The BSA Bantam is a two-stroke unit construction motorcycle that was produce BSA (Birmungham Small Arms) between 1948-71 The Bantam was based on the DKW RT 125, a design that was received as war reparations, with the Bantam as a mirror image so the gearchange was on the right side as with other British motorcycles of the period

 

The D7 Super was introduced in 1959 and produced through to 1966, powered by a 175cc two stroke engine of 7.4bhp giving the machine a top speed of 57mph. The D7 succeeded the D5 and shared the same engine configuration but had an entirely new swinging arm frame and hydraulically damped forks which incorporated a nacelle mounted headlamp. The D7 continued in production until 1966 with at least 3 different styles of tank and alterations to the Wipac (Wico-Pacy) powered electrical system including a change to battery powered external coil ignition.
