Ive been trying to spread the word: the more I ride mine the more I enjoy it. I put the TEC cam in as well as a Zard exhaust and now I easily hit the limiter at 85mph all the time. Before I could barely get it up to, and keep it at, 80mph. Definitely worth it, at least the cam, if you are planning on getting one. Im replacing brake pads this week which Im sure will help the slightly lackluster brakes. Other than that Ive replaced bits and pieces here and there and Im loving the way it looks and rides. It wont shoot you to the moon, but it will get you there nice and smoothly. With a cam and exhaust it will with a little more zip.
Bought a Himalayan 2 years ago as an every day ride to work bike to replace a 60k Honda, apart from the feeble rear rack I've no issues at all with this bike . Easy to service, service cheap to run , reliable, better build quality than the h---a . Yes they lack at bit of performance, best performance mod for the himi is to get a continental gt 650 to blast round on at the weekend..👍
Had one as a courtesy bike. Really smooth for a single. Great all round bike. Really impressed overall. Not to everyone's taste visually. Another good honest, informative review.
Thanks for the review, Mark! After a winter of weighing pros and cons of Scram vs Hunter, I ordered the Hunter to replace my 125 scooter I commute on. My typical trips are 15-25 miles here in South Bohemia, on beautiful countryside twisties, with some Budweis city traffic. Hunter pros: smaller, nimbler, sporty position suits my featherweight build well, alloys are easier to clean, tubeless and will last forever in real world Europe, fuel consumption, simpler bike, it looks very nice and beefy in person (I still can't wrap my head around how different it looks on video and pictures...) Bang for buck. The hunter is pretty much the cheapest thing out there, while it still is and looks rock solid. Even if they sell for half the price in India. Hunter cons: arguably less comfortable for longer journeys, rear suspension (for heavier people, I'm more than fine), lower top speed (if I ever leave my hilly backroad habitat, which is not very likely) Scram pros: (almost) touring capabilities with higher top speed and upright position. Some offroad capability (but I'll probably let the tractor field paths be, forrest roads are all paved here, due heavy logging, and we walk the beautiful forrests around here) The Scram allows for taller windshield. That star-warsey, purposefully ugly design. Scram cons: Taller, bigger bike, which makes it more difficult to manouever in front of shops, my workplace etc...although it's not actually any heavier than the Hunter! That star-warsey purposefully ugly design. Upright position combined with higher center of gravity is just not my style. Spoked wheels will deteriorate over time. So yeah, that's pretty much my thought process.
Great review Mark! Have not seen 1 review on the hunter Stanislav on the Tube yet. Not introduced in the lower 48 yet. Their unloading ALL the 2023 leftovers before the 450 or 650 hit the dealerships. Brought home a 22 Himalayan leftover 15 days ago here in Vegas so fat chance they will roll out newer models on the floor yet. Ride safe!
I have one and i love it, for the island i live on full of muddy tracks and bad tarmac with potholes and broken water pipes every week or two, this bike is perfect. And consider i own a ducati nightshift scrambler, a ducati scrambler limited cafe racer, and a harley davidson 1200 sportster too, and I am still proud to ride my enfield scram 411. Great for beginners who are tall enough, as the low horsepower and low revs it likes, is nice and safe, and the bike, once rolling, is very stable, and handles all kinds of surfaces as well as great cornering and a very wide turning angle
I had a test ride on the scram last year and was very impressed.Particularly how quickly it could get up to 70 mph.Its worth noting that there isn't a huge difference in weight between the Scram and Hunter.The Hunter is only 4 kg lighter than the Sram that comes in at 184kg.
It sounds like a really nice running bike for daily running around. As long as you don't expect 100+ mph performance I think it would certainly do me with it's amazing economy and general all-round user friendliness. Great video Mark, thanks.
That’s why they released the HNTR 350. Alloy rims, quicker steering, aimed at the urban rider. I would be happy with any of the Royal Enfield models. To me the Scram is the Swiss Army knife of bikes outside of a racetrack.
G'day Mark from Australia, my local RE dealer can't get enough of the scram 411cc bikes as soon as they arrive there gone, RE are on a good principle of keep it simple and it works, there off roaders are crossing the world everyday, l think the 650cc version will be a winner for those that thinks it needs more power, cheers mate,ride safe, Neil. PS 50 years riding this month.
Just watched this again, Mark. Under 4,100 GBP in Thailand. The low-down torque would remind me of my old XT500. I went all over on that. Never thought I needed more power. It put out 29 bhp at the crank but was a bit lighter than the Scram. An alternative to the 411 in Thailand now is the Yamaha SR400 which puts out 24 bhp at the crank... but it costs a staggering 7,200 GBP. The price appears to have gone up recently because Japan has stopped making them. The 390 is still running well, though. Excellent review. 1990 [Nick J]
Good looking bike. I'd say it's a great choice for a beginner who loves the modern take on the old scrambler style bikes. All the power you really need to have all the fun, but probably not the highest quality performance parts.
Great review Mark, I had a Himalayan for 3 1/2 years used it to commute in all weathers only issue I had was a headstock bearing around 18k. Never found the 411 lacking and performance was fine on the heaver Himalayan so with less weight the scram would be fine. Nice one keep it up.
No rust really but as I rode all year I hosed off any road salt and washed it weekly in the winter. Used a protective spay as well. Held up really well.
