B1422 Introduced in September 1958, the unitary construction BSA C15 250cc roadster replaced the outgoing C12 and would provide the basis for an entire range of singles in capacities up to 500cc. The first new C15-based model to feature an enlarged engine was the 343cc B40, an addition to the line-up for 1961. When road tested by The Motor Cycle in January 1961 the B40 demonstrated a top speed around 75mph and a miserly fuel consumption of just 86mpg. Additional performance was catered for by a larger front brake. The overhead valve engine would rev to 7,000rpm at which level it generated optimum 21bhp. The B40 remained in production until 1965, many seeing service with the British Armed Forces, which ordered 2,000 following an extended reliability test. ‘ I HAVE BEEN RESTORING, RACING, RIDING, FIXING, BUYING, SELLING, AND COLLECTING RARE MOTORCYCLES SINCE GRADUATING FROM “AMI” AMERICAN MOTORCYCLE INSTITUTE DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA IN 1980.
