376:. It was designed as a mirror image of the RT 125, so that the gearchange was on the right side, in conformity with other British motorcycles of the period, and with measurements changed from metric to inches. The model Bantam, the D1, was launched in 1948 outside of the UK and in 1949 within the UK. It was in production until 1963. It had a three-speed gearbox, and a telescopic front fork with undamped springs. In its original form the D1 had no rear suspension; "direct" electrics; and a "fishtail" silencer. The front mudguard was deeply valanced, to allow for the fact that it was fitted to the "sprung" part of the front fork, meaning that the front wheel moves up and down within the mudguard. At first the D1 was offered in only one colour, Mist Green, with an ivory panel painted on each side of the fuel tank. It was priced at £60 plus purchase tax.

Bushmans were derived from the D7, but they were made in far greater numbers as D10s, some D14/4s and ultimately the D175 / B175 Bushman. Various air filters were fitted to the
Bushman models but all were mounted remotely from the carburettor behind the side panels where the battery was on road Bantams, Bushman models had direct lighting so dispensed with the battery. Most featured sump guard plates and the engine mounts are raised slightly to give the engine cases better clearance from rocks etc. Even by the mid-1970s the Bushman models were sought after by collectors and they are even more so today an amazing 49 years after BSA produced the last ones in 1971.

which changed the external appearance of the engine. The D1 engine was given same increase in finning from this date. A dualseat was fitted as standard. The D3 has a shallower front mudguard, fitted to the lower part of the front fork, so that it stays close to the front wheel and moves up and down with it. D1's built from 1953 onward have the same arrangement. BSA finished all D3s in pastel grey, with ivory panels on either side of the fuel tank. In 1956 BSA changed the rear suspension from plunger to swinging arm. It stopped making the D3 in 1958.

efficient squish combustion chamber. The compression ratio was slightly reduced, to 9.5 to 1. This makes the engine smoother and more reliable than the D14/4, but just as powerful. BSA revised the fixing on crankshaft compression disc plates to cure the problem with the D14/4. BSA also changed the front fork, using that of the
Triumph T20SH Sports Cub instead of the BSA C12. The D175 has exposed suspension springs both front and rear. The kickstart has a stronger shaft and folding pedal. The headlight main-beam indicator light was discontinued.

again, with an indentation on each side for the rider's knees, and a round plastic BSA badge instead of pear-shaped. BSA painted the revised D7 in a colour that it called "flamboyant red". In the same year it introduced coil ignition for the De Luxe model. In 1966 BSA introduced an economy version called the "Silver Bantam", which was in sapphire blue, and had silver paint on the sides of its fuel tank instead of chrome. This was short-lived, as BSA stopped making the D7 that year.

of the dualseat. The
Bushman is the off-road version, with a plate under the engine to protect the crankcase; high-level exhaust; 19-inch wheels; 58-tooth rear sprocket; increased ground clearance; and a unique colour scheme of orange and white. The Supreme and Silver have a headlamp nacelle and three-speed gearbox like the D7. The Silver has less chrome, making it the economy option. BSA made the D10 models for 1967 only.

available for use only when the engine was running. The dry cell was disposable. It could not be recharged, and had to be replaced when exhausted. The DC system included a lead acid battery and operated in a conventional manner. For a short period some D1's were equipped with Lucas lighting systems, and these operated in a similar manner to the Wipac DC system.

BSA engineers were working on an upgrade to the Bantam, the D18, before financial troubles in 1971 led to a drastic reduction of the BSA model range. The D18 was intended to be an interim model before the introduction of a new range of two-strokes that were in development. The D18 had an alloy barrel

prefix BB. The precursor to the
Bushman was a stripped down D7 called a Bronc Buck. Bushman models proper were equipped with lights, high-level exhaust, side stand, and dualseat. There was a Pastoral model for commercial farming that had single saddle and carrier rack instead of a dualseat. The first

This model is identical to the standard D1, except for a black tank with chromium strip on top and cream side panels; black frame and mudguards; chromium plated wheel-rims; polished primary chain cover; and crash bars; legshields; and larger luggage rack.

