Royal Enfield Classic 350 | Jenny Brown's Point | Why we haven't been out and about |
Переглядів 1,5 тис.21 день тому
Hello all, at last we have managed to get out on Clementine, my Royal Enfield Classic 350. In this video, we explain why we have been absent, whilst riding to Jenny Brown's Point, in the Arnside and Silverdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). I would like to add, just how grateful we are, that you have been patient with us, and thanks for all the well wishes for my wife. I had intende...
Royal Enfield Scram 411 Review | Looking forward to the Guerrilla 450 |
Переглядів 2,5 тис.21 день тому
Hello, As we are awaiting the release of the new Royal Enfield Guerrilla 450, which we believe is essentially the "Scram" version of the new Himalayan 450, but with a few more differences than the Scram 411 was to the Himalayan 411, I really wanted to get out on the Scram 411 so I would have something to compare the new bike to (when we get to ride it). I didn't really gel with the Himalayan 41...

Yes I am a fair weather rider, been there, done that, got the arthritis to prove it.....ha ha ! There will be a week's absence from videos, but hopefully summer will show up, so we can get out again soon. Thanks for sticking with me Ian (and Pip the dog)

At the end of the day, the Royal Enfield Classic 350, is a cheap/budget bike, so it does come with a few niggles, but on the whole, it is still a brilliant bike.

    It's always hard when you have a brand, Fender & Gibson Guitars have tried for decades to bring out new models and modernise but everyone wants a Stratocaster, Telecaster or Les Paul, just like from the 50's! I look forward to seeing the Guerilla at the bike show, and hopefully a Classic 650 👍

      Absolutely agree Glyn, those companies who copy the famous guitar brands, make them look/feel like the Strat, or LP so they can sell them.

I haven’t been out on Bella for two weeks, I was advised by my GP to have the shingles jab now I’m 65 so I had it and have been quite ill , at one point I was taken to hospital with a heart problem so I’ve got to see my doctor again. I have to say the ambulance staff were fab but the staff at newcross hospital were awful, they got rid of me without even speaking to me so I’m confused? The thing is I’ve got have a second jab January? Like ech I will? Hope you and Ann both get well soon ❤❤

    Agree on all your points. Leds on mine spokes are poor I'm going to try burnishing then try hard lacquer. no bike is perfect. Do all my own servicing. Easy peasy and not worried about warranty 300 quid for 2 valves and an oil change is a joke Had my classic for 2 years. Does everything I want and is a huge improvement over my previous Kawasaki VN900. Why? Character and Soul, something very few bikes these days have. Speedo ? I've got a little condensation, but it still works fine. Will I replace it ? Possibly, but the kph ones are only 60 quid, so that'll do me.

      Morning Lee. The 350’s definitely have character, I sold a Yamaha Tracer 900 for an Interceptor 650 (which also has character), then bought the Classic 350 as a “2nd” bike. Turned out the 350 was ridden more, so sold the 650 😂. Cheers

    Glad you're both on the mend Ian. Have to admit the new Himalayan doesn't flick any of my switches, much prefer the 1st generation however, from what I've seen and heard about the new Guerrilla it looks to be a cracker with its slimmed down tank and 17 inch wheels. It's also remarkably light along with the sensible seat height to. My dealer is expecting a showroom bike and a demonstrator anytime now and will ring me as soon as it hits the showroom floor. I understand there is also a boat load of them currently crossing the pond. Some of the colour schemes look odd - why have a black back wheel and a blue front one?🤔 However if they look as good in the flesh and they ride well I maybe persuaded to trade the Classic in for one. The Meteor Aurora is a keeper though. Look forward to your next vlog, enjoy your break.🙂👍 T

    I'm getting seriously tempted with these Royal Enfields. As much as I love the look and sound of the Classic 350, the new Guerilla has thrown a spanner in the works! I love to ride my Tracer 900 but the more I think about it a smaller capacity bike could sit alongside it for those lazy rides round the lanes in my area. And the price of the Enfields is very reasonable and easy to justify...Some great footage there by the way.

