                • Pros
                • Cons
                • BSA Gold Star

                  • Comfortable riding position
                  • Classic design with retro looks
                  • Smooth acceleration and good mid-range torque

                  Jawa Perak

                  • The engine feels more easygoing than the shorter-geared classic Jawa.
                  • Can cruise at 100kmph all day long with little to no vibes.
                  • Suspension setup is on the firmer side but it does a decent enough job at filtering bumps.
                • BSA Gold Star

                  • Vibrations start to creep in around 4,000rpm
                  • The clutch is a bit on the heavier side

                  Jawa Perak

                  • Build quality has improved compared to the BS4 Jawa, but it still feels a bit rough around the edges.
                  • Riding posture feels a bit cramped for a 5’10” frame like mine.
                  • The vanilla exhaust note and lack of modern features is a bit of a letdown.

                  Old school character & thumpy
                  I was looking for a big bike that is easy to handle & has some character. BSA Gold Star has a classic & thumpy character that makes you feel like an old school charm. I'm primarily using it for city & highway rides. I have ridden it around 6000 kms that include both city & highway rides. The bike has great rear suspension & okayish front suspension (could've been improved). I prefer to setup the pre load to 4 (against the default 2) for better quality ride. Yes, Definitely go for it if you're looking for a thumpy performance & old school characterful bike. Suites best for city & highway commutes. It's a proper roadster with good mileage & lower end torque.

                  Great bike
                  Bought this bike 6 months ago and done almost 9000km and the bike is running smooth did a little little bit of modification to exhaust now it sounds better than the re650’s. Good performance, very comfortable mileage is not good but enough for a 650cc motorcycle, if anyone is looking for re 650 i would recommend do take a test ride of goldstar you will not regret

                  Very good bike
                  The performance will be just like the classic 650. Even though It has an upward riding position, it's still a comfortable bike. Cannot tell until I know the real price from my area because what I see online isn't always real style and design-wise this would be the coolest bike ever made in India.

                  Battery issue and pathetic service quality. Vehicle stopped inbetween as battery discharge while running. Unreliable vehicle without proper service back up. After the vehicle got serviced from the authorised service station, same issue occured again. No quality in service

                  Good for speed and stylish
                  I chose Jawa Perak 334 mainly because iska look mujhe bahut unique laga single seat bobber style sab bikes se alag feel deta hai engine bhi powerful hai aur road par strong dikhti hai mujhe kuch hatke chahiye tha jo har kisi ke paas na ho isliye ye bike choose ki. Ride experience ab tak kaafi smooth raha hai bike highway par stable feel deti hai aur aceleration bhi strong hai thoda heavy hai lekin control achha mil jata hai long rides ke liye comfortable hai bas city traffic me kabhi-kabhi thoda heavy lagta hai overall ride enjoyable hai. Haan, main recommend karunga lekin un logon ke liye jo style aur performance dono chahte hain Agar aapko unique design aur powerful engine pasand hai to ye bike best hai. Lekin jo log daily traffic ke liye easy bike chahte hain unke liye thodi heavy lag sakti hai.
