New 2025 Royal Enfield Bear 650 Announced: Everything You Need To Know @ EICMA 2024

[@johnnyboyV4]

These are gonna fly out of RE showrooms in the uk👍

[@dexterroy]

Triumph and RE. Both these brands are doing well in India.

[@linpawzsukul8431]

MRF= Madras Rubber Factory one of the most common tyre brands in India.

[@Amory98]

They tried to copy Perelli Scorpion in design, but the compound is shit.

[@nihvl]

Wait till you find where Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone,… get their rubber from

[@CringeAFS20]

​@Amory98 block pattern is a standard tyre pattern,,copied? Wtf

[@AndrewRockliff]

Thanks for the EICMA videos, coffees on me :-)

[@motobob]

Very generous! Much appreciated - we'll need a round of espressos in the morning I think after a late night of editing 🙏

[@marcusgeorge1825]

Just love the fact that Quadlock was originally designed and built by a couple of Australian motorbike enthusiasts.

[@nickfindsgold9788]

This is the RE I have been waiting for. 😍

[@joe_Solo1.deVista]

YUP!!! Same here.

[@Roger_Ramjet]

Same but maybe a little more effort to differentiate the tank?​@@joe_Solo1.deVista

[@tejasdk]

1:42 MRF is an Indian brand, it is very popular and it is a trusted brand since 1946. Its share price is $1,520, it’s all time high was $1,820

[@snakepitsam]

I skidded with my MRF tyres on my Bajaj on slightly damp road, changed to Bridgestone tyres and no such thing happens

[@tejasdk]

@snakepitsam I had been using Royal Enfield since 6 years now, these MRF tyres are so good that I never had to deal with such situation.

[@MrRandomLame99]

thanks for the share price lol

[@tejasdk]

@@MrRandomLame99 😂👊🏻✨

[@FraserRobertTorpy]

MRF make very decent cricket bats :D

[@HolyMoleyJoelyPoley]

Geez that's a good looking bike. Love your coverage of EICMA mate, no one else really doing it.

[@akinmoto]

We couldn't make the show this year... so thank you for keeping us updated! Great content.

[@ronak4195]

MRF Madras rubber factory is Indian tyre giant makes one of the best tyres out there.

[@prasunbose3114]

Both UK and lndia love retro jonor motorcycles. So both RE and Triumph are loved and appreciated in both the countries. These two companies have kept the classic bike heritage alive.

[@ourspanishadventures]

Your definitely one of the best if not the best KZbin channel for all bike reviews. Brilliant. 👍👍

[@sankalpgupta6140]

Bro you're rolling with the EICMA, right from the start 👏🏻

[@mencewilkinson9625]

Ordered one.

[@frankpinion4937]

If it's got a 19" front wheel & 130mm travel up front & 115mm at the back then it's not just for the looks. They've also altered the steering geometry & altered the frame at the back of sub frame. Off road focus tyres Better seat, different bars-better brakes. The tank is the same as Interceptor-new TFT from Himalayan & guerilla. Lights are all LED. Foot pegs from the HImalayan & they've been moved. Gearing has been changed slightly to compensate for profile of tyres. 2 into 1 exhaust with a claimed 8% increase in torque. Low Up swept muffler which means you can get 2 bags of luggage on.

[@bootsmcfoolish8499]

No snazzy yellow colour for the UK...!!! No centre stand, and awkward footrest placements others are talking of. Great video, Bob. Thank you.

[@marlonphilgence991]

I’m curious about those stars. Does that make the Triumph Scrambler 400 a one star bike in terms of performance? As someone comparing the scramblers for a purchase? Is it wiser to just save money and jump to the Scrambler 900 for a 3 star experience?

[@tbillington]

Your EICMA videos are great every year.

[@mattwilliams9758]

Been waiting for the bear.

[@hansvancauwenbergh]

Great looking bike especially the golden shadow color option. Thicks al lot of boxes except breaks and tubeless tyres.

[@doubleyoudee]

Nice review! Nice to see you having fun. This is inspiring. Thx. Tell me, how is the bear 650 compared with your Guzzi v7 850? Would you still prefer the Guzzi? And Why? Thx

[@gowthamt9420]

I think triumph should also make a 650 or 660 scrambler 😅

[@mikeogden5256]

Don’t they?

[@gowthamt9420]

@mikeogden5256 not shure 🤷🏻‍♂️. I don't know they even considering make one, considering they need to refresh present scrambler line up just like speed twin and there are rumours they are going to make 250cc bikes collaborating with Bajaj just like speed 400 and scrambler 400x.

[@landonfolken03]

I agree! Or at least a model similar using that 660 engine. I love the Scrambler 900s and have a 400x but I want something in the middle. I love how flickable my 400 is but would love a twin with a little more power, but keep it lighter weight and less expensive.

