On India’s 78th Independence Day, Classic Legends proudly announces the arrival of BSA, one of the world’s most renowned motorcycle brands, to the Indian market. Founded in 1861, the Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) was once the largest motorcycle manufacturer globally and remains a symbol of British industrial heritage.
BSA enters India with the legendary Gold Star 650, a motorcycle that made a celebrated return to the UK in 2021 and has since gained popularity in Europe, Turkey, New Zealand, and the Philippines. With plans to expand into the US, Australia, and Japan, the Gold Star is poised to capture the imagination of Indian motorcycling enthusiasts.
Anand Mahindra, Chairman of the Mahindra Group, remarked, “Introducing BSA to India means sharing a piece of global motorcycling history. The Gold Star embodies BSA’s indomitable spirit, forged through years of legacy, and I hope everyone experiences its remarkable journey.”

Every detail, from its iconic tank shape to its powerful single-cylinder engine, reflects the brand’s golden era while incorporating modern performance and innovation. We’ve dedicated ourselves to ensuring it honors the legendary standard set by BSA.”
