India’s lightest 350cc scrambler, the restless Yezdi Scrambler, is engineered for both urban commutes and weekend escapes. The new liquid-cooled Katar (pronounced ‘ka-taar’) engine is the functional and structural core of the motorcycle. With a strong torque-to-weight ratio and responsive performance, it starts at an introductory price of Rs 1,99,950.

The BSA Scrambler 650, powered by India’s only 650cc single-cylinder engine in the segment, combines authentic British scrambler styling with strong low- and mid-range torque delivery. It draws its bespoke design from historical icons such as the Gold Star Catalina, A10 Spitfire, and A65 Firebird, BSA’s world-famous scramblers. The motorcycle is available at an introductory starting price of Rs 3,24,950.

Anupam Thareja, Co-founder, Classic Legends, said, “Scramblers have the potential to become the SUVs of motorcycling, changing the expectations riders have from their motorcycles forever. We hope these machines, built for confident city-riding and beyond, and bearing the design signatures of Yezdi and BSA, will inspire Pune to explore terrain beyond roads on the weekends. The Yezdi Scrambler is a taut and restless storm in stance and performance, while the BSA Scrambler channels its British lineage that originally inspired the format across continents.”

Today’s launches extend Yezdi and BSA’s commitment to scramblers with two new motorcycles built around the format’s original demands: Lightweight, torque-led, and responsive.

Customers can now visit their nearest dealership in Pune to experience the brand-new scramblers as well as the complete range of Yezdi and BSA motorcycles.

All the dealerships offer sales, service, and aftersales support under one roof, and are backed by the company’s Customer Assurance Programme, designed to support long-term ownership with reliability and peace of mind, including:

• 4-year/50,000-km standard warranty

MUMBAI: Classic Legends, on India’s 78^th Independence Day, announces the launch of one of the BIGGEST motorcycle brands — BSA — in India. The Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA), once the world’s largest motorcycle manufacturer and a pillar of British industrial heritage, has had a fan following since its founding in 1861 that continues to this day.

BSA makes its India entry with the ‘gold standard’ of British motorcycle engineering, the iconic Gold Star. The BSA Gold Star 650, which made an iconic comeback in the UK in 2021, has since found success in Europe, Turkey, New Zealand, and the Philippines. Now, it’s set to captivate Indian motorcycling enthusiasts. BSA is also ready to enter the US, Australia, and Japan soon after.

Speaking at the occasion, Anand Mahindra, Chairman, of Mahindra Group said, “Bringing BSA to India is about sharing a piece of world motorcycling history with India. That indomitable spirit of BSA, a brand built in the fires of battle, is imbued in the new Gold Star that I hope all of you have a chance to experience.”

“The BSA Gold Star embodies the essence of motorcycling excellence,” Anupam Thareja, Co-founder of Classic Legends Pvt Ltd, “Every detail, from the tank’s iconic shape to the engine’s big single character, has been meticulously crafted to capture the spirit of BSA’s golden age while delivering the performance, reliability, and innovation that define a global brand. We’ve poured our hearts into ensuring it lives up to the storied legacy that has set the gold standard for generations worldwide”.

The Gold Star: India’s Most Eligible Single!

Key features of the BSA Gold Star include:

• India’s Biggest Single Cylinder: A liquid-cooled, 652cc engine
• Segment-leading 55Nm and 45.6PS, delivering Gold Star-worthy performance
• Best-in-class Components: Brembo brakes with dual channel ABS, Aluminum Excel rims, and Pirelli tyres
• Classic understated British styling complemented by modern features and digital-analogue instrumentation
• Six stunning color options, including the Legacy Edition in Silver Sheen

Leading BSA’s charge into India is the Gold Star, a name that resonates with motorcycle aficionados globally. The original Gold Star, born in Britain in 1938, set numerous speed records and dominated racing circuits, becoming the ‘gold standard’ for performance motorcycles of its time.

The new BSA Gold Star, a modern classic and design icon, is making a comeback to reclaim its glory. It has been meticulously crafted with British-led design by Redline Studios and engineering by Ricardo, complemented by engine expertise from the Technical University of Graz. This collaboration blends British engineering heritage with global technical excellence.

The BSA Gold Star exemplifies the pinnacle of British engineering, seamlessly merging classic design with modern features. Equipped with a 12V socket and USB charging port, it ensures riders stay connected during long journeys. The bike’s rider-focused design includes easily adjustable rear shocks for personalized comfort. Its build quality and meticulous attention to detail reflect BSA’s steadfast commitment to British craftsmanship and excellence, making the Gold Star a true representation of BSA’s storied heritage.

Availability

BSA plans to build a nationwide network of dealerships and service centers, ensuring exceptional support for Indian customers. The company is focused on continuous innovation in motorcycle design and technology, with plans to expand its range in India while preserving its British character. Collaborating with Indian engineering talent, BSA aims to blend British tradition with local expertise, creating a unique fusion tailored for the Indian market.

The BSA Gold Star will be available at select dealerships across India starting August 15, 2024, with prices beginning at Rs 2.99 Lakh (ex-showroom) onwards.
