Having been available in international markets for a while now,  BSA Gold Star has been launched in India at Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom, India). The renowned heritage company has officially entered the Indian market and will be available for sale at select Jawa/Yezdi dealerships across the country. 

Classic Legends' Gold Star boasts a modern classic design and features a round headlight, curved fenders and a large amount of chrome. In terms of features, BSA has equipped the Gold Star with a semi-digital instrument cluster and a USB charger. Powering the Gold Star is a 652cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine delivering 45bhp at 6,500rpm and 55Nm at 4,000rpm, coupled with a five-speed gearbox. 

The motorcycle is equipped with a telescopic fork at the front and twin shock absorbers at the rear. Braking duties are taken care of by a 320mm disc at the front and 250mm disc at the rear along with dual-channel ABS. The Gold Star has been launched with 5 colours and prices for these will range from Rs 3 lakh to Rs 3.34 lakh (ex-showroom, India). It will rival the likes of the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 which is available at a starting price of Rs 3.03 lakh (ex-showroom, India). 

Anand Mahindra, Chairman, Mahindra Group said, "Bringing BSA to India is about sharing a piece of world motorcycling history with India. That indomitable spirit of BSA, a brand built in the fires of battle, is imbued in the new Gold Star that I hope all of you have a chance to experience."
