Thanks Jeff Much Appreciated
@@OlManRonin Fun fact R.E. is now made in Milwaukee , not all models yet, but that's coming .
@@joecamel6835 Royal Enfield North America is headquartered in Milwaukee.
I just went to an RE demo day last weekend. The Scram's 19” front wheel, along with the front end being a little lower than the Himalayan, makes the Scram much easier to ride on the street. The RE rep actually said the Scram wasn’t really designed for as much off road riding like the Himalayan is. He was right. The Scram definitely handled better on the street but the Himalayan was better in the woods. I really like the looks of the Scram but it reminds me of a Jeep. People want to look like they go off roading but in reality 90% of them will never leave the pavement. Would I buy one? Heck yeah! I want to own one of every bike made.BTW, the red and white was my favorite one too. Very nice.
There are those that find midsize bikes, whatever that means in 2022, are perfectly suitable for their needs. There are those who find that the now 1700+ ccs are suitable to their needs. I’ve found that my 800cc bike is able to cruise at 60 mph comfortably, is nice in the twisties, and doesn’t break the back. To each their own and safe riding!
Always Jon Cheers
Nice video! I think the oval brake reservoir on my Classic is sexy and the rectangle is a little too industrial. 😂 I am looking forward to a direct comparison of your Himalayan to the Scram. The 19” wheel and removal of the crash bars should make it feel better.
Back in the last century we used to deride “parts bin engineering” when a Buick, Pontiac and Oldsmobile were all the same car with a different badge name. Then Harley figured out if they took off the chrome or put different handlebars on suddenly they had a “new” model.
I think Royal Enfield is doing it right. The Classic, Meteor and Hunter all use the same frame and engine but are completely different bikes! Same with the 650 twins. The Scram is another example of doing it right.
Too bad there aren’t enough dealerships in the US. We need one in my town!
Great first ride video. Looks like a stunning bike! Keep ‘em coming mate 👍
Another 1st class review Ronin - thank you very much. I discovered your channel about a week ago and I've been visiting the back catalogue to get thoughts on the Meteor 350, Classic 350 and others in the RE range. I'm considering downsizing from my current bike which is a 2021 T100. We ride two-up almost 90% of the time and we're just not enjoying ragging it and kissing the apex anymore. The weight of bikes is becoming an increasing issue as I get older which is another reason for our potential next purchase. Plus in the UK there's currently a war on the motorist with (amongst other things) is the ever decreasing speed limits. A lot of 60mph roads are now 50 (and 40 in some cases). And there are proposals to even reduce 30mph limits in built-up areas down to 20mph. BUT, and here's the thing - it constantly reminds us that a lot of pleasure can be had from riding more slowly, kicking back and just taking in the view.
The hands free section? Don't try this at home 😉🤣. Reminds of the time I borrowed a BMW R1200RS for the day. That too was incredibly stable - riding no handed using the cruise control was quite easy. Just moving the hips to steer. Not recommended, but if you're testing a bike it has to be done lol
For a guy on fixed income, my Himalayan is the perfect tonic for the latest "politigas" SNAFU. The Scram looks to be just as capable as the "Himmy", and I look forward to more on this VERY neato bike!
agreed and thank you HVD
I have had my Scram for a few months, having previously ridden cruisers for the last 20 + years. Loving it, apart from the wildly pessimistic fuel gauge which starts showing low when there is nearly half a tank left!
lol well better safe than sorry I guess lol
Thanks for the great first impressions video. I'm a first time rider and chose this as my first bike. Picking it up this weekend. Very excited.
Good start to your investigation of differential of Scram
7:00. zoom! Thanks for the vid! Not loving the look as much as a Classic 350, but looks nice for what it is. Good color scheme too! Ride Safe 🙏🏼
I think it looks amazing , especially this one , same one I got to see today .
As someone who had a test ride on the old Himalayan and absolutely hated it (I just didn’t fit the bike) and ended up buying a meteor which I thought was superior in every way this bike has me interested in it. I am looking forward to your comparisons and your opinions on all three bikes as you have much the same outlook on what you want as I have.
RE has a nice line up of small bikes. I think their timing is good in the western market. They will sell as long as they keep the prices well below the competition. Good on them.
It’s good to see your knees fit in the knee area as I am a long legged galoot myself. And I bet that red and White is going to be by far the most popular color.
Great first impression video; loads of information and a very enjoyable video, nice one.
Neil
thanks Neil
@@OlManRonin Way to go man; luv your stuff👍🏍🍻
I enjoyed the review, and this helped me make my decision to get one. Thanks!
Congratulations
Now I'm waiting for you to review Royal Enfield Hunter 350 🙂
So are we in the US. I imagine next quarter 🤞
@@OlManRonin Hell Yeah!!
It has same engine as Classic 350 & Meteor 350, since it's a light weight (Hunter) the engine is punchy and has more character to it 😊
I bought a new Scram this past Saturday. I am impressed with it, so much so, I have put my "22 Classic 350 up for sale. It has all the performance I need. It is so nimble. Everything that you pointed out is true for me. I do like this bike.
Hi Daryl. Could you elaborate more on the differences. I’m on the market for a new RE so I’m torn between the classic 350 and the scram. What’s making you sell the classic?
I like the looks of the 411. I even like the Himalayan. It makes for a good road bike, the 411.
I watched the premier and it was up to the usual good content and delivery.
Thanks John Much Appreciated Cheers
Love it great presentation great content as always.
Thank You John!!
G'day Ronin from Australia, l have four Grandsons and we have always had a trail bike or two for our kids and the Grandkids to have fun with, this scrambler bike from Royal Enfield could be an upgrade we need,not knowing the price yet, if it's from RE it will be pocket money price compared to the competition, I'm looking forward to your continuing reviews, the weather today 21C about 72F with one day clear sky's next rain that's Spring down under, cheers mate, say hi to Ironlady, Neil 🤠.
Great video with covering almost all points. I point from my side, does scram also heat up as most of BS6(India) version engines.???
Thanks for this; I look forward to mare, as I'm considering a Scram 411... :)
Really like the way this bike felt on the showroom floor,, more “dirt bikeish “ to me it sits better than the Himmi. Lil Ronin was seen at 6:51
Thanks Ro!
S
I like the first impression and look forward to more. Having someone compare it to a Himalayan who actually has a lot of experience on a Himalayan, I'm looking forward to that. Looks like next year they may be ripping up my street all summer, not ideal for my current bike but a second bike seems like the obvious answer to me. Little Ronin was rolling at 6:50.
thank you, this is exactly what I wanted to know the hill i go over toa friends place is 31 k or 50 miles, starts at 200m or600 ft sumit at 555m or 1500 ft and drops back down to100 m and is hairpin windythis makes it look promising
Looking forward to another great review!
Thanks Dale!!!
19" inch tries at the front gives the scram the street bike look, colour is also nice.
I enjoy the "White Flame" alot and that says something lol
The Scram 411 is at the top of a short list for my 1st bike. The only thing I want to see made available as an option is alloy wheels and tubeless tires, as I am not planning any off road riding.
And I am partial to the graphite blue Scrams.
I supposedly had the first California Scram purchase. A White/Flame, that I have done my first basic upgrade’s on. Delkevic 8” Carbon Pipe and the DNA Air Cleaner. I have removed my badges and the super heavy pipe. Still need to do my EDS TUFF LITE turn signals and remove the rear inner plastic fender piece. So for I’m down to 379 pounds with a half a tank of fuel. It’s much more responsive and increased my top end speed to 75-80mph (I have made 80mph on the freeway for a brief moment but being nice as I’m still breaking in until 1000 miles
Great video! Interested in a new bike. I wanna downsize from my Kawasaki 636. I might pull the trigger on this one...
Great job reviewing covering all of the key points. It’s too bad you can’t try a Baja Dominar 400 Ug more horse power, more torque and same sitting , handling and braking quality. Love mine. 😊
Bajaj is no heritage bike nor has any history! Good only for people like you who don’t have knowledge about international market! Bajaj is a domestic brand n exports to only poor countries
Bajaj not Baja
@@ultra8142 Depends on what country.

