EICMA 2024: Royal Enfield 4K

[@collyernicholasjohn]

0:18 that Classic 650 behind you is gorgeous. Bloody hell.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

The do look great. RE do classic bikes better than they do modern ones.

[@stevesanelli90]

Thanks Andre! Royal Enfield are in on everything.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

You can have whatever you like, as long as it's powered by a 350 single, a 650 twin a 450 watercooled single or batteries! I guess they know their market.

[@Big_Tyrone138]

The new Classic 650 in teal is so beautiful. I hope they release luggage options, a windshield, and a two person seat+ Rear footpeg options. I was originally looking to upgrade to the Super Meteor, but this is so amazing.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

That would be cool!

[@michaelreid2329]

Royal Enfield are knocking the competition out of the park! Great styling..

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Who do you see as their competition?

[@saikrishnathiwakarrk]

​@@PeakMotorcycles has of now they are already competing with triumph for almost 6 years. But for now it think the only way they can really up a bit is but taking over a 750 or a 850. And then Triumph will geuinely to up there game.

[@mklschwrtz2]

The Guerilla in bronze looks damn good. Imagine that with two analogue gauges and not that off-centre semi-smartphone. Would look incredible!

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup. Some bikes look better with the analogue gauges

[@knottytoob]

650 Classic...oooh!

[@PeakMotorcycles]

😁

[@sud5529]

Excellent coverage, thanks. Lovely lineup from RE too :)

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@IanSixbikes-by6ei]

Royal Enfield produce some fantastic bikes that are really good value for money, I'm always impressed by the colour options available (the European & Japanese manufacturers should take note) the new 650 Bear looks good the only design feature I am not keen on is the low slung exhaust, a Scrambler inspired bike really should have a high level exhaust.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

They do, and definitely value for money. They do seem to be better at modern classics than new, new, but that's just fine. I do like the colours on the retro Kawasaki Z's too, especially the 900RS.

[@Yuvraj948]

Well, you can always opt for aftermarket exhausts and Royal Enfield motorcycles are very flexible in that regard

[@enduromotorradtouren]

How many bikes does RE produce each year? More than KTM, BMW and Triumph combined. Great that they invest it in bikes that also appeal to European tastes. Keeping my fingers crossed for them, Günter/Nürnberg

[@PeakMotorcycles]

A significant number for the domestic market and whatever is left for the rest of the world.

[@atulpandey0119]

Your video quality is so much better . I am from India and all the automobile journalists that have went to the show are probably not even using good camera ,I would be surprised if they were even using a new generation smartphone camera ,they are probably shooting videos on a 2013 phone . Thank you for the excellent coverage sir . The flying flea in your video looks so much better while on other channels it looks so worse . I even doubted how could Royal Enfield allow such a crude design but I was so wrong . Thanks a lot for better quality videos . Keep making them .

[@WarriorOfTheSunset]

I think he is using a good ND filter... Making the colors look at their truest...

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Not sure my gear is that fancy. I use a Sony ZV-1 II with a Rode Go2 wireless mic. I think getting the sound right is almost more important than the video (Though both are needed). Some parts of EICMA are very noisy with music thumping away. That said, some stands are quite dark too (Honda...) which makes filming difficult. I do what I can.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Unfortunately not. Just the ZV-1 II (In prior years I was using the ZV-1, but the lens wasn't quite wide enough with the image stabilisation on.

[@douganderson771]

Royal Enfield = Strike while the iron is hot. What a great selection of machines, can't wait until HD starts whining about unfair conditions.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

🤣 It is unfair of RE to make economical motorcycles that work and don't need as much polish as a HD and cost a lot less!

[@geneclarke2205]

Don't worry, the Trump tariffs are coming but HD's sales will continue to decline as inflation and interest rates will remain sticky. The only issue with my US RE dealer, they won't see some of these new bikes until next Fall and they seem to get the leftovers. I guess the Brits get the first choice. American needs to revolt against England. Oh, wait, we did!!!

[@1990-t1j]

The 650 Classic looks well, especially in that green. Ditto the Bear, although the latter is something of a poor-man's Yamaha SCR950. Nick

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup.

[@zubinindian]

Quality Content...

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks

[@mehulbanga7287]

good stuff Andre!

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks

[@himydad1499]

Nice... that last one seems a customized shotgun, not a classic. Such a great brand.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks, and apologies for getting that one wrong. It was towards the end of the day. Could you tell!?!

[@angelatanurdzic7508]

Awesome video 🔥

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks 🔥

[@andyc750]

They are certainly making the most of what they have, other manufacturers could use Enfield as an example of how to make things interesting at reasonable cost, hoping they bring a bigger engine out sooner rather than later but as is they are doing great with what they are doing

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup, they are.

[@timdew3150]

Great coverage from the show. I like the bear and flying flea 👍

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks

[@gaza1952]

F the flying flea.

[@adityahabbu7463]

Was expecting the 650 twin Himalayan ,,,very disappointed ,,but the line up is crazy ❤❤

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I don't think that will ever exist. I think the 650 twin and gearbox is just too heavy. The Bear may be as close as they get. I do think there will be a bigger displacement engine coming, but it'll be a different type of engine. Let's see.

