I'm enjoying this healthy debate about the new BSA. Everybody is entitled to spend their money on what they want. For me, buying the new BSA, is like spending an extra £50 on a pair of trainers just for the Nike brand, or paying double for McVities chocolate biscuits when the Tesco ones are fine. I think we (us old folks) are being targeted for our 'silver pound'. Let's face it, the BSA name means nothing to anybody under 55 so I don't suppose anybody under 55 will buy one. So, straight away, Mahindra are targeting a reduced market sector which is why the bikes have to be overpriced. I'm not ruling out buying one, but I'll definitely wait a couple of years, when I'll be 70, and maybe it will suit my needs then, and there will be feedback from existing owners. That's just me being sensible for a change. I'm a bit miffed that the BSAOC has already taken the decision to acknowledge it as I don't think the bike has any connection to BSA other than the name. If the Star magazine gets overloaded with articles about the new 'Gold Star' I will be really hacked off. Is any part of the bike actually manufactured in the UK? As yet, I can't find a place for it in my stable because it cannot replace any of my proper BSA's - I couldn't be riding round on a new BSA kidding myself that I'm riding a classic bike - and I certainly wouldn't swap my Z900RS for it. Nope, not for me.....yet!
