BSA Motorcycles, a symbol of British heritage, made its mark in North-East India by delivering the first BSA Gold Star 650 to Arunachal Pradesh MLA Oken Tayeng. Launched in India on August 15, 2024, the Gold Star 650, with its retro styling and modern engineering, stands as a tribute to BSA’s motorcycling legacy, dating back to 1903. Tayeng, an advocate of adventure tourism, expressed his excitement, calling the bike “a perfect match for Arunachal’s rugged beauty.”
Equipped with a powerful 652cc engine, offering 45.6 PS and 55 Nm of torque, the Gold Star 650 features top-tier components like Brembo brakes and Pirelli tyres, merging classic aesthetics with cutting-edge technology. “This bike represents a bridge between history and modern motorcycling,” said Ashish Singh Joshi, Director of BSA Company.
With adventure biking gaining popularity, Itanagar’s growing market for premium motorcycles is set to embrace the BSA Gold Star 650. The city’s proximity to scenic landscapes and passion for two-wheelers positions Itanagar as a strategic hub for BSA’s expansion in the region. Priced from Rs 2.99 Lakh, the BSA Gold Star 650 is available at select dealerships, reaffirming the brand’s resurgence in India.
