BSA Gold Star 650 road test, review

BSA has crafted a machine focused on the simplicity and pleasure of single-cylinder riding. The Gold Star lacks the sound and allure of a twin cylinder engine, but it packs a sizable punch with its waves of easily accessible torque and its generally easy-to-ride nature. Classic Legends has finally introduced a machine that is more than just a nostalgic name slapped onto a generic motorcycle. It is thoughtfully designed and combines classic style with modern practicality. The more time I spent with the Gold Star 650, the more its simple, feel-good appeal became apparent and this is a motorcycle that grows on you with time.
