Whether riding motorcycles, or driving tractor trailers, I never liked running in groups. Everyone starts thinking they have to prove themselves, and this often creates dangerous situations. BTW, thank you for this. I really like the looks of the scram, and would love to turn one into a tracker.

Having gotten out of big ADVs almost ten years ago, I find the Himalayan to be a fantastic and usable bike in the city and country. Given that you like the 411 engine and chassis, it won’t surprise me if you like the Himalayan, even if just a little bit. Point is, it’s a good platform, in my opinion, and it’s nice to see it being used in another variant.

That’s the first Enfield that has a bit of WOW factor for me. Always though the Himalayan was a bit ‘industrial’ looking.mLooked like it was just lacking the mounts for a rocket launcher. The Scram could do with another 5-10bhp for the weight ideally but it’s not so bad. So, a nice looking practical bike for British A & B roads at a very decent price! Very good review as always Stuart and I hope Enfield are successful with this one.

Took me a while to catch up with this video, but: This is the first semi-serious take on the Scram I've seen online. To start with, RE absolutely *nailed* the look of the thing…I like he look of most modern-classic scramblers of the past few years, and the Scram is up there with the best, which, given the ask, is quite the feat. Interesting that power output is pretty much line-ball with my Vespa GTS SuperTech, and I'll reiterate to anybody that it's more than enough power to get you virtually anywhere, and I'll also stand by the axiom that it's more fun to go fast on something "slow" then the other way 'round, especially when the bike is smaller, lighter, and more nimble as a result. Glad to hear RE is pitching a Scram your way to run around with for a bit, and obviously looking forward to your deeper take on it. Safe travels!

Holding my hands up here. I have a GS1200 2017 and it’s phenomenal in what it can do. However I 100% admit it is almost soulless. There is just something special about a back to basics bike that has enduring charm with its simplicity and its ability to do anything you need. I totally agree a rider needs to be wise enough to ride within a bikes limitations. Having recently owned a Honda Monkey with a top speed of 55mpg on the flat, I never felt out of place on the road and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This Scram looks great and I found it more than adequate on the roads when I rode it. Hats off to RE. They are a truly exciting and growing brand and continuing to win over many fans. Myself included. Great video and informative content. Thank you 😊

These reviews are great. Small capacity bikes are the best bikes. Here in Finland many roads get worse every year so there really is no reason to get a bike with more power than 35 kW or less. Even my 500 cc bike with 35 kW often feels more than enough.

I so agree with your comment reference small bikes. Many years ago I toured 2 up up in France and Spain on a 250 two stroke single. Had a great time. I lament the demise of the small bikes that many of us grew up on (125, 250, 350cc etc) After riding bigger bikes I am of an age where the cc is getting smaller and recapturing the feeling of having to work to get the best from the bike and not just turn the throttle. Been looking at the RE range of smaller bikes and in the future will probably have one in my garage. Thanks for the informative review.

I can confirm that the power of the engine up to 30hp is really enough to enjoy real motorcycling. I too have had 150bhp+ motorcycles. You are just controlling the bike and not enjoying where you are actually riding. Since 2 years I have the RE Bullet 500 classic and since then I really enjoy motorcycling. This 411 scram fully complies with that for long off-road trips. And then also for a very pleasant price thanks to RE... Thanks for the honest and clear review S.F...

Thanks for the close up look, I've avoided Scram reviews for a while now so this is my first and probably only one I'll watch. I think RE is one of the smartest motorcycle manufacturers out there. They absolutely own their niche and understand their market(s) and trends (as you point out in the video Stu), they make brilliant design decisions (that are often overlooked by many) where they choose what to focus on, and where costs can be saved to meet a target retail price. People choose to criticise the areas which have been built to a budget without understanding it was probably a deliberate and well thought through business and design decision. It reminds me of my days in the army, you didn't always need to iron the whole shirt, you just needed to focus on the collar and the right creases and it would pass haha 😁

If I had not bought the Himalaya Euro/BS4 in 21.. Then the Scram would have been the only contender.. The Himalaya ticked all the boxes, having followed, watched and listened very much to all being said, that yes it suited my late in life return to biking.. by design it's in a league of it's own and the Scram has entered that same market. Only thing next what has RE to offer in that long hoped for larger capacity Himalaya..!

