BSA C12

Motorcycles and Powered Two- and Three-Wheelers

The BSA C12 was a British pre unit construction 250 cc motorcycle made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company from 1956 to 1958, meaning its engine and gearbox were separate units rather than one casting. It used the same engine as the earlier C11G with a four speed gearbox, but in a more modern chassis with swinging arm rear suspension, in place of the older rigid or plunger rear ends of earlier C series machines. Minor engine modifications made it considerably more reliable than its predecessor. It was a short lived model that came shortly before BSA moved its lightweights to unit construction with the C15 in 1958.