@@chrisrose-jx1wq this is great news, so with reasonable care she is still clean ,ngl scram and hunter do something to my soul ... I really like both these bikes so much
Wonderful review thank you Mark. I’m in the process of running mine in, first service is next Tuesday. From the 300 miles I’ve done on it, apart from my experience being limited to the 40mph running I speed it concur with all of your observations about the bike. They are a cracking bike 👍🏻
I didn't bother service first 500 km because it is a 600 km transport fee to service it to nearest service center where i am, so i did the old press the i Icon button 30 seconds in trip B, switch off with key and keep holding 30 second, and switch back on 30 seconds hold till the spanner flashing icon on the tachometer disappears (service warning), as an enfield is like a 1980s bike you can change the oil and tighten the screws and lube your chain yourself, no need to send it for service to the official center that is an 'upsell moneymaker' where you pay more than you need for jobs any mechanic in your village can do
@@AjarnSpencerthat’s useful info for resetting the service light, cheers for sharing. Don’t disagree wit you re the simplicity of the servicing. Doing servicing myself will probably be the road I’ll go down once the warranty expires. Cheers for commenting 😁
An absolutely great value bike Mark I really like the Enfield brand great value not overly fast but that's not everything .They always look good a proper classic style of bike .👌👍 nicely done as always .
Top notch review as always. I have a lightly modded Meteor which is excellent and intend to add a nother Enfield to the garage. Initially was going to get a Hunter but am really attracted to the Scram. Only thing putting me off is the spoked wheels with the associated tube tyres. Your view would be appreciated.
Hi Sue ...re spokes and tubes .. you would have to be very unlucky to get a puncture even though it is a bit more likely with tubes and spokes are easy to live with never had an issue with them Best wishes mark
Good review as always. Had my Scram a month now and absolutely love it, warts and all. Have the rusty spokes but a lot of salt everywhere on roads. If it had stainless spokes it would be a perfect bike 🤩
Look at getting the TEC cam. It's only about 150 I believe and with an exhaust it makes a noticeable improvement. Doesnt turn it into a rocket ship, but gives it some nice pep and gets up to speed and holds it there much better.
Brilliant review as always When the scram came out I thought yep that's an improvement on the Himalayan as it looks nice After thinking and this is pure opinion I think the Scram is more limited than the Himalayan, i think I'd buy the Himalayan.(Standard center stand, windscreen, Direction Nav aid, Luggage rack, .......)
I like the look of the Scram, yes I’m an outlier! I’m guessing that with what we see for changes on both the Hunter and Super Meteor we will be seeing RE begin to do many changes to their bikes. Alas the lack of a center stand is shortsighted on their part. Center stands are a pet peeve of mine.
Enjoyed watching this review Mark. Needing to look at part exing a couple of bikes to make space and looking at the scram as a one bike all-rounder. Always find your observations and appraisal of bikes so helpful. Thanks. Paul D
Enjoying watching your bike reviews, particularly the R.E variants, thinking of combining what my current 2 motorbikes offer into one 'do-it-all' bike that i could swap to maybe next year, the R.E 350-411 offerings do appeal to me a lot, i think the HNTR is my fave so far.
Excellent presentation! This bike makes so much sense. I love a torquey engine. I am looking for a bike that is nimble enough for the city and good on gravel/dirt roads. This just might be the ticket. I really appreciate the way you demonstrated speeds and RPM's. This bike is capable to travel all over Ecuador.
Dear Mark Today i made the purchase Of a 2023 Tiger Sport 850 In the Caspian Blue and Gray Graphite I have pedaled a bicycle 3000 miles a year for the last 4 years to save for this I have no car This is really a perfect fit for me and what i intend to do with it. My Gosh what a plush Suspension And the Brakes are absolutely Premium As i said i am 6ft1 and i have a 73 inch reach and 36 inseam When i sit on this Tiger I truly feel in the bike Not on top but in. Thank you for your Tremendous insights And Inspiration Take Care my friend
Thanks Mark... great coverage. Personally, I think they need to update this to reflect the improvements on the new Hunter. Tubeless tires, center stand, and black exhaust world likely help their sales of this model. Still, based upon the weight of this bike, it looks to be less power to weight ratio than the Hunter. They need to tune this up closer to 35 hp. Gord
cant believe we own the same bikes.... i've a 790 duke..... had it 5 years 14k miles one of the first in the country. it's a keeper, fantastic bike.... just got a hntr 350 rebel blue.... love them both..... tip for the 790, send ecu to j33 for a remap..... all low speed throttle probs will disappear.....sorry to go off piste on comments..... looking forward to your hntr 1000 mile review.
Mmmmmmm for an Enfield it don't look too bad , make a great commuter for buzzing to work and back . Cheers Mark great in depth review ,yours is one of the best i think.
Lovely looking bike in this color however not too sure about the garish blue highlights. Acceptable performance if this is what your after and very well priced. Sounds like you enjoyed the Scram Mark, as always excellent review Thanks.
