Keith, what?? This is a bike made in India, a country that dump pollution with zero cares for the planet. USA regulations on air and water pollution are light years ahead of India. Also as an American consumer I understand that Harley out sources parts, lame but true. RI is all made in heavy pollution countries exclusively. And talk about how we should think about spending our money. I have a daughter and a wife, India treats women like dogs. A country that could learn that with no women you have no Gandhi. Harley is a founding member of the Hunger Task Force by the way. Simply look up Harley Davidson philanthropy and you can find out what they've done. I hope this help you make better decisions that you will be proud of in the future. Keep tying to do the best you can, I believe you have proper intentions, just use the internet to grow your knowledge. Just because a company puts out press on how great they are, doesn't make them great, it just means they are trying to trick you to buy the propaganda.

I think owning a RE in west is not as beneficial as owning it in india because here in India there are hundreds of service centre for RE are available in any part of india and they are dedicated service centre only for RE which provides all kind of maintenance related services for all RE bike's. N these services centre's are run by the dealerships but they are in tie up with RE to provide first 3 service for free. And free means there is no labour charges for maintenance but you still have to pay for any part or oil change. And right now there is also a new kind of service in which personel from nearby RE service centre will come to you home to perform regular maintenance mentioned in the RE service manual in pretty reasonable price. You just have to book an appointment with them n they will come to ur house do the regular maintenance and go back. You don't have to do anything just sit n relax. I don't think all these services are provided in the west by RE that's why maintaining them there is quite a hassle. Also modification of RE's in india is very common. We may not have dedicated manufacturing units for specific mods but we do like to modify them a lot. Most of the mods are Chinese but they work so 🤷🏻♂️

Indian two wheeler market is extremely economy driven with 100cc bikes & scooters selling in millions per year. Which cost like 1000$ at max. Even Yamaha, Honda & Suzuki sell 100cc bikes and scooters in bulk here. RE is actually able to beat many of those 100cc bikes here in terms of sales while costing 3 times as much. To crack such a market is a big thing.

Hi YN. As a returning rider at 65, after 20 year hiatus, I started watching YN, (Wow!) only last spring, although, now must've watched all your video's? Re-started small, 390 Duke, moved on to (6 weeks), 790 Duke and, after having too much time on my hands during winter and researching ("net surfing") avidly. I found that I had ordered a new MT 09 SP (When're you going to ride one? Or have you missed the boat for now?) for March, actually arrived mid July. Generally riding 250/300 ml, twice a week. I find your video's both informative and entertaining. Thank you. Got to say though, unbelievable U turn on the HD and RE (Mechanical Dinosaurs, no offence meant?) Is this for more accessible content or a genuine appreciation? Keep producing and I'll keep watching. Thanks, again. UK 👍

In any case, don't let maintenance deter you from buying an RE 650, I really enjoyed my test ride on it, the engine is a peach.

For a classic looking bike that is well behaved and doesn't shake like a Harley, get a Honda Shadow. They've got a few different looks and all look infinitely better than the Enfield. 50 ish hp and torque is more than enough for a beginner rider and they're comfortable enough for more experienced and bigger riders. The Shadow looks like a small soft tail and with a couple mods can sound beefy too. Keep up the good work yam fam.

You're welcome to your opinion on it. However, the only reason I would get a faired bike at this point is to sticker bomb it. The old-school appearance that RE offers is what initially caught my eye for the brand, and if the dealer had been able to get the color I wanted quickly enough, I wouldn't own a Triumph right now. That said, finally got a GT, and it's been getting more miles and more smiles than the Triumph. Triumph is the better long-haul bike right now, but as soon as I move somewhere with an RE dealership, it's getting traded in.
