Expert's Opinion on Gold Star

Overview

A Charming Old-School Roadster

• Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) made a comeback to India with the Gold Star 650
• The retro roadster is powered by a 652cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled, engine, which makes it a very unique bike in the Indian two-wheeler market
• And the bike’s retro aesthetics with the round LED headlight, rounded tank design and the chrome treatment make it a standout on the road

Design

Filled With Retro Vibes

• The round headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, chrome elements and the twin-pod cluster give a proper retro appeal
• The retro bike looks quite muscular and has a good road presence
• Build quality and fit and finish levels feels very premium
• The BSA badges on the engine case and side panel are stickers, and feel cheap up close

Performance & Mileage

Smooth and Torquey

• The 652cc, single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine provides smooth acceleration
• Has good mid-range grunt post the 3500rpm mark
• The roadster accelerated from 0-100kmph in 6.44 seconds, which is decent for a retro roadster
• Slight vibrations can be felt around 110kmph
• Motor is not very tractable in city traffic conditions
• Heavy clutch action but gearshifts are very slick

Handling

Heavy Handler

• Despite the 201kg kerb weight, the bike feels quite light when on the move
• It takes a bit of effort to tip the bike into corners
• Feedback from the brakes is quite sharp; maybe a bit too sharp for this bike
• Using both the front and rear brakes at the same time could improve the braking experience
• The Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres offer decent grip on dry surfaces but don’t offer much confidence in the wet

Ride Quality

Feels Quite Plush

• The soft suspension setup allows the bike to tackle bad road conditions very well
• The ride quality is very plush in the city
• Due to the quick rebound at the rear, the bike feels bouncy at high speeds over undulated roads

Comfort & Storage

Comfy Roadster

• The flat and well-padded seat is pretty comfortable
• The upright riding position leads to a comfortable riding experience on the highway as well as in the city
• The 780mm seat height makes the bike accessible for riders of all heights

Features

Useful Set Of Features

• Gets two USB charging ports (both Type A and Type C) along with a 12 Volt socket; pretty convenient on an everyday basis
• The visibility of the digital insets in the twin-pod instrument console is not that great, especially when it is sunny

Verdict

Quite A Unique Retro Roadster!

• The BSA Gold Star has a pretty unique positioning in the Indian two-wheeler market as a 652cc, single-cylinder engine. The retro roadster is pretty likeable with its potent engine, classy retro styling and overall good build quality. For someone looking for a 650cc, single-cylinder retro roadster, then the Gold Star is a good choice.
