Hit or Miss? Royal Enfield Scram 411 Motorcycle Review. On Road; Off Road and The Ol' Man Gets Lost!

[@dedosauro]

I bought my Himalayan thanks to you and i think i never enjoyed a motorcycle so much, i fell like royal Enfield brings back all the things we have lost about motorcycling in the last years. I hope more people will try these bikes because it's a real pleasure to find something you never realized you lost long time ago.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

That’s excellent. Yes agreed 👍🏼👍🏼

[@littlefishy6316]

I agree, bikes like the Scram are great "hop on" bikes for a range of reasons. I love the smaller cc bikes

[@chidizzy6633]

​@@MrDarcy-OlMan I test rode a scram yesterday and really enjoyed it the thing that's holding me back is the service intervals

[@Plough78]

I'm in chiang Mai. Just been in the enfield show room... My head says no but my heart screams yes... The scram so tempting.. As is the hunter.. *Crap Game*

[@chrestensrensen2486]

you got the fine clou of this little minimalistic maschine an I love it too here in Norway and my wife too:

[@bikerbeliever8169]

The filming and scenery in these videos is top notch. Seriously the best very good job.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼

[@aspectcarl]

Very much so, a treat to watch 🙂

[@per-arnehjorth9785]

"Slow children playing" 😂👍 Now, one year later, I got this Scram 411 myself and I love it! I have ridden it around 3500 kms since June 20, and I have been to places I never thought I could reach before. The only con so far is of course I cannot match the acceleration of the big twins my comerades ride, but given a few more seconds, I catch up! 😁👍

[@greenfuelbooster]

i love my Scram 411. I drive slow and sure with my cars. I drive slow and sure with my motorbikes. I love the slow life make me appreciate nature a bit more compared to the adrenaline rush of speeding up :)

[@baar_nii]

You guys are one of my favorite motorcycle review channels for a while now. You give us viewers the same charm, that you get when riding a no-frills, no-gimmicks motorcycle. Original, and doesn't try to be pleasing to the masses. Please stay this way.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@evoermine]

Your best video to date. Mooching about the lanes on a bike, farms, old churches, slow children playing…perfect!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy! I shall definitely do more like this 👍🏼

[@hopgood007]

My son and I have both been following you guys for a while now, and this review really summed up why we do. The laid back style, with just enough stats, and then showing what the bike really does best (exploring the beatiful Welsh countryside) is what a bike review is all about for me. There are certain KZbinrs (no names) who review bikes and take one corner commenting "its' extremely flickable" ... really?? Please keep on doing what you do...the extra scenes, the comedy, you guys just being you. Oh and 'Slow Children'? I used to live in the Fens ... there were quite a few 'slow' children there (if you know what I mean).

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks Paul! Really glad you liked it. I thought I’d try out something a bit different and wasn’t sure how it would go down. Much appreciated. One of my dogs is from the fens. 👍🏼

[@dr.abyscharles]

Yeah. Its called the saree guard and a legal requirement for motorbikes in India ( in case someone didnt answer earlier) . Loved the video

[@whatsstefon]

I might be biased, having a Himalayan. But I agree. Riding back from the DGR a month ago, I took the single lanes from Bathurst to almost make it home. Tootling along at a gentlemanly pace, hitting dirt and gravel, unsealed roads with potholes, bumps and mud. The Himi just plodded along like nothing changed. I would assume the Scram would be quite similar. A more powerful bike would have only done one thing better. Got me home faster. The funny part is… when you’re riding a bike, why would you want it to be over sooner? Think about that one. 👌🏻

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Really good points there buddy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@hiltonmcconnell2563]

If there is a good woman and a good meal waiting for you, great after a long days ride. Then bough head out for a evening ride. Sounds good to me.

[@phils2180]

That's probably THE nicest looking bike RE have produced to date, EXCEPT for those daft looking yellow covers! You didn't show us the brackets but I'd be tempted to saw them off if they can't be unbolted. I also love the minimalist approach to instrumentation on motorcycles unlike the "command module" approach on some much more expensive high tech offerings. The huge push towards battery power is a big con IMO. In addition to the environmental impact of actually making them, people buy EV's, declare themselves "emission free", then take it home and charge it from the grid with electricity still generated largely by fossil fuels! What a joke!😂

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. We’re doing a second video and can show that. Yes agreed on all points 👍🏼👍🏼

[@motormk1152]

I bought the red and white one in India

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

@@motormk1152 excellent!

