New Scram 411 from Royal Enfield | First UK Ride Review

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Price has now been confirmed at a bargain £4,599!

[@boynoodle90]

Good price! But a fair bit more than the meteor. Is it worth it over that? Seem very similar?

[@nilanjannandi4713]

Ofcourse , it is capable of those occasional offroad trails which the Meteor is definately not

[@pauls8456]

Wow you pay a lot of money for bikes in the UK.

[@ToGrimmToWin]

United States it’s 5,099 plus doc fee plus “shipping fees “ then tax title putting it over 6,000usd a bit steep I think it can get outran by 250cc twin bikes priced the same or less out the door. Sad about thats

[@pggp273]

I've been waiting for this review. Great to see you are the first to review the bike. There's nothing wrong with a utilitarian motorcycle. With the way the world is going I can see more people using utilitarian motorcycles as their daily transport

[@RocketMan_Moto]

Enjoyed that. Thanks, Andy. I was pretty impressed by the bike, too, when I rode it last week. The only thing putting me off buying one is the rumoured arrival of a more modern 450cc/40hp version next year.

[@chrisdagnall8666]

I wouldn’t worry about a newer version next year you will have swapped twice before then 😀😉😉

[@morri03]

That rumour feels all wrong

[@Gnerko123]

Don’t think enfield will get 40hp out of a 450cc (presumably) air cooled (and maybe oil cooled) single. If it has that kind of power, it’ll probably be liquid cooled and have a different (higher revving) engine character. Might be nice, but not what enfields are about for me

[@ananddarnal6702]

It will take almost 2 years to release in international markets. I think for now, SCRAM is totally worth it

[@garyhope0103]

Been looking forward to seeing this bike since the hype, and hasn't failed my expectations. Yes, the welds are a bit ugly, but then as long as they do what they are supposed to do, and I too wondered if the exhaust was stainless steel, hence the early 'discolouration'. A roll bag on the back, and some very pleasant weekends away around the lakes, or the borders area would be great.

[@barryjmarling]

Love the looks,reminds me of my old Honda SLR 650,great bike which I had for 9 years,gotta agree about the welds. Great video Andy.👍🏻

[@MrSportster12]

I've got a SLR 650 at the moment. Great bike.

[@Frip36]

Man. Much more honest review than I would have assumed.

[@mslattery8710]

Thanks for this review, the first ride on UK roads of this latest iteration of the Himalayan. Just a quick point about the exhaust system on the bike, which looks identical to the exhaust on the latest Himalayan to my eyes. You mention discolouration and rust. The system is stainless steel and as such can't rust in the sense that it'll corrode significantly, as is the case with mild steel. It will however discolour due to oxidisation. This effect is accelerated due to heat. It quickly reaches a point of stability beyond which it will discolour no further. I have a three year old Himalayan with this patina and I quite like the look. It's very common with stainless exhausts and whilst it's not to everyones liking the upside is you'll never need to replace it because it's rusted to hell.

[@Zippytie]

Just got three thousand miles on my Scram , and fitted a Tec camshaft , loved the Scram , but the cam replacement really does improve the bikes engine torque range , less bogging down on second gear and pulls far smoother in 4th at 30 mph , engine is quieter to , think its because it hasnt got all the decompression tranclament on the replacement cam to rattle about , yourwelcome to try it , thanks , great review

[@juliancain6128]

I'm glad you mentioned the snappy jacket at the end! Excellent video!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you!

[@PaulUpton1]

Interesting Video Andy. I've recently changed from a BMW k1200 to the Himalayan. I do think that as an owner of one of these kind of hikes that you have to accept that these bikes are built down to a price. My Himmy is 250 miles old and the exhaust can has done the same. It's nothing a bit of autosol won't sort though. The welds are indeed rubbish but I accept this. If this is a problem then buyers need to look else where. I would like a Triumph Tiger but at the best part of twice the price I dont believe I would have more fun on a tiger than I am on my new Himmy. I can throw this bike about. Probably drop it on a green lane and then repair it without the need to take out a loan. The engine ln these bikes whilst sounding very under powered is actually really good fun. It has enough power to get me across the country loaded up and scratch the local country lanes. One observation on the 411 is that the Speedo drive looks different on the front right fork. Not sure i saw the cable coming down the fork?

