BSA Gold Star 650 to be unveiled in India on August 15, 2024

Classic Legends, the company that owns Jawa and Yezdi brands in India, has sent us a ‘block your date’ for a brand launch on August 15th, 2024. The company is all set to launch, actually revive, their third motorcycle brand in India – BSA on Independence Day, and will also showcase the BSA Gold Star 650 motorcycle, which will go on sale soon. With a strong focus on modern classic motorcycles, Classic Legends will bring back the Birmingham Small Arms (BSA) brand in India, which has a strong brand recall when it comes to classic and vintage motorcycles.

The Gold Star 650 is a modern classic motorcycle, with a retro design inspired from the BSA Gold Star of the 50s and the 60s. The fuel tank is a typical tear-drop shaped unit along with a round headlight and a flat-ish seat with wide handlebar. In typical modern classic fashion, the motorcycle gets dollops of chrome to give it that period-correct look.

The BSA Gold Star 650, as the name suggests, gets a 652 cc engine, a single-cylinder unit, which is liquid-cooled and makes 45 bhp at 5,000 rpm and 55 Nm at 4,000 rpm. The engine is paired to a 5-speed gearbox, with a slip and assist clutch. The motorcycle is built around a tubular steel double-cradle frame, with 41 mm telescopic fork up front and twin-shock absorbers at the rear. Up front the bike gets a 320 mm disc and at the rear it gets a 255 mm disc. Dual-channel ABS is a standard feature. 

The BSA Gold Star 650 is likely to have a starting price of Rs. 4.5 lakh or less. When it is launched, it could go up against the likes of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
