1968 BSA 172cc D14 Bantam Supreme
Registration no. OCG 547F
Frame no. D14B 6558
Engine no. none visible

The introduction of the 172cc D10 model in 1966 marked a number of important technical developments for the ever-popular Bantam, the most important of which were a change to coil ignition, replacing the old flywheel generator, and the adoption of a four-speed gearbox, while a raised compression ratio and bigger carburettor increased maximum power to 10bhp and the top speed to 62mph. Introduced for 1968, the successor D14 Bantam boasted a more powerful engine producing 12.6bhp. All three models – Supreme, Sports and Bushman – used the four-speed gearbox first seen on the preceding D10 while the latter pair boasted new, heavy-duty front forks. This nicely restored Bantam D14 is offered with an old-style V5 registration document. It should be noted that the registration number is not recorded in the HPI database.