Great review Stu and I agree totally that the Scram is a different concept, for a different market. I have a Himalayan and like many others thought initially that the Scram was a cut down version. Not so. Like the two 650 twin models, they share the same frame and engines, plus a number of other interchangeable parts but then, like the 650's they take a different fork in the road with regard to market, feel and development. Looking forward to your week long review and perhaps a future Himalayan review. Thanks again for your thoughts 😊

Thanks for the review Stuart. I do like this bike. I can relate to the idea of getting back to smaller capacity machines for the same reasons as yourself. I'm also of the age where I've had most types of bikes and engine sizes/power outputs over the years and I feel like getting back to basics to hopefully enjoy riding a bike again. As much as I love my current bike, a Speed Triple, I find that these days it might as well be a 500cc bike given how we are forced to ride on todays roads. I think a test ride on the Scram is in order.

Thanks Stu. Glad you’re getting on the RE guest list now, as you should. If anyone has any question about the Scram’s off road capability, I would recommend checking out Nathan Millward’s channel - Dorothy’s Speed Shop. He has added a Scram to his RE fleet, which you can go down to Devon and test ride, but he posted an initial impressions video yesterday doing some “scrambling”, and the bike can certainly do that too.

Thanks Stuart, certainly one of the most insightful reviews on the Scram that I’ve watched, appreciated the backstory too. Just test rode this and it is spot on. Well-sorted is certainly how it feels, especially coming from riding the original and fuel-injected Himalayans. For the roads here in the Philippines I used to recommend the Himalayan as the best all-rounder, with the asterisk that it’s not that fun on pavement. The Scram now takes that title, despite its lack of top speed.

Looking forward to your Himalayan review. I too spent years on a lardy adventure bike- the most impractical bike I have owned. Completely useless off road and just too big and heavy to enjoy a short trip to the shops. And that's an opinion from a 6'3'' rugger build chap! As for service and repair costs for the podgy German- I could have got a Bullet and pocketed the change. For me all the current Royal Enfield models are desirable and justifiable from a cost view point. Just difficult to choose which one to fill that space to keep the Triumph company

I had a chuckle at Stuart's memory of slip streaming' long ago. My first proper tour was on a Yamaha RD 250, which was a good little motorbike but a bit thirsty. Being 17 years old and perpetually skint I too used to tuck in behind lorries. Instant boost to fuel economy. Bad news if it was raining though in which case I would pass the lorry and get into a lane where I was alone and not coping with the spray from lorry tyres. Happy memories and I am still touring in my sixties. The best bike I have for this is my BMW 1200RT but, guess what, since I bought an Interceptor last April I have gone camping exclusively on that Royal Enfield. I know that does not make sense but I love riding the Interceptor and appreciate the interest in the bike from bikers and public.

Thanks for the Scram video Stuart. I am also a “ gentleman of a certain age” and until recently the Himalayan has not been on my wish list, but the Scram has changed that opinion . After watching numerous reviews and videos of this new edition, including yours, I am now seriously considering purchasing one. It seems to provide everything that I need in a well rounded bike and also a significant fun factor. Currently I’m downsizing from a vintage GS750 Suzuki and I like the Scram option, not mention the savings on insurance . Cheers, Dan. ✌️🏍🇨🇦

However, not many were imported into the UK, which was a crying shame. I for one have always loved the street scrambler style.

