Images of the first bike from revived BSA have been leaked online ahead of its official debut on 4th December 2021 at the Motorcycle Live Show in Birmingham, England. It is essentially a modern avatar of the 1960s Gold Star that has been designed in the UK. It will be BSA's first product in over 40 years that will go up against the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650.
Talking about its design, the all-new BSA retro motorcycle will remind you of Triumph Bonneville T120. Its styling is truly British, featuring a round headlamp, twin-pod instrument cluster (with digital inset), flat & long fuel tank, a retro-styled seat, pea-shooter exhaust, and tons of chrome treatment all around the bike.
It also gets a new BSA logo on the fuel tank, a USB charging port, a wide handlebar with mid-set footpegs for an upright riding posture.
Underpinnings of this British roadster consist of a telescopic fork, preload-adjustable rear dual shocks, and spoke wheels (probably of 18-inches) at both ends with tubed tires. Braking will be handled via disc brakes at both ends, aided by a dual-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS).
While technical details of the bike are yet to be revealed, it is likely to get a single-cylinder liquid-cooled 650cc engine, which will be a derivative of the BMW F 650 Funduro's Rotax engine.
Overall, the new BSA looks impressive and will definitely captivate your eyes.
