Are u serious Varun they sell emotions

[@rajivchetia4929]

Nice Powerdrift and i choose bullet 350

[@iamstrell]

I think the Himalayan still serves as a better offroader for the purpose the Trails came for. It would have been nice to see a longer front suspension, bigger rear sprocket, some weight shedding, more luggage carrying capacity and a switchable ABS. That would have made trials a step ahead from Himalayan 😊. And Varun said it right at 5:16 😊 Even said that no hates on this model. 😊

[@2751Jackson]

Always The Himalayan because when it was launched it was totally a new segment, the sense of freedom that you can take it anywhere is awesome. . It looked so promising leaving aside all it's past it's still the best pocket friendly capable off-roader would get one if it gets 650 engine 😍😍😍

[@powerdriftofficial]

Quite right, Joseph!

[@2751Jackson]

Yeah Thanks. . 😍 #PDArmy😍

"Royal Enfield doesn't sell motocycles. It sells an emotion." Translation: As long as people are ready to keep being fooled, they're gonna keep them fooled.

[@parbxi100]

The idea of an off road Bullet is absurd - like a Hippo taking part in a hurdles race...

[@powerdriftofficial]

Have to say, that's a very creative imagination!

[@off_road_monk]

Technically selling the same bike with different colors.. That RE fanboy in me is gradually dieing.

[@agentK1896]

So its not a city bike, not a highway bike, not a full-blown off-roader either.... nice one RE!

[@corriecole4687]

I really liked that comment. “ Royal Enfield doesn’t sell bikes, they sell emotions”. 100 % correct

[@red-qo1xt]

Legendary tech updates of RE(classic) 2017...colourful tank...(red,cyan, green) 2018...stealth black...gun metal grey 2019...lets paint chassis this time 👻 2020...probably they might paint tyres 😹

[@pramothraj8265]

[@parthpatel6362]

Damm bro you already predict future.

[@arun0921]

They don't want to change much because it sells well as simple as that . If people stop buying they will think about change

[@aaassaeer]

Yes, Royal Enfield does sell you emotions. Frustration, Anger, Disappointment to name a few. Couple of things about your review: 1. No one corners on Bullets. Even the die hard RE fans would say the same 2. Even the actual ADV bikes on the market don't have such ridiculous exhausts. If anything, I would be afraid to mount my luggage as there is a high chance it could burn 3. The bike is too heavy to be a good off-roading machine. This is true however of most ADV bikes on the market. The first thumb rule of off-roading is to have to a lightweight motorcycle, I am there to have fun, not test how good I am with Squat-pushing the bike up 4. Engine refinement doesn't need a separate comprehensive review. You can feel those as soon as you start the motorcycle and rev it. 5. You get the Himalayan for the same price. Why would anyone buy this?

[@BuluBiker]

This Bike looks like a Joke to me.. sorry if I hurt anyone... What was the point of getting this when already Himalayan does the job so nicely?

[@prasadjagtap1337]

Ha bulu bhai, muze bhi samajh nahi aa raha ki kya naya hai iss mai, standerd classic leke bhi hum ise aise hi modi fide kar sakte hai, sirf exhaust tilt kare rear seat nikal ke, frame ko paint kia hai..no sense to do that.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Himalayan is an adventure-touring bike, whereas this has more in common with scrambler bikes. Both have their advantages and disadvantages :)

[@gunjanchoudhary6432]

[@SanathoiSagolsem]

WHY WOULD RE INTRODUCE TRIALS WHEN HIMALAYAN IS THERE?? IS IT STRICTLY FOR TRIAL TRACKS???

[@k.---]

@@SanathoiSagolsem even for trail tracks Himalayan is good enough...this is all bullshit marketing in the name of "history"... Himalayan is perfect for long distance touring and off-roading(to a certain extent) as well.

[@SanathoiSagolsem]

@@k.--- YES, I WONDER WHO'S GONNA TAKE THIS AT ALMOST THE SAME PRICE AS HIMALAYAN. WE'LL HAVE TO SEE IT. BUT I WON'T DEFINITELY BUY IT, LOL.

[@AdiM2318]

I guess royal Enfield is cleaning up their garage . All the left over thunderbird chassis , mud guard and lights from continental GT, tyres from Himalayan engine from left of stock for 350 cc and Some wall paint !

[@akhilthomas5228]

Haha, good one!