[@dontmesswiththeman]

There are color scheme options available that don’t come with those panels so I imagine they’re easily removable.

[@Gnerko123]

Even when charged using coal power plants, an ev car has lower lifetime emissions than one with an internal combustion engine. For a motorcycle, this is even more pronounced, as ev motorcycles have smaller batteries than ev vars and ice motorcycles have less efficient engines than ice cars.

[@Trevor_Austin]

What really counts is smiles per mile. You don’t need excessive horsepower to enjoy yourself. So it’s great that RE gives us these excellent bikes at such a good price. Thank you for your review that covered more than just the bike.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes absolutely right. Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼

[@andrewmarsh6091]

Your respect for history really made that review for me. You are definitely my tribe!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy 🙏

[@85waspnest]

What a good Sunday afternoon watch, slightly different to your usual reviews. I've been toying with the idea of buying a Scram and after watching many reviews, yours is pushing me closer to the edge than the rest.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much. Yes I really liked it 👍🏼👍🏼

[@adamsimper6364]

Love this channel. It’s like having a chat about bikes with a mate. Fully agree with your comments about smaller bikes to get to pootle about. I’ve got a Rocket 3R Black, but I find myself going for my Scrambler for most outings for that reason. It feels like ‘the pressure is off’ on a smaller bike and it’s great fun

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Yes well put; that’s exactly it 👍🏼💯

[@michaellipman6065]

I just rewatched this video. Why? Because I had the good fortune to test ride 4 RE bikes today, and this one blew me away. I admit that the classic 350 is the most beautiful RE bike, bit I had trouble getting my boot under the shifter. The meteor disappointed in the comfort department, and although the int650 had the most refined motor, it lacked a bit at low revs, and the rear brake was mushy. The Scram just floored me with a near perfect riding position, and the seat was not anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. The bike was agile, had just the right power to weight ratio, and sounded very nice. As always, you really”get” what these bikes are all about in your videos. I enjoyed watching it again🙂

[@finderskeepers7293]

I totally agree with you on your take on electric vehicles right now and the huge carbon footprint they leave just to manufacture and run them. 👍🏻

[@philelsey7639]

What a truly enjoyable review so many other youtubers are all about big torque and speed i Always thought motorcycle riding was about enjoying the surroundings

[@BluuSkyz]

Just bought this bike in colombia. Used with 4000km and a lot of extras. Here for a year and been eyeing one of these for a while.

[@ColinC33]

I am living on a paradise island in Thailand at the moment. I was actually thinking about buying a 350 scooter to get around on but after seeing this I am sold on the scram. They biggest danger here is sand on the roads its worse than ice and to get to my home on the side of a steepish hill this ticks the boxes. Thanks for your channel you come across as a lovely man and like me appreciates nature.

[@mollerthereal]

I’m really liking the attitude and demeanor and personality on this channel. Good stuff.

[@grominwithrob1339]

I really like that bike. Price is great and it doesn’t look like a transformer. Tired of bikes looking like plastic toys. I think this will fit the bill perfectly. I do city commutes, and country lanes only. I have no desire to take my trucks or motorcycles on the expressways. I am about 5’7” and 175lbs about once or twice a week I do a 90mile ride at 55-60mph. I think this bike should be able to handle that pretty easily with my stature and weight. Now I just have to find one, closest Royal Enfield dealer from me is about 100 miles from me one way.

[@grumpysprout3505]

I had a Himalayan and it was good, now own a Scram and absolutely love it lighter,more comfortable, and just great fun 😀

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

OK that’s great 👍🏼👍🏼

[@eltonl473]

Have to admit that i only recently discovered your channel,but wow! Totally love the way you both present and so refreshing to watch. Over the past few weeks i literally binge watched all previous reviews. Keep on the good work!!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated 👍🏼👍🏼

[@OSKAR11AU]

Any bike that gives you the grin factor is worth buying!! And these Enfields do it!! Greetings from Brisbane, Australia 👋

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes absolutely 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SQTierHog]

Pausing it over 5 minutes in (I apologize to everyone, my memory just isn't what it used to be, I'll try not to be a pest) to share that another unique feature that these gentlemen throw in on their reviews is on their destination, they pause and comment about the scenery such as an old church, this old farm, etc. I really enjoy this, I hope they keep it in their videos!

