DELAYED: BSA UPDATE ON GOLD STAR 650

The brand-new Gold Star 650 from the resurgent BSA factory was supposed to be in dealers this month – but alas, there’s no sign of it just yet. What’s the score?Following the news that Indian automotive giant Mahindra was preparing to reintroduce the iconic brand into Britain, we’ve been eagerly anticipating the chance to finally see a modern BSA in the flesh. And with the announcement of the Gold Star 650 back in December, it was looking like we weren’t going to have to wait too long, with bikes expected to be in dealers by March. But it’s March now, and there’s still no sign of the bikes. What’s the score?Now it has become clear, through official information from BSA, that the Gold Star 650 will be available in dealers from June 2022, with a possibility of them arriving a month earlier, in May 2022.

Thankfully, BSA have made a statement – and although there’s been a bit of a delay, the good news is that it shouldn’t be a long one – with the factory confirming that the Gold Star 650 will be available in dealers at some point in June (if not in May).Speaking about the news, BSA said: “We are currently building our dealer network and hope to share more details on the network as well as the price by May.” While it’s a bit of a disappointment, and isn’t exactly a confidence-inspiring start from the Indian-owned brand, the good news is that the bike’s still happening. And with more details set to be released in the coming weeks (and a press test ride imminent), we’re still excited to see what BSA come up with. Will it be a proper challenger for Royal Enfield’s 650 Twins? Let’s hope so. If you’re keen to know more, you can register your interest on the BSA website.
