If there was one product that typified all that was so right and good about the British motor cycle industry then surely it was BSA’s over-engineered 350cc single-cylinder B31. The new B31 was the first to resurface after the war and constituted the “promise of good times to come”, which had been the company’s slogan while the fighting was on. Good for over 70mph and 75mpg, the workhorse B31 was hugely successful for BSA. It was their first machine to use telescopic forks and with its bigger brother the B33 (499cc), made up the backbone of the BSA singles range throughout the 1950s.