[@bencopestake6951]

What a great view point, "rubbish brakes are a safety aid, stops you going to fast". Ooo that made me laugh out load. You must be part of some sort of vintage bike group with thoughts like that. Great video.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Hopefully you got the irony 👍🏼

[@peterbigblock]

This is my next bike. I have a Speed Triple that goes as fast as you can stand, I don’t need to go fast. I want to clod around on trails and fire roads and still be able to ride to and fro. The Scram 411 is perfect for that. And it looks brilliant, like a real motorcycle made out of aluminum and steel with proper spoked wheels.

[@pablodebella7695]

That "yellow cover" is not to cover up the bracket where the bars would go, it is a bumper for when you fall so you dont damage the bike, if you actually check it out you will notice its mounted directly to the frame making it extra sturdy, because scram bikes are made to go off road where you may fall off a lot and in this way with that bumper you avoid a lot of damage to the bike.

[@cliffmelhuish]

me and my brother bought Himalayan 's a year ago. We are both in our late 50's and have loads of bikes over the years. RE and particularly the Himalayan are brilliant. Takes us back to the 80's. So much fun. Great video. Thanks.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Yes they are great! 👍🏼

[@devonbikefilms]

I liked these, but in the end went for a 350 classic, just because I liked the ride more. It just seems that Royal Enfield are knocking it out of the park at the minute. I really think you can’t go wrong with any of them. Can’t wait to pick mine up this coming week. Looking forward to a trip around Wales in September before going off to the alps for a few weeks on it next year as well. Life in the slow Lane can be a great way to travel.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Couldn’t agree more. Good luck with the new bike 👍🏼👍🏼

[@murrayhyde4902]

I'm a year behind... re watching some of your older videos. Your comments around environmentally friendly bikes etc (around 9 or 10 minutes in) makes so much sense in so few words... keep it up. Muz from Oz.

[@markwilliamson2795]

The cattle near the end of video seem to know your jacket....maybe an old friend....lol...

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Haha yes maybe 😬

[@ethereal_synapse]

Did not know this bike existed until now. I'm excited to see it's also coming to the states later this year. This video just gave me another bike to be on the fence about for my next purchase...

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼

[@reneroozendaal5493]

As a short ass, 5ft 7 I'll probably buy a scram, especially after watching this video. Thanks Stu.

[@jlgm7381]

Loved the review as always and the scenery you have chosen. RE must be really pleased the way you present their Bikes!!

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much! I hope so. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@SQTierHog]

Just about 2 minutes in, thought I would pause just to mention what others have mentioned, and that is the scenery is absolutely beautiful, but the opening shot here, at a distance from The Ol' Man, viewing through the tall grass, shots like this just makes me addicted to these gentlemen's content, Bravo! Now back to the video...

[@jameslovell9864]

Bought this bike a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely love it. As said in the video. Just keeps you wanting to explore roads you wouldn't dream of riding along normally.. 24 bhp.Who cares.? Anymore would spoil the bike.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Yes indeed. Thanks buddy

[@alandean2]

I liked the format of this video. It placed the bike in settings that highlighted its potential

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much 👍🏼

[@trishrouelle9215]

I believe you just helped me to decide: The Scram411 is the next one! TKU. Great video - beautiful!

[@barriegreenbury2498]

I really enjoyed that review. The Scram 411 does seem to evoke that "just keep going" type of feeling. The minimal amount of specification data is ideal as is the additional shots of the countryside you are travelling in and the old stone church. Made me start think about next weekend's ride. And perhaps the cow may have recognised its sister you were wearing on your back. 🤔 Thankyou, looking forward to next review/ride

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated. Haha you may be right 👍🏼👍🏼

[@The_Hereticus]

I've seen many reviews about this bike, but you really convinced me, thank you... amazing video

There is a Slow Dog Kennel on our road and I agree with you they are easier to avoid than fast dogs!

Not as fancy as Fort-9 but I must say the white lumberjack of a man look is becoming. I've almost attained it. Nice choice of music. Inspiring and pleasant all round.

Thanks buddy. Welcome aboard 👍🏼👍🏼

[@AjarnSpencer]