Good review, thanks. I was thinking about a Scram last year until the Hunter appeared ...... no contest :) I've had my Hunter (Rebel Red) just over a week now and coming up for it's 300 mile service. Looking forward to your next Hunter review .... so I can compare notes :)
Its a great looking bike , much brtter than the himalayin . 2 things I'd replace right away , the tires. Get a good set of dual sport tires like Bridgestone or Dunlop. Second is the foot pegs , they're JUNK. For any dual sport riding get a good set of aftermarket motocross pegs , the wide spiked or cleated kind. Your feet will be much safer with them. Royal Enfield R&D department take note. The rest of the bike looks OK.
Im selling my rather tired 2005 CBF250 and not sure which RE to get. Hunter or the Scram 411.Either way it will be my all year round commute and found your opinion and review of these very helpful, thank you.
Hi surprisingly its not really any faster they both do 75 ish The scram has a bit more pull and torque but they are actually well matched Best wishes mark
This has taken over from the Hunter as my favourite RE. A bit heavy for the capacity, perhaps, but good low-down torque. It could do with a rev counter instead of that navigator thing.
I would have to argue that the Yamaha XT250 or whatever it's called in your country, Serow? The Yamaha would be a good other choice to compete with this bike. 130 lbs less weight to deal with and much more off road clearance and suspension travel I believe. Also the Yamaha is simple and goes 75mph. Long trips or higher speed comfort would go to the Royal Enfield no doubt. Luggage capacity is probably another plus on the R.E.
I'd have to take that exhaust off and spray it with some high temp matte black. That looks terrible, looks like it's all rusted especially the can. Otherwise, looks good
Hi Mark, Thank's again for the nice review. I am interested in knowing if the peg position on your Hunter makes your legs/knees a little tired after maybe a couple of hours of driving? I had a BMW R1200R that had pegs somewhat swept back & they made my legs/knees somewhat sore. I will be testing the Hunter when they get to the U.S. market later this fall. Thank's for your time & all of your great videos. Have a beautiful day!! Illinois, USA
Hi Larry no I find the leg position and the general riding position on my hunter very comfortable...even after 2 hours of riding...it's a fabulous little bike and I'm very happy with it Greetings btw to Illinois...i was in Kentucky 3 months ago visiting my mum ! Best wishes mark
Hi Mark, you seem to really like the scram and yet you bought the Hunter for your own bike! a dilemma which i'm also pondering. wish the scram had the better switch gear and curvier master reservoir but hey ho. have you made the right choice or any second thoughts? cheers
I was hoping you would that you comparison to the 350 enfield would be a little more detailed as this is such an asked question. The 350 engine certainly looks nicer than the 411 but riding characteristics, feel and character are only something you can coment on having ridden both. Maybe a comparison review.
I had a chance to ride a 2022 Himalayan and a 2023 Scram back to back yesterday. The Scram seemed smoother, is it the revised fuel map? I liked the Himalayan better for wind protection and it suits my style more, so that's for me. But, I'm hoping the map for 2023 is better. Does anyone know if that's true
Hi Mark, thanks for the the nice review. Out of the two which bike would you recommend for long distance travel/motorway use?Referring to RE Hunter 350 or RE Scram 411. Thanks
Hi Salman...well they are both similar top speed .. hunter 75 mph ish and scram possibly 80 mph max ...I'd say the scram would win for the longer journey...it's just a bit more comfortable and substantial Best wishes mark
Hi Mark! Very nice video like usual RE classic 350 vs RE scram411.. which one would you pick? I love both and it is a hard choice. The area where I live has lots of hills just to make it easier to decide power wise Thank you 👍🏼
Hi tough Choice... performance wise not a huge amount of difference..I'd personally go for the classic just because I love it's looks but if you need more of a do everything bike the scram is a better bet Best wishes mark
Looks nice in that colour. I need tubeless tyres and every bike I've had since my 1974 Honda CB250 has had a rev counter, I'd miss that. Maybe you will give the new Interceptor a look. Cheers.
Great review Mark, I have heard that the Hunter is very much smoother than the Scram. Is that your experience please? There is also the rumour that the 411 engine will be replaced by a new 450cc. Have you heard this and if true, what would it do the the residual value of a scram?
Hi Arthur...the hunter engine is a gem yes it is a bit smoother than a scram ...it also sounds less agricultural shall we say I think a scram would loose £2 k over a few years Best wishes mark
Great review as🙏 always, scam looks a great bike...royal Enfield really do offer a great stable, I'm currently saving for the hunter 😁, still, how does the 'tripper navigation' preform? And Mark those gloves 🧤 look super comfortable and tactile 😃... thanks again Martine 💚
Hi Martine the tripper is basic but gives turn by turn navigation it works really well....and yes my gloves 🧤 are very warm made by endura Hope you're well :)
@@markpulling12 I am so much, I don't want to do finance though, so saving pound notes, as I still have 12 months to pay on my tracer, which is an amazing bike 😁 X
I’d consider buying the little 350 Enfield Hunter; lively street single, great looks and perfect for a day out on two wheels. This, on the other hand, is simply to ugly to be able to consider. Don’t really think it offers anything much more for the extra dough over the Hunter; I guess you would know?
Hi Nigel I have a hunter 350 and apart from bigger size and a bit of off road ability on the scram ...I'd choose the hunter ...it's just such a lovely little bike to ride Best wishes mark
I really prefer the Himalayan's superior instrumentation but this bike doesn't have the same starting issues that bike has. I am not sure why they fixed it with the Scram but not the Himalayan when they are the same bike.
