding the bike in his war commission / assignment

I've had my ex army m20 since 1981, I've probably pushed it more than I've ridden it! But i like that old steam pigeon! There is certainly a few truck to start it as well as riding it.

i love your M20. I have the M21 but they are more or less the same. No doubt your Triumph is more versatile and you can go a longer distance but the BSA has, in my opinion, more character. Then again I don't need a motorbike for travel or work so it's purely for fun. Some days I feel very unwell and would not go out on it but on the good days I love going out for a run. I had new valve seats put in when unleaded blew the old exhaust valve. I still use additive but I probably don't need it.

Agree, plenty of character in an old BSA. Thanks for watching

আমার বাবার ১৯৬০ মডেলের BSA মটর বাইক ছিল। উনি এটাকে খুব পছন্দ করতেন। ১৯৭১ সনে বাংলাদেশের মুক্তিযুদ্ধের সময় এটি লুট করে পাকসেনারা। এরপরে বাবা অনেক বাইক চালিয়েছেন কিন্তু তিনি তার সেই BSA 'র কথা ভোলেন নাই।
