The BSA name has been bought by a firm in India
The first model it will issue is the Gold Star..

With a fookin ROTAX engine for heavens sake..


ROTAX-POWERED BSA GOLD STAR
INTERNATIONAL

31/05/2019



BDN hears from India that, as expected, the first product from the revived BSA brand will carry the historic Gold Star model name.

The old Birmingham factory used it on super-sporting singles from 1938 to 1972 and the 500cc Clubman’s version of the late 1950s and early 1960s is one of today’s most coveted British classics.

The new BSA, from Mahindra-owned Classic Legends Pvt Ltd in India which launched Jawa branded bikes last year, is expected to be powered by a Rotax-made engine. It will be an updated version of the 652cc 655 single-cylinder unit previously supplied to power the Aprilia 650 Pegaso and BMW F650 Funduro.

I thought they had been making BSAs in India for years.

Or was it Royal Enfield?
