RE Bear 650 - Dustland Shotgun High Scrambler Pipe - Wahoo!

[@johnlenart597]

Not sure if I could live with the pipe everyday. The standard turn signals also seem to be the correct size. I never want anyone to say they didn't see them. RE seems to make most things correct right from the start. If only the 🌬 ❄️❄️🌬❄️ would go away. No rides for quite a while. The factory tour was epic. Wahoo.!!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Spring is on the way!....right?

[@stevencunningham4680]

The sound of those pipes brought an instant smile to my face. I do like the knee grips on the tank. It gives the bike more of a scrambler look.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo! That’s the sound of freedom!

[@BillyBadass-f2f]

Fuzzy, I say "yes" to the tank pads for your bike.

[@bonjovi1354]

It would look more better if those had matching color as the frame

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

They sure do look great.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Nice!

[@user-cv9my1jq2r]

Man! What a throw back bike. Love the looks. They have captured the hearts of a lot of older people but hey. I bet the young folks would love to street fight and hit the coffee shop on these. You get a new technology classic bike with RE. I sound like a salesman but I’m just an ol dude that loves bikes of all kinds. Been riding my whole life pretty much. I have 3 different brand of bikes and the wife said you need one more haha. Cool wife huh? Thanks for the video bud.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Listen very carefully... Sometimes you must do what your wife says... Get out there and buy that bike 🙂 Wahoo!

[@jefflloyd8612]

Tank pad looks great, go for it.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I agree! Wahoo!

[@pinkiewerewolf]

That would be The Bear 650 to own! (Green frame) I like the tank pads because I'd scratch up the tank without them. And, they look good, even though I prefer the look without them.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm think'n Tank pads too!

[@Aerobird23]

The moment the bike started I smiled beautiful sound and bike.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Editing a riding video of this bike right now. Wahoo!

[@davidduffy308]

My first bike had pipes like that. 1965 Honda 250 scrambler. Was pretty popular in the high school parking lot. Like those blinkers.Stay safe.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love it!

[@felipe-nt-d]

The new exhaust is awesome!! Other thing I wish someone made for that bike model is a higher aluminum/chrome front fender, it would go so well with the exhaust! I like it so much that the bike is made of standard parts, I mean, you can swap the headlight for any other headlight of the same size (I take it's a 7" round light). Those motorcycles have endless potential for customization.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Totally agree with you...Wahoo!

[@teneretraveller8980]

That iscthe Wahoo version. Love it Ride safe 👍

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

The Wahoo! version...I like that.. Wahoo!

[@DH-tp9ns]

I like the knew pads...always!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks!

[@johnnylong2049]

Curious to see if RE will do a tubeless variant like they did the Himalayan 450

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I sure hope they do. Wahoo!

[@SS-ck3ew]

Other than the name and the tubes in the wheels, the Bear is a great bike! That pipe looks cool too! SS in The USA!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

It is a great bike. Wahoo!

[@Astrashastra]

This could be wrong but i heard some one say that you can swap the stock spoke wheels of bear 650 with the rear cross spoke tubeless rims of himalayan 450 and front cross spoke tubeless rims of goan classic 350.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

@Astrashastra now that is a good question. If we get the goings in America, we'll have to try that. Thanks!

[@DiveTrainerDan]

That boardwalk white is awesome. I think I like the motone tank pads way better.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Nice!

[@pistolpete6321]

Awesome looks and sound!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@angelsordemons]

Sounds great.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love it!

[@Kyrodan022]

Now that is a scrambler..love the color..the high pipes..ditch the signals..too big..ditch the tail..

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Like the way you're think'n, Dan!

[@brentcollins9727]

A fire breathing bear

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

For sure!

[@rnbdanny]

Those pipes are a beauty on that bike… I wonder if the engine guard/bars would still fit with this mod… I like a lot the look of the tank without the pads… but I see why they are appealing too 😅

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

About the engine guards...I'd contact Jeremy at Baxtercycle.com with that question. He should be able to help. Wahoo!

[@dTm259]

Maybe look at a slightly more compact tank pad. It seems to end up hiding most of that beautiful pearl white paint. Are those by Trip Machine btw?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I think they are Trip Machine. Wahoo!

[@dTm259]

@forgottenmotorcycles and Wahoo!

[@curbjumper]

