The BSA Gold Star 650 has been launched in India, which is priced at Rs 2.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This modern retro motorcycle, built in India, is available in five distinct colours, each with its own price point.
Starting with the design, the BSA Gold Star 650 boasts a captivating retro motorcycle aesthetic that should resonate with enthusiasts of classic bikes. From the round headlight and the contoured fuel tank to the gracefully curved fenders, every element contributes to its sophisticated look. The Gold Star 650 is offered in several color options: Insignia Red and Highland Green at Rs 2.99 lakh, Midnight Black and Dawn Silver at Rs 3.12 lakh, Shadow Black at Rs 3.15 lakh, and legacy Edition – Sheen silver at Rs 3.34 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom. Beneath its stylish exterior, the Gold Star 650 features a cradle frame suspended by a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. It rolls on wire-spoke wheels equipped with tube-type tires. Braking is handled by a single disc at both ends, and dual-channel ABS comes standard for enhanced safety.
The BSA Gold Star is driven by a 652cc, 4-valve, DOHC, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine. Producing 45bhp and 55Nm of torque, this engine is mated to a five-speed gearbox. BSA asserts that the engine, designed to be smooth for a large single-cylinder unit, can push the bike to speeds over 160 km/h. Feature-wise, the Gold Star is equipped with a twin-pod, semi-digital instrument cluster and a USB charger for added convenience.
The BSA Gold Star 650 is now available for purchase through authorized dealers, with bookings officially open. It competes directly with the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, which starts at Rs 3.03 lakh.