[@MegaMar20]

RE Himalayan can do a better job for Leh, this bike is for Delhi ke Doodhwaalas.

[@adarshsurya4372]

Of course the Himalayan That is one of the Royal Enfield signature motorcycle in the indian market. An affordable adventure tourer, a ride which doesn't give up on the rider or the road. And as the tag lines says built for road and no roads. The best part is when you let go of the tarmac and still feel the same. The smile that the ride brings on riders face as soon as you hit off road says it all.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Nicely worded, Adarsh!

[@busdrivermike13]

I love this bike, it’s just a great looking design, It might not be as practical or refined as a Honda cb500x. But you don’t buy a bike like this For the same reasons or riding experience. If it comes to where I live in Canada I will probably Get one, I rode a classic 500 and enjoyed it for It’s simple rougher experience.

[@nihvl]

RE need to stop playing around and build a scrambler based on the Himalayan already

[@powerdriftofficial]

Well said, Nihal!

[@parthpatel6362]

Definitely true. RE should focus more on Engine.

[@thefarmingguy43]

As far as adventure riding is concern, I would never leave my Himalayan . Best bike for the budget and it takes me wherever I want and whenever I want and this bike doesn’t disappoint (small breakdown sometimes ). If Royal Enfield comes up with 650cc with higher low end torque , they will dominant adventure segment across India . Cheers powerdrift

[@vivekanandab720]

i would prefer a royal enfield himalayan with the 650 twin cylinder engine

[@powerdriftofficial]

We would too!

[@sr33nath]

Why royal Enfield why ?? This doesn't make any sense to me at all. Where is your engineers, where is your designers ? What the hell are you thinking about ?? Grow up Sid , Grow up 😂 Hire some customization guys from the streets , they can do a lot better than this.

[@paanchajanyastudios6530]

As said royal enfield is not a brand, selling bikes but it is the emotions... i being a proud owner of RE standard 350 will always feel new and overwhelmed with joy everytime i hop on the metal horse.... being RE enthusiast is to be only by heart... the bullet vibrations while riding is always very pleasuring like recoiling of a gun...

[@paanchajanyastudios6530]

@sufyan ahmed bro experience can never be explained it should be experienced...riding bullet gives such an experience... so ride it with full heart then tell me weather it is a sad reality or not...

[@paanchajanyastudios6530]

@sufyan ahmed yes bro... its all depends on personal views...

[@shahid28285]

RE needs to work on product reliability rather than selling the same shit in different clothing

[@pushkar9304]

Royal Enfield is like Apple Inc. of Motorcycle market. Give customer same old shit with different outer appearance

[@Pikaraptr]

So if the sales are going down, just do mod job of the classics while borrowing parts from the CGT and Himalayan and be lazy about cutting the extra weight, giving better ergonomics and adding switchable abs that actually makes the bike a true offroad machine?

[@shekharrao2685]

Only Himalayan.. 😎🤘 no trial no classic

[@prashanttudu8788]

"They sell emotions" oh really that is why they played with the emotions of many customer who bought pegasus.

[@JayanandSupali]

i would really like to meet the person who sits in the Spare department, with the classic 350 and then give the job to reimagine how new models can be made with existing parts but by just painting them different colours. After Having made Himalayan the 650 twins, i was under the impression that Enfield had started making some sensible bikes. But alas, they want to paint old bikes and rename them to something new (eg Redditch edition, Stealth Black, Pegasus and so on) but keep the same rubbish mechanics. Which Enfield would i prefer you ask. Well, if they put a gun to my head then i would choose Interceptor 650.

[@CK-xr8cs]

Jayanand Supali 😂 you nailed it bro 😂

I visited this video cause i was thinking of converting my EFI TB 500 into a flat tracker and now i know what and where i need to get the parts from.. thanks PD... Cheers

[@arjun.ahluwalia]

I've ridden the interceptor on a soaked road. Even though it's got semi-slicks, it felt confident. Easily the most manoeuvrable RE and a breath of fresh air for RE enthusiasts. A year ago, I also rode a bullet 350 in the rain at Kasol. TERRIFYING! The classic and the bullet series desperately need new engines. The amount of vibrations you get are just not acceptable in today's world.

[@powerdriftofficial]

Indeed, an update is overdue. Have you seen our recent posts on Instagram? A new engine series is being developed and tested as we speak. Fingers crossed! :)
