Classic Legends is aiming to resurrect the BSA and Yezdi brands back from the dead, just like Jawa. Only recently BSA sprung back into action with the reveal of the Gold Star 650 that takes aim at the Royal Enfield 650 Twins. Here is how BSA's latest 650 cc offering compares against the 650 cc motorcycles from Royal Enfield.

The new Gold Star 650 gets a 652cc engine which is a liquid-cooled, DOHC, four-valve unit responsible for delivering 45hp of maximum power at 6,000rpm and 55Nm of peak torque at 4,000rpm. But instead of a 6-speed gearbox, it only gets a 5-speed unit. The company has officially communicated about this engine that “Torque starts building up from as low as 1,800rpm, delivering a healthy flow throughout the rev range and resulting in effortless cruising and bursts of acceleration when needed."
