BSA went bust just as the oil in the frame models were launched which had conical hub twin leaders,discs came to the Triumph models after BSA had gone but the works racers did have a disc brake/brakes. My answer would be the BSA Regal.Haven't a clue regarding the SD question.

Think the BSA Regal stuck with a front drum for a more authentic "oldie" look ? , it's not thought of as BSA's finest hour so most BSA anoraks claim no BSA production bike had a disc brake . And to be fair it was a NVT product by then www.bridportclassicbikeclub.co.uk/Images%20BCMC/Grants-5-tracker.jpgGo on Bodie give us a question, I'm hopeless at this :-) |

Though this gives different info ........http://world.honda.com/history/challenge/1969cb750four/ |