If the Guerrilla Package, is as good as the Himi 450, it will be another brilliant do it all bike. Bimble down the back lanes, “scratching” (remember when we used to call it that 😂) on A and faster B roads, a bit of motorway work thrown in too….and all for around £5000….unbelievable value in my humble opinion. The proof of course will be in the riding, can’t wait. Cheers

    Hi what a great video one of the best reviews of a motorcycle I’ve seen and listened too in a long long while and based on this it has put the shotgun on top of my list it was between triumph speed twin 1200 and T120 but they are double the price and as this is more for a winter hack other than when it’s icy or the salt has gone down it will stay in the garage I ride a triumph rocket gt3 and I only take that out when it’s dry and sunny that’s my baby a big one at that so shotgun it is either in the green or the is it white/grey I’ll have to decide that but anyway great video take care ride safe mate bye for now 👋

      Thanks Nicholas, for this very kind comment. I do try to be as honest as you can be, riding a brand new bike, being unable to “give it some” 😂. When we went on the RE City Tour ua-cam.com/video/e1iVzqGnY8c/v-deo.htmlsi=X8MY6myXml1i7sXA I had the good fortune to ride behind one, they look and sound good too 😉. It would be an ideal stablemate for the Rocket. Thanks again

    Hi Ian, regarding the Guerrilla I don't closely follow RE channels in particular so I haven't heard what negative things are being said about the bike ( It seems a winner too me) What are people complaining about specifically ? ... Thanks Dave.

      @ianhughesroyalenfield 8 днів тому

      Morning Dave. Saying things like “RE should stick to air cooled classics”, “why aren’t RE staying with what they do best”…that sort of thing. Plus, saying what they think RE should be producing, like the Guerrilla with a 650 engine, or an 800+ etc. Some people are just being blinkered, and I am expecting one of my subscribers to chime in with a similar comment either on here or when I do get to do a demo ride 🫣🙄😂, he will get told ……. 😂 Cheers

    G'day Ian, you've both been doing it a bit tough of late, so I hope that the upcoming trip is beneficial for the pair of you. The Guerrilla isn't really my style of bike, so I'll stick with my trusty Guzzi 750 Breva, even if it is a bit heavier. 👍

    Good to see you both out and about. I agree with you on the Royal Enfield front. If they keep churning out the same bixe with air cooled engines the Euro emissions will no doubt catch up with them for a start. The Guerrilla is more of an upgrade of a Hunter style bike than a Scram to me.

      Morning James, I like getting lost occasionally 😂 (don’t take kindly to being told to though 🤔😂) I really can see that Sherpa 450 engine appearing in more different bike styles in the future, though unsure whether the engine characteristics would suit a Classic 🤔. To my eyes, the Guerrilla, takes me back to the early 80’s, when we were “styling” our bikes to look different. When I first saw the white/blue colour scheme, I thought RD-LC…..the difference being that I would have painted the rear wheel the same as the front. Just having the front in blue, really sends my ocd into overdrive 😂. So how long have you had your cough ? Cheers

    Judging by the several Enfield riders I view on UA-cam the natural habitat for these narrow country lanes (I write that just as you mentioned the Facebook group). Also my sort of road but my ADV350 has more horses and I rarely open throttle very far (which makes me tempted for something lighter and less powerful) Your caravan site looks very close to Martin Trafford Moorland Rider with his Himalayan

    Hope you both are feeling much better soon Ian. I’m not a fan of the new Guerrilla 450 but not because I think they should stick to retro bikes. On the contrary, innovation is the driving force to any company that wants to stay in business. It just that there’s something about the style of the bike that leaves me cold. I might think differently once I’ve seen it up close though. 👍

      Morning Nick. It definitely won’t appeal to everyone, some of the colours are too “funky” for a start, but for those who have a dig at them for trying to be different (well as different as you can with two wheels, a frame and engine), is just being blinkered. Suggesting RE should just stick to Classic looking bikes, is a bit silly 😂 Cheers

Yes, really looking forward to the Guerrilla, though I don’t think it will be competition for the Goldstar. The Sherpa engine (Sherpa brings back memories of me delivering car parts in the late 70’s and early 80’s 😂), isn’t as quick as the 650 lump.

You are of course completely correct in what you say about the Enfield brand not standing still this new Gorilla is no exception a great looking bike and seems to be going down very well with those who are supposed to know .Alas I feel that both BSA and Norton seem to have stood still with not much happening at all , I fear if this does not change they are likely to disappear quite quickly especially with the Chinese bringing out ever more new and updated models at very competitive prices. These I know are not popular with many but neither were the Japanese bikes way back when and look what happened there only my opinion 😁great watch cheers👌👍
