BSA Motorcycles enters India with the launch of the Gold Star 650, a modern classic motorcycle, which pays homage to the legendary BSA Gold Star that was on sale between 1938 and 1963 globally. 
The Gold Star 650 looks nearly identical to the original when it comes to design. The round headlamp and tear-drop-shaped fuel tank feel period correct. The fuel tank also gets chrome plates on the side with the BSA logo, while the overall lines also retain the vintage feel. Adding to the homage is the wide single-piece handlebar and flat bench-type seat.

The BSA Gold Star 650 is the largest displacement made-in-India single-cylinder motorcycle. It is only slightly smaller than the Ducati Hypermotard Mono’s 698 cc single-cylinder motor. The Gold Star 650 is powered by a 652 cc single-pot, big bore, liquid-cooled engine tuned for 45 bhp and 55 Nm, paired with a 5-speed gearbox.

The new BSA is underpinned by a cradle frame with 41 mm telescopic forks at the front and 5-step preload adjustable twin shocks at the rear. Braking comes from Brembo with discs at either end with dual-channel ABS as standard from Continental. The bike rides on aluminium wire-spoked wheels wrapped in Pirelli Phantom tubeless tyres.
