Ohhh the play of words, the puns and subtle sarcasm.. made this Beary Beary awesome to listen to!

This video takes motor journalism narration to a whole new level. Made me remember of the few good lectures in my class where at the end of it I would just be like “Wow”

I lovedddd the video. I bought a Bear 1 month back and already completed two major trips. The biggest one from West Bengal to Karnataka and i swear the bike was butter smooth but i did visit the local physio after that. The engine is flawless and can sit happily at 105 all day without slightest of hesitation and will overtake cars, bikes, planes, trains at the twist of throttle and the position is really nice and commanding and it is definitely a head turner but the suspension, that is as comfortable as a park bench especially the kickbacks at any junction or bad roads made it so so painful that i dreaded bad patches more than i was dreading night rides with that joker of an headlight. But my heart really wants me to work on the Bear and make it work kinda like a broken relationship- with enough time and care and some therapy it will be lovely. As usual, Shumi i love you and the team. ❤

I love how he politely crushes the bike's dreams

Royal Enfield is becoming that kid who did all his schooling and degrees in India, and then went to America and came back with an accent and forgot their roots.

I want a Bear 650 in my life so much !!! White Bear 650, Brown leather jacket, matt black full face helmet with brass accent and suede. Mid rise riding shoes and pleted trousers !!😅

'No obvious answer' with the NO highlighted on a bigger font lol, great video as always!

wow, what a play, this is not a youtube content; this is an art, this is a show, so beautifully explained 😀

The volume is low.
When I come from other videos to Motorinc I have to raise the volume and when I watch another video after this it's a blast in my ears.

This is the best Indian automotive journalism. No hint of personal opinionated bias in any reviews. Just pure wisdom!! And this physics professor-like presentation makes it really seal the deal. 🔥

Upcoming trend- '50 Shades of 750cc engine', From Royal Enfield

Hey Shumi, while I hear your point about the stiff suspension, there is an easy fix. I bought a Hunter 350 in 2023. The first few months of riding were just painful enough that two ibuprofens per ride could numb it down. But then I changed the suspension to a pair of aftermarket nitrox suspension (Endurance), costing about Rs. 3000, that did away with 95% of all the tiny to mid-level shocks I was receiving on bumpy roads. The riding has been joyful ever since.

I wish RE would just fix it at the design stage instead of expecting the customers to get their hands dirty themselves in the aftermarket. I suppose it's a cost-cutting thing for them, but increasing the price of the bike by a couple of thousand rupees for a better ride quality on nitrox suspensions wouldn't bite into the customer's pockets to deeply. I am sad to hear that Bear made the same mistake, but still, it's an easy fix, and one shouldn't shy away from an otherwise good bike due to the stiffness of the suspension.

The writing on this one is incredible. Such a great reminder of what a good review sounds like!

Video quality man ❤
Especially the audio part, i mean the way you explained and the wordplay is just ❤❤

Brilliant review - best I’ve watched on YT. Thank you.

Good video 👍. We only expect such honesty from you always .

One of the most striking takeaways from the test ride was the motorcycle's surprising agility; it expertly masks its 218 kg kerb weight. The inherent refinement of the parallel-twin engine, paired with a resonant exhaust note and a robust surge of low-end torque, makes it exceptionally tractable for city commutes. Out on the open road, it proves equally capable, effortlessly sustaining highway cruising speeds of 110 to 120 kmph.

​Ergonomically, the packaging is highly commendable. Even for a rider at 5'7", the 830mm seat height and overall mass remain entirely manageable—a testament to Royal Enfield's excellent mass centralization and low center of gravity.

​Looking ahead, factory options for tubeless spoked or alloy wheels in the next update seem highly probable. If Royal Enfield were to further integrate a ride-by-wire throttle and traction control, it would cement this fundamentally brilliant, refined, and nimble twin-cylinder machine as a benchmark in its class."

on top of the content of the video, the presentation and the subtle puns are so good...

Fantastic wordplays by Shumi as usual
