BSA Scrambler 650 review - An acquired taste | First Ride | Autocar India

Опубликовано 5 июня 2026, 5:30

The Scrambler 650 is based on the same Gold Star 650 platform, with some notable changes to make it live up to its name. Mechanically, the bike moves from an 18-inch front to a more scrambler-esque 19-inch wheel. It also gets a new rear subframe to enable its unique stance and seat shape. Rishaad brings you a detailed review.
