The BSA Gold Star, 1938 to 1963, is a 250cc 350 cc and 500 cc 4-stroke production motorcycle that gained its reputation for being one of the fastest machines of the 1950s. These motorcycles were popular for their high performance. Besides being hand built, with many optional performance modifications available, they came from the factory with documented dynamometer test results, allowing the new owner to see the horsepower produced.

Towards the end the Gold Star was only offered in scrambles, or Clubmans trim. In 1963 Lucas ceased to produce the magneto used in the B series, and that line of singles was ended. Alternator models continued to be sold until 1966 as GB33 Some remaindered stock were marketed in 1974 as Triumphs, and later CCM Motorcycles used BSA B50 bottom ends in their early specials.
