The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
A big 652 cc liquid-cooled single with 55 Nm at 4,000 rpm, so it has a proper thumper shove from low revs rather than needing to be wrung out.
Brembo brakes (a 320 mm front disc with a twin-piston floating caliper) and Pirelli Phantom Sportscomp tyres come standard, which is premium kit for a retro roadster.
A 782 mm seat and a claimed 201 kg in working order keep it approachable for shorter riders.
The look is the whole point: round headlamp, twin shocks, 36-spoke rims and a flat bench seat nod straight to the original Gold Stars.
Priced per colour, it starts at Rs 3,34,950 ex-showroom Delhi in Highland Green, with Insignia Red at Rs 3,41,950 and Shadow Black at Rs 3,45,950.
Worth knowing
Only a five-speed gearbox, where Royal Enfield's 650 twins have six, so motorway cruising is a little busier.
BSA's specifications list ABS as the only electronic aid, with no traction control, riding modes or digital display mentioned.
A 12 L tank at about 25 kmpl (WMTC) works out to roughly 300 km on paper, which is short for a bike with touring appeal.
The Legacy Edition in Sheen Silver costs Rs 25,000 more than Highland Green, and BSA's page does not say what the extra money buys beyond the paint and edition.
