Overview[edit | edit source]
BSA X35-1
BSA's policy of building straightforward and well-engineered
motorcycles enabled the Birmingham firm to weather the difficult Depression
years of the early 1930s to such good effect that by the middle of the decade
its advertising could boast that 'one in four is a BSA'. Towards the bottom end
of its 1935 range, just above the Model X35-0 ultra-lightweight, BSA offered a
249cc sidevalve single - the Model B35-1. The latter had originated back in 1933
as the Model B33-1 and for 1936 adopted the designation 'B1'.
Nowadays unkindly referred to as 'grey porridge', models such as these were greatly in demand in their day as basic, get-to-work transport for the man in the street, being affordable, reliable and cheap to run.