Dear Mark Hello again Thank you for All your helpful videos It is an Auspicious week here for me I am about to purchase a 2023 Triumph Tiger Sport 850 This is after saving up for 4 years Riding a bicycle I am 6 ft 1 in and have a evenly distributed body weight of 225lbs I will be using this primarily at slow speeds around town And longer trips in the future I am not a racer I wanted something that fits me i have tried many bikes Even though i am 6ft 1 My arms are a 73 and half reach and My inseam is 36in I would love to know your thoughts on this Motorcycle I wish all Happiness to You Take Care my Friend
Hi yes I would recommend the tiger 850 ...as you are tall and with a 36 " inseam the taller adventure style bike would definitely suit you Triumph bikes have great reliable engines ...I think you are going to really enjoy it Best wishes mark
Hi I'd say yes ...it's built for a little bit of light tracks and trails...it's mono shock is a bit more supple than the firm twin shocks of the hunter Best wishes mark
Great review, thank you! However, would it be possible to change the formula of your tests a bit especially when you have the bikes for a couple of weeks that you take them on a full day rides or even, when possible, a longer tour? I say this as it would give more insight into a machine’s capability’s. It’s great you test them all over the same route, as that creates a standard, but occasionally taking one (such as the scram) out over a longer route and filming it or even when possible a multi day ride would add a lot to your reviews and insight into the bikes. Is this a lot to ask, maybe yes and certainly not always possible, but a route across the Purbecks, Portland and further on filmed etc. may enhance things. Thank you again for your reviews. 👍
Yes hi Graham many thanks... when I have a bike for 2 weeks...I do about 300 miles on them ...weather permitting...and then give my views in the review but I tend to film on my general routes because I know them ...when I ride further afield it's nice just to ride the bike and get a feel for it rather than filming....then I film on my route and give my thoughts if you catch my drift....the super meteor was filmed in Weymouth area though for a change But thanks for your feedback....it's always heeded and appreciated Best regards mark
@@markpulling12 - Thanks for the reply and background Mark, much appreciated. I guess my comment was more aimed at adding a different dimension to the excellent and successful formula you have, e.g. new sights and insights etc. Very much enjoy your reviews and the bikes you test. 👍
Something u haven’t mentioned mark is that everyone I know who has bought one of these say the dealers are fab. Don’t know myself but it’s an important option for some. Also diy on these is a cinch as well as too frequent valve adjustments
Hi Mark Comparing the Scram and the Hntr what is millage out of the Hntr please. As looking at both for a new year bike, we'll when I pass my test at 65.
Some of the welds look like they were done with a straightened coat hanger. For example at 3:46 . I have seen other enfiields with the same issue. Am I being unreasonable expecting better workmanship than that?
I tried to ride this booked that bike for a test ride. But, height is not for me. I'm 5'6 hard to tiptoe around on a heavier bike as well. Ended up riding the Hunter 350. And that is better for my height. So waiting for Honda CL500 for scrambler type bike.
How’s the reliability on Royal Enfields? I’ve read that they leak oil after awhile. I like the looks and sound but shy away from them because of what I’ve read.
Hi Mike I've had a lot to do with the newer Enfields over the past few years..and what you say maybe true of the old models ...but I've seen and heard nothing but positive reviews from happy customers who have interceptors , Himalayan etc etc Generally they are good solid machines Best wishes mark
Thanks Mark for your reply. I’m glad to hear you attest to that because I don’t see anyone talking about long term. I do like their looks and the price is reasonable. Great review as always. Thanks!
I’ve had a Bullet 500efi and Himalayan and no problems with either. The 411 engine is a cracker, reliable and easy to maintain plus you get 3 years warranty which is 1 year more than Honda give you. I’m a member of the Facebook Himalayan owners group and a lot of people put these bikes through some very heavy off roading and travel.
@@captainpugwash788 ah right, I'd be applying a bit of silicone sealer to the replacements in that case. Happy to say the ones on my Interceptor have stayed in place! 👍
people review these bikes before they are properly run and bedded in.... long stroke old fashioned single cyl engine in a modern package to go explore the backroads on... not a speed machine but we knew that already
Hi James I've just bought a 2018 790 duke !! Lol I think the new 790 is much the same but less power 95 hp and I think the engine may be built somewhere else now . Cheers mark
Hi its got a few more hp and torque but in the real world it's very similar in performance...but it sounds very agricultural whereas the hunter is super smooth and refined Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 Thank you for the information! I own a HNTR 350 Rebel Red since there weeks. It's a really nice bike!!!! I love it!!!! I was only interested if the Scram engine were much better than the Hunter!?!?

@@markpulling12 I love that. The trophy was really nice, but thought you’d changed it at some point. It’d be interesting to see your bikes on the channel.

Looking forward to the next video. Luke
So, in comparison to the Himalayan, the Scram would be more adaptable to urban environments, whereas the Himalayan is more suitable for off-road riding
The Himalayan is also excellent in town, so impressed after a year, I just bought another RE, Meteor 350. I think you choose the Scram for it's styling. Keep it simple and fun seems to be the DNA from RE.
