Picking up a T100 in a week and I’m 5’4”, after watching this I’m more confident in my decision

Great review!! Nice to see some footage of them actually being worn and not just unboxed. Did you ever find a pair of jeans that work for you?

The Triumph 400 is 10mm higher. But, to me both felt the same. Am on tippy tip toes, on both. So for me, would require a lowered link.😊

Much better and appealing that the Triumph 400.

Thanks for video

Love the T100. I've had one for a year now. Great machine.

I’m a complete novice at riding motorcycles, but the bike is just fine on it’s side stand on a sea ferry? Anyway, thanks for a relaxing ride and now I want a Bonneville.

ECU needs reprogramming. New bikes come with this fix already.

It seems like you're the only one who has reviewed these boots so far. I'm considering them despite the premium price because they look incredibly stylish. Do you think they're durable enough for everyday wear? Are they waterproof? Have you had a chance to wear them in the rain or snow? I'd really appreciate any insights you can share about their performance in those conditions.

Lets be honest this bike is not a BSA Gold Star, it is a cheap, crappy, third world produced bucket of cachu. This pathetic replica must really suit the cheapskate wallets, anyone with any sense (especially those ageing nostalgia seeking wanabee's) should save a bit more of their pension and buy a "proper" bike. Maybe an easy first purchase, but don't kid yourselves, you will try hard to convince yourself you have a nice "new bike", bit your joy will soon become dulled when you try to part ex. even for another BSA or Royal Enfield replica, used prices of these pathetic counterfiets are falling like lead balloons in a bucket of water. The "assemblers" (for they are not makers) of these jokes can't even give it a proper tank badge.............

Long stroke or short stroke?

Hello again, thanks for replying to my earlier comment. I have another question. After 13 years since selling my last bike, a Yamaha FZS1000 (I was in love with that bike!), I have been craving to get riding again. I have been eyeing the Triumph Speed 400 since first hearing about it, it makes sense financially, both in purchase price and running costs, and the small capacity looks like a great deal of fun. However, I have heard plenty of people mention problems with the Speed 400 (hardware, software, immobilisers, not starting, display issues etc). It is putting me off purchasing one. Do you, or any of your viewers, know what proportion of owners are having issues... is it a a minority or a majority? Also, are Triumph dealerships getting the issues fixed on sold bikes, and is Triumph now getting them fixed at production? I hope that someone is able to enlighten me. Thanks.

Thanks for the review. How was the Speed 400 on steep hills, for example through Ventnor?

Bhai aap chala lete ho ye bike

The music is too loud

What a beauty...

I bought a 350cc Meteor in june and didnt have a problem with the forward position of the rear brake or the toe and heal gear change , just took to it like a duck to water , i think there a great little bike , more smiles per mile 😀 as they say , whats not to like 😀

Cool bike....

What country is this? It’s so beautiful.

Would be great to see Norton do well but this bike has too many issues and it is far too expensive, really a shame

SV650 ..pegs are to high and seat postition makes it uncomfortable

When you mention this bike is "jerky", do you mean that it can put off new riders, like in the throttle response in first and second gear? As in unforgiving? Or a different kind of jerkyness? And can a new rider just out of MSF be okay on this as opposed to tamer RE Hunter 350 for example?

I just bought one of these. The seat height is a small issue for me. Any suggestions other than to low seat how to gain an inch or two?

Not supposed to stall like this. Did you fix it?

Picked up my bike new just over a week ago, it stalled when I slowed down approaching a tight corner on a rural road, had the clutch in coasting for a few feet then was going to accelerate gently around the corner, but the bike had other ideas and cut out just like yours did in the video. I got my bike from a dealer who has just taken on BSA's, and they have been pretty good with me previously. Mentioned it to them and they said to see if it happens again. Will see if they can updated the software on the first service. The only other issue is it failed to fire up when starting from cold once (just starter motor turning the engine, did wait for the lights to go as usual before trying to start), switched all off and on again and started fine. Teething issues I guess...

Lovely bike , I have the halcyon green . I do however disagree with you on long distance, this bike is brilliant at long distance, yes your not going to go as fast and motorways aren’t it’s strong point but who wants to go on a motorway any how . I’m just running mine in but I will be going wales , Yorkshire, Scotland 500 and even Europe and Isle of Man . The big advantage is the fuel efficiency, its comfortable seat and great extras like luggage. I’ve just fitted one of those free flowing air filters from Hiscox .

wow!

I reviewed the Goldstar a few months ago, and I experienced one stall during my ~45 minute test ride, though no other issues at multiple stops, junctions and slow manoeuvres, and like you I really enjoyed the bike beyond that. The reason I'm commenting though is someone replied to my video about a month ago to say that BSA have released a software update which solves the stalling issue. I don't have any specifics beyond that unfortunately, and a quick google doesn't show up any articles which is odd because you'd think there'd be a blog post or something for it, but I wanted to raise it anyway. If true, that should be the worst annoyance the bike has on launch sorted. Hopefully it is as simple as that, and the owners are able to enjoy the bike safely going forward.

Thanks for the long-term review. I just bought my 1st Bonnie today, and is the exact model/year as yours. Am so stoked!!! Such a classy machine, with a lot of safety comforts. Can't wait to start putting miles on it and creating memories.....

Dangerous situation these stalling problems. Hope you get them fix for good.

Great looking bike but for that amount of money i would want a lot more bhp.......My old GS 1000 had more horses on it and even then,felt a bit underpowered for long motorway rides when away at weekends etc.....

In my mind, I see this as a contemporary cafe racer. I love mine, but I've only done 76mi/122km so far.

The seat sucks and the music f**ks 😅

Kick bina kahe ka motorcycle 🏍️👎👎👎👎👎

Why not RE?

Great real life review. Just found your channel and subsctibed,

Really keen on this bike. Looks fantastic

I like the Goldstar but this puts me off.

I am liking this bike

Not sure if this applies to BSA Goldstar but BSA shares parts with Jawa. I own a Jawa and that stalls at lower rpms too. I generally keep revving the bike lightly to 2-3k rpm and that prevents it from stalling. I know thats not a solution but that's what I tackled the problem after clocking 20k kilometres.

Do you use low Octane or high Octane fuel for that 75-79 MPG. The emblem on the gas tank has always been plastic which i feel they should have changed to metal 6 years ago other makes have the painted logo on the tank which doesn't reduce the price of the bike but it is there and i prefer that better you pay for what you get.

Which one is better REInterceptor650 or this BSAGoldstar.

I think you are new biker to review on BSA Goldstar.

😂🤣

unnecessary music

Can you please make a video of the scambler x ?

Doesn't sound manly enough.. thanks to all the latest norms..
