The BSA factory was established in Birmingham in 1861 and went on to become one of the world's largest motorcycle manufacturers. The B25 range was the last of a long line of ‘learner legal’ 250s offered by BSA, with a simple tried and tested single-cylinder OHV engine developing around 20bhp. The Starfire was the sporty model in the range, sharing many cycle parts with the B44 Victor Roadster, including a fibreglass tank and a seat with a rear hump. Front forks were two-way damped and rubber gaiters fitted instead of the metal covers of the C15 and the rear shock absorbers were now exposed. Chrome mudguards and a chrome headlight shell added to the style and in 1969, in common with other machines in the BSA/Triumph range, a new 7" twin leading shoe front brake was fitted.

This B25S, being offered at no reserve, has been subject to an extensive restoration by the vendor at a cost of over £4000. The engine has been overhauled and fitted with electronic ignition together with a new wiring loom. New period correct tyres have been mounted on alloy rims with stainless spokes, new wheel and steering bearings, the brakes have been relined, front forks overhauled and new rear shocks fitted. Cosmetically, the paintwork has been refinished with the fuel tank and side panels in metallic blue and the mudguards rechromed. Stainless steel fasteners were used wherever possible and new cables fitted. The B25 is a relatively lightweight model that makes a great mount for using on vintage runs and rallies.
