Is it the same company or just the same name?

i dunno. i just searched, "exotic motorcycles". clicked on this link          http://neworleanswebsites.com/cat/au/mm/mm.html         and started lookin at the different bikes that came up.

Possibly Same Company Different Division I guess.Lots of Bike Manufacturers made/Make Guns.CZ,Benelli,FN,Husqvarna and Vice Versa.Thats the Only ones I can think of and I'm sure there are More.

How about BSA? stands for British Small Arms. Ok they stopped making bikes decades ago but they are still making firearms.

Traditionally, "BSA" = "BIRMINGHAM Small Arms"; I STILL want an early 60's 650 Lightning...

Looks like Benelli Armi was founded in the 60s by the same Benelli brothers that had founded Benelli Motorcycles earlier. But I think the two don't belong to the same company, and I suppose they never strictly did.

If it is the same company, it's an awesome one!

BSA lives on, apparently they were 'absorbed' by another British manufacturer of motorcycles: Triumph............BSA actually made a Rocket III motorcycle.