I used a Dustland Sandscratch high scrambler exhaust on my 2022 RE Interceptor 650 with a Power Commander, DNA filter, air injection delete, and charcoal canister delete. After having a 2015 Triumph Scrambler with OEM high exhaust (major heatshields on the OEM Triumph exhaust; no leg burns ever) with a absolutely no heat issues on my right leg, I thought the Dustland exhaust would be a good idea.. this was incorrect. At less than highway speeds on a average summer day (I live in Canada) the Dustland exhaust cooked my leg while wearing jeans; with leather Dainese pants I felt safe from burns but then the sweating begins. Access under the right side cover is next to impossible; it can be done with difficulty, however I did relocate the seat removal button to under the rear fender. Forget about being able to get the tool kit out or in. Before selling the bike, I changed to a Dustland Mekha low exhaust to spare the new owner from cooking their leg, and so they could access the tool kit. The bike was already set up for it with the Power Commander & DNA filter. Now I have a Bear 650 on order; I will change the muffler to remove the catalytic converter, and also add a tune and air filter. Keep in mind that the Interceptor/ Continental GT 650 have alot of weight packed into the 2 into 2 exhaust; the Bear 650 not so much, although I am not a fan of catalytic converters on motorcycles. In the unlikely event that I do put a high exhaust on the Bear 650, it will be a Zard system this time. I believe it is worth the extra money, considering fit and finish. The Dustland Sandscratch high scrambler exhaust which burned my leg for 5000km on the 2022 Interceptor 650 did not seal well at the joints between the muffler and the head pipes, and I've seen better quality stainless steel in practically every other exhaust I've purchased in 50+ years of owning & riding many motorcycles.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Zard does make an amazing pipe. Beautiful quality and sound. Wahoo!

[@Pandassn]

Wahhoo. Stay blessed. 🌺🌸🙏

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Double Wahoo!

[@yipman214]

Can you do a dual side by side exhaust off the Bear 650. Exactly like the interceptor but with the design of the bear. Basically instead of a 2x1, I’m talking about a 1/1 of the same pipe and muffler on each side.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

If we have the bikes fitted with the pipes...yes.

[@lutherrule9301]

Heck yeah ❤😊

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@rideu2b]

I love the turn signals. Where can I get them?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Contact Jeremy at Baxtercycle.com He should be able to help you out. Wahoo!

[@HepCatCycles]

I think having to lose the 249 number plate to too much of a price to pay to have those pipes. Also leaves the rear peg area a bit unfinished looking. Question. Are those tank pads the same ones for the interceptor 650 that Baxter has on their web site ? Thanks.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I think the tank pads are on their website.

[@HepCatCycles]

@@forgottenmotorcyclesthey are and a very helpful woman named Cara confirmed they’d fit the bear and shipped them right out for me. Thanks !!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

@@HepCatCycles Cara is great 😃

[@HepCatCycles]

@@forgottenmotorcyclesanother question if you don’t mind. I have the 249 bear as well. I see the outside temp option in the drop down menu on the TFT and have it checked but it doesn’t show up to the right of the time like I see it on other RE’s with the same TFT. Any idea ? Thanks !!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

@HepCatCycles I found the same thing and cannot get it to work not only on my bike but on the other bear models either. I'm wondering if it's a vestigial option. In other words, an option from another bike that doesn't work on this bike?

[@sunyrj25]

Wahooooooo ❤❤

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Double Wahoo!

[@kenstine6008]

I was just about to say it needs a tune…then yuh said you need to tune it yet 👍🏻

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@DiveTrainerDan]

Wish you started up that boardwalk white I always like to compare standard with change. Though you never know what those crazy owners change.😅

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@ianbray3580]

Sounds great but I would not remove that sidecover for a nice exhaust!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love that sound!

[@leetarn5438]

Sounds good. Would like to hear a demo ride with them. At this time would you choose the Bear or Himalayan??

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

We'll try and ride this bike Saturday...if possible. I own both the Bear and the new Himalayan...So, not able to pick...Actually the Himalayan is a great all around bike, the Bear a great bike to go out and have fun on. Wahoo!

[@leetarn5438]

@@forgottenmotorcycles I have fun on any bike😁 I am sooo interested in the 2.

[@percentbigfoot]

The stock blinkers go with the style better.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@JeffA2wheeladdiction]

Does the Dustland Shotgun Pipe exhaust bolt right on? I'm purchasing the same bike when my local dealer and would love to get that exhaust. Please let me know. Thank you in advance.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I didn't install this so not sure. Contact Jeremy at Baxtercycle.com for more info. Wahoo!

[@straightup1234]

Let us know if center stand fits pls 🙏

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Center stand did fit with the new pipe but didn't raise the bike up enough. Bike has more ground clearance than INT so back wheel still hit the ground. Maybe add more to the bottom or the center stand. Wahoo!

[@critterIMHO]

The high pipe looks good, but I don’t think I would want the heat or the noise. And I’m a big fan of the boardwalk white.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love that color too!

[@alanbishop7828]

I guess Royal Enfields are a rarity in the USA? They are fairly common here in NZ.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Currently a very small part of the US market but growing fast!

[@kenmetalsmith8638]

👍🏻😎👍🏻 🔥🔥🔥

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@RevsAndWheels]

They really messed it up with the rear suspension. Lots of travel but too stiff somehow.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm think'n it's a true Scrambler Suspension ...We shall see!

[@Whatreally123]

Looks like a free flow exhaust. Musf be loud as hell. Is fhis even legal?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Was loud but not as loud as you might think. Wahoo!

[@scotty2307]

The pipe looks cool, but anyone who can stand to have their leg over the top of that thing... more power to ya.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I put about 300 mi on a bike with pipes like this a few years back. Yeah, the old leg gets warm 😷

[@ruahinesrider]

I like it 👌 👍I like it a lot.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Me too!

[@farmerPat-so7gd]

Knee pads ad look and function.
