The BSA Gold Star - Truly, Madly, Deeply
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Who thought it would be such a controversial motorcycle ? I loved it from the first time I saw it. But I looked at it with my eyes wide open and for what it was. A modern take on an old bike. As such it was never going to live up to the expectations of the old guard. But this is a recreation built to a price, unlike others such as the Norton commando or even the triumph Bonneville. The main question for me was of course the senses test. I think these were answered in my last review. In this review I am returning the bike after a few days of marvellous rides. The more I ride this bike, the more I loved it.

Nice to see a classic style 1950s bike with 2023 performance, RE take note.
Absolutely 😁 very rideable 😁
Smaller bikes are the future. 20 mph speed limits and cameras getting very abundant in Suffolk now.
I thought you were going to give us a surprise ending ; an announcment that you had bought the bike and then you both ride blissfully off into the sunset 😂. But to be serious , I'm glad that it performs well for a single and I'm sure it'll be a grand bike for a lot of people .
With a few modifications [exhaust , mudguards ] , I think I could get along with it , then I could cruise the streets challenging Panther riders to a race .
😂😂😂😂😂 brilliant 😂😂😂 thanks DS 😁
We need another go-fund-me setting up for TAYM so he can buy this. We can add it to the go-fund-me for his Rocket 3 too
@@PhilipBallGarry 😂😂😂😂😂
One plus for the BSA must be the 24,000 mls valve check intervals.
Absolutely 😁thanks TB 😁
That's massive gap between valve adjustment & I'm sure alot of people consider this.A RE is 10000km if you do high kms BSA be at top of the list.
@@ruahinesrider the Vstrom is similar and I thought the RE was 3k miles because mysteriously they changed it to 6k for the super meteor 🤔
@@TAYM Oh 😲 I had a Euro 4 model & it was 500km & then 10000km.I had mine done at 10k just before crash & one was a bit tight & rest ok & same at 500km one was a bit tight.Handbook says 10k.
I saw Derek's video that said 6000km & it would be piece of mind to have done that regularly & do it yourself every 6000km & take it to Dealership every 10000km as per the manual says till warranty is finished then do it every 6000km.
@@TAYM I think 🤔 it is 10000km & says that in manual & Derek's video was more a recommendation from a RE mechanic that's why Super Meteor is 10000km.
Bonjour mon ami cela faisait un petit moment merci pour cet essai il n'y a rien a rajouter juste merveilleuse.......😉😁✌️🇨🇵
Thanks Alain 😁 how are you 😁
Nice final video showing it's ability to get a wriggle on and overtake down those skinny ,slippery, back roads (typical Suffolk and Essex highways - Lol). Big shop with nice people and packed with bikes, but golly! it's a trek to and from by foot. I hope you had someone collect you and take you home.
😂😂😂 I did, I left Buddy there whilst I had it 😁 thanks B😁
It's all about the torque sounds very good for a single plenty of pulling power great review Mr Taym ride safe and keep well.
Keep them videos coming😊.
Thanks SS 😁
Enjoyed your reviews of the BSA Mr Taym and thought you're pretty much spot on with what you said.
I'm close to 3000 miles on mine now and just love it.
Cheers
Old-n-Goldie
Excellent 😁 thanks OnG 😁 I take it it’s away for winter now? 😁
There's still a chance Goldie may have a last run out before the salt appears on the roads but he's pretty much done for this year.
Harold the Himalayan is giving great service though, he's making an excellent winter ride so I can keep getting out when it's not too dire.
Cheers.
@@old-n-Goldie marvellous 😁
Sorry to hear you had an incident with your lovely SV Mr.TAYM.I certainly hope everything works out.
Thanks BR 😁 still waiting for the insurance 😁
Thank you. Was doubting buying one. Now? Will still want a red one.
Thanks RS 😁 lovely bike I think 😁
Looks to be a wonderful bike. I certainly could be sucked in. What I’m curious about is the dealer network and whether it’s made it to the States. Here in Idaho I’m in a bit of motorcycle dealership desert.
I haven’t heard if it’s going to the US🤔 I should imagine it will take a lot to set up a dealer network. Hopefully it will get there at some point 😁 thanks BL 😁
Hi Mr T 👍I am warming up to the beezer I think we all expected more! but used prices make more sence as fun retro bike 😎
Yes, you can pick ex demos up first under 5k 😁 thanks TR 😁
Love mine you should get one you won't regret it. Had mine for 9 months without any problems and my local BSA dealer in West Lancashire is fabulous.
