This is an interesting bike at a very interesting price.

The new 2024 BSA Goldstar 650 is an interesting bike. It is priced at a price point where it rivals the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650. But before comparing the bike, let me share some photos of this retro looking bike.

In my opinion, this bike built at a point that is highly optimized. It wants to be in the starter bike market, and since it is a new player in the market after exiting the market for years, this bike is using some pretty high quality parts.

Specifications

Firstly, this bike has Front single floating 3200 disc, 2 piston Brembo brakes, and Rear single 255mm, 1 piston Brembo brakes, both with dual channel ABS. It seems to do the job well.

At least for the stopping part, this bike stops like a modern bike, pretty strong…
