With the 19" wheel, the Hanway is similar to RE's SCRAM 411. Combine that with the cast wheels, I'd use the Hanway more like a scrambler, i.e. a bike to ride mostly on-road, yet is capable of hitting the occasional fire road. As for the house hunting, I've been there and done that. What a PAIN IN THE ASS that was! Between real estate agents and sellers playing games, doing mortgage paperwork, inspections and everything else, buying a home was a PITA; it took me a good year or so before I found my place. One good thing is that the previous owner rode too, so he put a 4' wide steel door between the garage and the downstairs, so I can keep my bikes inside the house! That frees up the garage for my car. Thankfully, between being single and liking where I am, that's one PITA I won't have to do again soon... :)

Hey Vinnie, it's been a while! Glad to see you still out there enjoying the ride with your infectious enthusiasm 😁 Nothing to do with the subject of this video, but, end of this week, I pick up my new blacked out RE Continental GT in slipstream blue. Still keeping my Classic 350 but fancied something completely different, and just fell in love with the Conti GT after the test ride... Closely followed by a second test ride which was even more fun 😁 Hope your house buying goes well, definitely one of the most stressful things you can do, but what a place to be buying a house! Take care now.

Wow I can see the similarities with the Himalayan tho the tank reminds me of the Continental GT with that stripe! I see this more as a cheap & cheerful runaround a Budget bike! Great for nippy rides here & there & for work maybe? I did like the sound of the exhaust with the baffles out! Better then the Himalayan therefore saving more bucks without having to upgrade it! I don’t think RE has anything to worry about tho! Great to see you out there again vin & great video too!👍🏻😎

Hey mate, I'm in Auckland and there is a second hand almost new g30 on the market for 4000$. I was wondering if your view on this bike changed in the last year or if you would still recommend it? I can't find any other reviews on this bike beside yours so I thought I just reach out. It was always my dream to own a Himalayan but the price on the G30 is tempting. Would you recommend me to buy it or rather spend a bit more for a real royal Enfield? Cheers and keep up the good work 🤙
@roadblastmedia3 ай бұрын
@@gornyboy the Enfield has a better finish and looks more classic if thats what youre in to. The g30 is a great little bike though its lighter and feels faster than the Himi. $4000 is a good price for a g30 and it uses the same motor as the CFMOTO 300s so its relatively easy to get parts for aswell. Go with what your heart says!

Reminds me of the new CLX adventure, albeit the CFMOTO is more modern, powerful and “better”. I do love modern classics but if the clx adventure had a tft like this one, it be perfect. Don’t think Hanway exist in Australia but seems like a sick little bike 😂
