BSA were able to rightly claim that "One in Four is a BSA" during the 1930's. The marques popularity can be attributed the soundness of their products combined with an extensive range supported by an extensive dealer network. The 1931 range consisted of twelve machines ranging in capacity from 250cc singles to 985cc vee-twins and included three 348cc middle weights. Two of these, the L31-4 and L31-5 employed side valves while the third, the L31-6 De Luxe was a newly introduced overhead valve model that replaced the 350cc Sloper of the previous season. The L31-6 employed a vertical single cylinder equipped with a twin port head.The machine was attractively finished with a chrome plated tank with green panels and black cycle parts, the exhaust featured two silencers of an elongated "Brooklands" can style. Options included the provision of a mag-dyno and electric lighting as fitted to the machine offered or acetylene lighting.
