The BSA Gold Star 650 is a motorcycle from BSA. It is currently on sale. With a 652 cc engine it sits in the middleweight 450–800 cc class.
Power comes from a 652 cc single-cylinder liquid-cooled engine that makes 45.6 bhp at 6,500 rpm and 55 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. Peak torque arrives low in the rev range, at 4,000 rpm, which makes it relaxed to ride in traffic. Its bore is wider than its stroke (100 mm x 83 mm), a short-stroke layout that generally favours higher revs. Divide power by kerb weight and it has about 230 PS per tonne; by that measure, it is lively, with easy overtakes and relaxed highway speeds. The claimed top speed is 160 km/h. It has electric start.
It has a 5-speed manual gearbox with a 1-down, 4-up shift pattern, and a chain carries drive to the rear wheel. It uses a wet multi-plate clutch.
It is built around a tubular frame. At the front, the suspension is telescopic hydraulic fork with cover tubes, 120 mm stroke. At the rear, it is twin shock absorbers with 5-step adjustable preload. Braking is by a disc at the front and a disc at the rear, with dual-channel ABS. ABS on both wheels keeps either tyre from locking under hard braking. It rides on 18-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels with tubeless tyres — 100/90 - 18 at the front and 150/70 - R17 at the rear.
The seat is 782 mm off the ground, which is about average and suits most riders. It weighs 201 kg ready to ride, which is on the heavy side, so moving it by hand takes some effort. Ground clearance is 150 mm — adequate, though tall speed breakers need care. It is 2,206 mm long, with 1,425 mm between the axles. It carries 12 L of fuel.
Equipment includes an analogue instrument console, a halogen headlamp, USB charging port, engine temperature indicator, low fuel indicator and low oil indicator. Safety equipment includes engine kill switch, side-stand engine cut-off, side-stand warning, hazard light switch and malfunction indicator.
The manufacturer's warranty is 4 years. For the BSA Gold Star 650, Mechiee offers a fixed ₹4,499 doorstep service.
Its low seat also makes it approachable for shorter and newer riders.
Recommended tyre pressures are 28 psi front and 30 psi rear riding alone, and 28 psi front and 34 psi rear with a pillion. Its chain drive needs regular cleaning, lubrication and slack adjustment.
These figures come from a single publication (BikeWale) and have not been confirmed against the manufacturer. Exact values can differ slightly by variant and model year.

Mechiee doorstep service
₹4,499
Mechiee's fixed doorstep service price for this model.
Follow the schedule in the owner's manual for your exact variant and year. A regular service is the cheapest way to catch small problems before they become expensive ones.
Engine oil is the single most important consumable to keep fresh. Top up between services if the level drops, and change it on schedule.
With Disc and Disc brakes, check pad or shoe wear, lever and pedal free play, and braking feel at every service.
A clean, correctly tensioned and lubricated chain lasts longer and wastes less power. Check slack regularly, especially after riding in rain or dust.
A liquid-cooled engine relies on coolant. Check the level and look over hoses and the radiator for leaks or damage, and replace coolant as the owner's manual directs.
A clogged air filter or worn spark plug shows up as hard starting, weak throttle response and poorer fuel economy. Both are checked at a regular service and replaced when worn.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point. Have its level and condition checked and change it on the interval in the owner's manual.
This bike runs 100/90 - 18 / 150/70 - R17 tyres. Check pressure, tread depth and sidewalls, and replace tyres that are worn or cracked.
The battery is listed as 12V, (11.2 Ah). Weak starting, dim lights or a flickering console are early signs the battery or charging system needs a look.
