Rajasthan’s First BSA Gold Star 650 Delivered
Prince Lakshyaraj is a collector of all things vintage right from crystals, and heritage artefacts to cars, and the new BSA Gold Star 650 would fit right into the collection with its vintage-inspired styling. The motorcycle draws design parallels to the original BSA Gold Star sold between the 1930s and 1960s and was once the most popular motorcycle to come out of the UK.
