Apart from that, Classic Legends has already revived the iconic brand Jawa in India and enroute to revive Yezdi.

BSA was initially an arms and tools manufacturing company that transformed into one of the biggest names in the two-wheeler industry. However, the British company failed to carry the momentum due to poor management, eventually leading to the closure of the company due to massive losses.
