BSA Reveals 650 Scrambler Internationally

The news of the new BSA 650 Scrambler has just been unveiled internationally and is creating a buzz in the motorcycle world. This is the latest in a long line of scrambler models. The bike combines classic scrambler looks with modern engineering into a retro-inspired design with rugged components. Features such as knobby tyres, raised exhausts, and ground clearance are for optimum off-road capability.

In addition, it is powered by a 650cc twin-cylinder engine for modern performance and reliability. Advanced features of this BSA 650 Scrambler include LED lighting, digital instrumentation, and a combination of retro style with modern practicality. 

Quick Highlights:

• BSA 650 Scrambler blends retro and modern design.
• Powered by a 650cc twin-cylinder engine.
• Features rugged components for off-road capability.
• Same platform as the BSA Gold Star.
• Expected price range: Rs 3.40-3.45 lakh.

British motorcycle manufacturer BSA has unveiled a new 650cc Scrambler globally at the 'Motorcycle Live' show in Birmingham, UK. It is built on the same platform as the BSA Gold Star but still differs from the others because of its rugged look, modernised design, and colour scheme.

Perfect Mix of Classic Styling and Modern Performance

The BSA B65 Scrambler represents proper scrambler styling, with a rough look from each view. The bike has a round LED headlamp with a protective grille, braced handlebars, interesting side panels, and high front and rear fenders. Furthermore, it comes with a single piece of seat, a specific exhaust, and block-patterned tyres. The fuel tank has a tag of the BSA Gold Star and comes with the standard BSA logo and a '65' decal on the side panels for that distinct look.

Additionally, the BSA Scrambler comes with the same single-cylinder, 650cc, liquid-cooled engine of the BSA Gold Star, along with a 45.6PS peak power and 55Nm of torque, matted through a 5-speed gearbox with slip-and-assist clutch. However, the engine may be tuned specifically for the scrambler's identity. It would also sport a bigger rear sprocket to enhance off-road torque.

The BSA B65 Scrambler, for instance, has a round digital instrument cluster placed slightly towards the right. The twin-pod analogue cluster on the BSA Gold Star is different. The higher variants may even have smartphone connectivity features.

BSA B65 Scrambler will likely feature the same frame as the BSA Gold Star, with some minor adjustments. It comes with a telescopic fork and fork gaiters, along with twin rear shocks. We expect that the suspension system will be slightly longer than that of Gold Star. The bike has disc brakes at both ends, accompanied by dual-channel ABS. The bike rides on 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoked wheels, with 110-section front and 150-section rear Pirelli Scorpion STR tyres.

Expected Launch and Pricing of the BSA B65 Scrambler

BSA B65 Scrambler is likely to be released in the UK by December 2024 and could be available in India in early 2025. This variant may offer a premium of Rs 10,000 over the BSA Gold Star variant, priced between Rs 2,99,990 and Rs 3,34,990. The Scrambler will cost between Rs 3.40 lakh and Rs 3.45 lakh (ex-showroom). After its launch, it will compete with the Royal Enfield Bear 650.
