If you are looking for a street machine that is elegant and powerful then the BSA Gold Star 650 could be the one. This modern-retro cruiser features a serrated teeth pattern running along the hump of the seat to the rear fender, complete with a two-up seat and a rear seat cowl available on the FTR 1200 S. Combined with nearly 270-degree firing order for a powerfully-somooth delivery, this makes for a commanding ride.
British Legacy with a Desi Heart
The BSA A50R Gold Star 650 is a contemporary classic motorcycle that embodies the glorious tradition of British design. It was reintroduced in India by Classic Legends, as a homage to the olden days of the iconic BSA brand.
It has a classic look that takes cues from the old Gold Star models- it highlights a round headlamp, tear drop fuel tank, retro fenders and a single seat. The styling is quite minimal but impact, enough to turn heads when its cruising down the street.
Powerful Engine Meets Modern Engineering
Powering the BSA Gold Star 650 is a 652cc, single-cylinder, 4-valve, DOHC, liquid-cooled engine that is BS6-compliant. It makes 45.6 bhp power and 55 Nm torque, mated to a 5-speed gearbox.
The motorcycle features a 12-litre fuel tank and has a weight of 201 kg (kerb), thus, is purported for long-distance cruising. Its powerful powertrain provides a smooth and easygoing ride on both city and highway roads.
Comfort & Safety: A Perfect Blend
Its telescopic front forks and twin rear shock absorbers help provide a comfortable ride whatever the conditions.
And safety hasn’t been skimped either, the BSA Gold Star 650 comes with disc brakes on both ends and gets a dual-channel ABS as standard making braking safer and more controlled.
Modern Features, Classic Soul
For all its retro charm, the bike doesn’t skimp on contemporary necessities. Its console is a twin-pod semi-digital unit with a USB charger provided for added convenience.