Hi
OI' Man Ronin .
Just wondering what the latest is with the Himalayan upgrades etc.
Fuel X Pro?
See it's been a while now since fitting Baak exhaust & air Filter upgrade.
Looking forward to you doing the video on the Fuel X Pro.
Ride Safe.
David Clugston.
Hey david thanks for asking. Since the powertronics demands I remove the tank and I have a couple other things I want to do while the tank is off, I'm waiting until the weather gets a little worse so I devote more time to doing these upgrades.
nice i like it i need to find one of the to of them 411`s at some point
Hi Ronin. A particular question here. When I tried riding the Scram, I found squeezing the tank with my knees to be uncomfortable. My knees pushed against the ridge on the tank. However, when I sat on (couldn’t drive) the regular 2022 Himalayan my knees slotted perfectly below that ridge on the fuel tank. It seemed to fit much better than the Scram. I’m 6’ or 183cm but maybe I have long legs?! I’m wondering if you noticed anything like that? Did your knees seems to be in a different position relative to that ridge on the fuel tank when riding the Scram? Thank you for reading.
This bike peaks my interest.
I bet the lighter weight and that 19" wheel make it a lot more nimble. I'm happy on my Himalayan, but sometimes that 21 makes you work.
Burro vs pony
Its either this or the Xcape 650 for me this year! If not then might have to wait n see the Shotgun etc
I could book myself a trip with a guy who rents out Himis for trips in the Uk come spring if am without bike.
One thing I forget to mention in your live show was for Uk people we do our "cat a" tests on things like suzuki 650's with 70bhp so I think people get used to the extra power and think cant go back to 125/350cc type speeds. Hence why think the 40bhp Himi is going to sell well if R Enf dont drop the ball. (For me would ease any doubts re full load plus my weight n Welsh hills)
Thanks Arach. Much appreciated
Hello Ronin, I would like to ask you a question since you know the 350 engines too: Which one do you recommend for traveling with a passenger and moving in big cities, the scram 411 or the classic 350, the scram has more power to pass trucks on highways.... thanks,
I like the scram but I'll stick with my Himalayan It does everything I need for a 63 year old man!
My favorite color scheme is the silver spirit. I prefer glossy finishes.
Thats cool!
I wonder if the crash bars on the Himalayan will fit the scram. Ronin, Could you do a swap if possible? Great video!
the tank bars? no the front end is different
Try Bajaj Dominar 400 UG
You Will love that Bike ....
And Try TVS Bikes as well
And There is Some Other Classic Bike Brands in India as well like JAWA , Yezdi ....
But You should Try Bajaj Dominar 400 UG 1st ... Highly recommended
I can't wait to get over to my royal enfield dealer. I'm still torn between the meteor or the scram. Both seem like great bikes but not sure which one to go with
ride them bothyou can't go wrong with either
Road last year in india for if you have to do traffic better than himalayan. Good to see info on offroad
Hoi it's a rectangle!!!! Lol.
I like the wee bottle, it makes me giggle, but only since you called it a wee bottle lol.
Lol
Is this quicker than Meteor 350? Which bike do you like better, scram or meteor 350?
Just depends how you’re going to use the bike. More around town get the scram, more off road ,get the Himalayan with larger front wheel and extra ground clearance.
tasmania,australia your reviews are great mate, meteor 350 is it to heavy 190 kg and got my doubts about engine lasting only 20hp ,note cfmoto 700, 6000 klm fueling flat spot gone,trouble free
Welcome to the channel Geoff! Cheers
I have a meteor and find it fine weight wise.
Why don’t you ride one and give your ridiculous assessment
The fact it's low powered means it's understressed and will last longer, theoretically
How does it handle rough pavement? More like a street bike or off road bike?
More like a Scrambler. Better Suspension than Street bike for potholes and the such. More videos coming
The weather is controlled bro. Look up. No kidding.
Scram 411 is versatile, offers decent performance, looks good and is relatively cheap. What's not to like?
TRUTH
Sir when will you be test riding RE Hunter?
They arent in North America yet.
@@OlManRonin looking forward.
My Dad's 1973 Yamaha DT-250 has 23 HP .. Being a two stroke I suppose it uses a lot more gas plus needing two stroke oil ..
The 2's had all the power in the higher revs, but my very 2st bike was a 2er
Thank you, from Indian
Waiting for more info on the scram 411
coming soon
coming soon
Strange, how do they call it a 2023? RE plans to release a 450 cc water-cooled engine in 2023, which will have a himalayan and scram
well YOU may get it in 2023 but we get things alot later here in NA
Saw lil’ronin at 6:55
Now that's a Scam I could fall for 😁👍
What helmet are you wearing?
Hey Hal, I'm wearing my favorite ADV-style helmet the Zox Vertex and it's listed below in the description! Cheers

