BSA earlier revealed the launch timeline of the Gold Star for the global market. If you’re waiting for the 650cc retro bike to be launched in India, you should read this. The BSA Gold Star was spotted testing in India earlier too. Here’s a detailed analysis of what we saw on the test mule. This single-cylinder 650cc retro bike is BSA’s modern take on the original Gold Star from the 1960s, and is meant to take on the likes of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. Our report analyses all the details of this retro bike.

The BSA Gold Star is a true-blue retro roadster with a classic fuel tank with an offset cap, pinstripes, flat bench seat, minimal side panels, and generous use of chrome. The Gold Star uses a 652cc single-cylinder, 4-valve DOHC liquid-cooled motor developing 45.6PS at 6000rpm and 55Nm at 4000rpm. This motor is mated to a 5-speed gearbox paired with slip-and-assist clutch.

The BSA Gold Star is equipped with a double-cradle frame which is suspended onto a 41mm telescopic fork and 5-step preload-adjustable dual rear shocks. The bike gets an 18-inch wheel and the front and a 17-inch unit at the rear shod with Pirelli Phantom Sportcomp tyres. Braking duties are taken care of by a 320mm disc up front and a 255mm disc at the rear, paired with Brembo calipers.

The BSA Gold Star locks horns with the Kawasaki Z650RS and Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
