Yep, you'll like those Enfields. Had a 2021 Himalayan, sold when I bought the Nevada. Not one fault with the bike. Couldn't justify three bikes. Paul

Hoping you will take the time to write up a comparison of the two bikes.  Anywhere where one outshines the other?

Re: royal enfield fever comparison

not a lot of difference.    himalayan 21 inch front wheel  scram has 19 on front wheel  scram has more power as I put a slip-on exhaust and DNA air intake
it feels stronger and I am observing brake in per owners manual.  the scram steers quicker with a smaller wheel diameter.
I suppose the Himalayan is better off road. when I'm home in north georgia there are forest service roads nearby that I occasionally
I'M 73 I have to be careful off road. cell phone don't always work as there are no cell towers in the national forest

Don't want to get into that situation again Joe. Breva 750 is a nice bike if you want more power than RE's. I liked the Husky you had but seat was tall.

I reckon Itchy basically did a bit of a Ewan and Charley for Royal Enfield. I liked her on that little thing, she somehow looked…..”Braver”.. :popcorn:

Explain please.  I didn't know Ewan and Charley did anything for Royal Enfield.  I know they wanted KTMs during the first round the world documentary.

I think the other manufacturers are a bit perplexed at R.E.'s success selling small bikes.  :wink:

All these bikes are toys for us grownups. Let’s be honest.  18-40k for a new motorcycle is insane. It’s like 100k dollar SUV’s we sell at work.  Nuts. 5000.00 for a brand new bike you can have a ball with and has cheap add ons…. I’m in

I bought my 1985 Honda Shadow 700 in the spring of 1986 for $2500.  That was a middle of the road bike at the time. That would be about $7000 today. What middleweight bikes can be bought for $7000?  A leftover V7 Stone.  The new super meteor?  An MT-07 is $8k.

Got my Himalayan! Bought and paid for. Pick it up Saturday. Going to need a seat for sure. Way to soft.  I think I’m going to spend the extra dough and get a Corbin. Can’t tell the mrs! 620.00+ yikes!

I can see where a Tachometer and a luggage rack would be worth an extra $200. !  :thumb:

LOL. I'd join that!
I have a 2021 650 GT. Almost two years old now. It's been near perfect for me.

yeah, I might be addicted to brake fluid. But I can stop any time I want.
