BSA has expanded its modern-classic motorcycle portfolio with two new 350cc motorcycles at EICMA 2026 in Milan, Italy. The British marque unveiled the Bantam Bobber 350 and Bantam Scrambler 350, introducing two distinct interpretations of its new 334cc motorcycle platform.
Both motorcycles are powered by India-developed, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engines, but their styling and hardware reflect different riding preferences. While the Bobber focuses on a low-slung factory-custom appearance, the Scrambler brings a more rugged design inspired by BSA’s off-road heritage.
The new models build on the success of the Bantam 350, which was launched in 2025 and has repeatedly topped the UK’s monthly modern-classic motorcycle sales charts.
BSA Bantam Bobber 350: Classic Custom Styling
The BSA Bantam Bobber 350 brings a traditional bobber design to the brand’s 350cc range. Its defining feature is a single-seat configuration, giving the motorcycle a clean, minimalist and low-slung appearance.
Unlike conventional roadsters, the Bobber focuses on factory-custom styling, with its proportions and seating arrangement giving it a distinctive personality.
The motorcycle gets telescopic front forks and dual-channel ABS. It is powered by a 334cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine developed in India.
BSA has not yet disclosed the engine’s maximum power and torque figures or the complete technical specifications of the Bantam Bobber 350.
BSA Bantam Scrambler 350: Inspired by the Bushman
The Bantam Scrambler 350 takes inspiration from the original 1966 BSA Bushman. Its design and equipment give it a more adventurous character compared with the Bobber.
The motorcycle uses a 334cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine, tuned to deliver responsive performance across urban and recreational riding conditions.
Its mechanical package includes telescopic hydraulic front forks, twin rear shock absorbers and dual-channel ABS. The motorcycle also gets spoked wheels with semi-knobby tyres, reinforcing its scrambler-inspired appearance.
BSA says the engine and gearing have been developed to offer usable low- and mid-range torque. This should make the motorcycle suitable for everyday riding as well as occasional recreational use on varied surfaces.
BSA Bantam Bobber 350 SP
Alongside the two new motorcycles, BSA also highlighted the Bantam Bobber 350 SP, a more distinctive version with upgraded visual and equipment details.
Its key features include gold-finished upside-down front forks, 16-inch wire-spoke wheels, a wider front tyre and a full-colour TFT instrument display.
These additions give the SP version a different appearance and a more premium equipment package compared with the standard Bobber.
Engine and Mechanical Package
Both the Bantam Bobber 350 and Bantam Scrambler 350 use a 334cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder DOHC engine developed in India.
Although the basic engine architecture is shared, BSA says the two motorcycles feature distinctly tuned engines to suit their individual riding characteristics.
The Scrambler’s setup focuses on accessible low- and mid-range torque, while the Bobber is positioned around its factory-custom styling and riding experience.
BSA has not announced the final power, torque, gearbox or detailed chassis specifications for either motorcycle in the supplied EICMA press release.

BSA Thunderbolt 350 Also Showcased

It combines rally-inspired styling with modern rider technology, including traction control, three ABS modes, turn-by-turn navigation, Bluetooth connectivity and USB charging.
The motorcycle was showcased in Black and Yellow, Grey, and Green and Ivory colour combinations.
New Colours Across the BSA Range
Apart from the new 350cc motorcycles, BSA displayed fresh colour options across its existing portfolio.
The Bantam 350 was showcased in Mist Green, a shade inspired by the original 1948 model. The Gold Star 650 received Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black, while the Scrambler 650 was displayed in Deep Green, Black Chrome, Gloss Black and Victor Yellow.
These updates add more variety to BSA’s modern-classic line-up while retaining the styling influence of its heritage models.
The Road Ahead
With the Bantam Bobber 350 and Bantam Scrambler 350, BSA is expanding its modern-classic portfolio into two distinct motorcycle categories. Both models share the same 334cc engine platform but offer different design approaches and equipment.
Their world premieres at EICMA 2026 also highlight the growing international ambitions of Jawa Yezdi and BSA Motorcycles, with India-developed products being presented to a wider global audience.
Pricing, complete specifications and market launch timelines for the new Bantam models have not yet been announced. More details are expected as BSA moves closer to their market introduction.
