India’s Mahindra Group, one of the world’s largest automotive and engineering conglomerates, bought the BSA brand in 2016. The firm are still working on plans to build a factory in Birmingham with more than 200 jobs promised and are also developing a robust dealer network. They now say that the Gold Star, a 650cc single, will be hitting those dealers in June with test rides available shortly after.
The latest update is that BSA might launch the Gold Star in India sooner than later against the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650 as the people have already spotted a test mule of the bike on our roads.
With prices nearly similar to that of the Royal Enfield 650s along with local manufacture, the Gold Star is likely to offer a healthy competition in the Rs 3.5 lakhs (ex-showroom) price segment. Above all, it will be a perfect treat for the old Goldie owners in India.
