This is an example of how to make an awesome bike that everyone gets. This is the bike Harley should have made with the new engine. That aside cast you mind back 15 years, 400 cc was the normal and $8K was what most people paid. Now if you were 25 wanted to get a bike for under 9k you could get the bike the gear the helmet use your backpack, pay the registration and insurance and have change for a holiday. 😮 I love my Iron 883 but it’s got limited abilities out side the CBD.

Took both the Scram & the Himalayan out on the track at ABR last weekend. Both cracking machines. For me the Himalayan the better of the two off road by far. Agree on the back brake being vague but that could be down to me as rarely use the rear when riding on road so not used to rear only braking as required off road. I'm no off road rider at all but felt really comfy on both the Scram & Himalayan. RE producing some smashing bikes throughout their range. Nice video BTW

The Scram is plenty off-road for the money, scramblers in all are very capable bikes, without the fancy long suspension. Going too fast on the trails and true rough terrain is not recommended, but it's the same story on most adventure bikes, with the added expense and repair cost. Spoken so true, it's a road bike that can do off-road, and for a cost of a big scooter, without the maintenance of the scooter transmission. Enfield are the smartest motorcycle firm, in my opinion, like the Japanese used to be, before the marketing guys got the upper hand.

Bad breaks are a pretty good safety feature. For example if my breaks were not functioning at all I wouldn't want to even ride. No ride, no injury. Jokes aside I really am having a hard time deciding between the Scram, Himalayan, Hunter or Classic. There are things I like about all of them and things I would dislike not choosing one or the other. No matter which I choose I feel that I will be missing something. Which may mean I will be happy with any of them. But could also mean I will be disappointed by any of them.

Dang! Ol'man, you're living in a biker's paradise, can't fault your thinking in moving there!👍 Anyway, to the bike. I'd put it in the same class as the Triumph Street Scrambler. Yes, they WILL do mild off road but with many compromises. I guess you could easily mod them to be a bit more off road friendly with different tyres and gearing changes etc and still keep some ability on tarmac. I've done a couple of tentative green lanes in the dry on my Triumph but I wouldn't dream of taking it anywhere near some of the tracks I've done on the Enduro bike. On the other hand I've been off the Enduro twice on the road. Wet tarmac and knobblies don't mix well!😂 I have to mention the price of the RE which would probably make me more likely to venture off road with it than the £10k Triumph or, heaven forbid, a £££££ Adventure bike! 😀

Poor brakes as a safety feature? I've never quite thought of that - but on reflection they are! I spent two winters commuting across the Pennines on a MZ 250. Loved the bike, hated the brakes (until I did the front brake TLS mod) - as a result I rode that much more carefully especially in snow. Moreover my guess is that the Scrams brakes are infinitely better than a modded MZ 250!

Always liked the Himalayan. The Scram seems to have done a classic RE and found another niche. I have always found 30 to 50hp good for most things, so as with the Himalayan, the Scram would benefit from one of the +20% cams available. I understand this was a test bike, but I find it a little surprising ppl complaining about the gear leaver length, without modifying them. 20 minutes with a hack saw, file and welder, plus a scrap of metal.

To oil your chain you can get a peace of wood and hold the bike up by putting it under the swing arm they also make a tool for doing this makes live so much easer. For some one reviewing bikes I am surprised you do not know about these. I use it with my KTM 390 all the time to lube the chain. can't think of the name of it wright now but it is adjustable for differing bikes. It folds in the center and just push it to lock it once in place. Went to the shed and got it, It is a SmapJack V2 Variable and comes with a strap to hold the front break on for safety.

Perhaps Royal Enfield is thinking the Himalayan is for areas much less developed, the Scram for area that are more developed but to the level of Europe in general: And to be used as primary transportation. Where as we tend to think more in terms of joy riding on pavement, dirt or green lanes in which case we tend to buy more focused machines. Thinking out loud here.
