The BSA Gold Star | The World Beater Returns

The BSA Gold Star has finally arrived!
60 years after the Gold Star ceased production, can BSA recreate that old magic to become a worl beater onceagain?
And how does it compare to the Royal Enfield Interceptor and to a lesser extent, the Triumph Bonneville T100?

Takes me back to 1973 when I was 17. My best friend owned a Gold Star and we had been for a swift half (just the one, officer) with me riding pillion. He stopped at the trafiic lights and I was totally relaxed and day dreaming. As he pulled away, I rocked gracefully backwards and if it wasn't for my feet lodging in his armpits, I would have been left sitting in the road! Happy days. Another great review, Freddie.

[@cameronvallejo4157]

Funny memory, sounds like my first ride as a pillion with my dad haha

The Indians have managed to produce a bike that exactly captures the spirit of the old Goldstar, and dare I say it; is even better than the original. Well done.

[@nickduffy8482]

Freddie, I’ve watched about 6 reviews of the Gold Star that came ahead of yours, including the MF, but only now do I have a proper feel for what this bike is all about. It’s not just about the specifications or the nuts and bolts, it’s all about the feelings and the sense of occasion that the bike invokes when you ride it. The modern retro motorcycles are more like lifestyle accessories than just modes of transport and no one puts that point across better than you. There’s basically nothing wrong with any of them; it comes down to how they make you feel. Another great start to my Sunday morning, thank you Freddie & Monica.

[@tonyparker7356]

Might as well buy an SR400 and pop a different exhaust on it then stick a BSA badge on the tank from eBay. At least the Yamaha has some heritage.

Hello, from Yosemite. Back in the early 80'had a late 60's BSA. Don't recall the year, but I do recall the tank was all chrome, with the badge, of course. Anyhow, I'm a little over halfway through your video, wanted to post that.... because of you, I'm gonna get one! Had no idea they were out (I do think you may have made a comment on one of you're other vids.. possibly). Just got my 442 Rocket, was gonna grab the new KZ you posted about not too long ago buuuut...think it's gonna be this BSA, LOVE the tank/badge! It's old new! Thank you Freddie and Monika!

[@FreddieDobbs]

All the way over in Yosemite, great to hear from you!🙂 Really glad you enjoyed the video and the fact you used to own an old BSA must make the return of the brand even more special!

[@SQTierHog]

@@FreddieDobbs Of all the bikes I've owned, original ones, the BSA was the most unique. However, the BSA was only compared to Harley, Triumph, KZ 900/100, Kawa GPZ 550, Honda 550 Four. Now, had I had a Norton, Ariel Square Four, Matchless, woulda been different. But, yes I'm thrilled the BSA is here!

Freddy, why on earth does no one ever think to mention a W800 as a modern classic and competition for theses bike? i think you definitely need to reach out and get your hands on a new one! in fact if anyone reads this can supply one, let Mr Dobbs borrow it please! ;)

[@mickcresswell1031]

Great video, Freddie, as always! Love how you focus on the emotional ‘feel’ the bike gives you - for me, that’s the key to motor biking. It’s the way a bike makes you feel that’s most important, not the stats and figures, or where it’s made. Well done and keep it up!

[@mantarayal]

I think (as do probably tens of thousands) that this review is just another reason why we smile when we see another vid pop up. I love this review as I love a vid on where to get a coffee. Entertaining...informative...funny...and fun. From a couple who love bikes, and cheap travel. 💙 Love from NZ as always, and good luck. And that BSA rocks and will sell big time. It's gorgeous.

[@soobash]

Thanks for a great review. BSA bicycles were legendary in my native country.. Then I experienced the RE Bullet, a classic British design in India. I toured extensively in India on modern Japanese bikes 'cause I did not trust the old Bullet to let me down somewhere deep in the Indian countryside. I think your cinematography beautifully captures the nostalgia these retro bikes have come to represent. Hopefully I can rent this BSA when I visit the Himalayas next.

If you can know how to handle the few quirks of that bike, it can take you along for a long time. Yezdi Roadking rider here, which has been dependable even to this day since 1995.

