It would be a boring old world if we all liked and bought the same thing. If you like it then get it simples

Hey Richard; There's another British man's channel "Mindful Motorcyclist" who loves his BSA like you do. They are beginning to grow on me too, but we haven't any in the U.S. yet. Have a great day.! CHEERS!! Illinois,USA

Hey Larry, yes, he has now buggered off to Spain. Bloody infidel 😆. I was hoping to get together with him to make a video but alas, that won't happen in the short term I guess. You have a great day too 👍

Hi Richard, another great video from you sir. I just love your laid back approach to the video content and life in general. Keep them coming. Ride safe!

Hi Kenneth, you should consider doubling up on the bike scene 😆, as I say, you can't take the money with you 👍

Well Done BP, I love the way you go about explaining the differences, no two bikes are the same, each bike for a different day, thank you again Richard for sharing your bikes and their differences with us definitely see you soon Ted NW Biker (Bay Bimbler)

Thanks Michael for the feedback 😄

You can't really compare a twin or a four to a single, there different animals. Before buying my GoldStar i tried the Interceptor and loved it but then i tried the BSA and fell for the big thumper and it's character and I've never been disappointed. I really also like the W800 and the T100 both more expensive by a few thousands. If i was to change my GoldStar and I've no plans to do so i would choose the W800 again for its character and its authenticity.

Completely agree Ian, and the W800 with its geared cam drive is quite unique for todays way. I love the BSA, what a great thumper that does not act like one 😆

Probably the best review I have seen on the BSA. I currently own a interceptor. I like it a lot. But I want the BSA Goldstar. Why?? I think it's the beautiful view over the bars, the gorgeous sound of a big single. .I recently sold a Ariel 500cc Red Hunter that I had from school years, I'm retired now. So I had many days. I miss the big single 😪

Peter, do not waste any time. Gop get one if funds are available. Get one now, they are lovely. And thanks for the compliment on the review. That is good to know from my perspective.

Well done Richard and well said 😊😊 Yes it’s a very contentious issue with people but the BSA is a lovely bike as is the interceptor etc but as you say we all like different things as you say Love the video Phil

Thanks Phil 👍

the big singles (preunits) hark back to the fifties not the sixties. the enfield is more a unit style from the sixties

It looks like used prices are coming down as there are 9 bikes at or below £5k on Autotrader today. The new lower starting price of £5,999 for the shadow black and highland green versions has definitely affected used values.

Hi Jerry, you are right. I have just had a look on AT Bikes and the prices are sub 5k. Interesting. That said, I thought the Gold Star was a little over priced and then the Black Shadow at 6k was released. This sort of brought it into the right place in the market space and furthermore, I am sure I have seen a special offer on a brand new for £5600. Now, £5600 is a great price 👍

Says it all. Great 👍

That's what being in a hurry does , makes you look silly.

I'm betting that bulky and ugly radiator can be switched out with a less bulky and smaller factory radiator from a new Triumph Bonneville T100, problem solved. Who has the mechanical guts to try and then report back? Cheers.