That's fine and fair review, Uncle Stu! And I look forward to your promised closer look at that loaner. It's great that Royal Enfield is doing this little refresh of the Himalayan. I've also heard they'll be sort of "scramberizing" the 650 fairly soon. So that should be interesting. The fact that Enfield stuck with the Himalayan model, really their first true departure from their well-worn Bullet flavor in modern decades (if you don't consider the old 535cc Continental singles much of a departure), continuing to improve upon it, speaks to their rather dogged determination to make it work. Most forget, or were never aware in the first place, of how almost disastrously bad the very first Himis were in their Indian home market, with frames that snapped if you looked at them too hard, footpegs that fell off even in their own promo videos, and so forth. Yet I gather the Himalayan was something of a personal pet project of their head Siddhartha Lal, so they went back to that drawing board and just did better and better. Personally, I prefer the "true engineering fossil" look of my elderly preunit Bullet or the simply "retro" 650 Interceptor or new J-Engine 350 single "Classic". But like you, this old geezer could quite happily tour on one of these new Scrams or even one of their straightforward Himalayans. Hell, that's what Google Maps' "Avoid Highways" option is for: touring done right. I mean, did you REALLY just want to slog down the Motorway/Interstate? So yeah, I'll be watching with interest.

Nahthen from Lincoln Stu! Great review, thoroughly enjoyed this one. The Scram looks to be priced perfectly as a second bike for a lot of us, I could really see myself having one of those in that way. I too have done my best touring on a 125cc and used to use the lorries too 🙂 It costs £3,400 for a Yamaha Nmax 125 Scooter new these days (which is my runabout alternative to my Triumph Bobber), so why not a RE Scram at £4,000 as a second ride. Brilliant review, well done!

Excellent as always. I think if you honestly assess your personal riding envelope, anything capable of 10% more is enough. Add to that the extra weight as you age, big enough is enough. I am quite convinced no girl ever looked at one of my 50+ motorbikes and thought "I bet he has a big one". More like "suprised the old bugger can still ride". I love the proliferation of smaller bikes and Royal Enfield are doing their bit. Thanks

Thank you Stuart. My local RE dealer is going to call me when these become available here in Australia in a month or two.

Great Video Stuart, I'm amazed that they have used that terrible exhaust again on such a nice bike.

It doesn't matter how old I get... I'm still a youngster... okay well at heart at least and whichever bike I'm on always brings a smile on my face and I feel like a little kid... Not that I ride like one... well you get the picture. I agree with you Uncle Stu, I love my small-displacement bikes plus if you're going too fast you miss all the scenery.

Great review Stuart. You have me convinced that this would actually be my choice for a Royal Enfield single. I would welcome the extra 60cc over the new Meteor and Bullet classic. Nice bike.

Great video and comments. Royal Enfield appears to have made another lovely and useful motorcycle that will attract many people. And yes agree that a small displacement motorcycle is a way to go for the majority of people. Well done Royal Enfield and to you Stuart for a great video. Bye Stuart 😊🔆

Ha! Back in the 70's I use to do exactly the same thing with getting a free tow from HGV's backdraft when I had a Suzuki A100. BTW, I toured Europe on that little Suzuki A100. 98cc of raw power! 47 years later, I tour on my Himalayan....

Nice review of a nice bike. I've had a Himmy for the past 2 years and it has become my all-time favorite bike... just perfect for how and where I ride. I suspect, I would love this bike equally as much. Honestly, nobody needs any more bike than this. It's got enough power, torque and performance while still remaining manageable and dead easy and cheap to service. All of those qualities make a perfect bike in my estimation. This is a "forever bike"... one you will not want to part with.

Blast it, Stuart, now I want one of THESE! RE keep making awesome bikes, so awesome that I'd like to have one of each. Alas, I don't have room, either physically or financially, for every RE bike. I wouldn't mind getting one of these though. I like the look, and I like that, if necessary, I can hit a dirt or fire road with it. I also like that it'll easily tackle rough pavement, something we see more of on American roads. Even though I'm not a younger rider (60 years old), I like the look of this bike. Like you said about the Meteor and this bike, I think the Scram will appeal to intelligent motorcyclists... :)
