SV650 ..pegs are to high and seat postition makes it uncomfortable

When you mention this bike is "jerky", do you mean that it can put off new riders, like in the throttle response in first and second gear? As in unforgiving? Or a different kind of jerkyness? And can a new rider just out of MSF be okay on this as opposed to tamer RE Hunter 350 for example?

I just bought one of these. The seat height is a small issue for me. Any suggestions other than to low seat how to gain an inch or two?

Not supposed to stall like this. Did you fix it?

Picked up my bike new just over a week ago, it stalled when I slowed down approaching a tight corner on a rural road, had the clutch in coasting for a few feet then was going to accelerate gently around the corner, but the bike had other ideas and cut out just like yours did in the video. I got my bike from a dealer who has just taken on BSA's, and they have been pretty good with me previously. Mentioned it to them and they said to see if it happens again. Will see if they can updated the software on the first service. The only other issue is it failed to fire up when starting from cold once (just starter motor turning the engine, did wait for the lights to go as usual before trying to start), switched all off and on again and started fine. Teething issues I guess...

Lovely bike , I have the halcyon green . I do however disagree with you on long distance, this bike is brilliant at long distance, yes your not going to go as fast and motorways aren’t it’s strong point but who wants to go on a motorway any how . I’m just running mine in but I will be going wales , Yorkshire, Scotland 500 and even Europe and Isle of Man . The big advantage is the fuel efficiency, its comfortable seat and great extras like luggage. I’ve just fitted one of those free flowing air filters from Hiscox .

wow!

I reviewed the Goldstar a few months ago, and I experienced one stall during my ~45 minute test ride, though no other issues at multiple stops, junctions and slow manoeuvres, and like you I really enjoyed the bike beyond that. The reason I'm commenting though is someone replied to my video about a month ago to say that BSA have released a software update which solves the stalling issue. I don't have any specifics beyond that unfortunately, and a quick google doesn't show up any articles which is odd because you'd think there'd be a blog post or something for it, but I wanted to raise it anyway. If true, that should be the worst annoyance the bike has on launch sorted. Hopefully it is as simple as that, and the owners are able to enjoy the bike safely going forward.

Thanks for the long-term review. I just bought my 1st Bonnie today, and is the exact model/year as yours. Am so stoked!!! Such a classy machine, with a lot of safety comforts. Can't wait to start putting miles on it and creating memories.....

Dangerous situation these stalling problems. Hope you get them fix for good.

Great looking bike but for that amount of money i would want a lot more bhp.......My old GS 1000 had more horses on it and even then,felt a bit underpowered for long motorway rides when away at weekends etc.....

In my mind, I see this as a contemporary cafe racer. I love mine, but I've only done 76mi/122km so far.

The seat sucks and the music f**ks 😅

Kick bina kahe ka motorcycle 🏍️👎👎👎👎👎

Why not RE?

Great real life review. Just found your channel and subsctibed,

Really keen on this bike. Looks fantastic

I like the Goldstar but this puts me off.

I am liking this bike

Not sure if this applies to BSA Goldstar but BSA shares parts with Jawa. I own a Jawa and that stalls at lower rpms too. I generally keep revving the bike lightly to 2-3k rpm and that prevents it from stalling. I know thats not a solution but that's what I tackled the problem after clocking 20k kilometres.

Do you use low Octane or high Octane fuel for that 75-79 MPG. The emblem on the gas tank has always been plastic which i feel they should have changed to metal 6 years ago other makes have the painted logo on the tank which doesn't reduce the price of the bike but it is there and i prefer that better you pay for what you get.

Which one is better REInterceptor650 or this BSAGoldstar.

I think you are new biker to review on BSA Goldstar.

😂🤣

unnecessary music

Can you please make a video of the scambler x ?

Doesn't sound manly enough.. thanks to all the latest norms..

Music anoyying

WHERE IS THE ENGINE SOUND!!!!

MF bg music

Awesome bike and the queens add cherry on top with the thump of engine ⚡

Very ugly looking motor cycle, won't do much in market

I’ve got a single Mikuni on my 850 mark 2A it’s a no brainer, no priming up, With petrol, dripping dripping all over the place. Efficiency over a little loss of power And much easier starting Ignore the rivet counters mate, nice Bike

It's idling way too fast, about 1600. I own one.

You’ve bought a fifties looking bike with fifties hp and this always seems to be an issue most 350s back then were about the same my b31 had 17 hp just bloody enjoy it

Nice review, be interesting to see a bake off between the new R12nine T and the R9t

Great review, really enjoyed it! . What do think about this being first bike?

What’s your height mate?

Love the mirrors

I still love triumph Bonneville and RE interceptor

Who the crap is he mixing music .....a true biker always wants to listen the thump of a motorcycle

(5:13) A magnificent steam locomotive/tractor out chugging along the road, and you just blow past it? It reminds me of another bike video that I watched that just happened to include a classic 30's Bently passing the other way. Again, no mention. Brits have some of the most beautiful machinery and scenery, and you just rip past it like it's, meh, whatever. Edit: Sorry, I just noticed that you did give him a wave. Thanks for a very entertaining video.

a lot of folks seem to install an xpipe and delete the catalytic converter on the exhaust. do you suggest doing that ?

how is the wind on the t100 at highway speeds? do you find it jarring and buffeting given its a naked bike with no windshield? does the bike feel stable and planted on the highway?

This bike has such a great looking cockpit for POV wide angle videos like this. Something about those double dials.

howdy?. well content~ 😇
