    I’ve just passed 30,000kms on mine. It’s my daily commute. I keep it clean and get comments all the time from people wondering how old it is and if I’ve restored it! Sure it’s not fast, but you really know you’re riding a bike with character. Love it! Keep up the great reviews.

      I've rode a few of the 535's and love the feel of the bike. Beautiful machines! Thank you :)

      What is the best time speed to commute with it? I live in Europe and would like to get the 650 however for half of the price I can the 535 but I am not sure performance wise. I got the feeling it is like driving a 125cc … but this is a just feeling from what I read. Can you drive around 120km/h constantly ?

      @@dunno1128 nah dont buy the 535 its very slow and wobbles like death at high speed. if you got an emotional attachment with it then go buy it, but i wouldnt recommend it for daily use or practicality, and the 650 is miles better and so much worth it

    There's something about the shorter wheel base, and the large tank that make it so attractive

    Fuzzy! I bought this bike! You were up there the day I was trying it out. I was torn between this 535 and a new GT650, but it was definitely love at first site with this thing and I am so glad I chose it! I absolutely dig this bike, each day I go ride it I fall in love a little more. Plus it just looks so amazing on its center stand in my garage. Its going to be a long winter :( Keep up the great work and I am sure I will see you again, as RE motorcycles have become my new obsession.

      Great to hear you're liking that bike. That's one of my favorite ones to ride, pure riding Joy. I've got bitten by the Royal Enfield bug bad myself. PS I ride all winter long. WAHOO

    THE best thing about this bike? The frame was designed and refined by the legendary frame designers, HARRIS PERFORMANCE. (Cambridge, England.) Perhaps the engine has only a modest power output, but the chassis was conceived by one of the best in the business.

    Beautiful bike and I was sorely tempted but sadly they didn't make them for long and the 650 twin followed on and stole its thunder.

    I've got one with aftermarket cams valves carb etc. It handles but the suspension is fairly crude. It's overgeared so top speed is nothing special but it holds 80 for tens of miles and is quick to rev

    My gt 535 has this annoying ticking sound from the engine and that ticking gets a little louder when riding....
    Does your bike also have that sound??
    Is that normal??

    • @forgottenmotorcycles
      @forgottenmotorcycles  Рік тому

      Have test drove a few of these bikes and have not noticed the tick. I would take it to a dealer or good motorcycle mechanic and find out what's going on. It may be something simple, you never know. Good luck!
