    RE understands cool factor and riding, and that riding a 100+ hp bike at $20k+ prices no longer gives one bragging rights. More like the opposite.

      Totally agree. When I see a Ewan McGregor wannabe with waaay more money than sense just riding to work I think "knob".

    I'm generally a sports and performance and horsepower junkie.
    And at middle age, I absolutely love the looks and specs on this Bear 650.
    I keep wondering what a motorcycle company could do if they brought out the best motorcycle they could possibly bring out, BUT avoiding the two most worn-out trends: increase tech amenities, increase horsepower. If it's not about tech and it's not about horsepower (a shocking mindset for most of the motorcycle media to possess), then what would it be? I think it would be this machine.

    I bought a new Int 650 and turned it into a cool Scramble. But it doesn’t have the 19” front wheel and longer suspension of the Bear. Now in thinking of selling the Int at a loss so I can get the Bear. I’d go for the one with the green frame.

    Having had an Int650 and absolutely LOVED it, this is bound to be a success. Something like 'Not really an adventure bike', you said in the opening minute. No, not in the modern definition. However, remember this one is not far off the look and style of the original R80GS boxer that started it all. And that RE engine is a gem of smoothness with a great gearbox that reminds me of the old aircooled boxers.

    Extremely sweeter way to put across all good & short coming of the bike.
    Really easy to understand what Bear 650 gives over the INT 650. THANK YOU.

    I liked the INT650 but was waiting for the Scrambler650--im glad i waited..i like the rear grab rail easy removal and the ability to bolt on racks. U could see chilled out travel on this bike. Black/grey or Green? The White looks good too-very nicely done RE

    Been waiting on the classic 650 but…. This just looks right. Very nice.

    50 ish HP is enough for the road and best part is you can push it to the limit which is fun. Nobody can or should push a 100+ hp bike on the road.

      The Vmax was a hoot! Video production has come a long way since 2009! ua-cam.com/video/_GV_uwEAKn0/v-deo.htmlsi=QeUxc4pC38EZ8dNc

    If the bike has the same peak hp and a higher peak torque, then it makes more power. Torque is a component of power. Power is made across the rev range. If there's more power in the middle, but the same up top as another bike, then it is more powerful across the rev range.

    Love it. Just wish they had differentiated the gas tank a little more from the INT650.

    I will buy this if they give tubeless. I am not pushing a 200+ kg bike through gravel and dirt if I get a tyre puncture.

    What would you pick?
    Bear 650 vs. Triumph scrambler 400x?

    • @BIBuildy

      The Bear looks and sounds sweet, but it's about 80 pounds heavier than my 400x, so I won't be trading anytime soon. Between the Bear 650 and the INT650, I'd go with the Bear for sure.

    This bike looks a whole lot like the original BMW GS from the 80's.

    Can you fit a main stand or do you need to remove the catalytic converter?

      Optional I would think. But yes, annoying

    This bike has dog shit colour options
    Too bad for a bike this expensive to offer such an aweful array of colours to choose from
