I think this looks incredible in black🖤 If BSA smash out a great marketing campaign, this’ll sell very well. Loved the video🙌🏻

Bless you for helping that lost puppy! My dog was lost in a strange city a while ago. It was devastating. Fortunately, a kind person such as yourself found him, and called us. What joy that wonderful person gave us. Thank you!

That's really a nice review. I've got to agree there's something about a modern 650 thumper that makes you smile the more you ride one. The bike needs some chrome. Maybe the sides of the tank and a more swept back chrome exhaust system. Thanks for looking after the dog.

Love your riding in the rain video.. reminded me of the time I got caught out on a stormy day.. just got onto a highway to head the 75 mile ride home and the skies opened up and the rain poured down and I was immediately soaking wet.. and laughing about it to myself.. when I noticed a State Trooper pulling up beside me in the left lane of the highway... He looked over at me and I looked at him and just gave a big shrug of my shoulders because after all what else could I do.. and I saw him laugh as he pulled ahead of me and rolled off into the distance.. and at that point I still had 73 miles of a very wet ride ahead of me... Loved every moment of it. Also love all your biking videos.. a tomboy a bit Fan from Pennsylvania ,USA.

Hey Deimante. Good review on a beautiful retro classic even in crappy weather. Very nice single cylinder thump. Just one point… most speedos run clockwise, it’s just that on the BSA , the numbers start at a different point on the dial. Cheers and safe riding, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

Another great review, Tomboy. Yours are the best and I always look forward to your real world road tests. The fact that you took the BSA out in the rain and didn't wait for the odd sunny day tells us more about the bike and about you as a reviewer than others who have reviewed the BSA 650. I don't mind riding in the rain, but hate having to clean my bikes afterwards because even a jet wash doesn't totally remove the dirt and wheel cleaner and plenty of microfibre cloths are necessary.

I bougfht the Silver Legacy Edition, I already have a blacked out machine in my XL883N, so for the BSA I fancied a machine that I can polish. So far after two months of ownership the Gold Star is a great handler, I'm still running her in so I'm keeping the revs at a maximum of 3000 rpm in any gear. Due to the wet summer so far, I haven't taken the Gold Star out of the garage much.

First class review! Of all the new retro-style bikes on the market these days, this is the one that interests me most. It's a bit academic though, because I ride a classic AJS and won't be changing. Nevertheless, this was a very good video and shows off the BSA well.

@daveco1270 4 ай бұрын

Ive never seen the blacked out version of the new BSA. Normally I don't like the blacked out pipes and such, but it really works for this bike. I bet it would look cool with a solo sprung seat and a ridged frame conversion. I wonder if BSA will make a bobber at some point.

Tomboy The dog rescue was priceless! Adorable little dog. The BSA is a really classic looking motorcycle. I think they are doing a great job with the styling. I put it right at the level of Triumph's T 100 lineup as far as the fit and finish. I would choose the BSA over a Royal Enfield as far as that goes. I'm glad to see the name come back as a British Brand even though they manufacture it in India. Great review Lady! I love it. Ride SAFE and BE safe! 👍👍🌹

Hey thank you! Quite honestly the best review on this bike so far i think....not going on about what it has or has not, the slight imperfections here and there and the decals not made of solid material like 50 years ago....and not fitting where that reviewer wants it be..... This bike is an extraordinary first effort of touching the nostalgia streak in many bike enthusiasts....i think mahindra brought BSA into the 21st century with some pretty clear authenticity....who cares about that its made in India....there's really nothing faux about this bike....i just hope they invest in more versions of this bike....well done to manufacturers i say.... But back to your review...yes you've completely understood where this machine fits....well done 🙏

Great review, and your conclusion was spot on, and the reason it is primarily a UK market bike. It is coming to NZ soon, and if I was financial enough, it would be a bike I would buy, for those reasons you said...I had BSA singles in my early days.

@millinutz 4 ай бұрын

If you're grinning in your Helmet and having fun..., that must be the best advertisment for BSA they could ask for. I want a BSA and would most likely buy one if I had room in my garage, but unfortunately, they are not yet available in my home country. So, that leaves me time to clear out my garage and sell a bike. Love the bike to bits, it's the best of all the Retro Classics, but not in this Black. I prefer the Red version (as I once had a red Lightning). Good review, as always, and i'm sure I will have one... one day!

Personally I'm not a blacked out bike lover so i bought the black/chrome version a little more money but for me the stripes make all the difference. Being a 650 single it has so much character and i find it very playful but it's each to their own.

Love proper looking motorcycles like we used to ride but the retro manufacturers need to make two versions , like a lot of manufacturers do. We need tall versions with longer reach from seat to foot pegs and a couple of inches at least on suspension. for all of us over six feet. If they stuck a 21 inch on front or 19inch and rear 18 with a longer fork and rear shock. I would buy one.

At 16:30 Bluroc motorcycle 125cc.. Nice pretty bike, the BSA, but seems a wee bit on the chunky side. It's a symptom of the times, with all the restrictions they have to pass. Had a BSA '67 Lightning twin, seemed huge at the time...now not so much. Nice review either way, thanks

the dials move clock-wise, like all other dials. They just start at a different position which is unique. Some will like it, some won't.

While the Royal Enfield 650cc parallel twin engine is a buttery smooth unit, not sure what to expect from the single cylinder 650cc Goldstar. The BSA Goldstar seems overpriced by 20 to 25 thousand rupees in India!

@chadr9791 4 ай бұрын

I had been wondering what the new Gold Star was like ,,, I think a little unexciting, my old Gold Star from 50 years ago was more exciting I think ,and just maybe the Jawa is also more exciting, but it was raining so that might explain it.

Hi Tomboy , do you tell about the vibration produced by Engine over 100KMPH speed? and also the amount of Heat generated? This bike is available in India market from August 15th 2024 onwards, you feedback about Vibration and Heat Management is appreciated 🙂 because being above 600c and single cylinder😕

Brother in the other review video from the Philippines, the reviewer said that the vibrations are there but they are less than the RE500 , so in my opinion if you have heart asking for this Bike. Then take a test ride when she launched in India and buy...!! There are fewer who don't follow the mob. Your BSA will stand out in world of DugDug REs. Buy one brother. ( From Bharat, jay hind)

The engine looks good but what I don't understand is why they chose to keep the worst looking part on the engine silver. That weird part that shoots off at a 45 degree angle looks far less than good but instead of hiding it by making it black they chose to paint everything around it black but paint it silver or silver grey. If I ever get this bike I am going to paint that ridiculous part black too so that hopefully no one will notice it.

@@tomboyabit Shame! 🐕🐶😊 About final points... I think BSA is going to appeal more to those influenced by the brand than those who experienced it. I'm the target sales audience. 55 years old with a Royal Enfield 650 and in the market to spend some more. BSA was long gone when I got into bikes aged 16 in 1985 but they had a hell of a reputation that reached past their glory days. I'm done with speed so other things become appealing such as this bike. Nostalgia for an era I just missed out on because of when I was born. Younger riders than me won't remember BSA at all. Please review a Royal Alloy GP300. Something different. This thing needs a Diamante review. 👍