[@gurbie]

Best-looking (and probably most practical) RE.

[@turbochargersutututu]

The wait is over!!!!

[@manuelalbertodelacruzsarti5501]

Thanks Bro love your videos.

[@alxfamas]

If we look at the characteristics, RE made his own version of the Moto Guzzi V7 Stornello. With a small tank and heavier.

[@JustinMaines]

Is the back half of the front fender removable (it appears to be)? Maybe its to protect the cooler? But, why make it two pieces then? Cool looking bikes. I'd like to get a demo soon!

[@greatbigeye2506]

Edit: It does have a slipper clutch. Tubeless tires and a slip and assist clutch would be nice but otherwise I dig this bike. Of course there are other more expensive bikes that have those features.

[@Latvianization]

It does have slip & assist clutch

[@greatbigeye2506]

@ oh wow nice!

[@landonfolken03]

Yeah the tubed tires really kills it for me. I'm seeing you can get some aftermarket tubeless though so at least there is an option out there, just more money to tack on.

[@billmd91]

Thanks India & England. I'm gonna tattoo the Royal Enfield logo somewhere

[@mihirchitnis905]

MRF is an indian tyre manufacturer, they also make tyres for passenger airplanes and fighter jets apart from the usual 2 wheeler and 4 wheelers.

[@bhoogewerf2823]

Any info from RE on touring accessories for the Bear 650? Centre Stand, saddle stays, mirrors, leg protection guard, aux lights?

[@artstar5994]

Lookin good RE!

[@andulasis6283]

Would you suggest it over the triumph 400x ?

[@basedury]

That 249 paint scheme is killer. Might try to source a tank from that bike and toss it on my Interceptor.

[@viperq]

They are not fast bikes, but REs look good and are affordable.

[@Jonathan-L]

I love the Two Four Nine. I wonder what the fuel tank capacity is?

[@motourvlogs7546]

13.5L

[@JohnWick-lh9gn]

Wow! Scrambler look no need to custom!

[@shubhamgade3876]

For your information @MRF is the biggest tyre manufacturer in india 👍🏻

[@mikeogden5256]

I can’t help but ❤😊love it

[@crg9864]

I believe The reason for this bike’s release is so it can make way for the 2025 interceptor which has been spied testing in India and has dual front discs which makes me feel like there’s going to be a slight bump in power and it’s been spotted with the same brand new tft display

[@duncancleverley6366]

Much to like about the Bear 650 but I won’t be parting with my cash. I don’t like a TFT or USD forks on a retro classic style bike.. just my opinion, other opinions are available. Price is good though.

[@Trackandshield]

Yeah 👍🏿

[@ARay111]

Never heard of MRF ! Could have googled it ol chap. 😊

[@jimbandit1250sa]

I’d prefer twin analog clocks and I’d absolutely buy one if it had these stunning machines 👍🤝🙏👌

[@ukvamp]

Triumph should have put a tft like that on the new speed twin instead of that crap from the trident

[@martinehulme8743]

Love this 🎉

[@JayakrishnanNairOmana]

The only question is whether to wait for the launch of BSA 650 Scrambler in India. The concept unveiled looked the best motorbike I have seen my entire life.

[@C1Rob1990]

Still bummed the yellow is a US/India only color. Was seriously considering getting one of those...

[@graemetaylor629]

you can buy a brand new intercepter 650 for £4699.00 at the moment here in the uk.

[@Davier9999]

Are the tires tubeless?

[@brentcollins9727]

Awesome bike

[@garyarr1]

Can anyone else see yamaha xt 500 resemblances? I like it!

[@umaruchan8828]

Please make a video about KTM new 390 series

[@mikeogden5256]

Same hp as the air cooled sportsters

[@udayshome1793]

MRF madras rubber factory, largest Indian tyre co.

[@idontwantahandle12345]

Air cooled you mention. Is that a rad on the front?

[@RichardWilliams-kf5vw]

Oil cooler

[@M_Jono]

best looking bike ❤

[@Geshmaal]

No centre stand on the bear!?

[@LDDivision]

This was the Enfield I was really waiting for. But I have to say that I'm not impressed with the tubed tires.

[@kommonman.5011]

They really need to change the the Bear pooping logo

[@101BadBreath]

First, thanks for this!

[@bhalchandrakerkar5750]

bybre means by brembo

[@RiderReview]

Great video, but I'm not too keen on it

[@shubhampandey9497]

Royal Enfield is on 🔥

[@fyorbane]

Great looking bike. Shame it doesn't make a little more power. Another 10hp would be nice.

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

You will have to wait for the 750 which is doing the rounds for testing

[@theSahelanthropus]

RE locked its 650 engines at 47hp for a reason. Because its A2 compliant motorcycle.