[@PaulUpton1]

Visited my local RE dealer today and they had a couple in stock. The speedo drive is different. its missing from the front wheel. I could not see the rear wheel in detail but I have to assume its fitted there somewhere... It does make the front look a bit tidier not having the speedo electronics floating around.

[@garethpascoe3922]

excellent review mate, thank you. me and my mate just ordered 2 scram 411s should be with us by sat' 13th, cant wait to see her in the flesh as it were. looked at reviews/spec on bike and for £4455 brand new 23' plate whats not to like!!

[@andrewhamilton-gill]

I’m so pleased you have reviewed the Scram, I have been waiting for this motorcycle to show itself in my local RE dealership, along with a price tag, I feel that what’s happening in the world with regards to energy costs etc may push the price a little a higher than originally planned. I had considered putting one of these in my garage, it would still be good value however I’m a little disappointed by a couple of you observations,namely the welds and exhaust already showing signs of deterioration. Big thanks for another great review..

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure!

[@phillippayne8170]

Great honest review at least royal Enfield aren’t pretending to be something they are not great value for money 💰 to someone.. Since I purchased my Bmw r1250 gs adventure nothing else excites me in my opinion I think I have the best of everything . I enjoyed your review Andy top notch mate👍🇦🇺

Good review that, I’d reckon with a Tec Parts performance cam and Lextec exhaust it will be much improved. A great bike for upgrading at affordable prices.

[@mariuszuk79]

Another great review Andy👌 Girlfriend rides Himalayan which I also like but not entirely convinced about the looks. Scram looks much better IMO. Slightly improved performance and braking might be coming from the weight loss😆 Recently moved to Salisbury plains so this would be ideal bike and especially at this price point. Agree with you on the colour scheme, white and red looks awesome and it’s the Polish flag 🇵🇱 😃😃😃

[@dennisbowskill3706]

Great video on the Royal Enfield scarm. It’s got nice seat height for small rider. Only Royal Enfield i can get this this (Royal Enfield Genuine Classic 500 1:12 scale model). Hope we do get to see more of this motorbike

[@grumpsrides42]

Great first ride. As an owner, and fan, of the Himalayan, I'm quite interested in the new Scram 411. Very similar to my Himalayan, but, I must agree with you, 'much' better looking! I've never been a huge fan, of the 'looks', of the Himalayan, but love the bike for what I bought it for..... Commuting, bimbling around the local back lanes, and a little light green laning. Looking forward to more videos. Grumps.

[@dankorolyk5917]

Great review (as usual),was thinking about this bike and definitely on the radar.Will wait to see what they have coming down the pipe,but a real looker for sure,thanks.

[@peterhollis8291]

Another quality review once again Andy, if the price is circa 4.5k or there abouts I think the dodgy welds and suspect exhaust might well be acceptable for me especially if this was to be a second bike. I like the look of the white and red colour scheme as it reminds me of my first Bike a 1977 Yam DT175, showing my age there 😃.

Yes £4,599 as it happens - bargain....

[@stucrisp6865]

The tarnish on the exhaust is due to heat on the stainless steel. It goes an uneven bronze over time. Uneven perhaps because the heating wouldn't be consistent with all the cat and baffler gubbins in there. The later Ural sidecars had this kind of exhaust and they look the same. I must admit I'm not a fan of this either but a stainless zorst shouldn't rust out, so that's nice. I guess it counts as a quality touch. Love the channel keep up the great work. My latest ride is a vintage Dnepr sidecar which, given it's Ukrainian heritage, is nice given the state of things there right now. All the best from Brisbane Australia.