@@markpulling12 Nice one, wish Yamaha still made XT 350s. Bought one off a chap who drove it all the way to Cadnam from Portsmouth then handed the money over and went back home to the New Forest on it. Great bike back in the day. Cheers for reply👍

I didn't bother service first 500 km because it is a 600 km transport fee to service it to nearest service center where i am, so i did the old press the i Icon button 30 seconds in trip B, switch off with key and keep holding 30 second, and switch back on 30 seconds hold till the spanner flashing icon on the tachometer disappears (service warning), as an enfield is like a 1980s bike you can change the oil and tighten the screws and lube your chain yourself, no need to send it for service to the official center that is an 'upsell moneymaker' where you pay more than you need for jobs any mechanic in your village can do
@@AjarnSpencerthat’s useful info for resetting the service light, cheers for sharing. Don’t disagree wit you re the simplicity of the servicing. Doing servicing myself will probably be the road I’ll go down once the warranty expires. Cheers for commenting 😁
An absolutely great value bike Mark I really like the Enfield brand great value not overly fast but that's not everything .They always look good a proper classic style of bike .👌👍 nicely done as always .
Many thanks...I really enjoyed the scram ...looks great too
Best bbike reviewer on the internet imo. No nonsense and too the point.
Many thanks Jonathan 😊
Top notch review as always. I have a lightly modded Meteor which is excellent and intend to add a nother Enfield to the garage. Initially was going to get a Hunter but am really attracted to the Scram. Only thing putting me off is the spoked wheels with the associated tube tyres. Your view would be appreciated.
Hi Sue ...re spokes and tubes .. you would have to be very unlucky to get a puncture even though it is a bit more likely with tubes and spokes are easy to live with never had an issue with them
Best wishes mark
Good review as always. Had my Scram a month now and absolutely love it, warts and all. Have the rusty spokes but a lot of salt everywhere on roads. If it had stainless spokes it would be a perfect bike 🤩
Thanks Jon :)
Look at getting the TEC cam. It's only about 150 I believe and with an exhaust it makes a noticeable improvement. Doesnt turn it into a rocket ship, but gives it some nice pep and gets up to speed and holds it there much better.
Hi Mark, I think your reviews are the best on UA-cam, all the info needed!
Thanks Paul I appreciate that 😊
Brilliant review as always
When the scram came out I thought yep that's an improvement on the Himalayan as it looks nice
After thinking and this is pure opinion I think the Scram is more limited than the Himalayan, i think I'd buy the Himalayan.(Standard center stand, windscreen, Direction Nav aid, Luggage rack, .......)
I like the look of the Scram, yes I’m an outlier! I’m guessing that with what we see for changes on both the Hunter and Super Meteor we will be seeing RE begin to do many changes to their bikes. Alas the lack of a center stand is shortsighted on their part. Center stands are a pet peeve of mine.
Enjoyed watching this review Mark. Needing to look at part exing a couple of bikes to make space and looking at the scram as a one bike all-rounder. Always find your observations and appraisal of bikes so helpful. Thanks. Paul D
Enjoying watching your bike reviews, particularly the R.E variants, thinking of combining what my current 2 motorbikes offer into one 'do-it-all' bike that i could swap to maybe next year, the R.E 350-411 offerings do appeal to me a lot, i think the HNTR is my fave so far.
Thanks yes I'm loving my hunter its a great bike
Best wishes mark
Excellent presentation! This bike makes so much sense. I love a torquey engine. I am looking for a bike that is nimble enough for the city and good on gravel/dirt roads. This just might be the ticket. I really appreciate the way you demonstrated speeds and RPM's. This bike is capable to travel all over Ecuador.
Many thanks:)
Dear Mark
Today i made the purchase
Of a 2023 Tiger Sport 850
In the Caspian Blue and Gray Graphite
I have pedaled a bicycle 3000 miles a year for the last 4 years to save for this
I have no car
This is really a perfect fit for me and what i intend to do with it.
My Gosh what a plush Suspension
And the Brakes are absolutely Premium
As i said i am 6ft1 and i have a 73 inch reach and 36 inseam
When i sit on this Tiger
I truly feel in the bike
Not on top but in.
Thank you for your Tremendous insights
And Inspiration
Take Care my friend
Hi thanks... hope you enjoy many miles on your new triumph....they are great bikes best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 thank you Mark
Take Care
Great review mark,I didn't like the look of it,but it's grown on me and I think it's a nice looking bike.
Thanks James . Yes I like the looks
Of this especially this colour
Cheers mark
Excellent review Mark I watched your reviews for 4 hours today I need to go to a darkened room now lol 😂
Wow thanks David ...that's an epic watch ☺️
You are very good at what you do Mark all your reviews are interesting 🤨
Thanks Mark... great coverage.
Personally, I think they need to update this to reflect the improvements on the new Hunter.
Tubeless tires, center stand, and black exhaust world likely help their sales of this model.
Still, based upon the weight of this bike, it looks to be less power to weight ratio than the Hunter. They need to tune this up closer to 35 hp.
Gord
Nice review, beautiful video too! Probably my next bike, all the best from Crete Greece!
Best wishes Nikos thanks 👍
Lovely review as always - I'm looking forward to some Spring weather soon for you!! I do like Royal Enfield. Lovely straightforward bikes.
cant believe we own the same bikes.... i've a 790 duke..... had it 5 years 14k miles one of the first in the country. it's a keeper, fantastic bike.... just got a hntr 350 rebel blue.... love them both..... tip for the 790, send ecu to j33 for a remap..... all low speed throttle probs will disappear.....sorry to go off piste on comments..... looking forward to your hntr 1000 mile review.
