00:00When BSI Gold Star 650 was launched in Tamil Nadu, a lot of people were curious about the quality and reliability of the 650cc twin-cylinder engine.
00:16I am going to make a small prediction video about the 650cc twin-cylinder engine.
00:21I am going to make a small prediction video about the 650cc twin-cylinder engine.
00:25You all know that the BSI Gold Star 650 has been launched recently.
00:33Many of you have asked questions like, is it worth the money?
00:37Do you think it will beat the Royal Enfield?
00:41But one question that many of you have asked is a repeated question.
00:46Why didn't the 650cc twin-cylinder come?
00:49Why didn't they give a twin-cylinder?
00:51Why did they give a single-cylinder?
00:53Why didn't they give a twin-cylinder?
00:59This video is an answer to that question.
01:02I am your Palvin. Welcome to TrispakTamil channel.
01:06Let's get into the video.
01:12We went to the BSI Gold Star 650 launch.
01:17It was great.
01:19Anand Bahendra, the owner of BSI Gold Star 650 told us a lot of things.
01:25When we were chatting with the R&D team, we came to know a few things.
01:33Before I tell you the main reason,
01:36Many of you have asked questions about the quality.
01:39They have improved massively in terms of quality.
01:43It was very solid.
01:45The quality of the switch and the quality of the engine belt was very good.
01:51Before I felt like I was driving a small vehicle,
01:56I was able to drive a few kilometers and get a small feel.
02:02I couldn't take videos of it, but I drove it.
02:06The throttle response was very good.
02:10It was a very crisp throttle response.
02:17They did a very good job.
02:19When I drove it, the temperature was almost 38 degrees in Mumbai.
02:24There was a lot of performance in that place.
02:28I personally liked the sound.
02:31But a single cylinder and a heavy cranked engine.
02:35I don't know what kind of sound many people are expecting.
02:40It's a classic cruiser vehicle.
02:43It's a different engine overall.
02:49Many people have said that it's a Jawa 42 engine.
02:55No, this technology is totally different.
02:59It was very massive.
03:02When it comes to the engine,
03:05Whether it's a powertrain or a camshaft,
03:09100mm piston and 83.1mm stroke.
03:14That's why they were able to achieve 652cc.
03:18When you give such a massive piston,
03:21it generates so much heat and vibration.
03:25To keep the sound and tapet noise away,
03:28a silencer was installed.
03:30A silencer padding was installed inside the engine.
03:33That's how much vibration was reduced in the timing chain.
03:39Of course, there will be small vibrations.
03:43Because it's a heavy cranked machine.
03:49There will definitely be a light buzz.
03:52It's not like you can feel the vehicle and drive it.
03:55BSI is coming after 5 decades.
03:59After 50 years, they are coming back to the market.
04:02They are doing it at a different level.
04:05When it comes to BSI,
04:10Craftsmanship, Innovation and Joy of Riding.
04:15They wanted to give that feel to the new engine.
04:21That's why they made it a single cylinder.
04:24Based on the originality.
04:26This is the quality wise.
04:29Now we come to the main question.
04:31Why didn't you make it a twin cylinder?
04:34There are two factors.
04:36One is the price range.
04:39The other is the feel, originality and retro.
04:43They made it based on an authentic engine.
04:49As you said, I would have expected a twin cylinder.
04:54Personally, I drive a Royal Enfield Interceptor.
04:57A twin cylinder will have a sound and performance.
05:00It will be massive.
05:02But the Interceptor is different.
05:05This is a proper cruising vehicle.
05:08They wanted to give an authentic retro feel.
05:12They gave the maximum originality.
05:16From the tank design to the design of the vehicle.
05:19Another thing is,
05:21The main reason for giving a single cylinder is,
05:24The old vehicle was a single cylinder.
05:26If you look at the current vehicle,
05:28If they gave it as a twin,
05:30It would have lost its originality.
05:35That's why they gave it as a single cylinder.
05:39Another thing is,
05:42If they had made it as a single cylinder,
05:45It would have been easier to achieve 650cc.
05:49If you look at the Royal Enfield Interceptor,
05:52It has 650cc.
05:54One cylinder produces 320cc.
05:59If you compare the two,
06:01The Royal Enfield Interceptor produces 648cc.
06:04How can I explain this to you?
06:07It will be good in terms of performance.
06:10It will be good in terms of heat generation.
06:12They have used a heavy crank.
06:14They have used a heavy piston.
06:16If you look at the Mach-Evo,
06:18It will generate heat.
06:20It is not easy to generate 652cc in a single cylinder.
06:25They finally achieved it.
06:28It will generate a lot of heat.
06:31To reduce the heat,
06:33They have changed it to a liquid-cooled engine.
06:35This is where the price point comes in.
06:37If they had made it as a single cylinder,
06:39It would have been easier.
06:41They didn't have to make it so complicated and detailed.
06:45The price range would have been very low.
06:47Because they could have easily achieved 650cc.
06:51Now,
06:53They have given a heavy piston,
06:55They have reduced the heat generation,
06:57They have reduced the vibration generation,
06:59They have used a lot of technology,
07:01They have used a lot of R&D,
07:03They have given a cooling system to control the heat generation,
07:06They have given a massive radiator,
07:08They have gone this far.
07:10That is why the price range is between 3 lakhs to 3.5 lakhs.
07:15If it was a twin-cylinder,
07:17We would have expected it to be between 2,50,000 to 2,80,000.
07:23This is the main concern.
07:25But their main concern is,
07:27We have a legacy called BSI Gold Star.
07:31That is a single cylinder.
07:33That is what we want to give.
07:35That is the motive behind it.
07:37A lot of people were expressing their opinions.
07:40Why should they give a twin-cylinder?
07:43This is the reason.
07:45Another thing is,
07:47This is a cruising vehicle.
07:49They have given a 5-speed gearbox.
07:51Again, this is not a 6-speed.
07:53But from the 3rd gear,
07:55They have given a long stroke.
07:57That is a long acceleration.
07:59If you pull the RPM,
08:01You can cruise at that much speed.
08:05That is what they have done.
08:07If you think this is a 5-speed,
08:09It can't go that much.
08:11It can achieve 100 miles per hour.
08:13That is 163 kmph.
08:15It can go that much.
08:17I am saying this from the company's perspective.
08:19When we get a vehicle in real life,
08:21We will check it and make a dedicated video.
08:25But overall,
08:27I am already a 650 owner.
08:29I am saying this from that perspective.
08:31Both the engines are different.
08:33If you ask me,
08:35Will BSI hit the Royal Enfield?
08:37Will it beat the Interceptor?
08:39The answer is,
08:41Both have different behaviors.
08:43Both have different legacies.
08:45There is a name for that.
08:47There is a name for that.
08:49During the army time,
08:51They supplied it to the military.
08:53There is a separate iconic legacy for that.
08:55There is a history for that.
08:57Of course,
08:59It is a single cylinder,
09:015-speed gearbox vehicle.
09:03It has a massive piston.
09:05It has a long stroke.
09:07There are vibrations in that.
09:09There are definitely vibrations.
09:11There is nothing in that.
09:13It is not as you expect.
09:15When you drive a vehicle,
09:17There is a slight vibration.
09:19You can feel it.
09:21You can feel the ride of joy.
09:23You can feel the ride of joy.
09:25You can feel the ride of joy.
09:27If I take a BMW car,
09:29You will say it is a driver's car.
09:31Why?
09:33Because the vehicle gives that kind of feel.
09:35The feeling of driving the vehicle.
09:37BSI gives the same feeling.
