BSA GOLD STAR PRICING CONFIRMED
We ’ re counting down the days to the New Zealand arrival of the new BSA Gold Star , and now we know the bike ’ s pricing ahead of its local launch . The 2024 BSA Gold Star will retail from $ 10,990 with the range topping out at $ 12,990 . As we have seen with other manufacturers , pricing varies depending on colour . The Gold Star enters the market with the bike in the blacked-out Shadow Black colour scheme at $ 10,990 followed by the Highland Green option at $ 11,990 . The racing-striped Insignia Red , Silver Dawn and Midnight Black are all priced at $ 12,590 each . Topping the range is the Silver Sheen Legacy Edition with its chrome fenders and trim , polished engine covers and other premium details . This is priced from $ 12,990 , with all prices excluding on-road costs . At the same time , BSA Motorcycles New Zealand has confirmed that all 2024 BSA Gold Star motorcycles are backed by an unlimited kilometre two-year warranty . Pricing is competitive with the LAMS modern classic segment , with the Gold Star set to go head-to-head with Royal Enfield ’ s popular Interceptor 650 and Continental GT 650
models . BSA ’ s point of difference is that the 2024 bike is powered by a 45hp 652cc singlecylinder engine rather than the twin of the Royal Enfields , which will offer a different overall riding experience . Like Enfield , 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 . The new BSA Gold Star is expected to arrive in local dealers imminently , with the Cyclespot Group in Auckland and Wellington currently confirmed to be taking on the historic brand .