[@karlj1717]

Can’t wait to watch this later when I get home this is a bike I’m really interested in 😁

[@ronnymorts]

I'm looking for my first bike. I saw this and couldn't believe the price. Definitely one to consider. The exhaust will probably need an upgrade if it's likely to rust but a nice looking bike

[@jonathandeeley6276]

Great video thanks Andy, bike does look fantastic and as an ex Himalayan owner I'd be very interested to have a test ride on one. The saddle looks a lot more comfortable than the Himi, and seat height is lower which for me is better plus the bike is lighter in weight, always a bonus! Styling is spot on for the model and in my view the engine is a peach for a long stroke single thumper. The exhaust looks likes it's a carry over from the Himi in which case it won't rust as it's made from Stainless Steel (all be it not the best quality) but with a bit of work they do polish up nicely. For the projected cost it looks like another winner for RE. Very nice.👍😊

[@sohanamin1228]

Since the Scram shares, most of its components with the Himalayan which came out in 2016 the flaws too have been carried forward. Weld quality on the frame and headstock is crude and Quality levels have improved since the Himalayan first made its debut, but there’s still a lot to be desired. Also, a point to note is that RE Interceptor and GT 650, Classic and the Meteor 350 are all the bikes that came after 2018 by then RE have vastly improved their Build Quality this is the reason why the Interceptor and the latter released bikes have better build quality. According to me RE Scram 411 uses the same old Tooling as the Himalayan hence the poor weld quality. It's better to wait for the new Himalayan 450 which will be launched next year and will have a better build quality and more power & torque.

[@bikegeist]

Thank you for your insights, Sohan Amin.

[@pggp273]

Some people would prefer the simplicity and back to basics of this model though. Maybe some good deals on this model as and when the 450 emerges onto the market

Thanks Andy - and well done being one of the first UK reviewers too! Looks really nice, I'd definitely add one to my garage given the space (and money to run more than one bike). The finish is disappointing though - looks like it came out of a different factory to the rest of the RE range - who's quality seems to improve with every new bike (especially the 350 Classic for example). Hopefully, they'll jump on this quickly before it ruins their current (high) reputation is affected?

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes defo a drop in build quality on this one judging by this example…

[@jerhughes500]

It’s a pretty good looking bike, I’m not a fan of the big yellow badge though. If it’s around £4500, it’s a good value bike, but I’ve been looking at second hand bikes around 5k, including at your friends at super bike factory, and you can get a lot more bike for that sort of money, even with low mileage.

[@peterowen851]

I think lots of reviewers are missing the point with the new single cylinder RE bikes. I have a 350 classic and bought it primarily for transport as I would the Scram or any of the other singles. So if you start from will it get you cheaply, safely and comfortably to work or out and about on your daily travels then anything it does over and above this is a bonus. I don’t have and don’t need a tripper or other electronics but heated grips fitted for £100 worth every penny. Until recently I had a 1098 Ducati and a 990 KTM, fantastic bikes, but hugely impractical as an everyday mode of transport. As far as fashion is concerned I’m guessing that your gear plus helmet, etc. adds up to at least a quarter of the price of the bike? Makes a bit of a nonsense if you are looking to buy a cost efficient and practical mode of transport. I can see it, and get it, in terms of hobby/Leisure vehicles but if we want more people riding bikes then it needs to be attainable for anyone looking to progress from pedal power.

[@stevec6427]

I think a lot of reviewers forget how cheap the bikes are. The Interceptor always gets compared to the Bonneville which is 50% more expensive and has a bigger engine. That's just not a fair comparison. I've got a Bonneville and I don't think it's really £3000 better than an Interceptor, it's a bit better of course but not that much

[@trevorloveridge6221]

I like the looks of the scram 411 it’s nicely styled and hopefully at a good price point, shame about the quality of the welds, but on first impressions it seems to be a nice bike Might have to see about making room in the stable for one

[@rabfergy7155]

Been working in Essex, so was glad when I arrived at the Dock to head home and had this video to watch while waiting on the boat. I have a himalayan and it has been a great commute all winter. I do have to say I prefer the look of the scram and may well consider a change. If your not going onto carriage way or motorways they just make sense. Think I'm getting around 80mpg so in the current climate that's cheap transport to work and back. Having a passenger or language doesn't seem to make any difference to the engine pulling either.

