The BSA series of motorcycles, more commonly known as the BSA Sloper, was a series of motorcycles produced by the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) from 1927 to 1935.
Launched in 1927, the 493cc overhead valve engine was tilted, and the bike was equipped with a saddle tank that allowed a low seating position, improving the center of gravity and maneuverability. Designated as the new S series, but became the term used by motorcyclists and then adopted by BSA for marketing. The Sloper range remained the same until its disappearance in 1935. Each model was designated with the two letters of the year produced, from which the S34 was produced in 1934.
The first models were characterized by a cylindrical head with a single 493cc (80x98mm) attack, surmounted by a cast aluminum shell for the rocker arms, with exposed valve springs. Beside the barrel of the cast there were tubes plated to cover the push rods. The contours of the cam and the wide bases on the tappets did not guarantee any valve noise, which means that the Sloper was considered by many to be one of the smoother and quieter 500 cc sports bikes. The large base housed a large, heavy flywheel and a separate oil supply tank controlled by a manual counter.
The first models had a duplex chassis and a three-speed gearbox, but soon the upper tube was replaced by an I-forged chassis to support a new steering head. By 1929/30 the engine carried a two-mouth head, and the ohv joined a less popular side valve model; these models also had extra chrome. From 1930 there was an optional sports kit for 10, including a high compression piston, hardened valves and springs and a racing spark plug. The model ceased production in 1935, when there were only two models.
The big heavy flywheel and the easy cams gave the Sloper a slow tick, which was complemented by large fishtail silencers. With a decisive rhythm, together with his manageability, they may have added the choice of his name. The cruising speed was 55 miles per hour (89 km / h), with a maximum speed of around 75 miles per hour (121 km / h).
