The BSA Scrambler 650 has been launched in India, with prices starting from ₹3.25 lakh, ex-showroom. It also comes with some of the most expensive colour options in the two-wheeled segment in India, as the aforementioned price is for the Raven Black one, with the Victor Yellow commanding a premium of ₹8,000 and the Thunder Grey requiring an additional payment of ₹16,000 over the base model in black.
That being said, it is a reasonably affordable proposition as far as engine capacity is concerned, while also sporting a singularly unique engine configuration, in the form of a big, thumping single—a design that’s not really commonplace in the motorcycle industry anymore. This motor can trace its origin back to the 650cc Rotax engine in the BMW F650 Funduro, and this is a tried-and-tested design. In its current form, it pumps out 47PS and 55Nm, while running a tight 11.5:1 compression ratio.
The weight is a manageable one at 208kg, less than its direct rival, the Bear 650’s 216kg. The seat height is a manageable 820mm—high, but not too much, and 10mm lower than the Bear’s, while the ground clearance is 3mm higher than the Bear’s at 187mm. The BSA Scrambler 650 rides on a combination of 19/17 inch front/rear wheels, which should suit its purpose just fine.
Honestly, we are quite excited that the motorcycle has made it here, having been launched in the UK back in July of 2025. Stay tuned for our review.
