Detailed Specs of BSA Gold Star 650 Revealed in Official TVC

The BSA Gold Star 650 is scheduled to launch soon in the UK. Ahead of its debut, the official specs of the new bike have been revealed.

BSA Motorcycles recently reintroduced their iconic Gold Star at the Motorcycle Live Show in the UK. Their new bike retains its old-world charm with lots of chrome accents, but unlike its predecessors, it will be powered by a standard 650 cc engine only. Earlier, during its production days, between 1938 to 1963, the Gold Star would come equipped with engines ranging from 350 cc to 500 cc. After its launch, recently, BSA launched the official TVC of the Gold Star 650. You can check out the video below.

Chrome accents are available around the headlamp housing, and on the fuel tank, and the exhaust pipe.

Theres a twin-pod-shaped instrument cluster that houses the analog speedometer and tachometers along with a small LCD multi-function display. There are multiple color options available, like Insignia Red, Silver Sheen (legacy Edition), Midnight Black, and Highland Green. The total weight of the Gold Star 650 is at 213 kgs, and with a wheelbase at 1,425 mm, and seat height at 780 mm, the BSA Gold Star seems like a promising cruiser.
