BSA B65

BSA has unveiled the B65, a scrambler based on the Gold Star 650. Showcased at the Birmingham Motorcycle Live Show, the motorcycle gets a range of styling tweaks while retaining most of the mechanical components from the Gold Star. It also features the same 652 cc single cylinder engine. BSA has stated that the motorcycle will go on sale overseas in 2025, and the company is currently accepting bookings for the motorcycle on its UK website.

Visually, the B65 gets an array of new styling cues over the Gold Star that give it a more rugged appearance. The B65 sports a new round headlamp, divided down the middle. Other new design elements include the new beak style front mudguard, bench seat, number boards on the side panel, and a smaller round tail lamp. Body parts such as the tank cover and round mirrors have been borrowed from the Gold Star.

In terms of cycle parts, the B65 retains many components from the Gold Star 650, and features a 41 mm telescopic fork setup up front, and a twin shock setup at the rear with preload adjustability. Braking duties are handled by a 320 mm front disc with Brembo twin-piston floating calipers and a single 255 mm rear disc with a single piston floating caliper. The motorcycle has dual-channel ABS. The motorcycle rides on a 19-inch front wheel and a 17-inch rear wheel, both shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. The B65 weighs 218 kg, 5 kg more than the Gold Star. Seat height, meanwhile, stands at 820 mm, 40 mm higher than the Gold Star.
