Apart from acting, actor Kamal Haasan is also very fond of bikes. Abbas, who was previously the best actor in Tamil cinema, posted a video on his Instagram page mentioning Kamal’s favorite bike.
Pointing to a specific bike in the post, he said, “You remembered this bike when you saw it. If I am not mistaken, you still have this bike. I think you still want to ride this bike.”
Actor Abbas recorded this video while at a bike showroom in Auckland, New Zealand. He points to the BSA Gold Star bike as Kamal’s favorite bike. This video is currently going viral on social media.
Kamal’s Favorite Bike Model:
What Abbas is showing in the video is the BSA Gold Star. This bike is currently powered by a liquid cooled, 652 cc, single cylinder engine. This engine is capable of producing a maximum power of 55hp and 45Nm of torque. Equipped with a 5-speed gearbox, this bike also weighs 213 kg.
This bike is being sold in the UK at a price of Rs 6.17 Lakhs in India. This BSA Gold Star bike is expected to be launched in India as well. If released in India, it is expected to be released at a price between Rs.5 to Rs.7 lakhs.
BSA Bike Company History:
BSA was selling classic bikes in the 1900s like Royal Enfield and Yesti. The company was selling 350cc and 500cc bikes from 1938 to 1963. However, due to some problems, the company completely stopped the production of bikes in 1973.
But in 2016 Classic Legends bought BSA. Following that, BSA is again engaged in bike production from 2022. 60% shares of this classic legends company are held by Mahindra, one of India’s leading car manufacturers. It is noteworthy that this Classic Legends company has also bought and reorganized Java and Yesti companies.