Depends what you want to use it for like most bikes, and your expectations. But for me on the Thai island of Koh Lanta where roads are very varied, and sometimes nonexistent, this bike is the perfect vehicle. I have a Ducati Night Shift scrambler (too fast and high revs for this island), and a Harley 1200 sportster (can ride on the island but the holes in the road break my ass.. I take the scram 411 more than any of the three bikes for daily use. It is a lovely bike to ride i have been riding one for 2 months now. It likes low revs. The bike comes with knobbly tires in Thailand as standard, and i believe we do not have those A2 or A5 limitations you have in UK, so the bikes here in Thailand perform slightly differently. I dont have a licence never made one been riding since age 10, in Thailand its a 2 quid fine endless no other punishment for no license or helmet. So i just get caught 2 times a year and pay 3 quid and drive on (you can keep driving even though you dont have a licence after you pay). I miss the bikes of the eighties, and the Royal Enfields bring me that sensation again the overhead single bop bop bop bop sound and the simplicity and easy to maintain. All the old screws and nuts that anyone can fix with a spanner and a screwdriver like in the old days. They don't ask you for a licence when you buy a car or bike here in Thailand. If they enforced that, ninety percent of the farming population wouldn't be able to drie their pickups to go get the rice from the field, as Thai farmers and villagers out in the country can't pass a driving test. I love living far away from all those Europe and UK strict dystopian rules

Thanks for the interesting comment. Nanny state here is literally into everything! And people think we’re a free country 👍🏼👍🏼

[@critterIMHO]

More videos like this one please. I love how you showed so much more than just the bike. But getting to your question: slow children need love and a place to play just like everyone else, and the cities have proven to be too dangerous for them.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. I thought we’d try to show the lifestyle of riding and exploring a bit more. Yes you never know what’s playing round the next corner 😁

[@roydenmills9134]

I LOVE the small covers on the lower front of each side of the tank. Aesthetically those drew my eye first and they are such a rad, little detail. I’m amazed when people complain about them or take them off. They’re unique, in my mind, in such a positive way.

I bought the Himalayan

I’m considering this for the very same reason. I’m 2 hours from the PA wilds BDRx

[@roryingram9332]

I've probably watched this 3 times now, I went to a local Royal Enfield yesterday in Glasgow to see the Scram in the flesh and I'm really taken by it for all the reasons you mention in the video. Going to the Edinburgh dealer today to check out other colour options. It's refreshing to find a larger gent reviewing bikes too as I'm 6ft3 and >17stone so size and suspension are always a factor with bikes. Cheers

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Great! Thanks buddy. Good luck with that 💯

[@Rick-ve5lx]

As a Himalayan rider I’d recommend one over the Scram. Mine handles better with a passenger than without so I’m guessing it’ll like your weight. Also the seat is flatter and won’t crush your prunes. And it has a rear rack.

Now I have bought this fine maschine and my wife love the maschine too. It is wonderfull to drive here in Norway. Wonderfull because and now listen - the horsepower i at the bottom - so we have had a super hollyday round about in Norways beautifullest and smallest ways in our beautifull mountainfilled country. AND THE RE SCRAM 411 DID IT SUPERB. I do not now thinking of buying a BMW R1200 GS or buy a Triumph 900 or buy even the superfine Suzuki 650 V-Strom which is a superb middelclasstravellerbike - no doubt. But here in NOrway we have not many motorways and me and my wife loved the little great reliable Royal Enfield Scram 411. It gives you a way to enjoy the fine nature in a better way - we talked about and why buy more then you need. A fine maschine which now has become a member of our motorcyclefamily.

[@lewgarner8834]

Had a go on a Scram yesterday and I confess didn't enjoy it nowhere near as much as I thought I would. To me it felt like an oversized cheap 125. Tried an Interceptor afterwards, cracking bike. Not fast, but extremely easy and satisfying to ride. Think I know what to save the pennies for now 🙂

[@dongorsegner4607]

Absolutely enjoy your reviews, I returned to riding after 30 years. Spent a lot of years climbing mountains......kids are grown, I’m a grandpa......I enjoy the smiles per miles on a motorcycle cruise. I see so much more on side roads

[@ScooterintheSticks]

Thank you for the excellent, insightful review of the Scram 411. I purchased my Himalayan this past January to ride in the mountains here but had been wondering if I shouldn't have waited for the Scram. I think it would have definitely been able to handle most of the riding I do but I'm happy to live with the Himalayan. I was hoping you would have provided a glimpse of the waterfall. And the hippies. We don't see many here in Pennsylvania anymore and when I do they're usually in a Volvo. The VW Bus hippies have all given way to the van life hipsters who buy all the decent VW buses! As always, your videos are great.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much. We’ll have to sneak back to film them! We did show the waterfall in our tour of Wales video last year 👍🏼

[@danielmcneil3004]

Congrats on hitting 50k and beyond. Very good videos and well deserved. I am definitely a Royal Enfield convert and have become a big fan of the brand as a result of your channel and several others who have done reviews.