Excellent to know 😁 thanks IH 😁
Waiting for the Bsa Scrambler 🤞🤞
Yes, that would be marvellous 😁 Thanks NR 😁
It’s definitely worth considering if you are in the market for a modern classic. Will be a tough decision for some on which bike to go for! But it’s a nice problem to solve.
Absolutely 😁 thanks MO 😁
Great overview TAYM, but no more than I would've expected, and as I've said before, given the wherewithal there'd be one in the mancave, I'd have to think long and hard before bolting a third wheel on it. Nice one again, cheers.
Thanks MT 😁
Hi TAYM, great upload. Thank you. Also I noticed you have great riding skills.
Thanks GC 😁 you are very kind 😁
I'm still waiting for my chance to ride one but I know I wouldn't be tempted to trade my Bullet in for one, like you I'd have to own both. Thanks Mr TAYM.
Thanks 5dT😁 yes, the 500s are special, last of a breed 😁
Gets along really well when pressed... I like it. Thanks TAYM.
Thanks DT 😁 it certainly does and you should see the cut bits 😁😂😂😂
Definitely a test ride in the new year with Mrs PGB 😊. Did anyone else notice they've sorted out the radiator shroud? Originally it was a single pressed steel item with nasty sharp edges and rather thin paint. The quiet update (proper side cheeks) looks far better. Hopefully, there's a kit for early adopters to do the same. There's quite a few (ex-demos?) around for only £5k 😊
Yes, at 5k it’s a cheap bike 😁 thanks PGB 😁
Sorry to hear someone bumped into you my phone crashed Mr.Taym thought someone had hacked me as well.....motor sounds great on the Birmingham. Always a parallel twin guy myself she has more photos of the t100 black today's supposed to hit about sixty I'll take her out once it starts to get nicer later on today. We're glad you're OK and rolling still.
Thanks Jay 😁
@@TAYM hey it keeps it interesting but don't go out like that man 🎉 I know sometimes it can't be helped the deer over here want bike rides all the time..... I'm guessing to shy to ask...
I like it and it appears to have plenty of overtaking power . Thanks TAYM
Thanks GCK 😁 certainly does 😁
Really enjoyed the vlogs. 😊. Had a look at the BSA and the royal enfield super meteor prefer the meteor. So going for a test ride tomorrow weather permitting. Chris.
Thanks CY 😁 I think the meteor is finished better 😁
Big difference between a twin and a single and of course the feet forward is totally different. It's what floats your boat.
There's a solid thumbs up then 👍👍. On the first review I ever saw, it sounded like a cross between a lawnmower and a goldfish, but evidently that is not really the case 😁. It is great to have a choice of modern classics!
Thanks GBD 😁 hopefully you can hear on this video that it sounds remarkably similar to the classic 500 😁
I couldn't resist, but yes, the BSA sounds alright👍. Apparently it is pretty loud with the baffles removed. @@TAYM
@@GapBahnDirk so I’ve heard 🤔 or rather I haven’t 😂😂
Nice one TAYM I definitely have warmed to the BSA and it looks a proper classic no doubt ,it might be more comfortable for Mrs TAYM than Bertie I would think but you have to save up for the Rocket I reckon, would you swap it for Bertie ? I reckon it falls somewhere between Buddie and Bertie in the horsepower and fun steaks I guess but without doubt it would be Buddie for me 😉 . 👌👍
Yes, you seem to think like me 😁😂😂 thanks Crumb 😁
Morning Taym 👍 I think the, Gold Star is growing on me 😊
😂😂😁 thanks AR 😁 some cheap demos at Colchester Kawasaki 😁
Just marvellous, that’s exactly what it is. 👍
You took the words right out of my mouth 😁😂😂😂 thanks SN 😁
Hi TAYM .. if you wanted one you are in the right place ! ... Colchester Kawasaki seems to be the hub where BSA are selling off all of their x demo's at the moment they have loads at bargain prices . ... But I'm sure you know that already👍
Thanks DJ 😁 yes, I reckon they will be replacing them with the new colours 😁
Sounds great, doesn't it. Very nice bike m8. Great stuff👍
Thanks IT 😁
It’s a beautiful bike, would love to see one in reality…. still no sign of them in Sweden 😞
Hopefully someone will import them soon 😁
Enfield twins are the competition at this price point surely?.
