    Some time long back, for the first time, I came across a review you'd done. I can't recall which it was but my first impression was the same back then as it is today: you, sir, have such an excellent skill for commentary. Your narrative, the voice-overs and your visuals just flow along intuitively. Your style of presentation is unique as it has no Marvel or DC movie style BGM, no cinematic camera work/color grading or the usual elements that somehow seem to be the norm nowadays. And yet we feel so connected to what you share as your thoughts/opinions. There is an endearing honesty in your approach and thankfully, no bias towards any particular brand. Kudos to you brother for setting your own benchmarks. May the angels of the road watch over your rides always 🤜🏼🤛🏼 With the risk of sounding vain, I'd like to take the liberty of suggesting that you must plan for a travelogue in book format or as a vlog series - a collection of your inner thoughts and experiences from the many miles (err...km) of riding that you will undertake in the years ahead. Something like what Ted Simon did with his wonderful book, Jupiter's Travels. Our country is large enough, varied enough and crazy enough to guarantee great many adventures - enough to put down as a motorcycle journal. I do believe your writing/vlogging skills will be able to take us along your journeys in the same engaging, warm manner as we have come to expect from your reviews. Cheers & safe rides! 🤘🏼

    Superb vlog, best I have viewed on SM👍🙏😀. Bike seems dam perfect except for tear suspension just need some softer springs; possibly progressive🤔. The first workshop in India I'm guessing that gets it right will be opening their own gold mine 💰👍. I'm ordering in "Interstellar Green" with touring screen, touring seat and panniers as I have long trips to make each year, but once home/destination I can pop the screen off and I have myself a cruiser for around town. I've owned 5 Harley's and they've been great but knowwhere near the fun and enjoyment this bike is going to bring me 😮.

    Definitely it is a good bike, and its better tuned. BUT, there are critical quality issues with connecting rod seen with all the models including interceptor 650. Which is quite a silly thing from royal enfield. This is very common in RE bikes. I hope they have taken care , as this requires a major engine work to repair. Having and capturing the middle segment is a matter of pride for them :D but they should also learn from weaknesses of the their products. Just wrapping the same engine in a different chassis is okay, but then engine work coming up even before 50k is not acceptable. It is the customer who has to pay for it and RE makes good money out of it. So all the enthusiastic boys and girls who has booked it with all your dreams :D do not ignore it and make sure RE has taken care of this.
