RE Bear 650 - Famous Eddie Mulder 249 Bike - Wahoo!

[@Bygkydcmc]

My Bear was uncrated today and I'm taking delivery tomorrow! Congrats to us both! Wahoo!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Congratulations on your new bike. Wahoo!

[@daves6380]

That bike is gorgeous...I think it would look even better with a brown colored seat.

[@veritasvincit2745]

What a brilliant looking machine! Royal Enfield do it once again. 🎯

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love it!

[@derekweaver5083]

Congratulations on the addition to your RE stable! You sure picked a pretty one! I think it is great that we got a new model bike here in America before they did across the pond.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love this bike!

[@edwardkaminsky8142]

Beautiful looking bike. Good thing you have that Fuzzy Baxter garage to park your bikes in! Wahoo

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

You got that right!

[@ChancellorBeeHaw]

you definitely chose the best colour, looks excellent! perfect retro styling

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love it!

[@himydad1499]

Great to see it in all the different light conditions. You made the best choice: the most retro looking one. Enjoy!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks!

[@astro61362]

Great looking bike! I love the bear on the tank!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Beautiful!

[@michaelharrington9966]

Congratulations, incredible looking bike.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks!

[@8kallday591]

Beautiful bike! Just did the first service on the Shotgun still loving it. And I see my Beemer sold 😉.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

You've got a good one. PS I rode that Beemer....amazing brakes!

[@HARSHADtp]

From India to the world with love 🎉

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

An amazing motorcycle. Wahoo!

[@teneretraveller8980]

What a gorgeous machine. Ride safe 👍

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks, you too!

[@spenjackson]

Thanks for all the videos friend, very informative. Life is good, wahoo!! ✌️

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thank you!

[@JW20236]

Looks great. Congratulations on the purchase I do like the Interceptor...

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks!

[@mrrick2904]

Congratulations. Very nice. I’m considering this bike. The softness of the ride is the deciding factor for me. So maybe a Classic 650.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

This one has a bit of a bite in its ride. Wahoo!

[@adityan3208]

Even the classic 650 has a stiff suspension sadly. Need to put mee shocks for softer ride

[@iraxef1]

Now your hardest decision is which bike to ride on a particular trip!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Life is good!

[@gsrossco]

I'm hopefully ordering mine soon. Still no preorder in Australia.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I've got to get myself to Australia!

[@gsrossco]

@@forgottenmotorcycles it's worth the trip but I'm biased.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

@@gsrossco I will get there in the next few years. Wahoo 🎉

[@chrispekel5709]

@@forgottenmotorcycles It's a beautiful country but it's dangerously bordering on authoritarianism - the relaxed Australia of old is disappearing. You won't notice it on a motorcycle trip, and it's worth coming for that as the scenery is great. Should be cheap too as our dollar is low against the USD now

[@gsrossco]

@@chrispekel5709 umm Australia is a long way from authoritarian in my opinion.

[@WOLFIE-96B-UK]

Great looking bike, congratulations on an awesome purchase! I've heard the 650 Bullet/Classic is released here in the UK at the end of this month. RE have been seen filming a promotional video on the remote Hartside Pass in Cumbria.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Dang! I'd love to see/ride those. Wahoo!

[@kylepatton3346]

Great vid, best color for sure! We gotta know if that exhaust will wedge onto an Interceptor!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

We will see what we can learn. Wahoo!

[@pt53038]

Actually I was searching for this color of bear 650 on KZbin and came to your video. Absolutely look ❤ just speechless love at first sight, I still think it's the best color among others but they could go for chrome finish on exhaust, and replace green color with black. Idk I am not an expert lol😅. Congratulations 🎉 happy and safe riding.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thx!

[@mencewilkinson9625]

You're so lucky, i've ordered mine in the same colour as yours but sadly, here in the UK, we have to wait until February.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Oh no!

[@markjacobs3956]

Congratulations! 10k miles by Christmas.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

LOL We shall see!

[@felipe-nt-d]

You picked one of the coolest colors for the bike, love the blue (green?) frame! I think mine will be either the black or the yellow one! On my bike I'll maybe install smaller turn signals, like the Echo turn signal from TST Industries. The downside is that it'll probably take one year from now for the bikes to reach my country, Brazil, because the country has very bad bureaucracy to homologate new vehicle models.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'd love to visit Brazil!

[@stanleylawson9015]

Congratulations Another great looking bike enjoy, where is the weight located hopefully low down as I found the interceptor top heavy

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

This one is a little taller than the Interceptor so Center of weight is a bit higher

[@ogasi1798]

pretty bike fella, nice one

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thx!

[@user-cv9my1jq2r]

That’s a cool bike. I really dig the throw back look. RE has it down with the old school look. They are really doing a good job and also yourself. RE factory still in your plans in the near future?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Right on

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Factory Tuesday or Wednesday. Wahoo!

