The BSA M21 was a 600 cc single cylinder side valve touring motorcycle made at Small Heath, Birmingham, introduced in 1937 as part of Val Page's new range of heavyweight M series singles. It was commonly fitted with a sidecar, and fleets of M21 outfits carrying tools and spares served roadside breakdowns for the Royal Dutch Touring Club and the British Automobile Association until the AA replaced them with vans in 1968. Hand gear change became foot change in 1939, telescopic forks arrived in 1948 and an alloy head in 1951. Production resumed after the war in 1946, and the model left the catalogue in 1958 though special orders were taken until 1963.
