BSA Scrambler 650 India Launch Expected on 23 April

• Classic Legends likely to launch multiple bikes on 23 April
• One of them could be the Scrambler 650
• More affordable alternative to the Royal Enfield Bear 650

Classic Legends is all set to host a launch event on 23 April, 2026. The media invite sent by the brand hints at the introduction of multiple new products, and one of them is expected to be the BSA Scrambler 650. The motorcycle has been due for an India launch for a long time now, and the number ‘65’ mentioned in the media invite points towards the Scrambler 650, which sports ‘65’ on its side panels.

The BSA Scrambler 650 is already available in select European markets. It is based on the Goldstar 650 that has been on sale in India since 2024. The Scrambler 650 will probably be a more affordable alternative to the Royal Enfield Bear 650, which will be the direct rival to the BSA. While the Bear 650 starts from Rs. 3.75 lakh, ex-showroom, the BSA should be priced around Rs. 20,000-30,000 less, considering its more traditional equipment and a single-cylinder engine, unlike the Bear’s twin-cylinder unit.

Powering the Scrambler 650 will be the same 652cc, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine as the Goldstar. This motor makes around 46bhp and a peak torque of 55Nm and is mated to a five-speed gearbox. It rides on 19-17-inch spoke wheel combination shod with Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres. The sub-frame is different for the Scrambler as it boasts a sleeker tail with a bench-style seat. Moreover, there’s a different exhaust canister, perhaps for a throatier sound.
