Classic Legends recently commenced deliveries of the newly launched BSA Gold Star 650 in India and the first example in Rajasthan has been handed over. BSA has delivered the state's first Gold Star 650 to Prince Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar of Udaipur. The motorcycle was handed over to Prince Lakshyaraj at his residence in the city with the motorcycle now sharing space with several vintage vehicles already a part of the garage.

Rajasthan's First BSA Gold Star 650 Delivered

Prince Lakshyaraj is a collector of all things vintage right from crystals, and heritage artefacts to cars, and the new BSA Gold Star 650 would fit right into the collection with its vintage-inspired styling. The motorcycle draws design parallels to the original BSA Gold Star sold between the 1930s and 1960s and was once the most popular motorcycle to come out of the UK.

While the brand went defunct in the 1970s, it was acquired by Classic Legends, a Mahindra Group subsidiary, who revived the brand in the UK in 2021. The new Gold Star has been on sale in the UK since 2021 and the modern classic was launched in India on August 15, 2024.

Commenting on acquiring the Gold Star 650, Prince Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar, said, “The BSA Gold Star 650 is a masterful blend of tradition and innovation. I have always admired vehicles with a rich history, and the Gold Star represents the best of both worlds—heritage and modern craftsmanship. It’s an honour to include this iconic motorcycle in my collection, where it will stand alongside other vehicles that have shaped automotive history."

Ashish Singh Joshi, Director, BSA Company, said, “The BSA Gold Star 650 holds a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate history and craftsmanship, much like the esteemed collection curated by Prince Lakshyaraj Singh Mewar. It is a privilege to present him with this timeless motorcycle, which we hope will bring him immense joy as both a collector and a rider."
