What a great partnership between UK and India, which will also hopefully flourish with Norton. There’s so much negativity about our heritage together but beautiful to see that India embraces and appreciates aspects of it enough to recreate it in such a sympathetic way. I really wish it every success and that we can strive to create other endeavours together.

Looks decent, so nice to see the BSA tank badge back on the chrome sided tank, in my opinion one of the nicest tank badges of all, looks to have some nice bits Brembo brakes, ABS, nice uncluttered dashboard though the upside down speedo and rev counter will be interesting for some people, I like the brushed stainless exhaust it looks good, should be an interesting ride with a 650 single I'll have to take one for a spin when they come out, I can see it being a good seller with the boom in retro style bikes there's a lot of people out there that like the simpler styling of the 50's/60's bikes, all in all it looks really nice, well done.

Brilliant, I love this, well done sir, I can feel that you love the BSA and it’s heritage... the bikes look really cool too, and like you say it’s about what make you smile...

Having had most of the original old B S A's in the 60's and 70's , I love the bikes and would welcome the chance to try one of these. I would add though, back then we traded these second hand for £10 to £20 GBP, but now they are literally many thousands, I doubt though that these will appreciate to that extent. But who knows, cars I used to own in the late 60's 70's and 80's now also sell for many thousands today, but of course everything I personally owned then was made in the U.K.

They did a great job making it look like the old school BSA's. A lot of companies will do a "retro inspired" bike, but I'm always looking for a bike that looks as close to the vintage model as possible. BSA seems to have achieved that. The single cylinder 650 is an interesting choice....can't wait to test ride one. Do we know when they'll be available in the US and how much?

But he will be the first to warn people who want to buy one of his restorations. He warns them they do come with their own headaches and not to be confused with a modern motorcycle. My engine is overbuilt and with proper maintenance and care will last a lifetime. I do agree with him that there is a lot more stuff to break, ie, on board computer, ride by wire, engine mapping, abs brakes, traction control etc. I do however find them at least for me a necessary evil if you will. Both traction control and ABS have saved my bacon before. I would prefer the bike break down rather than me if you get my jest:) Also, when i when i was researching the older classic MG, there was a lot of stuff i found to be deal breakers. Stuff like having to drop the bottom of the engine to change out the oil and get to the oil filter. Apart from my high tech accessories , my bike is pretty easy to do the maintenance. Changing all fluids / adjusting valves etc. I am truly enjoying my Moto Guzzi. I agree with you get what you really want. Ride on!

Back in the 1950s when I was 20, our little group consisted of a BSA 500 Goldstar, an Ariel 650 twin, a BMW R69S 600 sport, A BMW 250 single and me on a BMW R50 500. I always fancied my pal's Goldstar and we swapped bikes one day. The vibration of the Goldie was absolutely shocking and we swapped back after just a couple of miles. OK, the two bikes are chalk and cheese but I only liked the look of the Goldie after that. The 250 BMW was also a shocking vibrator even though its' engine was rubber mounted. But with modern technology I presume the dreaded vibes are no longer an issue anymore. Incidentally, the R69S just beat the Goldie over a 1/4 mile sprint.

I got excited when I saw the original machines analogue Smiths clocks, it’s a shame it’s not air cooled as well, the rad detracts from the original handsome simplicity that they have actually captured very well. Generally nice looking, especially the shape and size of the barrel and head, engine cases, and big bore pipe. The nearer a manufacturer gets to the original aesthetics the better; legislation and safety considered, and the more I like it, this is perhaps the nearest yet. Nice job.

@@mattdog1982 haha that's true. But i believe with modern tech vibrations will be not a concern. The power figures are also similar. I own a re classic 350 so I wonder how different would it really be:)

The Rawness is what most appealing to me. The simple Radiator cap made me give it another 1 star to the whole look. Now that's where serious enthusiasts must put their money in. Not a bike guy but if I were to buy a bike, this will be it.

Loved seeing this at Motorcycle Live. Really did look ace!! 🙂

Great to see the BSA brand alive and kicking again....I love the bike...but some things I am not keen on....the rad is a bit bulky....would love to see more bare alloy on the engine. But worse aspect....the placement of the rear number plate and tail lamp....to low down....and the 45deg angle of the number plate.....whats that about.....needs to be more vertical. Front mudguard looks great....but the rear is to fat...to short and to high above the wheel. May sound like I dont like the bike.....wrong....I love it and hope it sells real well and that the BSA brand is again a huge success. But with attention to those comparatively minor things.....its winner.....ROLL ON BSA. An Edit to add....Ashish why make the pressing in the head lamp bowl for an amp meter....and not fit one.....it would have looked so cool....yes add to the price but by very little....I bought one from india for my 2020 T100 Bonnie.....£13 GBP....looks great.....people often comment on it..... I say again.....its a stunning looking machine.....please dont think I am being negative.....its just that it could be even better. Long live BSA. Nick in the UK.

Yep, and some of the things you've pointed out would be really easy to fix. Not the radiator, obviously, but with a bit of a 'shave and a haircut' I think it could look exceptional!

Good luck to BSA with this motorcycle, and those that follow. Euro 4 and Euro 5 have killed motorcycle design with the questionable need for large ugly radiators, but not for Royal Enfield who make beautiful air-cooled twin cyclinder motorcycles. I may buy a 650 Gold Star if BSA Mahindra make an air-cooled one. So that will be never.

Keeping the nostalgia alive I believe the new one looks nicer, though people will always find reasons to downplay it eg. Radiator, not enough chrome etc. OH ya.. The BSA logo is just glorious

I can't stop looking at it! Beautiful 🤩!!!!!!

Thanks to ALL who made this presentation. AT last.. up close and comfortable. Have an original Gold Star. So, was more than anxious to get a detailed view of the new. Very informative..nice views. YEAH.. test ride one? Ahhh. Sounds like a fairy tale right now. Love the thought of getting one, but parts? New bike? Scattered dealers again? All new bikes such as this...something happens.. need parts. A little leery until we learn more.. and I'm sure that's forthcoming. TY

My first motorcycling experience was a Gold Star... 4 years old sitting a top the tank riding with my dad. Baby Bell helmet and all. Sure miss him and that bike. I think they'd jail him for that now for abuse or endangerment or some crap. 60 years later I'm still riding. I want one of these. Really well done. Hope they're coming to the states.

Fond memories of the DD34 that beautiful twitter of the engine on overlap. Castrol R in the air, and the power when you twist the throttle neve stopped exciting. Well done BSA, too bad I'm too old to ride one these new beauties.

Wow a dream came true. I've been dreaming of a big thumper with classic looks, this is it :) I am going to buy one if it is possible here in Sweden.

Authentic and sympathetic presentation…!

Nice job BSA lets see this iconic badge grow.

This put a smile on my face.

I look forward to hearing the machines on the road. Good luck!
