    When I was around 6 years old Rich my dad had one in the garage which he was storing for his mate who didn’t have a garage. I used to get out of bed early every morning to go and sit on it and pretend I was riding it for the 6 months he had it. I’m sure this is responsible for my love and addiction to motorcycles to this day. I’ll also never forget the smell of that oil and petrol. Amazing how watching your vid brought that back. Thanks again for a quality production man and have a great Xmas. 🙏🏍️🎥

    I've had one since June and makes me very happy each time I ride it. The BSA new goldstar forums are full of owners like me who love them. Be prepared for lots of people wanting to talk about them whenever and wherever you are.

    The best looking retro, they seem to get varied reviews.
    I quite fancy one for easy Sunday ride outs to a cafe for a proper full English.
    Great review, makes me want one even more, and they seem good value for money.
    Have a good Christmas and prosperous New year.

    I liked these when I saw it nearly 2 years back at the Scottish motorcycle show. (Was there this past March)
    Only one dealership in Scotland.
    I felt due to my short arse stature (27 inch inside leg) and my weak abdomen issues. I was on very tip of my tip toes, and its weight. Felt heavy to me, at that time.
    I ended up with a 350 Meteor.😊
    But still think there a looker.

    Yeh, your dad was spot on about starting the original Gold Stars….back in ‘64 a mate had one, we took it in turns starting it due to sprained legs/ankles. I don’t see this ‘replica’ as a real Goldie though!

    Can’t recall if you’ve ridden a Royal Enfield Interceptor Richy. Be interesting to see what you think of that.

      My girlfriend at the time was a trainee nurse in Birmingham. Micheal Elphick had a pub outside Brum. Can’t remember whether she was in that pub with mates in another but he approached and tried to pull her. He was in his 40s her 18/19.
      Let’s say it was uncomfortable shall we.

    Sorry to leave a negative comment but I have to disagree with the title,this bike is only a BSA in name,it isn't a Goldstar or an Icon.It's a psuedo BSA Goldstar made in India and by all accounts isn't even a very good bike.
    Personally I'd love to own a similar looking 650 bike but I could never bring myself to buy this semi replica or put up with it's poor build quality.

    • @RichyVida
      @RichyVida  3 години тому

      From my experience on it, it didn’t feel of limited quality at all. Quite the opposite really. Thanks for your comment, no prob with leaving that kind of negative comment, at all 🤝

    It may look like a classic Gold Star to the uninitiated, but it’s bloated and tired compared to the lithe and athletic original. Others may like it but in my opinion it’s a disappointment.
