Congrats mate. You are a breath of fresh air in the world of UA-cam motorcycle vids. A tiny bit about motorbikes and a lot about humour. Well done and keep going. Webbo
Well deserved dude!! 👏 I have the benefit of actually having you as a friend & can confirm that yr kindness and self depreciating humour is 100% genuine .. keep doing you 👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats Willie, very well deserved. What shines through on all your videos is pure integrity. No pretensions, no ego no BS. And that’s what we need more of in this world. Love the hat too!
Well done mate well deserved accolade, happy new year, haven’t had Wi-Fi since Xmas day so good news for my first vid since getting it sorted, you winning something 😂 by the way bad hat man 🤣. … Pete 🇫🇷
Congratulations Big Willie! Fantastic humble acceptance. I was in and out listening to your stuff and only just realised I wasn’t subscribed. That’s on me. *I’m now officially a Big Willie **-lover-** follower.*
Congratulations Willie! That’s exactly it, tuning in to your channel is like hanging out with a buddy. You know, I’ve never watched an entire Itchy Boots video. I know, sacrilege! 😂 I like the new Himalayan, it would be a do it all bike, for the most part. Not serious motocross, nor high speed mile munching but everything else. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned but another UA-camr here in the states does a lot of Re content, The Fuzzy Biker at Forgotten Motorcycles is planning a trip to Alaska. I happened to be planning to ride to Alaska this year as well. We’re going to meet and ride to Alaska, possibly with a few more riders. It’s going to be so much fun! I wish you and Mr TAYM could come. Anyway, he has a new and older Himalayan and one of the new Bear 650’s, but I think he is going to ride the 452 Himalayan (as he calls his) and I’m taking the T7. I agree that RE needs to step up the engine size for the markets outside of India and Asia. 750-900cc would take care of most applications. Congratulations again! Have an awesome 2025! Happy 2025 buddy!
Wow well done, I obviously missed this likely due to the Xmas excess etc. 🍻Good point regarding the RE 650 motor, it would be great to see a larger capacity variant perhaps a 750 with more power. I’m sure there is a market for them beyond 47 hp…..👍
Congratulations 🎊 well deserved. Love that hat, you need a Lambretta to go with it now oh hang on could it be another project along side the RE 500.....maybe a bridge to far 😊. All the very best 👌
Congratulations Willie! A rising star, that's for sure. Things are definitely on the up! Can't wait to see your Classic 500. It looks lovely. Hopefully it won't be a vibrator... Some of them can be you know 🤩
Thanks Trev! 👍 Yes I've heard some of them are vibey.. Not sure why it's only some of them though? I've heard people saying the more miles you put on them the less vibey they become 🤔
They have generally got as smooth as they are ever going to get by about 2000 miles. Some are incredibly smooth for a big single with no balancer shaft, while others can be pretty rough. It mostly comes down to how well the crankshaft was balanced in the factory.
Congratulations! I missed the vote too. Well deserved result. 😊 I have a Himalayan and a Transalp. Don't like the looks of the 450, so not trying it. Need to see all the other new ones in the flesh. I would really like RE to make a new engine rather than rely on different versions of the Interceptor. Looking forward to your opinions on Classic 500. There's one for sale in my dealership. I think it's beautiful!
Well deserved mate !!! Outstanding 👏👌👍. Love the hat !!! 😁😆😅🤣. I wonder if Mr TAYM will do a live presentation with a certificate and a massive golden Willie trophy 🏆 🤔 😀. That'd be awesome 👌. I could only begin to imagine how your speech would go 😆.
Hats off to you Willie, metaphorically and now in the real world with that fine hat, well deserved, love the simplicity of your channel, re Enfield you need to remember that although we consider that they bring many of their bikes into Europe, the market here is tiny, maybe just a few percent compared to the home Indian market and that all these bikes are potential huge sellers in a country of 1.2 billion people that are becoming more affluent and where there is 70% import tax on all foreign bikes, so having a wider choice just widens the appeal in their primary market
Yes! A major award...we need to take up a colection and send you a "Christmas Story" leg lamp (full sized one) for your garage :) Seriously, well deserved and your Rob (and Wayne) stories plus your unscripted garage rambling is just what we need!!
