Thanks for the act of kindness. I couldn't imagine how I would feel if my dog got lost. Also, another great review. Great work!

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

Sir your video inspired me to look for as much as videos of BSA available on the youtube ahead of the launch in India on 15 th August. Your subscriber.🙋🏼‍♂️

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!

I think you’ve summed it up quite well, very retro bike and genuine UK rain😊

RESPECT ,Dog first

The shadow black is going to be a top seller 👍...mainly because in black it looks absolutely beautiful. Take care on the road. Peace out ✌️

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.

Looks great in the black and very ready for customizing

Been dreaming of learning to ride a bike for years. But the uk weather really puts me off. Seeing this just makes me want to bite the bullet and do it. Yes, it's miserable and cold, but it does still look like fun.

I will be glad when they start selling this bike in America because I would like to have one some day.

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. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

I love your positive way to describe a rainy ride through the typical british spring 😂❤😊😅

Luv y. For helping the doggy! Wish the bike was a twin!

I love the black colour , I think it looks very stealthy, fun rides at a reasonable price well done for making sure the dog was safe .

This murdered out version is my favorite of the new Gold Stars. Awesome.

Back in Black. I like it! 👍

Wet weather! That’s why I have a top box with a pair of waterproof pants. I think a large capacity single cylinder bike makes a lot of sense with the cost of servicing these days. We are coming into winter in melbourne,Australia.

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.

Thanks for your review . You have beautifully covered all aspects. For me , it shall be the perfect upgradation to my existing BSA B31 350 cc from 1953. Looks and feels similar . ❤

It was a Bluroc 125...from it's vrm. Apparently designed by Bullitt, a Belgium firm and made in China! 😀

Nice common sense review. It also makes a nice change seeing a review in my neck of the woods, you nearly passed my front door! (Pop in for tea next time)

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.

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.

Well done for sorting out the lost pooch, that was very kind. Anyway back to the bike review. It was refreshing to see a bike review done in the rain. Looks a great bike and great value for money. Nice that it handles well in the wet weather. Great review Diemante. Hope you got dried out quickly. Well done 🤓

You rock that low waist jeans like it's 2000s

Good review on a Sunny spring English day Deimante. Impressions of a bike do change compared to the first ride. Take care 'n try to stay dry.

Great review , I owned a couple BSA 650 Thunderbolts back in the 1970's , one chopped one stock ! great bikes !

Aww such a nice motorcycle reviewer well done! I hope they come to the U.S.A. I would really like to test ride one!

That looks great in black ! The bike you overtook looks like a Bluroc Spirit (or Legend) 125.

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! 👍👍🌹

Good summary about "nostalgia". Its known to sell a lot of stuff for no other reason.

I own two bsa air rifles and a old bsa shotgun and I wouldn’t mind adding this to my collection.I’ve never seen this bike before in black out finish it looks awesome. Wet cold weather you can’t beat it.❤

Great review and I love that location under the viaduct.

That speedo is a bit strange but nice bike. Good old UK weather, I know it well riding my 1953 BSA Bantam D1 125cc in Cornwall :)

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.

Nice bike and love your channel, so thanks! The clocks go clockwise though, like all the clocks in any bike you've had. They just start in a different position. Anyone who's driven an eighties Porsche or even an XR3i wouldn't find this noteworthy.

I can learn a new complicated thing but get confused with simple obvious clock 😅 That’s how my brain works sometimes.

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.

The black looks great

I loved this diamante, because you are so respectful of the riders who may love this bike ...for me I'm still undecided I don't like the black exhaust, but that's not important...what is that you give your honest opinion and for me that's all that matters...I just got a new bike after a 49 year break from bikes ...I got a yamaha mt07 it's wild ride ...sadly fell off last Sunday...its shattered my confidence , I'm going out again tomorrow to beat the negative vibes ....wish me luck ....lee down in tge west country ❤ xx

A big single is my favorite for sound and power curve.

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!

Really nice looking bike, Great video 💯

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

Thank you for taking me on a ride Tomboy-a-bit girl👧. I wish we could ride together tomorrow. I guess.lol

I am not a biker but I still enjoyed that a lot. As you said: "England DOES look very pretty in the rain,". I reckon you are a very good motorcyclist. I would not like to ride in the rain as you did.