Haha omg I've just done the j33 ECU send off to j33 it's amazing cheers mark
Mmmmmmm for an Enfield it don't look too bad , make a great commuter for buzzing to work and back .
Cheers Mark great in depth review ,yours is one of the best i think.
Many thanks Gaz ...yes really enjoyed this Enfield:)
Lovely looking bike in this color however not too sure about the garish blue highlights. Acceptable performance if this is what your after and very well priced. Sounds like you enjoyed the Scram Mark, as always excellent review Thanks.
Many thanks Les ....yes it rides really well ...a good solid bike cheers mark
Hi Mark any possibility of reviewing Moto Morini XCape 650 seems a very much overlooked bike . 👍
Good review, thanks. I was thinking about a Scram last year until the Hunter appeared ...... no contest :) I've had my Hunter (Rebel Red) just over a week now and coming up for it's 300 mile service. Looking forward to your next Hunter review .... so I can compare notes :)
Yes not too long now for my 1000 mile hunter review
Best wishes mark
Its a great looking bike , much brtter than the himalayin . 2 things I'd replace right away , the tires. Get a good set of dual sport tires like Bridgestone or Dunlop. Second is the foot pegs , they're JUNK. For any dual sport riding get a good set of aftermarket motocross pegs , the wide spiked or cleated kind. Your feet will be much safer with them. Royal Enfield R&D department take note. The rest of the bike looks OK.
Hi Mark, another great review. What gloves are you wearing in this video ? They didn’t look to bulky for winter gloves !
Hi Michael they are by endura ...very warm and windproof:)
Im selling my rather tired 2005 CBF250 and not sure which RE to get. Hunter or the Scram 411.Either way it will be my all year round commute and found your opinion and review of these very helpful, thank you.
Great informative review as usual. Thanks Mark.👍
Hi Mark great review, you did ride the Frantic caballero some time back, in your mind which is better as a first bike ?
Hi Paul I'd go for the scram it's more comfortable for day to day use or even the hunter or interceptor
Cheers mark
Another great review mark it looks better option than the hunter I test drove one seems very like my bennellli but looks more comfy 😊
Many thanks Ann for the comment....yes the scram is a great bike .... royal Enfield are producing great bikes at the moment:)
Detailed and really good review, like your presentation
Great review Mark. I find it very useful that you compared it to the Hunter 350. How much faster and stronger it feels in comparison with the Hunter?
Hi surprisingly its not really any faster they both do 75 ish
The scram has a bit more pull and torque but they are actually well matched
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 Aha, OK then. Thanks a lot.
This has taken over from the Hunter as my favourite RE. A bit heavy for the capacity, perhaps, but good low-down torque. It could do with a rev counter instead of that navigator thing.
Hi Nik ...many thanks 🙂
I would have to argue that the Yamaha XT250 or whatever it's called in your country, Serow? The Yamaha would be a good other choice to compete with this bike. 130 lbs less weight to deal with and much more off road clearance and suspension travel I believe. Also the Yamaha is simple and goes 75mph. Long trips or higher speed comfort would go to the Royal Enfield no doubt. Luggage capacity is probably another plus on the R.E.
Nice bike mark quality thru and thru great vid
I'd have to take that exhaust off and spray it with some high temp matte black. That looks terrible, looks like it's all rusted especially the can. Otherwise, looks good
GREAT review Mark, as Always!
I appreciate that many thanks 👍
Hi Mark, Thank's again for the nice review. I am interested in knowing if the peg position on your Hunter makes your legs/knees a little tired after maybe a couple of hours of driving? I had a BMW R1200R that had pegs somewhat swept back & they made my legs/knees somewhat sore. I will be testing the Hunter when they get to the U.S. market later this fall. Thank's for your time & all of your great videos. Have a beautiful day!! Illinois, USA
Hi Larry no I find the leg position and the general riding position on my hunter very comfortable...even after 2 hours of riding...it's a fabulous little bike and I'm very happy with it
Greetings btw to Illinois...i was in Kentucky 3 months ago visiting my mum ! Best wishes mark
Hi Mark, you seem to really like the scram and yet you bought the Hunter for your own bike! a dilemma which i'm also pondering. wish the scram had the better switch gear and curvier master reservoir but hey ho. have you made the right choice or any second thoughts? cheers
Very thoughtful review; loved it and the bike.
Many thanks Jules 😊
Best wishes mark
I was hoping you would that you comparison to the 350 enfield would be a little more detailed as this is such an asked question. The 350 engine certainly looks nicer than the 411 but riding characteristics, feel and character are only something you can coment on having ridden both. Maybe a comparison review.
Very good review; thank you!!
I had a chance to ride a 2022 Himalayan and a 2023 Scram back to back yesterday. The Scram seemed smoother, is it the revised fuel map? I liked the Himalayan better for wind protection and it suits my style more, so that's for me. But, I'm hoping the map for 2023 is better. Does anyone know if that's true
best looking bike on the market IMO
I have a tw200 and it’s alot like this but lacks that highway power and fuel injection. I need this bike also.
What did they do or not do that caused and otherwise decent stainless steel exhaust to look like it was remanufactured from old school busses?
