2024 Royal Enfield Bear 650 - It's the Best.

[@originalsingh]

And that's how a review should be done! Covering all major points, use cases and demonstrate the ability of the bike in all terrain in a short sweet and concise manner.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thank you so much for your comment. It is really appreciated. Sure does give me a boost. Thanks for watching the review. Regards FPPete.

[@rnbdanny]

I’m so impressed with this proper overview of the bike… It’s the first time I see someone covering all these main points that I feel are important and that I haven’t found in any other video of this bike anywhere lol. Going through the bike and even removing parts until you get to the air filter is great to actually see how the bike is designed/made. Thanks for that!

[@emmanuelmartin1238]

Totally agree, felt like I actually got to know the bike and not just the subjective looks and feel.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thanks heaps for your comment, it really means a lot to me. I try to show as much as I can for all potential buyers of the motorcycle. Glad you enjoyed the Video. Regards FPPete.

[@billcotton1551]

Hi Pete, the 450 Himalayan finally arrived to the dealership near me in the U.S. I was very impressed with the fit and finish, and it had a sticker price lower than my Honda CRF 300l Rally! RE is absolutely killing it with their bikes.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Bill, Glad you liked the Himalayan. It sure is a good Dual sport bike. The Price is very competitive. I do love the CRF300. It's such a good bike. Check out Adam Riemann on KZbin. Aussies riding the CRF in Thailand. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you and your family. Regards FPPete.

[@Dagehtslang]

WOW!!! This is the best Reviev so far!! I watched everyone of them. Even in foreign languages. But this one shows exactly what i am looking for when i am checking a bike at dealership. I open the storage things, reject the Seat etc. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Now, I ll wait till march for getting this bike a Testride and if it isnt to stiff and hard, and the ergonomics are fine for me, than i probably gonne sell my shotgun 650 !

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Thank you so much for your comment, it is really appreciated. I'm glad you enjoyed the review. Definitely test ride if you can, it sure helps to make the decision if it's the bike for you. All the best. Regards FPPete.

[@MrAndrew1953]

Very comprehensive review. I'm the same height so that was good. LED headlight is bright enough but lacks depth. Being the sort of bike it is,it needs ground clearance but the loss of a centre stand on a chain drive bike is a draw back. I had to get one fitted to my CB500F - the lugs were there. A big lump of plastic from a building site got caught in the chain at 100kmh. Took 30 mins on the C/stand to get that lot out. I have a paddock stand but this is a heavy bike. Build quality of the bike is very good,as is the attention to detail. Prefer the honey yellow paint scheme.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

@@MrAndrew1953 Thanks heaps Andrew, I reckon with a bit of modification an Interceptor center stand may fit. All the colors look Cool. And the Headlight needed to be adjusted up a little. Thanks for watching the review. Regards FPPete.

[@bobdrakeford5731]

A very thorough and comprehensive review Pete. Best one yet!! If you were the RE Salesperson, it'd be hard to say no to the Bear 650. I very much enjoyed your video. Great job, and well done! 👏👏👏

I like how they have the oil cooler radiator higher for better air flow! These bikes look fairly easy to service including adjusting the valves. No shim under bucket. Just a simple screw and lock adjusters.

bloody lovely bike, negative is everyone i know who owns these new RE says the headlight is shi7e, they are not kidding based on the video in the dark, wow - this same cluster is shared across so many models and it's crap - i would defo get some aux lights because even the high beam sucks

[@MickH60]

Does anyone know how to adjust a headlight any more ? It would be way better tilted up a touch...

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

I think the headlight just needs some adjustment. Royal Enfield's I find need some tweaks when new. I had one were the headlight was pointing way too high. Aux Lights would be an awesome addition If your doing a lot of night riding. Regards FPPete.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

When I bought my 2020 Interceptor the rear shocks were set in the softest setting so when I hit some Twisties it scared me to death. Because they cost less some dealers don't take time to adjust them as they make little on each bike

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

@@MickH60 Spot on mick. I was aware of adjusting it, and did talk about it, but I edited it out of the video. Should have left it in. Regards FPPete.

Probably my next bike to replace the classic 350. It seems that RE intends to launch spoked rims for tubeless tires across the entire range. At that point Bear will be perfect!

That's a cracking bike mate. I love that model, 249, by far the best option. RE does an outstanding job. I bought a Classic 350, and a Meteor 350 this year. I couldn't decide...so why not get each one a buddy. LOL Enjoy and Cheers!

[@MrLeslloyd]

There should be an adjuster bolt to lower that brake pedal,I have 5 1950's Enfields and they all have that adjustment,foot should face forward.Did you try adjusting it?

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi MrL, Great point you raised there, I cant believe I did not look at the adjustment. I'm sure you are 100% Correct. I have noticed Royal Enfield's do need to be dialed in. The Headight adjustment for example. Merry Xmas & HNY. Regards FPPete.

[@Walrus647]

Great video! I’m absolutely torn between the Bear 650, Shotgun 650 and the Super Meteor 650.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Glad you enjoyed the review. They each offer something different, test ride all three if you can. Regards FPPete.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Stressed member frame is not a stronger or better handling frame no matter what marketing claims.The interceptor full cradle double down tube 3 piece bolt together frame is an absolute peach capable of supporting sidecar ,trike ,off-road or higher h.p. and torque than it's 650 engine produces The stressed member Shotgun,classic,Super meteor frame is just not as strong ,versatile or well handling and isn't capable of giving as soft of a ride. The Interceptor might be cheaper but it's the better bike all around.The Bear is the best of them all and what the Interceptor should have always been.

