From a very happy RE owner: Thank you!!! I love seeing my bikes primordial ancestry 👍👍👍👍 side note: David’s knowledge makes him such a good interviewer. He asks all the questions I didn’t know i had to know the answers to

[@sajinksaji3202]

This is exactly how they sound even today .the longest production exhaust note I guess🤣 dug dug since 1901

[@robleary3353]

Love it!. Fantastic piece of 'new' history. Nice that the Olde World skills are still around to create such an authentic replica.

[@wilmawife]

What an achievement, absolutely beautiful bike.

[@Lanes-Explorer5733]

Great to see it and Gordon. Fantastic project.

[@MrJulianneave]

Interesting video guys, and the bloke from RE seemed really enthusiastic about it. Glad to see them taking on projects just for fun.

[@tonycamplin8607]

A great example of old skills still surviving with the tanks. So basic and simple although to someone less ancient than me those controls may look complicated they aren't they're just logical and straight forward.

[@moecopiak9168]

Absolutely brilliant piece of work! A ways back in the late 1960’s I had a 750 Interceptor and I can confirm that Royal Enfield never solved the cold start problem. I sold the bike in 1970, we used the money ($975.00 Canadian) to put a down payment on our first house !!

[@g2bullet]

Excellent craftsmanship, Legend Reborn !

[@paullacey2999]

Well Done RE for doing this!Their bikes today are really impressive too👍

[@Jayaramnamburi]

This Gordon man always makes me happy with his impeccable work on RE

[@rickykahlon8321]

This is awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@ruahinesrider]

Marvelous 👍

[@renzoantonio2387]

Royal Enfield shoul design a bike just like that one. Maybe with current technology.
I strongly belief that it would be a hit in sales!

[@441rider]

RE is like reverse colinization LOL! Hats off to the diehard Indian motorcycle peeps for making them cheaper and better in ways. The new BSA should be nicer than the SR Regal bike project. Look to China to start making knuckleheads in 40's style next.

[@canastasiou68]

Beautiful, do you know how many hp it has ?

[@kyakaruvlogs2784]

Soooooper ❤️

[@VinayKumar-db4qz]

This seems more complicated than rocket science.

[@jamesonpace726]

So complicated, like flying a WWI fighter, so hard, (head explodes)...!

[@RahulPatil-yg7vy]

Thank you so much Dave I have wanted to know about the Project Origin since I first laid my eyes on it 🫡
