The BSA Gold Star was recently launched on the 78th Independence Day of India with online bookings open. Shortly after the launch the deliveries for the bike started across India. BSA launched the Gold Star starting from Rs 2,99,990 and going up to Rs 3,34,990 (all prices ex-showroom Delhi). This big 650cc single-cylinder bike is available for sale in the Jawa-Yezdi Motorcycle dealerships across India
BSA is an old motorcycle brand which has been reintroduced in the Indian market by Mahindra and Classic Legends with its only offering, the Gold Star 650. The BSA Gold Star is a handsome-looking retro roadster-style bike that is powered by a 652cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine paired with a 5-speed gearbox. The engine makes 45.6PS at 6500rpm and 55Nm at 4000rpm. The overall ‘old-school’ design of the bike acts as a time machine taking you back to simpler times. The twin-pod analogue instrument console complements that feeling, but it also gets modern features like a digital inset on both instrument pods for additional information, a side-stand sensor, an anti-theft system and a USB charging port. The bike is available in 6 attractive colours to choose from: Insignia Red, Highland Green, Midnight Black, Dawn Silver, Shadow Black and Silver Sheen - Legacy Edition
Being a big single-cylinder engine it will deliver a unique riding experience compared to what is available in the market and brings something new to the table. The BSA Gold Star rivals the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 which has been quite successful in the market. Will this Gold Star pose a threat to the Royal Enfield 650cc bikes? Only time will tell. However, its price tag is Rs 3,000 cheaper than the Interceptor 650 and it is not only 17kg lighter but also has a 24mm lower seat height which will certainly give the BSA Gold Star an upper hand.
BSA Gold Star User Reviews
- Old school character & thumpyI 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.Read More
- Great bikeBought 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 regretRead More4 3
- Very good bikeThe 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.Read More2
- Battery issue and pathetic serviceBattery 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 serviceRead More3 2
