BSA Goldstar Extensive Review | Marathon Edition!

[@melfzs]

Great review Spicy, it's a lovely looking bike,I'm tempted, but I'm waiting to see the scrambler in the dealerships, it looks excellent in that yellow! 👌

Good review - comparing likes with likes and with an eye to what the bike is designed to do. Thanks👍

The plan was always to build a BSA factory in the U.K

It does have a slip&assist clutch. Very nice video!

Tempted to buy my dad one, his stable is I 72 Norton commando and a harley electro glide both are abit too much for him At his age so this bike at that price ticks the boxes for a surprise. Was looking at a RE as I know he likes them but this well looks better to my eyes and price point is comparable. Tempting. I'll stick with my 1990 fzr 600 Genesis lol

There's a guy on KZbin who removed his baffle then fitted a de-cat pipe...and had to re-fit the baffle coz it was too noisy!..all the silencing is in that bloody great catalytic converter..and Euro 5 is the reason it runs so hot & has an on/off throttle..a Fuelx Lite will cure that!!👍

Which version do you have? I notice that the fins on the engine appear to have been machined to reveal bright alloy edges ... but I can't see a similar finish on any of the bikes which are listed on the BSA website. It's really apparent at 17:45.

Doing my test next year, my choice is going to be the BSA, or RE interceptor or Guerrilla

[@akasa231]

Engine response should improve when it's run in with a few thousand miles on it..!?

[@twinpotracer]

serious comment. This is a shit bike! they should have stuck with the sr500 engine of 1999

[@spicy110]

A Yamaha engine?

[@BrianLesliePerry]

l don't think this is a Shyte bike, however, l believe calling it a Goldstar is a bit of a stretch...the only think Goldstar about it is the Tank Badge. apart from that whats the connection.

[@twinpotracer]

@@spicy110 yep, bsa regal built in 1999 a 500cc using the SR engine. It was crowned the BSA Gold SR. McLaren designed the frame

[@spicy110]

I did not know they did that! Fair.

[@ericwigart2861]

Nice detailed balanced comment, very helpful - keep going😊