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

I have a 2021 Himalayan with about 1000 miles on the clock. I love the looks, the size, the riding position, and the gearbox. It is slow. The switchgear feels cheap. It is going back to the dealer soon for repeated stalling when “cold”. I have to feather the throttle to keep it from stalling and it will still stall during the first mile or two. The seat is hard. I’m also losing my ABS and Neutral indicator on my instrument cluster. They are slowly moving off center and slipping off at the 7 o’clock position. I like the Himalayan, but I may have been happier with the RE Meteor. Cheers from the colonies.

[@MrSportster12]

Yes agree that it looked like rusty water had dripped on it from somewhere but I was referring to the general discoloration. Time will tell.

[@ian-c.01]

There are many different grades of Stainless Steel, the lower quality stuff does rust so technically shouldn't be called 'Stainless'. It's also possible that the finish is contaminated due to bad practice and using grinding belts that have been previously used for regular steel, this will transfer enough dust to the Stainless to create rust and it would look very similar to what you can see there. On the downpipe there is an enlarged section, possibly for a Cat Converter but on the welds above and below there is deep rust, that is not from contamination, that is low quality stainless and will develop holes over time !

Since most aspects of this machine share everything with the Himalayan , can the rear rack, tank racks, windscreen, center stand be retrofitted to the Scram? What does the side emblem cover on the tank? No release date announced yet for the US market but looking forward to seeing it. As a short rider, intrigued by the wheel size change lowering the seat height. The Himalayan is a tad tall for my 29” inseam. Thoughts?

I don’t know on the retrofits - I suspect they probably would fit….

[@NickStaib]

Boom! I just bought one this afternoon. Before seeing your video, which was risky, but I'll take a few flaws at this price.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Nice one Nick! How much ££ if you don’t mind me asking??

[@NickStaib]

@@TheMissendenFlyer - the base price is £4,599 on the road. I bought the £4,699 twin colour version simply because I loved the gloss black/grey coloured one with light blue highlights. Not bad value, eh?

At 65 im no longer a power junkie... But 24 bhp mherrrrrr.... I'd love to love it if that makes sense. Cheers Andy.

A 400 that can't do highway is just absurd in this day n age mate .

[@chrismountford2951]

Great looking bike Andy. If they sort the quality issues but for the price!

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Yes £4,600 - a bargain!

[@johnbellamy6449]

like it ,good review by you as always.

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Thank you!

[@mgwgeneral6467]

Not a bad looking bike. Seriously underpowered. But then again its all about going out of doors for a joy ride isn't it? Anything with a motor and wheels will due.😂 well done video.👍

[@bfarm44]

Was not a big fan of the Himalayan but I like this. Ergos look good I’ll find out in a month. Wonder how it would fair with just street tires. Looks like a good all around town machine find myself attracted to the red and white one but they all look good to me

[@victorgonza4528]

It’s a pretty machine ,even with the sloppy welding and the custom rust pipes .

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

I agree….

[@splodge57]

Nowadays always good to have a bit of patina, even from new.

[@heinschwartz7941]

Definitely fills a welcome gap in the market. Love the style and looks, hp not an issue with speed limits for country lanes and town riding. Pity that the price has risen over the last 18months (based on Himalayan in Oz from $7k to almost $9k. Good review Andy, thanks 😎

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

My pleasure, thanks for watching!

[@mikesoutside6559]

Please forgive if I'm missing something but, I've taken the screen off my himalayan because the eddy it caused and the buffeting drove me nuts and its way better without it. Other than the slightly bigger front wheel my bike now looks practically the same as this Scram bike, is there any other difference? I do like the look of it though, I have one that looks just like it 😆

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Just styling and price mainly.....

[@tenpole41]

The exhaust on my himalayan went a bit "coppery" in places as soon as i bought it. Im pleased with the bike but to be fair i dont us it alot.

[@peterbennett4948]

I Love Royal Enfields except for the Himalayan/Scram the front end doesn't look right to me for some reason which I can't put my finger on. Great vids keep them up 👍

[@TheMissendenFlyer]

Cheers Peter, will do….

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

I hope the Himalayan 450 will have more pleasing aesthetics.
