BSA Gold Star - what you need to know??
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- A ride on the GS to understand who is buying this bike and why it is so good. It's at a great price bracket and allows one to own the bike rather than PCP a bike that pushes your budget.
Is this the bike for you?

Yes absolutely, I'm about to buy another bike and fed up with the brand fights on social media...we're all motorcycling together...that's all that's needed whatever one rides...
Hi John, let's face it, most bikes today are great and reliable. All you have to do is look after them 👍
Exactly 👍
Hey Richard; There's another British man's channel "Mindful Motorcyclist" who loves his BSA like you do. They are beginning to grow on me too, but we haven't any in the U.S. yet. Have a great day.! CHEERS!! Illinois,USA
Hey Larry, yes, he has now buggered off to Spain. Bloody infidel 😆. I was hoping to get together with him to make a video but alas, that won't happen in the short term I guess. You have a great day too 👍
This is an excellent analysis…thank you👍
And it's an excellent bike, Hector
@ 😃
It would be a boring old world if we all liked and bought the same thing. If you like it then get it simples
Probably the best review I have seen on the BSA.
I currently own a interceptor. I like it a lot.
But I want the BSA Goldstar. Why??
I think it's the beautiful view over the bars, the gorgeous sound of a big single. .I recently sold a Ariel 500cc Red Hunter that I had from school years, I'm retired now. So I had many days.
I miss the big single 😪
Peter, do not waste any time. Gop get one if funds are available. Get one now, they are lovely. And thanks for the compliment on the review. That is good to know from my perspective.
Hi Richard, another great video from you sir. I just love your laid back approach to the video content and life in general. Keep them coming. Ride safe!
Thanks Sky, after what I have seen in life, being laid back is the view moving forward to my old fart years 😆
Great unbiased video, I own an interceptor but would love the shadow model in the garage aswell 👍🇬🇧🏍🙂
Hi Kenneth, you should consider doubling up on the bike scene 😆, as I say, you can't take the money with you 👍
Great video, we just got 2 reduced Goldies..
..... so excited to get out on them. Thanks for your effort, cheers P&S
No problem Peter, well done on the purchase of the two - a great bike 👍
You can't really compare a twin or a four to a single, there different animals. Before buying my GoldStar i tried the Interceptor and loved it but then i tried the BSA and fell for the big thumper and it's character and I've never been disappointed. I really also like the W800 and the T100 both more expensive by a few thousands. If i was to change my GoldStar and I've no plans to do so i would choose the W800 again for its character and its authenticity.
Completely agree Ian, and the W800 with its geared cam drive is quite unique for todays way. I love the BSA, what a great thumper that does not act like one 😆
Well Done BP, I love the way you go about explaining the differences, no two bikes are the same, each bike for a different day, thank you again Richard for sharing your bikes and their differences with us definitely see you soon Ted NW Biker (Bay Bimbler)
Thanks Ted, much appreciated. Like you say, see you soon 👍
Well done Richard and well said 😊😊
Yes it’s a very contentious issue with people but the BSA is a lovely bike as is the interceptor etc but as you say we all like different things as you say
Love the video
Phil
Thanks Phil 👍
Great video & well explained
Thanks Michael for the feedback 😄
It looks like used prices are coming down as there are 9 bikes at or below £5k on Autotrader today. The new lower starting price of £5,999 for the shadow black and highland green versions has definitely affected used values.
Hi Jerry, you are right. I have just had a look on AT Bikes and the prices are sub 5k. Interesting. That said, I thought the Gold Star was a little over priced and then the Black Shadow at 6k was released. This sort of brought it into the right place in the market space and furthermore, I am sure I have seen a special offer on a brand new for £5600. Now, £5600 is a great price 👍
Bsa is great ..but there's a wiring loom fult
You're right, Robert they are great and you're right on the wiring loom as well. I'm guessing the loom is rubbing against the headstock and wearing through and earthing.
Just found a bsa goldstar 650 at a local dearler £3845. 740 miles. 23 plate
Go for it, Graham, you'll have a wonderful time👍
Says it all. Great 👍
Thanks Brian 👍
the big singles (preunits) hark back to the fifties not the sixties. the enfield is more a unit style from the sixties
I'm betting that bulky and ugly radiator can be switched out with a less bulky and smaller factory radiator from a new Triumph Bonneville T100, problem solved. Who has the mechanical guts to try and then report back? Cheers.
now that's a great challenge. Who is willing to take up the task? 😆
He's got no time to wait for you?...You were doing 50 in a 60 mate. What's the matter with you?
That's what being in a hurry does , makes you look silly.
You must be from Liverpool, you sound like a Beatle
😆
Lets be honest this bike is not a BSA Gold Star, it is a cheap, crappy, third world produced bucket of cachu. This pathetic replica must really suit cheapskates wallets, anyone with any sense (especially those ageing nostalgia seeking wanabee's) should save a bit more of their pension and buy a "proper" bike. Maybe an easy first purchase, but don't kid yourselves, you will try hard to convince yourself you have a nice "new bike", bit your joy will soon become dulled when you try to part ex. even for another BSA or Royal Enfield replica, used prices of these pathetic counterfiets are falling like lead balloons in a bucket of water. The "assemblers" (for they are not makers) of these jokes can't even give it a proper tank badge..............
Big question: Does one want to race one’s mates to the next traffic lights, or do you want to come along 1 second later in style?
Style wins everytime :)