You deserve it mate well done remember in a world of people trying to be something they are not finding authentic real folk is a treasure thanks so much for your efforts and well done mate you got my vote 👍
As for the 650 , it sells really well , would they sell enough higher cc bikes for the developement costs , and it can be ridden on a A2 license , enfield have grown so fast they know what they are doing , i've said this many times they should have brought out a 500cc classic about 28 bhp for the european market
Well done and well deserved on the TAYM award 👍 Personally I think Royal Enfield are losing their way a bit. There whole USP was affordable, classic, no frills bikes but the now seem to be trying to move more mainstrean like the 650 bear which looks good but why put a tft screen instead of analogue clocks? The 650 classic why not put a big bore single in it rather than making it a twin? I don't know, I guess we look at it with the eyes of the UK market and the reality is we are not important. If they keep selling in India then why would they care what we want?
Congratulaions, Willie! Well done! Yes - I do believe in ghosts. Heard one as a kid (poltergiest), saw one - or a shadow appeared in front of me on a country road near a hotel I was staying at one evening years ago... I am looking forward to seeing the Classic 500 and what you decide to do with it. Best wishes!
Well done, Will. I know one place Enfields are going. Orwells in Ipswich have just announced the franchise for Enfields . That will be your closest dealers to have a bog at the models. Had a bottle and half of brandy with my gym buddy on boxing day . Never again, I'm too old now for a two day hang over😎
Thanks so much Lee! 🙏 Yes I heard that RE were going into Orwells, definitely going to take a trip down there.. Mate id be comatosed after HALF a bottle of brandy!!!! 🍾🍻🍾
Have come around for a cup of coffee, mate. I'm only a mile from there. Don't forget to bring your other half. You can film me falling down my garage pit😂
The thing to remember when trying to predict where Royal Enfield will go next is that 90% of their bikes are sold in India, so new models also have to make sense there.
Congratulations to the winner - This was a well publicized campaign and I received my BALLOT HERE IN FLORIDA so being the winner show that you have been recognized in the far reaches of the world - who knew you would gain popularity in such a short time NEXT UP Big willie for PM onward and upwards 😮😮😮 - keep it up you have fans out here And as always regards from Florida 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩
Well deserved Willie, congratulations at the No1 spot! Best wishes and a happy new year, can’t wait to see the the new Enfield take shape. re the new Enfield spy shots, I don’t reckon that’s the 650 engine, looks different, sadly I counted the fins on the barrel and that was 7 whereas the 650 has 6 I think?
Well done mate. I'm thinking royal enfield haven't brought out a 900 or 1000cc yet as maybe the little Indian chappies wouldn't be able to manage the size. Who knows.? I hope they do make bigger bikes as I would be first in the que.👍
Well deserved Willie, us CSE failures should stick together. I’ll reserve judgement on the hat though 😂😂😂 you are correct the Bingley Wheeler is head and shoulders above Fillingham
Congratulations! I imagine RE are offering as many options as possible for the people who want a simple 650 twin that you can maintain at home and with enough power for most situations before expanding on the more complicated water cooled/shim adjustment engines of their range.
Sincere congratulations! That’s a quality win. With regard to Royal Enfield: economies of scale notwithstanding , it’s a bit like Mr. Potato Head, isn’t it. You can put anything you like on a spud, anywhere you like it, but it’ll still be a spud. Love that hat. You should stick a feather in it, champ!
congratulations , ;;;; i think your channel is happy go lucky ;; whilst most channels have a set subject = i,e, a test of a bike or gear or route , strong opinion , = this leaves them for people to like or dislike to a verdict on the subject , ,, nothing wrong with that ,, but the vlogger has to take it on the chin as they have made a statement , i notice viewers have a go at you when you state something , but less so when you have a bit of fun or a graveyard shift ;; ha ha ,;;
Royal Enfield, for some reason, is trying hard to stay under the A2 license barrier. They know that large motorcycles is not an area they can dominate on a volume basis.
