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
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

Perfect strong engine cruiser for style, comfort.
I chose this bike for its stunning cruiser design, strong road presence, looks and its engine. Its super comfortable, easy to handle, and perfect for both city rides and long highway trips and it is affordable also. The ride feels amazing! The engine is smooth, the balance is great, and it glides effortlessly on highways. Mileage is fair for a 500cc bike, and the comfort level is top-notch. Engine is very good and the look is premium. Yes, If you love stylish cruiser bikes with great comfort and performance, the Rebel 500 is worth it. It is perfect for those who want a good performance cruiser bike in affordable price with a stylish look.

Best in that Price !!
The Mid and Top Range of the bike so so smooth yet powerful, a value for money in my opinion and it's compact too 📈 really love the performance, the crusing is also fair on this bike, really Enjoyed the ride. Although some people might think they are over charging, but trust me, it's better than a 650 ❤️

Honda rebel : the actual meaning of adrenaline
You know, the Honda Rebel 500 is one of those bikes they just completely nailed. It skips all that flashy, heavy chrome we see on old school cruisers and goes for this modern, blacked-out bobber look that works. And the first thing you feel is how crazy low that seat is. Seriously, it's a huge confidence booster.