[@MudaholicJR]

Great review mate, but would of liked a side on shot with you standing over the bike to get an idea of height... Hopefully not too tall for my short 5'7 height.

Best review yet. But you didn't address the no centerstand issue.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Yeah good point, I will keep that in mind for future reviews, so thank you. I assume the Royal Enfield left it off to make the bike look better, it would also be a weight and cost cutting thing as well. Regards FPPete.

Great video. As it is Lams approved does this mean there is a lams approved model with reduced power and a non lams model normal power?, as is the case with the Suzuki vstrom 650?

Hi Richard, Glad you enjoyed the review. LAMS motorcycles in Australia have a power-to-weight ratio of 150 kilowatts per tonne or less; and an engine capacity of 660cc or less. All the Royal Enfield's are in Standard form, so no detuning for LAMS. Regards FPPete.

Hi I’m in uk that was a great review round the bear I’m looking at getting one as a winter hack I come from a mx back ground and scrambler style is what I like I ride a triumph rocket 3gt chrome edition I don’t know if you have that colour in Australia and it’s a fantastic bike but I don’t want to ride it in the British winter so I think the bear would be a good bike for that but I wouldn’t take that out when the salt goes down they will both stay in the garage but great review ithink they look well built and also they are good value for money take care and have a great Christmas

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Nicholas, Thanks heaps for your kind words and glad you enjoyed the review. Not sure if we have the chrome edition here but we do have the Evel Knievel GT which looks awesome. The Bear 650 would be a great addition as a stable mate for the Rocket. Test ride the Bear if you can, that will confirm if it's for you. I personally love it. Merry Xmas and HNY. Regards FPPete.

Love my Himalayan 411 but looking at that 650 engine. I do not do off road but lot off potholes and bad condition roads. Do you think this bike could be a happy medium between the regular interceptor and the Himalayan ?

Hi, Good question, It is located behind the Tool Kit on the Right hand side. Take the side cover off, remove the tool kit, remove 3 screws that hold the tool kit holder in place, and the battery is behind that cover.

@@FULLPELTAdventures I have the super Meteor 650 already so might be overkill. I tested the 400x very nimble and light and would feel it would be better off roads. Also suspension on 400x is very comfortable. The suspension on my SM had to be upgraded to YSS. I hope RE works on this with the new interceptor upcoming. Love the Smoothness of the RE 650 engine but just not sure how much of a different experience it would be.

We are going backwards with this type of no power old style ok for sum would you like an EFI tiger mouth

[@mauriceridesout]

Some might say the opposite.

[@daves6380]

How much power do you need? I have a Scram 411 which has literally half the horsepower of the Bear 650 and it will go anywhere and do anything just fine. Also, remember that these types of naked bikes are not really meant for high speeds, because at some point, the wind would just push you off the bike. These bikes are NOT designed to break track records...they are designed to be simple, reliable and good looking.

[@MickH60]

There's plenty of other bikes for you mate, this is like the older UJM's, just perfect for a lot of us, going by the popularity of these bikes, and the fact that motorcycle dealerships are disappearing at a quick rate of knots, I think the motorcycle manufacturers have dropped the ball not making more simple bikes like this....

[@daves6380]

@MickH60 You are 100% correct. I don't care for fancy electronics, ride modes or top speed. I want to enjoy a simple, reliable motorcycle and ride it the way it is meant to be ridden while enjoying the scenery, instead of going 150 mph while scraping a knee every time I take a corner...there is no need for that.

Hi Thanks for watching the Vid, and thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you. Credit to Royal Enfield is that they are continually improving their brand, which is a good thing.

@@MTBrider26 Tough question. If I was after a Scrambler I would be very happy with the Bear 650. I like the look of the Triumph 400 as well. A lighter weight dirt bike may be the CRF300 or the upcoming DRZ4S. There is just so much choice out there. Regards FPPete.

@@FULLPELTAdventures sorry that question was directed to Smith-Smith. I would love to hear his/her wisdom on the topic and was awaiting to be inspired by the answer.

I’ve been interested in that question, as I’ve placed an order for a Bear. My first RE. I did lots of research and struggled to find anything significant with regards to reliability. Weirdly not many examples of people putting big kms on 650 power plant. I found one guy with 80,000+km no issues and another with 100,000+ no issues. Also noticed Himalayan’s racking up big km no issues, I.e Joe Ryan. For the money they look like a solid proposition.

Looks cheap. Like it won’t hold up over time.

Hi, Yes it is built to a price, so you can't expect Triumph like finish, However, Royal Enfield are slowly closing the gap. 3 year warranty. The Interceptor has had no issues so I can't see any problems with the Bear. Thanks for your comment Regards FPPete.

214 kg way to heavy and only 47hp from a 650 no thanks. There’s better and lighter bikes with more every thing now..

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi Stephen, Thanks for your comment. We are very lucky in the motorcycle world to have so much choice, many will not buy a Royal Enfield, however many will. There is nothing better than chatting with mates and discussing what's the best Motorcycle for Road/Off Road/Adventure/Commuting etc. Kind Regards FPPete.

2/1 exhaust is a disaster. Should be 2/2. Collector box under engine will cause issues off road.

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

Hi William, From a Scrambler design point I can see why they went with the 2/1 exhaust. If the bike is used off road I would add a Sump Guard available as an accessory. Thanks for your Comment. Kind Regards FPPete.

2/2 on a scrambler??

[@FULLPELTAdventures]

@@AK-db2ph Maybe a high 2/2 would work, like the Triumph's.
