BSA B65 Scrambler Coming To India Probably By The End Of 2025
BSA recently unveiled the B65 Scrambler, a new motorcycle based on the Goldstar 650 platform, and is the latest offering from the brand. This scrambler-style motorcycle, which was revealed in the UK and is set to go on sale there in mid-2025, is also planned for the Indian market. The B65 Scrambler shares its platform with the Goldstar 650, but features a unique scrambler design with 19-17-inch spoke wheels, Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres, a raised front mudguard, and a single exhaust pipe. It is powered by the same 650cc single-cylinder engine that produces 47 bhp and is paired with a five-speed gearbox.
The BSA B65 Scrambler features a new handlebar with a cross brace, a redesigned subframe, and a sportier tail section. The bike also gets a new fully digital instrument cluster with improved switchgear and side body panels with racing numbers when compared to the close relative, the Goldstar. The B65 Scrambler is expected to be launched in India in late 2025, with deliveries commencing early 2026.

Expected Price
The BSA Goldstar 650 is currently priced at Rs 3 lakh (ex-showroom) in India. The upcoming B65 Scrambler is expected to be priced slightly higher, with an estimated price range of Rs 3.25 lakh to Rs 3.40 lakh (ex-showroom). This is something that will make or break it as this price point has plenty of options to choose from already.
Verdict
The neo-retro segment is gaining significant traction, with automakers introducing new models to cater to this growing demand. While BSA has unveiled the B65 Scrambler in the UK, there's potential for its introduction in the Indian market, however, it is the pricing that will be its biggest factor that would decide its fate.
