BSA Scrambler 650 Launched in India at Rs. 3.25 Lakh: All Details Here

BSA Motorcycles has launched the BSA Scrambler 650 in India at a starting price of Rs. 3.25 lakh ex showroom. The motorcycle was first showcased globally last year and is based on the same platform as the Gold Star 650. With this launch, it becomes the second model in India under the Classic Legends owned BSA brand, marking the company’s continued expansion in the mid capacity segment.

BSA Scrambler 650 – Powertrain

The Scrambler 650 is powered by the same 652cc single cylinder liquid cooled engine as the Gold Star 650. This motor produces 45 horsepower at 6,500 RPM and 55 Nm of torque at 4,000 RPM and is paired with a six speed gearbox.

The engine remains mechanically unchanged, retaining its focus on strong low end torque and relaxed cruising ability. The tuning is expected to suit a broader range of riding conditions, including light off road usage, which aligns with its scrambler positioning.

BSA Scrambler 650 – Design and Features

In terms of design, the Scrambler 650 receives multiple updates to differentiate itself from the road focused Gold Star. It gets a high mount front fender, fork gaiters, revised side panels with 65 branding and a redesigned tail section.

The motorcycle is equipped with LED headlamps along with an optional headlight grille. It also features a round LCD instrument cluster that blends modern functionality with a retro theme. These changes give the Scrambler a more rugged and purposeful stance compared to its sibling.

BSA Scrambler 650 – Chassis, Suspension and Dimensions

One of the key changes comes in the form of wheel size. The Scrambler uses a 19 inch front wheel instead of the 18 inch unit seen on the Gold Star, while the rear continues with a 17 inch wheel.

Suspension duties are handled by telescopic front forks offering 138 mm of travel and twin rear shock absorbers with 127 mm of travel. This setup is aimed at improving ride quality over uneven surfaces. The motorcycle has a seat height of 820 mm, ground clearance of 187 mm and a dry weight of 208 kg. These figures indicate its dual purpose capability, although accessibility may be a concern for shorter riders.

BSA Scrambler 650 – Price and Variants

The BSA Scrambler 650 is priced starting at Rs. 3.25 lakh ex showroom for the Raven Black variant. The Victor Yellow variant is priced at Rs. 3.33 lakh, while the Thunder Grey variant goes up to Rs. 3.41 lakh.

BSA is offering an ownership assurance program with the Scrambler 650. The motorcycle comes with a standard warranty of 1 year or 50,000 km. Customers also have the option to extend the warranty up to 6 years. Additionally, the brand is offering up to 8 years of roadside assistance and up to 5 years of AMC packages. These initiatives are aimed at strengthening customer confidence as BSA expands its presence in India.