[@adityahabbu7463]

@PeakMotorcycles actually there was testing done in ladakh India ,there are many pics too but I guess they'll release it 2026,

[@peakrider4886]

So no updates to the Himalayan then? RE really needed to address 2 issues with the bike, firstly the sidestand which is too short and they’ve admitted so themselves, and secondly, the front mudguard needed raising as it doesn’t give enough clearance when fitting knobbly tyres, and it soon chokes up with mud, as was demonstrated at their launch event in Utah. In addition, as it’s a fly-by-wire throttle, there was an opportunity to add more rider modes and cruise control.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Not yet, but I suppose it's been just a year and they've been focussing on the new models. Do you have one, and if so, what do you think of the 450MT? They were launched at the same time and folks seemed to have gone one way or the other. I went for the MT, but did see them as similar. I'm sure the MT will have it's initial problems too.

[@peakrider4886]

@ I don’t but it’s a sector of the market I am looking to purchase something next year.. possibly. I have a home-built modified KLE 500 which all these bikes would be competing against. Still looking for the unicorn and maybe the MT, or one of the other 450’s from Keeway, Mondial, or Moto Morini might be the one that beats it. Also keen to see the new Kawasaki KLE which they have disguised at the show and not revealed yet.

[@বোকা_বাঘ]

can you please cover icon custom company, they make too beautiful bikes?

[@VapidUsername]

If those Flying Fleas are priced well i suspect they're going to snag a lot of new riders, and city commuters. The young new riders don't have the petrol nostalgia and built in suspicions of EV's us old folks do, and in my experience in places like high congestion places like London, Paris, Brussels a small bike is far nicer to get to work on than a big lump.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup. It's an interesting step.

[@aryansinha4771]

That Bear 650 looks like bike from game "Days gone"

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Not a game I know so I'll take your word for it!

[@Sr.D]

There's something wrong with the classic 650 rear mudguard, it should resemble more the forms of the 350 one

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I'm sure they'll sort it if it stops sales...

[@silverback3926]

The classics need the sprung seat from the 500 classic. Its the most comfortable seat. Next they should use the tubeless spoke rims

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yes on the seat, but for the wheels, do you think the tubeless spoke rims (laced to the outside edge) work on a classic looking bike?

[@silverback3926]

@PeakMotorcycles yes. Look at the hymalain. Very passable

[@musguelha14]

@@PeakMotorcycles They could do it to an inside lip like Suzuki do on their VStroms.

[@vishavjeetsaini6901]

3 engines 12 bikes or 2 engines 10 bikes or 1 engine 6 bikes. RE should focus on developing new engines now or stop launching the same engine in a new body.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Engines are expensive to develop. They only way they can make this work at the price is by using them in multiple models.

[@martythemartian99]

6:43 Pink? Looks more lavender to me. 🤪Captain Pedant strikes again.😁

[@PeakMotorcycles]

It won't be the last time. 🤣

[@kanderson4417]

Are R.E. going to offer their digital speedometer on the shotgun?

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I'm sorry but I don't know. It depends how they classify it... the new 650 classics have the analogue dials, the new 650 Bear has the digital, so it definitely works with the 650 platform. My guess is only if there's a facelift for the Shotgun. Not sure about retrofit as it normally requires a lot of rewiring sensors which isn't cost effective.

[@musguelha14]

The Flying Flea can carry two, but the passenger pegs are on the swingarm which must feel odd at the very least.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup. That's a lot of unsprung weight over a bump. Perhaps it's to let the passenger stand!?

[@anandnairkollam]

RE Going the Bajaj way. One engine multiple designs and models.

[@VikasJaink]

The last bike is shotgun and not classic. good job showing all bikes. Thank you.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks for the correction!

[@sameerafarheen3857]

Eicher Motors the parent company of Royal Enfield Motorcycles should launch Eicher Motorcycles and Scooters just like FlyingFlea Electric Motorcycles.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Are Eicher not more known for their trucks?

[@DPac9]

Moto of RE : Confuse the 💩 out of everyone 😅

[@PeakMotorcycles]

🤣

[@puneetsingh34]

Re has milked that 650 engine so much, it's time they develop a twin cylinder liquid cooled engine and put it inside the Himalayan.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup, though singles have been their thing for a long time, other than the 650

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Yup, though singles have been their thing for a long time, other than the 650

[@부군코코]

클래식650 존나 이쁘구만. 엔진만 650이 아니라 좀더 큰걸 써줬으면 완벽했을텐데

[@PeakMotorcycles]

It’s all they have. For now at least.

[@Yuvraj948]

Heard RE are developing a 750cc engine. Let's just wait I guess

[@navinu577]

🎉

[@PeakMotorcycles]

Thanks

[@stephenbryson5618]

There’s only so many people want these bikes most just set in the garage. nothing much new from royal Enfield same old same.

[@PeakMotorcycles]

I think their biggest market is the domestic on in India, where a 45hp 650 twin is a big bike and the fastest thing on the road. Outside of India there's a lot more competition. I see quite a few on the roads in the UK though.

[@deltabluesdavidraye]

Nonsense

[@ianfutcher1518]

RE motorcycles are flying off the shelves. Many older riders are extending their time on bikes by downsizing to RE. I know of several in my club who have done this this year.

[@bongxp]

They sold 100000 units last month just in India, 30000 in overseas. RE has different fan base.

[@devonbikefilms]

Some of us ride them on long tours. They are really well built and way more reliable that some Built Mostly Wobbly machines😜
