BAAK x BSA: The New Project
BAAK teams up with the legendary British brand BSA to reinterpret their iconic model: the 650 GOLD STAR. This project is much more than a simple collaboration; it embodies the perfect fusion of BSA’s classic heritage with BAAK’s signature design. It’s more than just a partnership; it’s a true merging of legacies, where BAAK’s modern, handcrafted design meets BSA’s timeless tradition. The result? A Rambler – Adventure version of the 650 Gold Star, which is already set to revolutionize the world of Retro Touring.
Retro Touring: A Philosophy Revived
Retro Touring is much more than just a style; it’s a true philosophy. Inspired by the motorcycles of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, it strikes the perfect aesthetic and functional balance between a classic bike and an adventure trail. At BAAK, we’ve always been inspired by this fusion of eras, and this project with BSA is the perfect opportunity to express our vision. Adventure and freedom on a classic motorcycle have never been so accessible.
“The 650 Gold Star is a fantastic bike, well-designed, meeting today’s manufacturing standards. It’s the Royal Enfield Bullet 650 we’ve all been waiting for. However, like all other manufacturers, it has too much plastic, and we’re here to fix that! We will offer an accessory kit sold at BSA dealerships, allowing them to provide a premium finish!” – Rémi Reguin, Founder
Limitless Versatility
Retro Touring also offers impressive adaptability. Whether you’re a daily adventurer or a fan of long journeys, the 650 Gold Star Rambler is designed to fit any situation. It performs just as well in urban commutes as it does off-road on country paths. This style is particularly appreciated during gatherings like the “Éléphants”, known as Elefantentreffen in German.
- Cargo capacity: With removable saddlebags for generous storage space, you can carry everything you need for your adventures.
- Terrain versatility: This bike is equally at home on asphalt or gravel roads, giving you the freedom to explore new horizons.
Step #1
Rear and Front Mudguards
At BAAK, every modification is designed to combine aesthetics and functionality. By replacing the plastic of the original mudguards with stainless steel, the brand offers a durable, high-quality solution. This choice of weather-, corrosion- and scratch-resistant material guarantees not only increased longevity, but also a premium look.
The mirror-polished finish matches the chrome of the tank perfectly, adding an extra touch of elegance while staying true to the retro styling of the BSA. This shiny stainless steel requires no painting, and blends naturally with the overall look, whatever the color of the bike, giving the machine a timeless look that transcends fashions.
Step #2
Side Leather Bags
At BAAK, we believe that every detail matters when it comes to customizing a motorcycle. The leather side bags are no exception. They are not just an aesthetic addition but also an accessory designed to provide a practical storage solution for your journeys. Our team of designers and craftsmen work meticulously to find the perfect balance between style and functionality.
This project with BSA is an opportunity to showcase our expertise in leather craftsmanship. Each bag is handcrafted using high-quality leather, selected for its durability and unique appearance. The manufacturing process includes special attention to the finishing touches, ensuring not only the sturdiness of the bags but also a sophisticated visual appeal.
An Invitation to Adventure
This project marks a new era for fans of classic motorcycles and adventure. With the 650 Gold Star Retro Touring, the duo BAAK-BSA offers a machine that beautifully combines timeless elegance with modern performance. For all those who dream of freedom, winding roads, and off-the-beaten-path discoveries, this bike embodies the spirit of escape in all its glory.
