"BSA Gold Star" (1960)
The BSA Gold Star is a legendary British motorcycle that
stands as a symbol of performance and engineering excellence. First
introduced in 1938, the Gold Star quickly became known for its power and
speed, especially in competitive racing. Named after the gold star
award given to riders who lapped the Brooklands circuit at over 100mph, the
Gold Star was powered by a high-performance, single-cylinder engine,
available in both 350cc and 500cc versions. The post-war DBD34 model,
introduced in 1956, is the most famous iteration, featuring a 500cc
engine that produced around 42bhp, enabling it to reach speeds
exceeding 110mph. The Gold Star's distinctive alloy barrel and head,
combined with its advanced tuning options, made it a favourite among
racers and enthusiasts alike. It dominated in clubman races, trials, and
even the Isle of Man TT, becoming one of the most successful production
racing motorcycles of its era. The BSA Gold Star remains an enduring
classic, cherished for its unmatched heritage and racing pedigree.
