A 63 cc engine with a chain driven overhead camshaft debuted in 1965 and went into two new models: the step through C65, making 4.1 kW, and the S65, with a pressed steel sports frame and 4.6 kW at 10,000 rpm. The 1965 CM90 step through used the 86.7 cc pushrod engine, enlarged, from the 1963 C200. BSA's Edward Turner said in December 1965 that small Japanese motorcycles selling well was good for BSA, as it brought in new riders, without foreseeing how fast the Japanese would advance and threaten British machines.