[@dewipeach]

Wow.. Wahoo's.. had there never been a 411 nor 452.. this would been worth the wait..! even given not delivered in the UK. That's the dog's whatnot in green and those colour ways, like they'd done the old Trials models, plus did red frames too. Very wise of Royal Enfield to launch in the States, still the Market for record sales, than given wintery Europe/UK.. Were I ever to have the funds/room and needed a second bike.. then here it is.. found the one, shotgun had been top of list.. not now. Stay safe. Cheers

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Beautiful motorcycle 🙂

[@dewipeach]

@@forgottenmotorcycles If the need to replace the 411.. then fore sure wouldbe the Bike..😎.. 🤠.. wahoo's

[@deanomachineo7281]

Another excellent review Fuzzy! I'm such a rule follower, when running -in my INT and Classic I followed the manual, which is quite restrictive in terms of speed. Do you have other guidance from Royal Enfield that allows you to feel comfortable exceeding those run-in speeds?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I really should follow the rules 🙂

[@deanomachineo7281]

@forgottenmotorcycles not at all, I love the fact that you enjoy your machines from day one!

[@SS-ck3ew]

Pretty bike. She's real fine that 249. I don't much care for the name RE chose, so I have dubbed it the Royal Enfield Yogi. Enjoy the bike, my brother! SS in Hades but now with AC back on!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@TictacAddict1]

God willing, I'll pick up a Bear 650 in May 2025. It will share a stall with my 2022 Rock Red Himalayan. Hope to meet you on a ride someday. Mike in CR.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

We should make a plan.... When it warms up 🙂

[@hughmac7423]

Looks good.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks!

[@ianbray3580]

I want one with full knobby tyres and a high mount front guard!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I've got some good ideas for tires for this one. Wahoo!

[@Blvo1]

I actually ride gt 650 for a while. I loved it. Its super easy to ride even in tighter slow traffic. Only thing I wanted in that is little high on suspension due to Indian speed breakers they are big and random n torque for all round. That air cooled i really liked. So relaxing to ride after riding those sports bikes with big engine. I mean you can't make mistake on them. They do get bit annoying to ride in traffic. These are like a good go to ride bike. With this scram thing is actually they really needed to do with it. How's the sitting position is it more comfortable now? Coz i had no issue with gt 650 but for longer i doubt it a bit with it. & Congratulations sir for your bike. A big salute to our old school riders 🫡 you guys built such a great bikers legacy. As a 90's kid we want to teach gen z some class to be a biker.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Those are great bikes 🙂

[@hemantakaushik4635]

I want one, but i need a centre stand on it. Do you plan to install one?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

the bike does have the lugs to take one but we'd have to delete the cat. Maybe?

[@turbochargersutututu]

Aren't the tyres by MRF?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Hey, you're absolutely correct. I just checked my bike. Look for correction in an upcoming video. I can't thank you enough for pointing this out. Thank you Again!

[@turbochargersutututu]

@forgottenmotorcycles oh, not an issue at all! Great content, cheers!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

@turbochargersutututu really appreciate your input. Thank you

[@techcrypto493]

Please do a kasmir trip series.....we are waiting​@@forgottenmotorcycles

[@robertgoerss]

The details on the special edition are really nice. Of all the 650 s , this looks very appealing. Be curious how it handles on gravel roads. Spents thousand of hrs on the back roads of Carroll County plus points west into the hills. Curious how she's tuned for lower torque. The teal frame looks beautiful. Hope you'll have a blast on you're new bike, thanks, bobg.

[@leemoreno7435]

Very Cool

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Thanks!

[@hershchat]

You *BOUGHT* this bike?! I was hoping you’d buy the Bullet/ Classic that was just announced.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Not available in the USA...yet.

[@johnnylong2049]

How does the torque compare to the Himalayan 450? Which one feels more punchy?

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

The Bear has more punch. The Himalayan is a great all around bike, the Bear a great "go out and have fun" bike. Wahoo!

[@critterIMHO]

I wondered if the suspension might be a little stiff as one of Royal Enfield’s promotional videos makes it look like the bike is trying to buck the rider off. My three favorite colors are the same as yours, but I suspect that it’s going to be the boardwalk white for me.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I've got my suspension on softest setting...it's tight. Hoping it softens with time. Wahoo!

[@MrLeslloyd]

@@forgottenmotorcycles Shockers will loosen up but springs not so much you need comfort at middle preload setting,I would change the springs pronto,I've got my T100 with YSS spot on,smooth as on our rough local roads here in Oz.

[@KevinofWessex]

I love it .....

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@shubhromu]

These tyres are made by MRF, another Indian company. CEAT makes them for the INT, Continental GT etc.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

You are correct. Thank you 🙂

[@relevation0]

Make plug n play guages! A lot of us want to keep it ANALOG!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

interesting!

[@Mike-Sharkey]

Sheeeet!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@techcrypto493]

I Want 250 cc varient of this model😊😊

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Interesting!

[@Shady689]

Tubeless spokes and it'll be perfect.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

That would be great!

[@tamasvarga67]

It would be a perfect bike if it was tubeless...

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Soon?

[@dexterroy]

Someone should actually do that endurance run and check how this bike handles it. I am sure many are thinking on these lines. I didn't like that coarse welding and the tubed tyres.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

A good 73,000 mi On My own Royal enfields in the past 3 years. Including 17,000 plus miles in the last 12 weeks on my Himalayan 452. Including a 1,000 plus mile day ride. And visit Stover 20 states . This bear will soon have plenty more miles on it.. with good weather. Click like and subscribe for more 🙂

[@dexterroy]

@forgottenmotorcycles Thank you. Subscribed and looking forward to it.