Thanks for your unique Freddie perspective. The dials actually go the same as everyone else's, clockwise. They just start at the 2:00 o'clock instead of the 7:00 o'clock point right? The important bit you covered was in an overview manner which and focuses on the riders experience.

[@richardstory2423]

Great review Freddie! Interesting that you put it directly neck and neck with the Enfield. Mr flyer portrayed it as a lot more dynamic and better built than the interceptor, in fact halfway to the triumph. That is praise indeed as he owns an interceptor. Nice touch with the cigar.

[@peterprior1]

Thanks for the video. I fancied one since they were announced but worry about the delays and company. I also can't part with my RE Classic500 at the moment and only have room for one bike. My Dad has had a 1959 BSA A10 Super Rockets for about 25 years. My parents have been all over Europe on it. I love that bike so the draw of the brand is strong. Thanks again. Peter

[@raze94]

Royal Enfield and Triumph sell thousands of bikes a year and BSA at the moment just have a few demo bikes going around. Looks like a great bike but only time can tell what these bike are like once they get some real miles on them. I’ll wait for long term owner reviews before I decide to put my money on a bike that still has no track record on reliability and after sales service. If I was buying a bike today I’d put my money on more established brands with years of production, history, and service I can research and study. In the past 2 years I’ve owned a Himalayan that has its share of problems and currently own a Street Twin that hasn’t been trouble free. That being said BSA would seem like a huge risk with just their first production bike in decades. As always I enjoy the content Freddie. Stay safe and keep ‘‘em coming. Cheers

[@simonwalker7957]

We mustn’t conflate this BSA brand with the original, unlike RE there is no BSA DNA in this brand, it’s only marketing. Like you, I await user reviews and RE’s response; I’d love to see a RE 650 Classic single but realise that’s wishful thinking and it’ll more likely use their twin but it is top heavy.

[@duncan.5228]

Beautiful video. Took me right back to the 60's when I started biking. Wonderful memories.

[@droidster888]

I was in the market for a new bike earlier this year, this and the Interceptor were two on my list. With all the confusion surrounding the Gold Star I eventually bought a Street Scrambler to go alongside my 76 Bonneville. I love the way you approach the review, about how it makes you feel riding it, way more important than performance stats. Same with my bikes, it’s all about the vibe. I’ll test ride one in the spring (it’s winter here now in the Austrian Alps and snow, ice and salted roads are the order of the next months!) Have lurked on your channel for a while but really enjoyed this review, keep it up fella!

[@velocettedude]

Hello Freddie, The last BSA Goldstar Built by BSA was in 1972 and it was a 500 B50ss Goldstar. Admittedly Not the DBD variant but that was the last time BSA used the name Goldstar and they ceased production in 1973. A friend of mine in Detroit Michigan has got a 1963 BSA Goldstar DBD 500 Still in it's crate and it's brand new and must be the only one in existence. I can send you photo's if you wish to see it. I like BSA's and i have just bought a 1970 BSA 650 Firebird Scrambler with the hi level pipes and i think the power output would be similar to the new Goldstar. I think the bike you are road testing is £6,800-00 as is the black one and the silver one with the silver mudguards. The bike in highland green is £6.500-00 and the legacy edition is £7;000-00 and it is silver with chrome mudguards and handlebars and polished cases. A good report and an enjoyable watch. Thumbs up. Cheers.

Part of our family bike lore is of my grandad riding pillion through the cotswolds on my dads’ Triumph speed twin with one hand holding his flat cap on and the other holding a large jar of picked onions. Knowing my dad, he wouldn’t have been holding back on the throttle either 😂

Really glad you like it, I think it's one of those bikes that people will go for because of its looks over everything. I do like singles. I hope confidence will grow in the company and there aren't any more delays getting them on the road. Sadly not for me, but then neither is the Interceptor so it's not an anti BSA thing just a style thing. Good to see you on the roads again in the UK countryside 👍

Great review. The major element that gives the Enfield the edge is a robust supply network. One that they are expanding themselves, with plenty of experienced dealerships used to the servicing and spares. I'd be happier to pay a few more hundred for the premium parts it should have. Transfers on the engine casings dissapoint me.
