BSA Gold Star 650 Gets Two New Colour Options in India, Prices Start at Rs 3.56 Lakh
BSA Motorcycles has expanded its Gold Star 650 range in India with two new colour options: Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black Legacy Edition. The new editions add fresh styling to the retro roadster while retaining its existing engine and mechanical package. Prices start at approximately Rs 3.56 lakh for the Birmingham Blue edition and go up to approximately Rs 3.65 lakh for the Brooklands Black Legacy Edition, ex-showroom.
The additions take the Gold Star 650’s colour range to five options in the reported lineup. The new editions are aimed at buyers who prefer distinctive styling and classic British motorcycle design. Existing colour options, including Insignia Red, Midnight Black and Sheen Silver, continue to be listed alongside the new editions.
BSA Gold Star 650 New Colour Options and Prices
The two new editions occupy the higher end of the Gold Star 650 range. The Birmingham Blue edition is priced at around Rs 3.56 lakh, while the Brooklands Black Legacy Edition costs around Rs 3.65 lakh, ex-showroom in Delhi.
The approximate prices of the existing options are Rs 3.42 lakh for Insignia Red, Rs 3.45 lakh for Midnight Black and Rs 3.60 lakh for Sheen Silver. Prices may vary slightly by source, variant and applicable updates, so buyers should confirm the current price with an authorised dealership before making a purchase.
Birmingham Blue Edition: Styling Details
The Birmingham Blue edition introduces a deep blue finish that gives the motorcycle a distinctive appearance while retaining its traditional roadster design. It also features a silver side-panel badge and a specially finished engine, adding contrast to the overall look.
The colour pays tribute to Birmingham in the United Kingdom, the city closely associated with the origins of the BSA brand. The company’s British heritage remains an important part of the Gold Star’s identity, and the new finish is intended to reflect that history in a contemporary package.
The motorcycle continues to feature the familiar rounded headlamp, teardrop-shaped fuel tank, wire-spoke wheels and classic bodywork that define its retro styling. The new colour is primarily a cosmetic update rather than a change to the motorcycle’s core design or engineering.
Brooklands Black Legacy Edition: Premium Black Finish
The Brooklands Black Legacy Edition receives a darker finish with additional detailing. Its black paintwork is complemented by gold pinstriping and chrome-finished components, including the fenders and fuel-tank detailing. A quilted seat adds another visual distinction to the edition.
The name references the historic Brooklands racing circuit in Britain, which is associated with the Gold Star’s legacy. The edition is positioned as the more expensive of the two new options, with a reported ex-showroom price of approximately Rs 3.65 lakh.
The combination of black paint, chrome and gold accents gives this version a more premium appearance without changing its underlying mechanical specification. As with the Birmingham Blue edition, the main updates relate to styling and finish.
Engine and Performance Remain Unchanged
Both new editions continue to use the Gold Star 650’s 652cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine. It produces 45 hp and 55 Nm of torque and is paired with a five-speed gearbox.
The motorcycle’s large single-cylinder engine is central to its character in the retro-roadster segment. Rather than introducing additional performance equipment with these editions, BSA has focused on expanding the visual choices available to customers.
The Gold Star 650 also comes with dual-channel anti-lock braking system technology and Brembo braking components. Wire-spoke wheels contribute to its traditional styling, while the motorcycle combines its classic appearance with modern equipment.
No mechanical changes have been reported alongside the introduction of Birmingham Blue and Brooklands Black. Prospective buyers should therefore view the new editions primarily as styling-focused additions rather than performance upgrades.
Features and Position in the Market
The BSA Gold Star 650 competes in India’s middleweight retro-motorcycle market. One of its key rivals is the Royal Enfield Interceptor 650, which uses a parallel-twin engine. The Gold Star takes a different approach with its liquid-cooled, single-cylinder powertrain.
The choice between these motorcycles can depend on riding preferences, engine character, styling, comfort and ownership costs. Buyers comparing the two should also consider dealership access, maintenance requirements, warranty terms and the availability of spare parts in their area.
The Gold Star’s traditional styling and British heritage are central to its appeal. The new colour options give customers more scope to choose a version that matches their preferences without requiring them to move to a different engine or model.
What Buyers Should Know
The Birmingham Blue edition starts at approximately Rs 3.56 lakh, while the Brooklands Black Legacy Edition is priced at approximately Rs 3.65 lakh, ex-showroom. The actual on-road price will be higher because it includes applicable road tax, registration charges and insurance. The final amount can vary depending on the buyer’s city and selected dealership.
Customers should also check whether the quoted price applies to the exact edition they want, as online listings may use rounded figures. It is advisable to confirm availability, delivery timelines, warranty coverage and any optional accessories directly with an authorised BSA dealer.
With these two new editions, BSA Motorcycles has broadened the Gold Star 650’s styling choices while retaining the existing engine and equipment package. The update gives buyers a choice between the deep blue Birmingham Blue finish and the more detailed black-and-chrome Brooklands Black Legacy Edition. For customers considering the Gold Star 650, the main differences between the new versions are their appearance and price rather than their performance specifications.
