Just a few days after launching the BSA Gold Star 650, Classic Legends have begun customer deliveries of the retro roadster in India

Classic Legends brought back the legendary BSA brand in late 2021 with the return of the Gold Star nameplate, and it was launched in India on Independence Day with a starting price of Rs. 2.99 lakh and it goes all the way up to Rs. 3.35 lakh (ex-showroom) based on the colour chosen. The reservations also opened that day and now the customer deliveries have begun.

The BSA Gold Star 650 is powered by a 652 cc single-cylinder DOHC 4-valve liquid-cooled engine that produces 45 bhp at 5,000 rpm and 55 Nm of peak torque at 4,000 rpm. It comes with a five-speed transmission equipped with a slipper and assist clutch. Manufactured in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh, it is exported to several global markets.

The new BSA Gold Star is strategically positioned to compete with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 at almost a similar pricing. The engine’s exterior is designed to replicate the classic look of the vintage Gold Star, giving the Gold Star 650 a distinctive appeal. This blend of retro design and modern functionality should appeal to enthusiasts who value both timeless aesthetics and contemporary features.

Braking is handled by single discs at both ends – 320 mm at the front and 255 mm at the rear – supported by a dual-channel ABS system supplied by Continental.

The retro-styled BSA Gold Star 650 features a round headlight unit and a muscular teardrop-shaped fuel tank, accentuating its vintage appeal. The mid-set footpegs and single-piece seat are designed for a comfortable riding posture. Complementing its classic aesthetics, the motorcycle also sports a side-mounted exhaust system and chunky front and rear fenders.
