BSA Gold Star Launching in India on August 15: Key Details Revealed
BSA’s iconic Gold Star is all set to hit Indian roads this August 15th. The eagerly awaited motorcycle, which features a powerful 652cc engine and classic BSA branding, has been teased ahead of its grand launch. After creating waves in the global markets, the BSA Gold Star is finally entering India. The bike pays homage to its heritage with a retro design that includes a distinctive fuel tank, curved fenders and plenty of chrome accents.
Priced competitively against the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, which retails for £6400 – £6900 in the UK, the BSA Gold Star’s Indian pricing is eagerly anticipated by Classic Legends, given its domestic production. Enthusiasts are waiting for that Rs. Starting at 3.03 lakh (ex-showroom, India), how does it fare in the 650cc segment?
Under the hood, riders can expect a 652cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine pumping out 45hp at 6500rpm and 55Nm at 4000rpm, mated to a smooth five-speed gearbox. According to Autocar, it rides on front telescopic forks, twin rear shock absorbers and strong wire-spoke wheels. Safety features include ABS-equipped disc brakes at both ends. Inspired by its legendary predecessor, the BSA Gold Star features classic features like a stylish fuel tank design, curved fenders and plenty of chrome accents.
