@@iliakag 103kilos :) Smoother road yes, but doesnt make any sense why they would add the scrambler dna in styling and marketing if this thing was made for smoother roads.

@@weirdmanrides Firm feeling suspension with that weight is worrying - I always thought that those complaints come from lighter riders. Well, I guess, I'll have to wait till my country starts importing the bike to test it. Thanks.

@ absolutely worrying and disheartening that the whole 650 series has bad suspensions. If YSS can do it, RE should do it too, but they are too busy coming up with new bikes every fortnight.

@@mr.j4006 thanks mate. I usually use hazard when i am stationary. My maddog foglamps have great throw, so i keep that on.

@@TeslaParadox lmao. Give us another 20 years :)

@@Mebrown_NoBot never really worked for me, which one do you use?

@@Randyak1 i wouldnt recommend if you have back issues. Himalayan is a way better machine and value for money. Do check out the triumph scrambler 400x as well. It’s similar range and has great suspension.

@@josefuncovsky2274 I got your point, but I really enjoy that there are coming more and more bikes that do not try to compete with vast power and fiddly technical features. I personally downgraded several years ago from a bandit 1250. Now I enjoy to ride single cylinder bikes in the 300 to 500ccm class. I have not less fun than back in the days with my 1250 Bandit. Really looking forward to testride Himalayan 450.

@@Randyak1 👍👍👍👍

It’s enough. I’ve got a Continental GT650 and a GSXR1000. I enjoy the GT650 just as much.

@@pieter3525 haha, weirdman because it is a reflection on society. :) And i get your frustration. Fight or flight takes over. Even the best gear will not save anyone from a heavy vehicle. Dying sucks man. Hope things get regulated here in days to come.

@@pieter3525 thank you!!!

@@vladimirputin7056 if you are above 5’10“, go for it. It is a beginner friendly motorcycle. If you are below, you can still test ride and see, there will be a learning curve.

@weirdmanrides 5"11 bro i went to the showroom height is perfect for me but they dont give test ride and also i need practice

@ they never deny test rides, unless you've never rode a geared bike. Practice on a friend’s bike in that case. You don't want to drop your new bike :)

@@AsaBharatKavuru thanks friend, its a dji mic mini

@@skp54 will surely look into it, thanks for the suggestion.

@weirdmanrides Thanks👍

Honest answer: your 400x or secretly this bear 650? And foremost: why? (Im in the market for both 😉)

@@pieter3525 great question. 400X hands down. Build quality is way better, suspension is amazing, great rider triangle, good heat management, can do way better on softroads. Although bear trumps triumph on brakes and power, a bit of tuning and sintered brake pads will do wonders on 400X. And best part, its way cheaper too.

@@narendranaramala not much, i am used to it, but besides occasional chain lube sessions, i don’t really miss it. I use a roller anyway. But if its parking you’re concerned, this thing has the most upright side stand ive ever seen.

@@weirdmanrides awesome. thanks for the prompt reply. Appreciate it. Happy riding and do upload more videos.

Both are not that easy on pockets. Both have low mileage and service cost isnt that different. Ill say both are equal in this regard.

I appreciate the feedback! It motivates me to do better. I noticed the issues later on, but had already screwed up.

@@frankpinion4937 if only bear was made for adventures :) This is a road bike that looks cool. That is the extent of it.

Price is rubbish too.😂😂😂 You never say that. Go buy 10L FOREIGN BRAND BIKE. YOU DESERVE THAT

@@weirdmanrides Himalayan 650 coming out for you my friend.

Thank you, and yes, seems that way, which is sad.

@@authenticchinese9773 haha

It’s an optical illusion due to angle and speed. :)

@@Nixoholic amen to that

@@Dagehtslang It is way too hard to :) On the contrary, you can still opt for super meteor or himalayan. They are couches on wheels.

@@weirdmanrides How about the "old" Interceptor 650?

