BSA Gold Star - what you need to know?? 

Hey Richard; There's another British man's channel "Mindful Motorcyclist" who loves his BSA like you do. They are beginning to grow on me too, but we haven't any in the U.S. yet. Have a great day.! CHEERS!! Illinois,USA

It would be a boring old world if we all liked and bought the same thing. If you like it then get it simples

Hi Richard, another great video from you sir. I just love your laid back approach to the video content and life in general. Keep them coming. Ride safe!

Well Done BP, I love the way you go about explaining the differences, no two bikes are the same, each bike for a different day, thank you again Richard for sharing your bikes and their differences with us definitely see you soon Ted NW Biker (Bay Bimbler)

Great unbiased video, I own an interceptor but would love the shadow model in the garage aswell 👍🇬🇧🏍🙂

Great video & well explained

Riding motorcycles from 1970 first bsa was a three month old A65L loved it in recent yrs have owned two of the new bonnevilles great bikes got a second hand goldstar with 1000 miles on it younger rider got it discovered it wasn't his thing and yes its all different now when i started riding there where about fifty of us from fizzy ss50 up to triumph bonnevilles honda fours we all went on runs together didn't matter what you had now days its what you say alot of running each others choice down i also have a yamaha tricity 300 due to back problems the s..t i take about that is bad don't think it will be any different now but i love the goldstar and your great videos

You can't really compare a twin or a four to a single, there different animals. Before buying my GoldStar i tried the Interceptor and loved it but then i tried the BSA and fell for the big thumper and it's character and I've never been disappointed. I really also like the W800 and the T100 both more expensive by a few thousands. If i was to change my GoldStar and I've no plans to do so i would choose the W800 again for its character and its authenticity.

Probably the best review I have seen on the BSA. I currently own a interceptor. I like it a lot. But I want the BSA Goldstar. Why?? I think it's the beautiful view over the bars, the gorgeous sound of a big single. .I recently sold a Ariel 500cc Red Hunter that I had from school years, I'm retired now. So I had many days. I miss the big single 😪

Well done Richard and well said 😊😊 Yes it’s a very contentious issue with people but the BSA is a lovely bike as is the interceptor etc but as you say we all like different things as you say Love the video Phil

the big singles (preunits) hark back to the fifties not the sixties. the enfield is more a unit style from the sixties

It looks like used prices are coming down as there are 9 bikes at or below £5k on Autotrader today. The new lower starting price of £5,999 for the shadow black and highland green versions has definitely affected used values.

Says it all. Great 👍

You must be from Liverpool, you sound like a Beatle

He's got no time to wait for you?...You were doing 50 in a 60 mate. What's the matter with you?

I'm betting that bulky and ugly radiator can be switched out with a less bulky and smaller factory radiator from a new Triumph Bonneville T100, problem solved. Who has the mechanical guts to try and then report back? Cheers.