@@2wheeledwillie395 Well. They don't need to do anything if they are happy with their current niche in market but I agree that the 650 engine, as good as it is, is being used in too many different models and it may not suit the character of some models. They need a low rpm high torque engine for their cruisers if they are to truly feel like a cruiser. Kind of like the Kawasaki 650 Vulcan S cruiser that does not have a cruiser engine. It's a detuned Ninja engine and not suitable for a cruiser in my mind. Cheers
Just keep on doing you willie. It's such a breath of fresh air in this world of fakery and bullshit. Have a good year and keep up the good work. #keepitreal
A RE 750cc is coming atleast 55hp 65Nm Bike Mag from India Bikewale said.Classic 650 only just released so a 750 won't be out till end of year atleast to cash in on Classic650. RE should bring out a 850-900 maybe a twin like that KX 838cc Vtwin prototype they did before Euro 5 days.RE use to make Vtwins upto 1140cc & in 2018 had that modern KX protype.A Vtwin would be awesome.
Watched TAYM this morning and heard the results, wont embarass you with how i voted but 3 of my pics were in the top 4. Im such a genius, well deserved mate, keep up the good work. By the way i certainly didnt vote for No. 9
I watched the Mindful Motorcyclist video this morning.....So, I checked the weight of my old Speedmaster (263 kg) which I got rid of for being too heavy for me, at 70 years old (now 73)....and the 650 RE's are approaching 250kg, and if they are aimed at an older market, they're doing something wrong, IMO......
Well that's as far as the Brit's made it 350/500 singles ,650/750 twins they are a copy after all ,perhaps it's game over now that electrification is here and all ??? and the fact that the Brits cannot do engineering anymore at a reasonable price ?
Maybe they'll do a twin version of the Guerrilla. Perhaps with a decent size fuel tank, like the new Himalayan has. There have been rumours of a 450 Hunter as well. That will satisfy those who like the retro looks of the Hunter, Meteor et al but want a bit more power. Have you seen IB's latest? Her bike got stolen in Iraq and then sabotaged. I couldn't help but notice that as soon as she crossed the border from Türkiye into the Kurdish part of Iraq, men were telling her that no woman in their society would travel alone. I wonder if there's any connection; it's a notorious hot-spot for honour killings.
As long as Royal Enfield doesn't go the way other motorcycle companies have gone I'm ok with it. I believe their new claim to fame is based on affordable good riding motorcycles like my scram or the 350's with a sprinkling of 650's for those that really feel they need more horsepower. I agree with this video for the most part.
I think Royal Enfield is making the Harley Davidson mistake where each new edition or variation is presented as an all new motorcycle. BTW: Congratulations!
Hello there congratulations: I'm hopeful R.E does the 750cc they were teasing on tube : I know they do big bore kits for the 650s one in a 750 and one in I believe an 865. 47 break is great for one up really love the engine but again love it more one up compared to the t100.
@2wheeledwillie395 No worries, I'm happy for you for being on top of Itchy Boots 😂. If you like her videos you should give Una Moto a look, he's riding from the North of Alaska to the south top of New Zealand. Another great channel is The Wandering Honda, these guys videos are excellent and they're a great couple. Have a great New Year, I'm looking forward to the 500 arriving.
RE make lovely bikes, but the 650 twin engine is ugly to my eyes. Kind of squat and out of keeping with the bikes. Could just be me. The Classic 650 and Super Meteor in particular warrant something bigger than a 650.