[@larryhouse3776]

Anything from Indian motorcycle?? There's alot of rumors around them for 2025. But NOTHING official yet.

[@abishekcse]

Flying flea

[@shivam6113]

@@abishekcse bhai wo dusri company ki baat kr rha h

[@DayumSonny]

They should take that J-series engine and make a lighter scrambler version - A baby Bear 350, perhaps.

[@BIGREV-b6k]

A Cub maybe...

[@Sankarnt]

MRF is an Indian brand.

[@roviwoteap2375]

Lovely looking bike, but need a lighter, smaller engined version, say a 450cc. Call it a Bear Cub!

[@garyhull5617]

These will sell.

[@richard9444]

I'm getting one😂

Don't poke The Bear !

For me Triumph clone 😅😅 but still nice job with retro design

[@geoffbroderick403]

looks like it's styled on the fabulous retro yamaha tt500 1976, 127 klm,27 hp ,great looking bike especially the white shame about the gutless engine and massive weight ,

[@jimmyb4982]

I wanna see RE release a bike with a bigger engine.

[@jimmyjam8795]

Will be discounted after a few months. Compared to the Shotgun 650,I think it's pricing is a bit steep! Pleased I didn't wait and bought the SG in the summer.

[@Appu-o3o]

Looks like RX

[@trailblazeratv6306]

Cool bike but I'd rather have a Honda NX500

[@TheGreatestBeyonder]

Your most hectic vid to date!

[@Jacob99174]

They must have a time limit for press 😂

[@CharlesDaleActor]

Right, does everybody see what I see ? The logo on the tank ? Does a bear shit in the woods ? It does on here !

[@tanjimhossain1617]

Tube tire is a big mess😅

[@davidhall370]

It needed black bars n levers 🤦‍♂️

[@Amory98]

This also gets around 8% more torque than all the others RE 650s

[@Trackandshield]

220 kgs no qay

[@bjn6203]

Forgive me but I’m from the USA and I often wonder ( I don’t know their numbers ) but why does royal enfield still get as much if not more coverage than other more popular manufacturers? I’m sure it’s popular in India since it’s produced there but why is it mentioned so much for a motorcycle that’s mediocre..

[@uselesscommentor]

Payouts to influencers

[@darrylredmill4376]

Because they are so popular and have really revived the motorcycle in Europe. Affordable but still of pretty good quality. No not powerful, but 47bhp falls into the oh so lucrative restricted licence band. On British, pot holed , badly surfaced roads these are perfect for those country lane rides where 50mph is plenty.

[@markermetz8664]

Also from the USA, but Royal Enfield sold almost 1 million bikes in the last year. Almost 80k of those were sold outside of Indian. Those numbers are in the same ball park as most other popular manufactures and bigger than some. Motorcycling is more utilitarian abroad. RE give people a touch more power, and more style than the scooters you see all over the world. Not to mention the price point makes it easy for young people to get into two wheels.

[@markermetz8664]

@@darrylredmill4376 I agree with you on those points. They are still a bit of a rarity here in the states, but I think that is because those that do buy are just looking for an urban commuter. We have such massive expanses of highway between cities that a RE is not currently a great choice for pinning your throttle at 70mph for a few hours on end. If you lived in LA however, it would be a solid cheap choice to get around the city. Triumph was smart to jump in on this action with their new 400.

[@ronak4195]

because not everyone want to drive above 120kmph always. This is great for commute and has adequate power for daily rides. Usa has roads designed for cars majorly hence you need fast bike there to travel on the massive roads. But Europe and Asia has normal roads it's best for them.

[@g0ral]

The mono gauge is flop in this bike

[@williammuir638]

Again it needs wire spoked tubeless rims and tubeless tyres. An absolute must today. Get it sorted RE. Otherwise perfection 👌 👍👏👏👏👏 Have a smoke break Bob . I'm knackered keeping up with you.

[@glowingbunny5865]

Just how the feck do you shoot such good content, script and then edit it, so quickly, into something so entertaining? I’ve decided you must be an A.I editing machine…🤖

[@ZGubidan96]

Big minus is that have air cooling which means that with 40 ish hp bike is underpovered. Like they didn't learn anything with the previous himalyan.....

[@billumandal]

People lik high torque low rev non liquid cooled engines. That’s an USP of RE.

[@yannishkhanna3403]

If you don’t know mrf you are not a moto vlogger

[@ogofog9120]

Is it called a bear because it’s a naked…or does it like to shit oil in the woods?

[@adityan3208]

RE won a race called Big Bear in the US, it's referencing that

[@ajinkyachavan5743]

The exhaust is ugly.. rest it’s good

[@Ritte13]

It looks like something pulled out of the canal
