i own one in Oz. Love it. Have started tinkering with mechanic jobs that i wouldn't dare do on other bikes. I mean i've always checked chain tension, tyre pressure, oil and washed my bikes.... but on this one i've pulled wheels off, changed tyres, changed exhaust, changed the oil, changed the handle bars , adjusted tappets , changed brake pads and added a fuel X lite... great bike to tinker with... and it rides easier than any other 250 - 500cc bike i've owned (10 or 11 other bikes)... 8000km love it...

Thats part of the beauty of owning a Royal Enfield

Great review Nick, they are great little machines, I have just completed a 4400 mile trip across Portugal and Spain over 8 weeks and the little 411 was the perfect companion (mine is a Himalayan, although it’s pretty much the same To be fair), just great little machines, it also averaged 85mpg across 30 fill ups!,keep em coming Nick

Perhaps the solo adventures will return. I don't think Jo likes the way our roads get in the winter so I'm not sure that will be soon. We will have to see 👀

Great review! Every clock fogs up on every bike I've had. At 5'8, 80kg this bike fits really nice. Mine will be delivered in 3 days!

Thanks nick for an informative ride n chat, I'm currently considering either the himalayan, the scram or maybe even a little hunter. The final decision may come down to how good a deal i can secure but i find all three bikes attractive to my needs, with a slight lean more to the him or scram due to the awful roads.

Hey Nick superb videos I’m a new subscriber and I feel I found someone who i can relate with. I too couldn’t give a f**k about rpm or any of that. Just real world experience and this is bang on. I have also had lots of different bikes and I sold a himi thinking I wanted more power. I’ve had a tenere 700, transalp and now looking for a himi again. As you say real world speeds and when we are all looking to save cashola they are perfect. I’ve grown up now and don’t care about speed (they’re trying to slow us down anyways) so I’m on the hunt.

Yeah I agree with you

I own the same color Scram here in India Completed 16,000kms . And the engine gets smother once you complete 10K. I fixed the navigation only for the reliable clock. The navigation is total crap. The halogen old school...... gives a better light throw in inclement weather conditions. Never faced issue with the instrumtation fogging during use in the rains. I got the main stand fitted as a after market accessory since it helps especially during service or you get a flat suggest you get one fitted if you are not into serious off roading.

Great bike, nice gloves, good review. I like the Scram. During the '80s, I did four southern European trips from GB on an XT500, so a 411 is enough. I'd rather have a rev counter than the trip nav thing.

Sold my 2022 KTM 390 Adv after 900 miles and picked up a Royal Enfield Hunter 350 last month. I love it! Even though I prefer classic looking bikes, I was seduced by all of the tech on the KTM. In the end it just always felt frantic. It just wanted to be reved constantly and wasn’t happy below 6000 rpm. I agree with you. The RE is better looking, has so much more character and is a joy to ride.

I was sucked in by a 2007 ninja 650r as well, and I'm a eighties/ Harley type bike fan. This scram looks like a fun chill ride unlike the high rev ninja.

Looks like the nice clock didn't have the same time as the speedo which would drive me nuts. Lovely bike though which will last forever and for which spares will always be available even if they do have to be imported. Just the sort of bike that will be needed as we descend into Cuban motoring, sadly petrol bikes can't have long l left now.

The nc is a great bike and I'd own another one again. The himalayan is great but the nc750x filled that gap where you could take it on bigger roads. The himmys are perfect for us currently as we don't go on highways. The new 450 himmy is another story and from what I've been reading it could also feel that gap.. Good time to be a biker for sure

Hi both, £4500 buys a pretty good 2nd hand Jap machine. When I have tested this it’s not necessarily the top speed but lack of oomph for me. When the new one comes out I think these will fall in value as I believe a lot of owners will want the extra bit of poke. However remaining with air cooling is attractive if off roading or dropping. I think they are great bikes but so many better ones. Hope RE don’t get greedy with pricing which seems to be all manufacturers end up doing. Hyundai and kia cars are an example they were fab value but now almost premium. I have v strom650 and if this had 70 bhp I would be interested s I feel 70bhp is my own sweet spot for satisfaction. My biggest criticism is a pair of copycat triumph twin clocks would be so more attractive. Great vlog thanks. So many vloggers on RE now gotta say something.
