BSA Scrambler 650 (2025 onwards)

The Scrambler 650 is a retro-style scrambler bike made by the iconic British brand BSA. It is derived from the Gold Star 650 classic motorcycle, and both models come with the same 652cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine.

The BSA Scrambler 650 is cheaper than its closest competitor, the Royal Enfield Bear 650, but slightly less powerful. It is a good-looking all-around motorcycle that can be used both on and off the road. Unfortunately, the handling is not that great, and the comfort could also be better.

A2 Licence Compliance

The BSA Scrambler 650 is a 652cc A2-friendly bike. It has a power output of 34 kW (45 bhp), which is within the 35 kW (47 bhp) limit needed for an A2 licence. No restriction is required, as the bike is fully A2 licence compliant. (source: BSA Scrambler 650 specifications)