Hi Mark, thanks for the the nice review. Out of the two which bike would you recommend for long distance travel/motorway use?Referring to RE Hunter 350 or RE Scram 411.
Thanks
Hi Salman...well they are both similar top speed .. hunter 75 mph ish and scram possibly 80 mph max ...I'd say the scram would win for the longer journey...it's just a bit more comfortable and substantial
Best wishes mark
Hi Mark!
Very nice video like usual
RE classic 350 vs RE scram411.. which one would you pick? I love both and it is a hard choice. The area where I live has lots of hills just to make it easier to decide power wise
Thank you 👍🏼
Hi tough Choice... performance wise not a huge amount of difference..I'd personally go for the classic just because I love it's looks but if you need more of a do everything bike the scram is a better bet
Best wishes mark
@@markpulling12 amazing! Yeah I love the look of the classic☺️ Thank you very much for you time and answer!
Did they fix the Frame issues ? Or it's just gonna break like the Himalayan after 30k km?
Looks nice in that colour. I need tubeless tyres and every bike I've had since my 1974 Honda CB250 has had a rev counter, I'd miss that. Maybe you will give the new Interceptor a look. Cheers.
Many thanks will do 😊
Good review, nice bike, alot for the money
Great review Mark, I have heard that the Hunter is very much smoother than the Scram. Is that your experience please? There is also the rumour that the 411 engine will be replaced by a new 450cc. Have you heard this and if true, what would it do the the residual value of a scram?
Hi Arthur...the hunter engine is a gem yes it is a bit smoother than a scram ...it also sounds less agricultural shall we say
I think a scram would loose £2 k over a few years
Best wishes mark
I’ve read that the front brake is not that good, a bit too soft apparently
I am waiting for the Sod Off 650.
Great review as🙏 always, scam looks a great bike...royal Enfield really do offer a great stable, I'm currently saving for the hunter 😁, still, how does the 'tripper navigation' preform? And Mark those gloves 🧤 look super comfortable and tactile 😃... thanks again Martine 💚
Hi Martine the tripper is basic but gives turn by turn navigation it works really well....and yes my gloves 🧤 are very warm made by endura
Hope you're well :)
@@markpulling12 yes had a wedding near reading at the weekend, I'll be glad when the weather warms up 😁 as we all will I suppose 😜 x
@@martinehulme8743 omg can't wait for the warmer weather...bet your looking forward to your hunter x
@@markpulling12 I am so much, I don't want to do finance though, so saving pound notes, as I still have 12 months to pay on my tracer, which is an amazing bike 😁 X
I’d consider buying the little 350 Enfield Hunter; lively street single, great looks and perfect for a day out on two wheels. This, on the other hand, is simply to ugly to be able to consider. Don’t really think it offers anything much more for the extra dough over the Hunter; I guess you would know?
Hi Nigel I have a hunter 350 and apart from bigger size and a bit of off road ability on the scram ...I'd choose the hunter ...it's just such a lovely little bike to ride
Best wishes mark
I really prefer the Himalayan's superior instrumentation but this bike doesn't have the same starting issues that bike has. I am not sure why they fixed it with the Scram but not the Himalayan when they are the same bike.
Dear Mark
Hello again
Thank you for All your helpful videos
It is an Auspicious week here for me
I am about to purchase a
2023 Triumph Tiger Sport 850
This is after saving up for 4 years
Riding a bicycle
I am 6 ft 1 in and have a evenly distributed body weight of 225lbs
I will be using this primarily at slow speeds around town
And longer trips in the future
I am not a racer
I wanted something that fits me i have tried many bikes
Even though i am 6ft 1
My arms are a 73 and half reach and
My inseam is 36in
I would love to know your thoughts on this
Motorcycle
I wish all Happiness to You
Take Care my Friend
Hi yes I would recommend the tiger 850 ...as you are tall and with a 36 " inseam the taller adventure style bike would definitely suit you
Triumph bikes have great reliable engines ...I think you are going to really enjoy it
Best wishes mark
Thank you so much Mark
Take care my friend
All Happiness to you
Thank you for answering so fast.
Smooth operating bike
Hi Mark,
I found the Hunters rear suspension far too hard, in fact it spoiled the bike.
Is the Scram 411’s better?
Hi I'd say yes ...it's built for a little bit of light tracks and trails...it's mono shock is a bit more supple than the firm twin shocks of the hunter
Best wishes mark
Great review, thank you! However, would it be possible to change the formula of your tests a bit especially when you have the bikes for a couple of weeks that you take them on a full day rides or even, when possible, a longer tour? I say this as it would give more insight into a machine’s capability’s. It’s great you test them all over the same route, as that creates a standard, but occasionally taking one (such as the scram) out over a longer route and filming it or even when possible a multi day ride would add a lot to your reviews and insight into the bikes. Is this a lot to ask, maybe yes and certainly not always possible, but a route across the Purbecks, Portland and further on filmed etc. may enhance things. Thank you again for your reviews. 👍
Yes hi Graham many thanks... when I have a bike for 2 weeks...I do about 300 miles on them ...weather permitting...and then give my views in the review but I tend to film on my general routes because I know them ...when I ride further afield it's nice just to ride the bike and get a feel for it rather than filming....then I film on my route and give my thoughts if you catch my drift....the super meteor was filmed in Weymouth area though for a change
But thanks for your feedback....it's always heeded and appreciated
Best regards mark
@@markpulling12 - Thanks for the reply and background Mark, much appreciated. I guess my comment was more aimed at adding a different dimension to the excellent and successful formula you have, e.g. new sights and insights etc. Very much enjoy your reviews and the bikes you test. 👍
@@grahamcrighton8113 many thanks Graham ;)
Something u haven’t mentioned mark is that everyone I know who has bought one of these say the dealers are fab. Don’t know myself but it’s an important option for some. Also diy on these is a cinch as well as too frequent valve adjustments
Yes I know a few dealers who sell these and they are all great 👍

@@volt8684 oh yes definitely they are great but I've got a hunter 350 so I'll be sticking with that for a long time

Absolute bargain, probably don't need much more power in real driving conditions.