Congrats mate. You are a breath of fresh air in the world of UA-cam motorcycle vids. A tiny bit about motorbikes and a lot about humour. Well done and keep going. Webbo

Haha! Thanks Sandy! 🙏
As much as she did for The Himalayan 411 sales I dont think Itchy boots got much of Royal Enfield other than the 450 to try out in India.
Congratulations to you your posts are always entertaining 👍🏼🏍️
Thanks Pete! 👍🙏
Well done, cleaver you.
And we can read the garage wall 😂
Haha! Thanks Tony!
That first Filingham comment 😂 nicely put! Well done and hope 2025 brings you even more success!
😂😂Thanks buddy 👍
The Royal Enfield’s are too heavy for Noraly.
RE's home market is key to them. I'm not sure whether a bike larger than 650cc would be in much demand there?
That's a really good point Jim! 👍👍👍
“Sit in my garage and talk s-t”!? Well, ‘ell, there’s hope for me yet!!
I love my regular sessions with Willie! Uhm…….er…never mind 😑
😂😂😂😂 Thanks Tim!!
Well done and well deserved on the TAYM award 👍 Personally I think Royal Enfield are losing their way a bit.

I couldn't help but notice that as soon as she crossed the border from Türkiye into the Kurdish part of Iraq, men were telling her that no woman in their society would travel alone. I wonder if there's any connection; it's a notorious hot-spot for honour killings.
Yes I saw IB video with the attempted theft of her bike! 😱
Wouldn't be a bit surprised if they came out with a budget 125cc some time this year - that's a big market.
Yes a RE 125 would be amazing!!
As long as Royal Enfield doesn't go the way other motorcycle companies have gone I'm ok with it. I believe their new claim to fame is based on affordable good riding motorcycles like my scram or the 350's with a sprinkling of 650's for those that really feel they need more horsepower. I agree with this video for the most part.
Thanks for the comment 👍
I like the hat.
Thanks Nick 😀
Well you know how it goes willie, and this is in response about what you said about your school exams, everyone votes for the challenged . 😂😂
😂😂😂😂 I'm care in the community!!
Well done mate and all the best for 2025
Thanks James! 👍
Getting just CSE's from school certainly didn't hold you back. Touring the world with Fleetwood Mac is some achievement. And now this ....
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I think Royal Enfield is making the Harley Davidson mistake where each new edition or variation is presented as an all new motorcycle.
BTW: Congratulations!
Yes I think you could be right buddy... And thank you!
Hello there congratulations: I'm hopeful R.E does the 750cc they were teasing on tube : I know they do big bore kits for the 650s one in a 750 and one in I believe an 865. 47 break is great for one up really love the engine but again love it more one up compared to the t100.
Isn't it third parties like Hitchcock's that do the upgrade kits?
@IndigoJo idk I think the one shop is an aussie one bud utube has them on search big bore and they should come up.
Thanks Jay.. Yes a 750 would be amazing 👍
Is the 10 quid in the post?
Actually it's going to have to be "payment in kind" hope that's okay Dave? 😂
@2wheeledwillie395 No worries, I'm happy for you for being on top of Itchy Boots 😂. If you like her videos you should give Una Moto a look, he's riding from the North of Alaska to the south top of New Zealand. Another great channel is The Wandering Honda, these guys videos are excellent and they're a great couple. Have a great New Year, I'm looking forward to the 500 arriving.
@@davidgriffiths4234cheers mate, I'll check them out for sure 👍
RE make lovely bikes, but the 650 twin engine is ugly to my eyes. Kind of squat and out of keeping with the bikes. Could just be me. The Classic 650 and Super Meteor in particular warrant something bigger than a 650.
Yes a bigger RE engine would be a game changer 👍
Do you know anything about Moto Morini?🤨
Not much but Sean (Mindful motorcyclist) does 👍
Congratulations young man, not many people get awards for Verbal Diarrhoea 😂
😂😂😂😂😂Thanks Philip!!
