If you cruised at 75mph all day in the UK you'd fall off the other side 😁 A 47hp bike can do that fine, as long as you're happy hanging on. 65mph is about the max I feel comfortable at on a naked bike on longer journeys

Hello, I'm a typical 5'10 / 177cm but actually very short legs - 28". The Bullet seat certainly sits you a little further back and is more supportive. Maybe you could try sitting on a Bullet at your local dealer

Hi, yes it fits but the handlebars touch ever so lightly at full lock and I think just shaving the mounting rubbers a couple of mm would solve that. If you look at my Classic 350 playlist on the channel you can see me trying a Meteor tank on a Classic in one of the early episodes

It kind of does, but needs a bit of modification I believe, just to attach it, but nothing too radical. I've seen one done but not done it myself - a chap on the UK facebook group for the Classic 350 did

Yes, much easier, although they are quite far back and in a very comfortable position already

@@GlynOC that's good to hear.

270, just like the others👍

Gold components are very divisive! There are still people who can't forgive RE for the little gold canisters on the back of the shocks on the Interceptor🤪

@GlynOC Oh they would be straight in the bin.

Thanks very much for coming to comment, great to hear from you. I know what you mean about the miscellaneous bracketry and whatnot, it has quite a few open spaces. I'm guessing that's to make production simpler and keep costs down, when there are fewer surfaces to fit together, less precision is needed with the stamped metal parts. At least the savings on a Triumph equivalent model are considerable!🤪

haha you've grown up! That'll be great for a tour won't it, will anyone be going on the back? Hope all well with you👍

No chance!❤️

Thanks very much for watching, I love looking at the bikes!

Hello! Yes, it'll fit no problem although the knurled parts that would usually be hidden by the handlebar clamps will be on show, some people have covered them with tape, stickers, or rubber ties that hold the cables to the bars👍

It'll kind of work but there's no bolt holes to hold it on, though you could work around that, maybe I'll try it as I've got a Meteor seat here somewhere from my last project bike

haha that's exactly what I think

I've got my eye out for one of those to try, they have a really good reputation from those who've bought them and they look good too👍

I haven't tried the top speed really, the roads around here aren't really long enough! It gets to 65 happily but seems like a long drag after that, it's happier at 55-60mph. I think the bigger tyres have messed up the gearing to can't quite pull top gear like it wants too. I haven't measured mpg either but I don't think all the hills help

I think they imagined that tyre differently didn't they.....

I don't think generalisations work either way, some people work better with some ergonomics than others. I've never found low seated bikes to be better, but there are many other things affecting that apart from the seat height, such as all the other ergonomic choices you get from a bike with a low seat 👍

I heard they're taking it up to 750 for the new Interceptor, we'll find out soon I think. Perhaps a twin based on the water cooled 450 platform might come one day eh

That sounds really good, a bike that makes you smile is all you need!

I know, they're very good value too. Even more so when people sell them after a year with a few hundred miles on!

It's just the original header and silencer with the centre section left out!

Hi, thanks for watching. There's a link in the description, if that's not available where you live then there's details of the dimensions there too. They're roughly similar to Renthal Road-Low type but quite a bit wider. Hope that helps, Glyn

Never a bad choice👍

It's a big thing, I sat one of the 'little' Classics afterwards and it felt so small and a bit cramped, although I went out on my 350 today and it felt 'normal' size again so I just don't know! It's a kind of Indian/British Harley in a way

An ideal time of year to do it now too!

I've seen a few that look shorter and a bit neater, Rhino racing I think? Not too loud either it seems but hard to tell on videos isn't it?

Thanks very much for watching and coming to comment👍 The teal is a really striking bike and looks a slightly different colour from different angles. I don't know if you noticed but it has brown grips too, as well as the seat. Not sure if that's going to be on the production models when they arrive. Enjoy your bike🙏

They really are, a rare thing these days🤪

Good point!!

I would hope your Gold Coast has better weather than the UK but perhaps I'm just imagining it from films and TV! I'm not sure what the service intervals are for these?

@ to hot to ride atm. The valves need adjusting every 3000 miles

Hi, thanks for your comment and coming to watch 👍 I'm sure it could be moved back a bit with a couple of metal strap type brackets just to move it back and up a bit. You'd need to put something under the rubber bungs at the front of the seat too where it rests on the frame tubes. I think the classic seat would benefit from moving a couple of inches back

I hope so too, it looked a pre production one and I think the production ones might be even better👍

Thanks Steven, that Goan is nuts! The colours are really out there and the white walls really suit it but I knew that because I put them on mine. That's a real character bike, as if wasn't already!!

Looking around the show, they're in a league of their own at the moment. I'm not just saying that as a fan, a lot of the other manufacturers were very stale in their offerings🤪

I know what you mean 👍 Might look better with sidebags on!

Yes they are!

It's very striking, especially with the coloured frame too

Hi Peter, hope all well down with you? The Bear looks great but yes, probably need a paddock stand and some muscles to sort it out for maintenance etc. I didn't check to see if it had frame bobbins? There's other ways though. The three of them all look quite unique and the seating position of the Classic is really good, like you're a king of sorts. I was really impressed by the Guerilla, one of the best seating positions I sat on at the show and good looking too. Have a good winter if you get one over there🤪

Morning Glyn sorry missed your reply till this morning, RE are just about the most exciting brand out there with the choice provided around basically 3/4 platforms as the starting point, in fact when they bring out something new I’m thinking wow, my latest want is the 440 6 speed scram in the green chassis 🤪 yes we are in the middle of winter here at the moment Baltic at 7c yesterday but the same as frejus san Raphael down south 😳 so shouldn’t complain really, did you manage to avoid flood n pestilence during the recent storm as I understand wales copped it quite bad 🫣 ….. Pete 🇫🇷

Hopefully it will return soon for you. Hope you enjoy your 350👍

@@GlynOC thank you so much (y)

I think so too! They're really quite shiny in the flesh, it's a classy looking bike

I'm sure it was a practical issue to reuse the same frame as the SM and Shotgun which kind of determined how it ended up looking. It's certainly a bike with its own look that will either strike a nerve or not for you. It's very impressive to sit on though, proper king of the road stuff. The Bear is a chunky boy too