Any chance of a review of the WK MXI 125cc Scooter, Mark ?
Hi Brad I'll look into that wk scooter
Cheers mark
Hi Mark
Comparing the Scram and the Hntr what is millage out of the Hntr please. As looking at both for a new year bike, we'll when I pass my test at 65.
Hi mark they are both good on fuel ... you'll get about 90 mpg from the hunter and 75 mpg from the scram..
Best regards mark
@@markpulling12
Thank you Mark
Some of the welds look like they were done with a straightened coat hanger. For example at 3:46 . I have seen other enfiields with the same issue. Am I being unreasonable expecting better workmanship than that?
No not at all ...I think Enfield should address this and get a neater welder lol 😆 but strangely my hunter has quite neat welds cheers mark
Hi Mark, great review 👍 Roughly what size/weight was your passenger? and how did it affect performance and handling?
Hi Gary about 80 kg 5 ft 8
I couldn't hardly notice them at all
So all good 👍
Great thanks for that 👍
Nice bike
Many thanks Tom :)
What are your thoughts about 2 scrams -from 2022and from 2023. You tested one in 2022. Big difference?
Hi no they are both the same :)
Is that a bung that’s dropped off the swing arm pivot on the left?
Yes well spotted or it wasn't put in the first place cheers mark
How do they manage to get a 400 thumper that heavy?
Royal Enfield aren't renowned for their lightweight alloys and plastics lol 😂
Think of it as a two wheel Land Rover. Not quick, heavy but built like a tank and it will get you there wherever there is!
Aren´t those high hedges dangerous? you don't see the traffic coming ahead
I cant imagine it feels any more sprightly than the Htr 350? The fact you bought the 350 is interesting, or was that just a price issue?
Price yes and the hunter engine is much nicer 😁
I tried to ride this booked that bike for a test ride. But, height is not for me. I'm 5'6 hard to tiptoe around on a heavier bike as well. Ended up riding the Hunter 350. And that is better for my height. So waiting for Honda CL500 for scrambler type bike.
Many thanks....yes the Hunter 350 is a fabulous bike ...I have one
Best wishes mark
Have you bought this bike, second RE? Waiting for CF Moto 700 heritage or 800 MT
Haha no it's on loan ....just got my hunter 350 :)
How’s the reliability on Royal Enfields? I’ve read that they leak oil after awhile. I like the looks and sound but shy away from them because of what I’ve read.
Hi Mike I've had a lot to do with the newer Enfields over the past few years..and what you say maybe true of the old models ...but I've seen and heard nothing but positive reviews from happy customers who have interceptors , Himalayan etc etc
Generally they are good solid machines
Best wishes mark
Thanks Mark for your reply. I’m glad to hear you attest to that because I don’t see anyone talking about long term. I do like their looks and the price is reasonable. Great review as always. Thanks!
I’ve had a Bullet 500efi and Himalayan and no problems with either. The 411 engine is a cracker, reliable and easy to maintain plus you get 3 years warranty which is 1 year more than Honda give you. I’m a member of the Facebook Himalayan owners group and a lot of people put these bikes through some very heavy off roading and travel.
Nice review, just noticed the frame bungs are missing from the swingarm pivot points on both sides?
Wonder what's happening to them?
Hi sorry no idea ...maybe they didn't get put in ?
Best wishes mark
I’ve read elsewhere comments from owners that they have a habit of falling out. Annoying but inexpensive to replace.
@@captainpugwash788 ah right, I'd be applying a bit of silicone sealer to the replacements in that case.

people review these bikes before they are properly run and bedded in.... long stroke old fashioned single cyl engine in a modern package to go explore the backroads on... not a speed machine but we knew that already

@@theolneyrider yes got quite a few reviews planned but the weather has been so rubbish I'm not doing much until it vastly improves:) cheers Luke
No problem at all then! 😅
So, in comparison to the Himalayan, the Scram would be more adaptable to urban environments, whereas the Himalayan is more suitable for off-road riding
The Himalayan is also excellent in town, so impressed after a year, I just bought another RE, Meteor 350. I think you choose the Scram for it's styling. Keep it simple and fun seems to be the DNA from RE.
Do you still ride the Hunter?
Hi no sold it a while ago...just to get something different....but great bike though
Cheers mark
@@markpulling12 Nice one, wish Yamaha still made XT 350s. Bought one off a chap who drove it all the way to Cadnam from Portsmouth then handed the money over and went back home to the New Forest on it. Great bike back in the day. Cheers for reply👍
