In fact, you are an amazing and adventurous person. You have managed to change the identity of this bike. I don't know how to describe my admiration for this wonderful work. It is amazing that the power of this bike is 650, meaning it is better than your previous bike. Thank you for this great video, road captain✔🏁🏳✌

[@mykrojas]

This build actually solved my problem (in my head) I really was torn in between the choosing an adv bike, or getting an RE (interceptor) as I really loved the engine and esthetically and didn't really like Himalayan. Now I can get the both. With this kind of build. Thanks.

[@Ride_XP]

Hehe glad to help! Since RE won’t make a 650 Himalayan it’s up to us to find a way hahaha

[@imochasingh6875]

Man like your mod. Pirelli is the most beautiful tyre of all for me

[@Ride_XP]

I agree!

[@bushpig6837]

Shinko 804/805 tyres look similar to those Pirellis but last way longer, they're also very good in the wet and a lot cheaper than bigger brands. I'm on my 5th set and can't recommend them enough. I like your scrambler.

[@Ramadas.T.D]

Since you already got a performance air filter and exhaust, piggyback ecu will utilise these to improve throttle response and some power. this is mod is upto you since it is expensive and if you find the power of bike adequate already then this will just be bonus.

[@richardahola692]

I subscribed when I saw your introduction. Still waiting for the 650 Himalayan. A slightly modified road bike would work well

[@anan7s294]

About that exhaust, if they are obstrusive you can try Moto Wings Trident Exhaust, they are slightly bent parellel to the road surface and sound quite when idle or low rpm and boomy at high revs. It adds 1.9 HP too, check it out it you fancy. & HJG LED Headlights and fog lights, comes in different styles look for it on youtube

My only concern is that isn't it a bit big and heavy for a scrambler! Most of the original ones were more in the 300 to 500

[@Ride_XP]

That it is! But still lighter than a big ADV. So I wouldn’t take it on anything too gnarly.

Thank you!

[@vimeetgautam7679]

Hello, I think you should go with a 19 inch front rim, with a 100/90-19 or a 90/90-19 tyre setup. The rim setup would increase the off-roading capabilities dramatically. I guess the stock outer tube can easily accomodate a 19 inch front rim.

[@Ride_XP]

Definitely curiously to see how it would handle a 19in front! Might try it next tyre change.

[@vimeetgautam7679]

@@Ride_XP I would put a video with a 19-17 inch rim setup on my Inty.

Thanks! Holding off on that for now because of the expense. I’m also a bit wary of the heat for a high-mounted scrambler exhaust.

[@martinsinclair55]

@@Ride_XP mount lower like flat tracker

[@Avigazed]

It's a beautiful bike. How does your build compare with a stock build, in terms of height and rider position? Also, can the stock build be raised?

[@Ride_XP]

My bike is taller and currently has even taller and wider handlebars than in this video. You can make the bike taller by getting a bigger rear tire and by raising the forks, just make sure you still balance the geometry. Or, you can get the 2Win TRAIL shock absorbers which add an inch, I think, and then get a 19in front wheel to balance it out.

[@warsonj.a.6145]

Nice review. Question, did you try your Interceptor or maybe GT with OBR in traffic. Bcz it is really mabigat especially the interceptor. I’m also 5’7 btw. planning to buy either of the two..

[@Ride_XP]

Yup! I’m used to riding with my tall girlfriend on a scooter, which is really affected by the weight of a pillion. It changes the handling of the scooter a lot. So when she backrides on the Interceptor I find it easy enough because the bike isn’t so affected by the weight, and it glides smoothly when preload on the rear shocks are set for a pillion.

[@eyeballinthewoods7813]

Hi dude New subscriber here from India,

[@Ramadas.T.D]

There are rumors that 450cc Himalayan coming up. No need a bike right now but wondering whether I should wait for it.

[@Itspako8]

Beautiful bike mate! So in other words what mods have you done to make it more taller? I do want to make mine a bit taller (full stock) since the seat height is on the lower side. Cheers!

[@Ride_XP]

You can: - bring up the forks - change to a thicker rear tire - change to a 19 in front wheel, and balance it further with the longer shocks sold by Baak I think that's about it!

[@Itspako8]

@@Ride_XP thank you so much!

[@yogid21]

That's a very nice setup bro, even though it's not my cup of tea. I spend my money more on riding and touring. Like most Pinoys here in the UK, they are more on upgrading their bike and not actually on the real fun on riding.

Hi bro, if you’re based in NCR, just message Jun R Ferrer on Facebook!

[@thebrightrider]

I think it's very interesting what you did here :) Comparing this to the Himalayan probably isn't fair, but still, do you think this scrambler version competes with the offroad capabilities of the Himalayan?

[@Ride_XP]

I would say that it’s surprising how tractable the power still is! I was able to tractor through similar to the Himalayan through some sections. It’s not intimidating at all. But the Himalayan is lighter, has much more suspension travel, and has a lower seat height than my Interceptor hahaha. I would still feel far more confident tackling scarier terrain in the Himalayan. That bike was made to take a beating!

[@John_Ridley]

Pretty much guarantee that all of those rear lights would be illegal in the US. Front lights too especially that color changing headlight.

[@CM-1988]

Hey dude! Where did you have your rear wheels assembled? I noticed you're from QC! Im from there too! I have been watching your channel since the Kymco Like days and must say it just gets better with every episode. I own a Continental GT 650 by the way. The rear 18 inch tires are so difficult o find!

[@BlackdogADV]

Good video! I thinking of doing an adventure bike build with the 19”/17” wheels. One thing that’s stopping me is the short fuel range of this bike. Is there any larger tanks available? Is there a way to mount hard luggage like the Zega Pros from Touratech? I want a bike I can do epic trips on. Thanks

[@Ride_XP]

Hi! Unfortunately I've never heard of any, it will probably need to be a custom job. The short clearance to the twin pipes also limits the ability to mount any hard luggage without some kind of custom fitting.

[@karlsmith2570]

Are you considering getting a the big bore kit to convert it from 650cc to 865cc??

[@Ride_XP]

Oh, not at all, pretty expensive and it will mess a lot with the character of the bike based on Stuart Fillingham's review. It'll be wilder, vibier, and I would bet less reliable. I think I would rather get an XSR700 if I wanted a faster (and lighter) retro bike that can wheelie for days hehe

[@paullabiste7541]

Pano kaya kung e compare niyo sa scram 411 na?

Going to be very hard to decide which Enfield I want after just sitting on a few. Interesting vid done by Stuart Fillingham re camshaft for Himi/Scram. I had ruled out the Scram/Himi but after seeing them in the flesh I like the extra height! Weirdly the Interceptor didnt do much for me if anything Meteor supernova and the Scram are my favourites.
