BSA Gold Star 650 Price in Hyderabad

The styling of the bike is what drew me to it . I always wanted to own a BSA and when it became available in india with a modern engine, i just had to buy it . The engine is a single cylinder unit which is derived from BMW Fundura 652cc which was available in India about 25 years ago . The current engine has loads of Torque low down in the rage ( a Feature of Single cylinder engines ) which makes it a breeze to ride at slow speeds and traffic . It has only 5 gears , a sixth would have been better but 5 are enough given the kind of customers the bike is likely to attract . It is not a racy bike but it will still surprise you with its acceleration and easily outrun smaller capacity bikes should you want to do that . The fun in riding the bike is its torquey power delivery and the thump . The sound the bike produces when you decelerate while in gear is phenomenal. Try taking the bike up a Flyover or a bridge at 40 kmpl in 5th gear and you will be love how few RPM are needed to do that without any signs of a let up from the bike . The fuel average can vary from 22 kmpl in city to about 30 on the highway; on an average about 25 kmpl is a fair expectation from it . The bike has a liquid-cooled engine and produces some heat while you are idling it at a traffic stop but nothing that makes things uncomfortable. It also has an assist and slipper clutch in all variants. Overall it is a great bike if you are into Nostalgia and want a large thumping engine to upgrade from your RE 350.

Bought the vehicle on my first visit to the showroom as the vehicle has irresponsible styling and performance. But unfortunately, the vehicle got stopped while running all of a sudden. The vehicle is not registered yet, driven less than 180 km. With great struggle, managed to take the vehicle back home and complained to a service station. Terrible service experience as the team responded after 4 days after recurring calls. The vehicle was given back to me as everything was done and no major issues. The day I took the bike back from service, the vehicle stopped with the same fault on the same day. The battery is discharging while running. I am writing this as I am waiting on the road without any help from the Classic Legend team for towing or repair. Pathetic service and vehicle quality. Suggest people go with a reliable brand. Mahindra's backup is just an eye wash.

Indeed the product truly lives every bit to the Grand Legacy of the highly esteemed brand, BSA.
The motorcycle is truly an exemplary product symbolizing the state-of-the-art engineering and incredible riding experience it gets along with its badge!
I have bought the bike and am extremely satisfied with my decision. I added this product to my small fleet of motorcycles, the RE Classic and Yezdi Adventure.
