Mentioned in this story
British manufacturer BSA has added two new motorcycles to its Bantam range and shown a third at EICMA 2026, the motorcycle show held in Milan. The Bantam Scrambler 350 and Bantam Bobber 350 are scheduled to reach European markets in 2027. The details come from BSA's own announcement and from independent reports of the show.
All three new 350cc bikes use a 334cc single-cylinder engine. Their power, weight and styling differ, and each targets a different kind of rider.
Scrambler and Bobber specs
The Bantam Scrambler 350 takes its design cues from the 1966 BSA Bushman. It gets a new 334cc engine that BSA developed to cut weight and improve performance. The motor makes 29bhp and 30Nm of torque, and BSA is focusing on low- and mid-range performance. The bike runs a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, with 320mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes. It weighs 184kg and has a seat height of 812mm. BSA will sell it in black, green and grey.

The Bantam Bobber 350 has a low-slung design and a liquid-cooled 334cc engine. Its output is 28bhp and 26.4Nm of torque, and it uses a six-speed gearbox. The standard version has a 41mm telescopic front fork and a rear monoshock with adjustable preload. It rides on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear alloy wheels, with 320mm and 240mm disc brakes. Dual-channel ABS comes as standard. The seat height is 742mm and the weight is 189kg. The first colour scheme shown combines dark red and grey.
BSA also showed a higher-spec SP version of the Bobber. It has upgraded suspension and different wheels.
Updates to existing models
BSA also announced new colour options for four existing motorcycles: the Gold Star 650, Scrambler 650, Bantam 350 and Thunderbolt 350.
India launch unconfirmed
BSA has not confirmed whether the new 350cc models will come to India. Buyers in India should not expect them on sale soon without an official announcement. Reports of the show did not give prices for any of the new models.
