BSA GOLD STAR 500SS.
Tour it. Trail it. Or wheelie down the beach with it.
The BSA Gold Star 500 is one big thumper that’s right at home wherever you go.
Gold Star’s time-tested 4-stroke single pulls like a tractor. Makes roadwork a piece of cake.
And when you charge off into the underbrush, those 500 cc’s keep you in control with loads of low-end torque.
The frame has guts, too. A single down tube cradle type that’s hand-welded for better rigidity.
New 8" front and 7" rear brakes.
And Gold Star runs lean.
Its simple single is teamed with lightweight alloy forks and conical hubs that chop unsprung weight.
Plus the BSA Oil-in-the-Frame System that makes an oil tank excess baggage.
Scramble aboard a Gold Star 500 SS.
They don’t come any bigger. Or any more dependable.
