ROAD NEWS
The new Gold Star is expected to slot into the market as another accessible modern classic option , with the 2024 bike powered by a 45hp 652cc single-cylinder engine rather than the more common parallel-twin . BSA has gone to great lengths to retain the classic styling of the bikes of the 1950s and 60s with uniquely oriented clocks , 18- and 17-inch spoked wheels and six distinct colour options for the Gold Star ’ s classically British aesthetic . BSA Motorcycles NZ has launched social media accounts for prospective owners to stay up to date with the latest news on the brand ’ s return to New Zealand roads , with an official website also set to launch soon . If you ’ re excited about the return of BSA , or just want to find more , you can follow the return via the @ BSAMotorcyclesNZ accounts on Facebook and Instagram .
INDIAN SCOUT SET FOR UPDATE
Nearly 10 years after its New Zealand debut on Auckland ’ s Kariotahi Beach , the Indian Scout is finally set to enter its next generation on April 3 . Indian Motorcycle isn ’ t giving much away about the new Scout ahead of the world premiere , but we have high hopes for a cracking motorcycle that blends modern technology with the key features that have long made an Indian Scout , well , a Scout . In its 10-year run so far , the Scout has received only minor updates , meaning we could see a radical change in the bike ’ s design and technological offerings going into its next generation . In the time since the Scout first made its comeback , we ’ ve seen Indian Motorcycle wholeheartedly adapt to new technologies such as TFT dashboards , infotainment systems , safety aids and more , all while balancing that iconic American cruiser aesthetic . In truth , we ’ re none the wiser as to what the next generation Scout will look like . Like many , we ’ ll be waiting for the covers to be officially coming off the bike on April 3 .
