The BSA B65 Scrambler, a neo-roadster classic motorcycle, debuts at the Motorcycle Live 2024 show in Birmingham, UK. This is a direct rival to the Royal Enfield Interceptor Bear 650, and boy, does it look good! The motorcycle features the same 650cc engine that we saw in the recently launched BSA Goldstar 650, which starts at Rs 3 lakh ex-showroom.
It's hard to say whether Classic Legends has any plans to bring this beast to India, but there's a strong possibility they might. So, let's take a closer look at it. In the meantime, be sure to join the 91Wheels Whatsapp Channel to never miss out on automotive updates.

BSA B65 Scrambler
This bad boy does appear to have a dual-tone treatment on the fuel tank, and the overall black paint gives it a rugged, masculine look, complemented by a new sub-frame and an angular tail section. Also, as expected, the twin analog tachometers have been ditched and replaced by a digital rider's display.
Additional information about this bike includes the '65' written on the side body panels, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear spoke wheels, which also feature ABS. It comes with an LED headlight, telescopic front forks with long suspension travel, and a slightly upright exhaust. The bike follows a typical scrambler design and features, complemented by Pirelli Scorpion Rally tires.