[@Havoc7991s]

I 100% agree on the EV bit. I'm in the US, and we're jumping on that band wagon faster than anyone can think of the consequences. It's sad how we have to destroy something before we understand how bad it is. As for this review, I like watching your reviews. I'm a little bit taller than you are and all legs. I can see how you fit the bikes and think my posturing is about the same, so I value your input greatly. I'm looking to trade my Duc in for a dual sport and looking at all the possibilities. Still leaning on a Suzuki DR650S. But really like the Yamaha TW200 and now this Royal Enfield Scram. I like the "put put" bikes that can get really slow so I can take in the scenery, but with the highways I have around me, I need a bigger engine to hit those speeds so I don't become road pizza. Thanks for the review Brother!

[@Motoreger]

The Honda CRF300Rally it's a very good looking motorcycle! An also reliable.I don't think you should regret buying it! Honda is still Honda even if it is more "modern"!

[@discoveror9576]

my motto: It's not the destination; it''s the journey. The cafe style appeals to my eye more than modern sport or Adventure bikes. My biggest objection to R.E. bikes is the WEIGHT. I was told that weight (ALWAYS) matters ... and I believe it. That's why I think that for puttering about, the 316 pound Honda CB 300R makes a world of sense - even though I'm not so keen on its sport bike look.

The 411 is good value. It would look better with a flat seat, in my eyes. I agree about your comments about electric vehicles. I'd rather have my 390 Duke than a 411. Better engine, suspension and gearbox. It runs on tubeless tyres. Mind you, I always rode on tubed tyres in the old days. Everyone did. Good video. You live in a beautiful area. I like the donkey.

Yes agreed 💯 Thanks buddy 👍🏼

I went with the KTM 390 Adventure bets of bough worlds and of course the DR650 in the stable as well.

Excellent views of the countryside and machine! That wanderlust factor on a motorcycle is a great selling point for me.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Yes 💯

I could not help but notice your Premier helmet. My very first full face helmet, many year ago, was a Premier, Mine was candy blue and white. Also, I very much enjoyed your video and am in agreement with your thoughts. Oh, and I LOVE churches both new and old. We have one near us in New York State, USA. It was built by German settlers in 176o, older than our country.

Yes I had an old mx one years back. Love the fit and quality. Thanks for your comments 👍🏼

Great video, mate. Thank you. I am just in the process of purchasing a Himalayan. Did a test ride last week and loved it. My current ride is a Ducati Multistrada 950S that has everything but is simply too complex, twitchy, expensive and unmaintainable. Previously I've owned BMW R1200GSA, Ducati Multistrada 1200, KTM 950 and of course the trusty Suzuki DR650 as adventure bikes. I also hired a Yamaha Tenere 660 to ride from London to Ulanbataar (Mongolia)....so I have a very long adventure riding background particularly in the Australian Outback. All that said, the Himalayan is just a back-to-basics machine that does its job. I recently completed a circumnavigation of Australia (15,500kms) on a 7hp Honda CT110 Postie bike. I loved it! The little bike is gutless, doesn't corner (especially when loaded) and doesn't stop BUT what it does do is put a smile on my face every time I ride it. The Himalayan left me with the same feeling.

A great review mate, in the tradition of true motorcycling. Keep doing what you do 👌♠️

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much 👍🏼👍🏼

Test rode one a few months back and was very impressed.I found it sat nicely and not stressed at 70mph.No centre stand as standard is a bit disappointing.

[@DC_Cha_Cha_Cha]

Love the look of this bike, they've absolutely nailed the styling. Great video, it's easy to see how much you love riding :)

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. Much appreciated 👍🏼

Awesome review of the Enfield. I used to fish in Wales as a boy in the River Dee, and now living in the U.S. for the past forty years, how I miss my English countryside 🥺. Thanks for the video 👍

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks buddy. OK great 👍🏼👍🏼

[@oknevals]

When I see it, I think of Yamaha SR400. I know it is not same but, it was first bike I ever set my arse on before I had any clue about motorcycles whatsoever and it imprinted in my brain. The fact that it is carburated and has kick start makes it even more appealing. I think Yamaha may bring back few in 2023.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Ok cool 👍🏼

Congratulations for your subscriber score. You both deserve it. Very maturate thoughts and experiences. The SCRAM is a very good all around bike for an affordable price. I will go on keeping 2018 My Classic 500, now with 28000km. His somehow hidden charm is imcomparable.

[@MrDarcy-OlMan]

Thanks very much. Yes absolutely. Some bikes are for keeping 💯