Possibly but not singles 😁 a very different ride I think 😁 not sure I can split them to be honest 😁 thanks Steven 😁
Good looking bike, I like it better in black and chrome.
Thanks HP 😁
It's still on my list and I think that as a bike it's now acquired a critical mass of owners and companies that will support it. I'm sure TEC will be coming up with a hot cam for it soon. The one bike, missed out on the possible comparisons was the Moto Guzzi, although not a single, it does have that character. Cheers from a (still) soggy Cornwall where I am finding that my simple winterisation video has ballooned into a 4 part series!😉
Got another video on the v7 out soon 😁 thanks CMD 😁
Seems a nice bike moves and sounds good to 👍🏍️
Thanks Derek 😁
Do what videos you like, mr. TAYM .. There is no need for restrains. We are all different and will like different things. See you in Friday's mutter..
Thanks Stefan 😁
Morning Mr TAYM. Overtakes are easier on the Goldie 😉😂
With you on one it would be, you naughty boy 😂😂😂😂
@@TAYMmoi 😂😂😂
@@ianhughesroyalenfield 😂😂😂
Lovely engine but I found the rear suspension to be choppy.
Yes but an easy fix 😁 thanks SB 😁
nice ride ,,,, there are plenty of big singles around ,- ktm husq gas gas 700 , benelli ,,, yam 700 [686cc] , e,t,c but all have completely different styling , , after a while i realise this bike is NOT similar to the re 650 ;;;
Thanks SG 😁 yes, nothing like the RE 650s 🤔 in fact, its not like anything else really. Apart from the smaller RE singles (and the Benelli 400) I can’t think of a classic retro. I wish RE would do one though😁
What is happening with the sv650? Were the forks bent? Sorry if i have missed an update on a previous video,dont think i have though.👍👍
Thanks LM 😁 it’s still in Orwell waiting for the insurance company to get back to them😡 the forks weren’t damaged 🤷♂️ apparently it was the headlamp, mudguard and fork guards creating an optical illusion 😁 so those will all be replaced and it will be back on the road 😁
@@TAYMexcellent news👍👍
“You don’t know what you’re talking about”! BUT that’s in general - not specifically related to BSA! 🤣🤣
Does that mean I am officially a Troll? 👏👏👏🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I concur 😁
Do you want to be🤔😂😂😂😂
Oh, yes please! 🤣🤣@@TAYM
@@daviddavies5347 😂😂
Morning TAYM, Great set of reviews on the BSA , sadly our wallets and garages aren't big enough for all our desires eh! 😅, at least you had it for a few days,. by the way how's the SV doing?
Cheers Mel.
Thanks Mel😁 just waiting for insurance 🙄 Orwell keep chasing them 😁 as do I 😁
@@TAYM sadly the only time you find out how efficient an Insurance company is, is when you have to make a claim! 🙄
@@melfzs yes, Hastings would not be my choice. 😂😂😂 always my fear of having an accident is that the offending driver is with Hastings 😂😂
Looks like a great city or back road bike , who makes the engine?
The engine is a Rotax 😁 so should be strong😁 thanks DH 😁
How would you compare it too the Ducati 62?
I would say it a completely different bike it terms of styling and engine configuration. The BSA has more power and a lot more torque. 😁 thanks DH 😁
Another difference beween this and the Classic 500: this one you can actually buy (new)
Absolutely 😁
That were good Sir, thank you, and please don't even mention those that criticise another person's personnel choice, they should know better!
Thanks DrD 😁
Beautiful bike it's like time travel wanderful sinarevo
Thanks T 😁
OK, let me get this straight. You just sort of like the bike but are still on the fence....😉
When you say fence, do mean broke 🤔😂😂😂 thanks JW 😁
They are like puppies. You want them all!
Absolutely 😂😂😂😂 thanks LoY 😁
Motorcyclists are only 58× more likely to need intensive hospital care than a car motorist😂
Is that only if they are involved in a road accident or in general 🤔 😂😂 what are the statistics for cyclists or horse riders or pedestrians 🤔 I bet they’re not very good for airplane crashes🤔 thanks RD 😁
👍
Mash 650 modern classic is a single but has a twin port head hence 2pipes & be a great to compare.
Interesting 🤔