The rear mudguard looks a little empty as the taillight is positioned low and seems small. Otherwise looks good and classic.

Wow I was long time on this one , thank you very much for the review, by the way the colour of the bike suits you very well 👌

I love it.. That's why we wear leather, 100%. Hey, I live up here in "da nordern mitchigan eh", (hahaha), and we get weather just like that a lot. And I'm very familiar.

beautiful bike, loved it, but I think they should revise the USB ports positioning ... It could be hidden under the bars, it´s a sacrilege to look at this plastic little box "interfering" with the awsome non clock wise dash gauges view .... my opinion .. Cheers and keep riding !!

Does the side mirror is visible in higher speeds? And what’s the mileage?

That’s a nice looking bike, very much like the Triumph T120 Black I had a few years ago.

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.

Ou whoa …. my God what-a fantastic amazing beauty powerful beast … real 🐈 magnet !!! Thank you

Amazing Weather ❤

If you're printing the measurements to the screen anyway, maybe it wouldn't be too much more effort to show weight in pounds, torque in foot/pounds and for extra credit - prices in dollars. Yeah, I can pause and whip out my phone and convert them but.... Am I the only American sub?

THANKS 4 THE RIDE YOUR WONDERFUL AND A GREAT RIDER I ❤️ LOVE THAT BEEZER

My fondest memories are being on the back of my Dad's BSA's .I never wanted to be anything other than a biker from that day on.I would love to show him these new Beeza's ,but unfortunately age and dementia have taken their toll.Well done with dog by the way.

Looks good but can't think of anything else that's good about the bike. Stats don't always matter but that heavy and under powered! Thank you for the review though.

Very good looking bike .

I love All of New The Retro Style Bikes, Makes me nostalgic and I want One, Love You too TomBoy Thanks✌❤🤗

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.

It reminded you of Jawa because they share the same platform lol

wish they made a twin cylinder! now they would have something!

Grinning😀 in your helmet.. I bet you are, I would be too, Tomboyabit. I tried to look up your actual name, but I couldn't find it. Dammit I wish you'd come to America one of these days and check out my pad, I think you'd like my single cylinders, I've got some that I've made right from scratch.

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.

Good review, you got the summary right.

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)

Hell Ya, ya gotta get used to the singles, I love💘em... I don't think I'd be the same without them, period...

Great review,so not my cup of tea,the original will do 60mph in 1st gear & no radiator of course,thanks for sorting out the stray dog too.

First that was a true first class move in calling that dogs owner to tell them you found their dog ,second I've been riding for fourth years and the hole time you were on that bike my eye kept scanning the road ahead of you looking for some one to pull out in front of you as I sure you were as well old habits die hard .

Air/oil cooled would have been much better coz people don't like liquid cool engine.

​@@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. 👍

National treasure.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.you

I wouldn’t like to ride that heavy bike in the wet with only one front disc brake!!

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I like your bike too bad its wet,I look forward to the bsa coming to the U>S>have great day wet

I don't like bike reviews from England because you never get to see what the bike can do on the interstate or freeway or whatever. In America we have interstates where the speed limit is 80 mph and everyone goes about 90. So a bike rider needs to go at least 75 or 80 to keep from getting run over. But in England it's almost always raining and plus most of their roads are little pig trails where the speed limit is about 50 or maybe 60 if you are lucky. So the reviewer has to just putt around at 40 mph all day and thus, you cannot learn anything about how the bike handles at higher speeds and whether it has the capability to keep up with traffic on a fast road. I will be glad when this bike starts selling in the States so that maybe I can get a good review about how the bike does on the highways. For instance, I want to know how bad it vibrates at 80 mph.

@tomboyabit

Ай бұрын

My dear friend from across the pond I assure you we test bikes not ‘40mph all day’. Not many people choose modern classic single for the motorway riding, but it rides 75mph with ease (a little less comfortable above that) and a top speed is a bit over 100 mph.

It is a real lost dog… I suppose BSA always was a bit of a lost dog… strayed from the hunt… despairingly looking for a new home!