This listing shows only the main variants and most models were available with refinements or in competition form.

to a lead-acid battery. Early D1s have a "fishtail" style silencer. This was hard to clean inside, which was problematic for a two-stroke. On later D1s BSA fitted a more conventional cylindrical silencer, from which the baffles can easily be removed for cleaning. High-level exhausts were made for the

BSA offered four versions of the D10: the Sports, Supreme, Silver, and
Bushman. The Sports and Bushman were the first Bantams to have a four-speed gearbox. BSA gave both models a separately-mounted headlamp, without a nacelle. It gave the Sports chrome mudguards; a fly-screen; and a hump on the rear
889:
For 1961 BSA restyled the fuel tank, with a chrome-plated panel and pear-shaped plastic BSA badge on each side. This matched four-stroke models in the BSA range at the time. In the same year BSA introduced "sapphire blue" as a colour option, alongside black or royal red. In 1965 BSA revised the tank
754:
In 1953 BSA introduced a foam-upholstered dualseat as an optional alternative to the single saddle. In the same year it built the 100,000th D1. From 1958 the D1 was offered in maroon as an alternative to mist green. The D1 continued to be offered to the public until 1963, and was still made for the

In 1969 BSA introduced the D175, which it later redesignated the B175. This was the final Bantam model series. It is arguably the best for power and handling. BSA revised the engine, with different finning on the cylinder barrel, and a revised cylinder head with a central, vertical spark plug and
396:
The engine is a unit-construction (engine and gearbox of one piece) single-cylinder two-stroke. The barrel is cast iron and the cylinder head is alloy. Models built from 1948 until 1968 have a three-speed gearbox. Models from 1968 to 1971 have a four-speed gearbox. All models have a "wet" clutch.
931:
In 1968 BSA introduced the D14/4. It increased the compression ratio to 10 to 1, which increased power to 12.6 bhp. The "/4" in the model name signifies the fact that all models had four-speed transmission, as BSA had at last discontinued the three-speed gearbox. BSA discontinued the Silver
850:
BSA introduced the D3 Major in 1954. It was the first development from the original Bantam. BSA increased the engine cylinder bore from 52 mm to 58 mm, which gives the D3 a displacement of 148cc, and increased its power from 4.5 to 5.3 bhp. The air-cooling fins were also enlarged,
379:
In subsequent years BSA developed the Bantam with battery electrics; damped front suspension; rear suspension with plungers, and then with a swinging arm; larger engines; a steel silencer that could be dismantled for cleaning; and a four-speed gearbox. Models from 1959 onward have a swinging arm
960:
This final model was produced from 1969 to 1971, finished in metallic red and blue or plain black, all with white painted linings on the fuel tank, mudguards and side panels like the D14/4. It has an outline text decal in yellow reading "Bantam 175" on the side panels. The right hand side panel

BSA offered D1's with different electrical lighting systems. Wipac systems were available either in 6 Volt AC (known as direct lighting) or DC. The AC system used a small dry "torch" cell battery to illuminate the forward-facing "pilot" bulb within the headlamp shell. The remaining lighting was

859:
The D5 Super is a development of the swinging-arm D3, with a lengthened rear section to give more upright mounts for the rear suspension. BSA increased the cylinder bore to 61.5 mm, which increased the displacement to 173 cc, and the power to 7.5 bhp. BSA fitted an

carburettor. BSA revised the electrical system, with a new type of Wipac alternator. The points were moved from the left side to a separate housing in the primary drive cover on the right side. Apart from this, the D10 looked very similar to the last version of the D7.
737:
The D1 (the original model) 123cc was available at first only with a rigid rear suspension. BSA introduced optional plunger rear suspension in 1950, and stopped making the rigid-framed version in 1956. All D1s have undamped front suspension, which gives a bouncy ride.
