BSA Scrambler 350 and Bobber 350 unveiled

Classic Legends hasn’t kept the BSA brand active in India, but things are evidently quite different in Europe. The company just unveiled two new 350 motorcycles at EICMA 2026 – the Bantam Scrambler 350 and Bantam Bobber 350 – and has given new colour options to the four existing motorcycles for the upcoming year. India, by contrast, only has two of those so far.

1. Bantam Scrambler 350 and Bantam Bobber 350 are new launches with two different 334cc single-cylinder engines
2. Thunderbolt 350, Bantam 350, Gold Star 650 and Scrambler 650 get additional colour options
3. Scrambler 350 and Bobber 350 are expected to be available next year; prices not yet revealed

BSA updated line-up: What’s new?

The Bantam Scrambler 350 debuts a new, lighter 334cc engine

Kicking things off with the Bantam Scrambler 350, it’s a throwback to the 1966 Bushman. While it appears to be a scrambler version of the Bantam 350 at first glance, it’s a markedly different motorcycle. It is also powered by a 334cc engine but has different output figures from the Bobber and the regular Bantam. The Scrambler 350’s engine makes 29hp and 30Nm and is said to deliver strong low- and mid-end torque, along with a sharper throttle response. BSA also claims it to be a new engine designed to reduce weight while increasing power. Typical of a scrambler, it has a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear, which are brought to a stop by a 320mm front disc and a 240mm rear disc. However, BSA has retained the dimensions to be quite accessible, with an 812mm seat height and 184kg kerb weight. The Bantam Scrambler 350 is available in three colours: Black, Green and Grey.

Differences between the Bobber 350 and Bobber 350 SP are hard to miss.

The Bantam Bobber 350 is powered by a different 334cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine with an output of 28.2hp and 26.4Nm, coupled with a 6-speed gearbox. The standard version has a 41mm telescopic fork and a preload-adjustable monoshock; it rides on an 18-inch front alloy wheel and a 17-inch rear one, with stopping duties taken care of by a 320mm disc and a 240mm disc, respectively. Dual-channel ABS is standard, and the standard seat height is 742mm, which, coupled with a 189kg weight, should make the Bantam Bobber 350 feel substantial to ride. BSA has only revealed the motorcycle in one colour for now, a dark red/grey, while teasing more colour options in the future.

The Bantam Bobber 350 SP (Special Parts) edition trades its telescopic forks for gold USD units and swaps the alloys for 16-inch wire-spoke wheels and a chunkier front tyre. It also gets a TFT display and is available in a single Dark Chrome colour.

Two of the three colours for the Thunderbolt 350. The third Grey colour can be spotted next to the Bobber 350 SP.

Besides these two new motorcycles, the Birmingham-based manufacturer revealed new colour options for its existing line-up of motorcycles. The Thunderbolt 350 adventure tourer now has three new colour options: Black/Yellow, Green/Ivory and Grey. It was due to hit the markets in mid-2026 but has since been delayed. The Bantam 350, revealed alongside the Thunderbolt at EICMA 2025, is available for purchase and now gets a new Mist green colour. As for the 650s, the Gold Star 650, which reintroduced the brand to the world, gets Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black colours (also launched in India recently); the Scrambler 650 adds Deep Green, Black Chrome and Gloss Black and Victory Yellow colour options. While India also has it, it’s available in Raven Black and Thunder Grey, besides the Victory Yellow.

At the time of writing, BSA hasn’t clarified whether the 350s are headed to India anytime soon, and there are no prices for the two new motorcycles either. However, the company has clarified that these and the Thunderbolt 350 will reach European markets in 2027.
