The BSA B40 was a series of 350 cc unit construction, single-cylinder, overhead valve four-stroke motorcycles made by the Birmingham Small Arms Company and developed from the BSA C15. Civilian machines were produced between 1961 and 1967 and military versions from 1967 to 1970, around 14,000 in all. BSA built it as a reaction to the high-performance Honda lightweights then appearing, boring the C15 from 67 mm to 79 mm for a capacity of 343 cc and 21 bhp. The first model was the B40 Star of 1961, followed in June 1962 by the tuned Sports Star SS90 with 24 bhp, and sports, enduro and trials, military and police versions were produced during the model's life.