Did you tell the dealer when you returned it?
May I ask what height you are?

@@OlManRonin thank you!
Finaly , a review from someone who has legs Lol .
lol thanks
hope these Himalayan' would get Aloy wheels as it sucks always have to tight its spoke wheels every 1000kms
I wouldn't buy an adv bike with mags personally. They break ask me how I know ;)

no vibrations on ANY Scram or Himalayan I've ever ridden

@@faycaltarik6121 weird no vibrations on any of the Scram or Himalayana I've ever ridden
6:50
It would have more "torque" if you shifted it into a lower gear ;)
UMM did you watch the video as I was TESTING lol
@@OlManRonin Of course, I luv your vids of these critters. Motorsicklists just get goofy over "torque." The torque at the rear wheel i.e. what you experience is dictated by the power from the engine and the gear you select. Yes, there is a crank torque, but as the crank doesn't touch the ground, it's rather immaterial.
It's just like a bicycle. You wouldn't call yourself "torquey." You have energy from your Wheaties that gets transmitted to your bicycle crank (pedals). If you're in 1st gear, your Wheaties power buys you a lot of torque and a little speed at the rear wheel. In tenth gear, the same Wheaties power buys you a little torque and a lot of speed at the rear wheel. Motorcycles are no different. They don't produce peak torque for a while then magically produce peak power, despite that that's how it's usually described.
Oddly, what we humans actually feel is rarely to describe the sensation i.e. acceleration.
Is that your helmet strap flapping around on the right side? 🤔..... And sure enough further into the video you realised your mistake 😂👍🏻
