User Review of Gold Star 650 by Boss

Namaskar Doston,
I have BSA GS 650 legacy edition brought on 11 October 2024 and it's almost 13th months till now and covered more than 12000km on Odo meter.
I used my Pyadu (BSA 650) for daily commute to my office on bumper to bumper traffic in daily but I enjoyed lots with the light in weight, low height, easy cruise, turns and not feel bulky like other I already rode ( in city I got 17 to 22 kmpl and depends on my riding style too).
I covered Ladakh on 21st September 2025 to 2nd October 2025 via Jammu Kashmir to Leh, Leh to Hunder, Hunder to Thang village (zero point/India first village), Hunder to Henle, Henle to Umingla, Umingla to Nyoma , Nyoma to direct Manali ( having experience ghata loops badly damaged and hugged truck load due Jammu landslide and ruff experience while crossing the Atul tunnel towards Manali, experienced rain , damaged sluggish road , everywhere observed slippery till Manali). BSA gave me confidance to drive road and off road and engine braking next level use khardungla, Umingla and many more passes which I had crossed.
Also,I ride my Pyadu on Rajasthan sand and no fear feeling occured during riding.
Comfort yes, you can modify as per your requirement but I used stock seat for Long distance ride.
It's very small brief about my BSA GS 650 , hope it will help you.

About the Reviewer

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.

About the Reviewer

It's an easy-to-maintain, reliable & and value-for-money machine in the 650cc segment. The single-cylinder engine is thumpy & gives good low-end torque. What's surprising is the engine refinement (being the largest single cylinder) & minimal vibrations. Pirelli tyres are good.. suspensions are a bit extra smooth. Service availability needs to be seen in the coming time, as classic legends don't have a very good reputation in that segment.

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.

About the Reviewer

The BSA Gold Star 650 is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern performance, designed for those who appreciate the art of motorcycling. Its timeless design, with retro details like the classic round headlamp and chrome touches, evokes a sense of nostalgia, while its single-cylinder engine offers smooth, reliable power for the modern rider. This bike isn’t just about the ride—it’s about the connection you feel with the road, the hum of the engine, and the freedom of the journey. Riding the Gold Star 650 isn’t just transportation; it’s a soulful experience.

About the Reviewer

I've been riding my BSA bike for 4 months and I'm impressed with its smooth ride quality. The bike's suspension system and comfortable seat have made the long ride easier, even on rough roads. I've recommended BSA bikes to several friends and family members, and they've all been satisfied with their purchases. Keep up the great work, BSA

About the Reviewer

Overall the bike is good. This bike has a good retro look also while riding the bike you get extra confidence because of the Pirelli tires and Brembo breaks. I felt the suspension was also good also I liked the refinement of the engine.
The Low-end torque is also superb. Gear shifting was good. I love the bike.

About the Reviewer

Bike with insane power, just a throttle away to make you fly, the handling is top-notch, and with speed comes great breaking and it was breaking with ease, great ride BSA, it feels blessed to have a retro-themed bike with a modern touch to it just to glide through Mumbai traffic with ease, seating height pretty impressive even for a 6 feet tall guy. Big upp
