When it comes to all things on two wheels, there are a couple of things that’ll never go out of style: retro styling and all-black colorways. BSA strikes two birds with one stone with its newest edition of the Gold Star. Dubbed Shadow Black, this sleek and elegant motif for the retro-inspired Gold Star was unveiled at Motorcycle Live 2023 in the UK.
In a similar fashion as to how other manufacturers release blacked-out editions of their neo-retro machines, BSA has done the same with the Gold Star. Quite frankly, how can we blame them? Black looks really good on all bikes, but especially so when draped over a dapper classic-style machine like the Gold Star. The Shadow Black colorway sees a glossy black finish on the fuel tank and side panels, as well as a dark gray shadow stripe in the middle providing a touch of subtle, elegant contrast.
