BSA is one of Britain's most iconic motorcycle brands, and although many may not remember its glory days, the name still evokes a sense of nostalgia. Originally known as the Birmingham Small Arms Company, BSA was once the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer and unfortunately faced bankruptcy in the 1970s. However, the BSA name was revived in 2016 by Classic Legends, who have also brought back the Yezdi and Jawa brands. The Gold Star is BSA's first product since its revival, and with its history and high capacity come high expectations. The "Goldie", as many call it, is a modern tribute to its 1950s predecessor and is made to capture the style and experience from a bygone era.
