BSA Gold Star vs Royal Enfield Interceptor 650: Specifications Compared

When it comes to underpinnings, both bikes are roughly similar, but the BSA has a slight edge here thanks to its larger rear brake. When it comes to the tyres, the BSA has a larger rear tyre setup, which in theory should translate into better traction and stability at high speeds. The Interceptor’s smaller section rear tyre on the other hand, would likely translate into better acceleration.

The main difference between the two in this section is the seat height and the kerb weight. The BSA Gold Star has one advantage, which is the lower seat height that would make the bike more accessible to shorter riders. The Interceptor 650 on the other hand is much lighter than the BSA Gold Star  and would come off as more agile and manoeuvrable while riding. The Interceptor will likely feel a bit easier to move around the parking lot as well.

Lastly, coming to the fuel tank capacities, the Interceptor on paper has the slight edge as it gets a larger tank than the Gold Star. 

Features

When talking about features, both the bikes come with a dual pod instrument console, with a speedometer and tachometer and digital insets that display information such as fuel level, time, trip and odometer readouts.

Both bikes offer a similar set of features, but the BSA Gold Star manages to stand out with its anti-theft engine immobiliser that adds an additional level of safety to the bike.
