BSA has unveiled its second motorcycle, the B65 Scrambler, based on the Gold Star 650. The new scrambler looks considerably different from the cruiser it is based upon. Cosmetic changes include a new headlamp that is smaller than the one on the Gold Star 650. A high-set front fender completes the B65's scrambler look. The handlebar is slightly wider and features bar-end mirrors.

Hardware changes include the switch from Gold Star 650's 17-inch wheel at the front to an 18-inch rim on the B65 Scrambler. The rear wheel stays the same at 17-inches. The B65 weighs 218 kg and has a seat height of 820 mm.
