Hi, I'm a Royal Enfield enthusiast and RE is testing 2 more models on the 650 cc platform. One's a roadster and the other is a cruiser. Probably one of them is equipped with upside down forks- the first on a RE. Rumours predict that a 650 Himalayan is in the pipeline as well. Good efforts on RE's part.

4-5 hours per day should be no problem, but yes, this riding position is more pressure on your arms, back and knees, but not a bad.

@bobmetzger51 3 года назад

Overall, a pretty good review. But, I suggest "inexpensive" vs. "cheap" when talking about price. Also, it is hard to praise the price point, and then turn around and itemize all the ways the bike could be better. Adequate components is what determines the price point of the machine.

@davewood6361 3 года назад

Do you work for RE? I know marketers like to avoid the word "cheap", but for the rest of us, it is literally a synonym for inexpensive. Especially when used in context "the price is cheap" - with the actual price displayed on screen as it is here. Interested to understand where your comment is coming from!

They need to stop advertising how “affordable” they are. With the US they’ll charge you $2,000 on top of the sale price. So a GT claims to be $6,200 but you’ll be spending closer to $8,000 out the door.

Basically its a cheap bike but not cheaply made delivering a value product. They can put in all bells and whistles but then it loses the charm and will not be able to compete at enhanced price points of established manufacturers. Most bikes are made for value conscious Indian buyers where the company can sell in numbers which is generally 5-6k max