@@DagehtslangBear definitely has better suspension than interceptor 650. It all depends on what terrain you usually commute. If its mostly smooth roads, bear is more planted and stable. Super meteor is a great option too. But if its broken, and patchy, interceptor. If its offroad, softroad, definitely himalayan.

YSS has good suspension for Interceptor and shotgun. Sadly aftermarket suspension is the only option left if you want to ride the new 650s.

@@rahul_khairnar Just hoping they release a good solution option for this bike, then I will buy this, otherwise holding my booking.

Thank you :)

In the price segment yes it will take over a good enough market share. And i believe the stiff suspension won’t pose much issues in good tarmac. In India, good tarmac is rare. This feels purpose built for export.

Im 6'2". With my 235 lbs (105kg) plus all the bags and gear for a multi-day camping/ road trip, i suspect the suspension will be ok for me. I hope to replace one of my Himalayans with one of these.

@@donovandale7077I am the same weight, 105. With additional weight it will be perfect. Go for it! Mind you, this doesnt have traction control, or any fancy computer stuff apart from ABS. But then again, if you are used to the Himalayan, you will be fine.

Skidding isn't from lack of.traction control

@ youre right, rear wheel spun out of control due to non rev matched downshift. And that can happen to a lot of inexperienced riders. But it did skid. In such cases maybe traction control can help.

Exactly. I’ve always found it easy to introspect on a motorcycle. And being alone is crucial for that.

Hey Harsh, you blip the throttle, shift down in a millisecond and release the clutch. Its supposed to be done in one smooth motion. Engine will make noise but thats what its supposed to do.

Glad you liked it! 👍

I have set mine to 26F and 33R. Suspension seems quite soft to me, please check if it is set to 3. And regarding the pull to left, you need to go get it checked as it can be due to various factors. But it definitely shouldn’t pull any side. Mine doesn’t have any of these issues. Hope that helps.

@ I can sort these problems out but i have one more my chain makes sound on potholes and it dries out quite early in a few days after lubing and cleaning , feels like it is in a need of clean and lubing again , how often do you clean and lube your chain?

@@jainam56 The norm is to lube the chain every 400km. Or after every off-road ride as the dust sticks easily. And the chain making sound could be because it is loose. Can be adjusted at home or you can get it adjusted at any mechanic.

@ i checked the chain it is tight enough as per the recommendation i think it is hitting the swingarm

@ then you have a bigger problem. Unclean unlubed chain can also cause noise. Rule that out. But best case scenario is to take your bike for an inspection. All these small things pile up into something big.

It is totally worth it since its priced well and the finish is just awesome, triumph made sure that the quality is at par with its big bikes. Has its own quirks but nothing significant. Speed is a road bike, this one has dual purpose capability. And the suspension is way better for bad roads. Proper triumph scrambler pedigree. Do take a test ride :)

Man at those speeds my balls went back till my throat. Close call.

@@mohammedmansoorkhalifa2858 congratulations! It’s a mean machine. Lets do it :) always up for a ride.

@@bikeenthusiasts8019 thank you. Your words motivate me so much.

@@bibhushanneupane1397 thats high praise. Thank you kindly!

@@666whippy set at 3. You need to also take your tyre pressure in account. If it’s too much, it can cause significant hardness.

@@maxbelho you are right. I have tried to fix that in my latest videos. Would love your opinion on those ones too. Both camera and mic is upgraded too.

Thank you kindly :)

Unfortunately, not much can be done for us with specs. Just keep the visor open a little bit for better airflow, that will alleviate things a little. I wont recommend keeping visor fully open as bugs hitting your face at high speed can be super irritating, and painful. That said, you can fix the headlight issue by installing a good HJC or Maddog AUX lights. You can get it fitted as an approved accessory from the dealer itself. Costs 12-13k INR and is must for this bike.

@@7ryjhn thanks man!!! Do check out my latest also :) Happy new year in advance.
