I'm 75 years old and have been looking for motorcycles that aren't too large and heavy for me. I've been saving up my pennies, but being old without a job it's taking a while to get enough money to buy a decent motorcycle. I've been looking at the local dealerships leftover 2023 V7s but with this glowing review of the RE Bear (and with all the dirt roads around Prescott Arizona) I think that I may have found the right bike for me! Hip hip hoorah!
@@chriswatts6161 Really? Can you tell me how an Interceptor is the same as the Bear without spending a lot for upgrading the suspension etc.? I would really entertain the idea if it's possible. Thanks for the idea.
I am quite happy to hear of the new direction of your (main) channel. Bike reviews are a dime a dozen. In depth, living with any particular bike while traveling to interesting and scenic locations is a far more engaging foormat, in my opinion. I look fwd to watching you guys more in 2025. (I'm really enjoying the series in India).
It was such a joy having you two over in India . Loved your travelogs of Karnataka and Goa , it will be great having you back again . Have a great year , God bless!
Firstly, a great year, secondly, the India "series" is fantastic and thirdly, the pivot to do a bit of travel is a really good idea. All the best guys, here's to a great 2025. All the very best and keep up the great work.
Comparing prices of meals in India and the UK is not very realistic. Yes, that dish in an Indian restaurant cost you 10 pounds in England while a similar dish in India cost you 1 pound... Rents of premises, wages, tax, the price of the ingredients etc are all far, far higher in the UK than in India, so of course that dish would cost much more where you live compared to where you've just been on holiday. But you probably earn more than ten times as much as an average Indian. So everything was dirt cheap for you there, but for an average Indian worker it's probably really expensive. It's all relative...
Just like to say I enjoyed your travels through India on Royal Enfield motorcycles keep doing it it’s extremely interesting and I enjoyed it it doesn’t always have to be about motorcycles Happy, 2025
Really enjoying the India trip videos. Great job, guys! There are other motorcycle travel videos on TH-cam but there is definitely something special about yours. Part of it comes from the father - son relationship and part of it is that you guys come across as very genuine and relatable.
A really good break down on the India trip gents! I traveled southern India in the early 90’s, I came home (Australia) with a different outlook of life. As you said Indian people are rich in the simplicity of sustainable lifestyle, I’ve always carried their concept of happy contentment and appreciate what I have in life. Great series this one, I’d like to do a tour again and get to Motoverse. I think this added direction of moto travel for your channel will be well received. Happy new year and all the best for 2025 guys. 👍
As an Indian, wanted to provide some context to the negative comments you might have received from some of the Indians. Our country is often not shown in good light in western media. Now, a lot of people in India have internet access & they can see that & frustrated by it. So, they want to push back even at their slightest hint or idea of someone who is showing the stereotypical side of India, which you are not doing obviously but people are so fed up that they assume this even without watching the content. I absolutely agree when you said that animals & humans should live sustainably without one trying to control other, an idea which a lot of foreigners don't get & often show this in negative light. Also massively agree on your assessment if how do you see richness in people. I often tell this to my western friends, what you might see as poor people, probably sleep better at night than you. So, you need not worry about them. Overall loved your videos, keep going. Wish you all the best for 2025. Happy New Year !!
To add to the point above, when someone is criticizing the choice of music, they just assume you are another westerner trying to stereotype India, because of their previous experience of watching the western content. I hope this clears the misunderstanding.
your videos were very nice to be honest... I don't know who better it could be? showing villages and all was a even better thing because an Indian who shifted to a city I miss village and I think you felt that by the happiness the people have. You guys doing very nice videos.
I watch a lot of travel videos but they can be motorbike travel, specific model motorbike travel, food travel, language travel, sailing travel etc. So I get recommended push-bike travel which I dont like (all that sweat and strain) because "bike travel". Classifications and algorithms are frustrating except when they throw up the occasional gems. Bear 650 is very appealling apart from the weight so I'm staying with my Classic 350. 880 miles now so an easy ride up to 1200 miles fully run-in, when I'll be able to open it up and get that glorious extra 15mph!
Heys guys, really enjoyed the India series and totally agree with your views regarding sustainability and a simpler lifestyle. I haven’t been to India but I now can’t appreciate what a fascinating and diverse country and culture it is. As a big RE fan , I think it would be the perfect place to ride and explore on the Bear650 or Classic 350 . Love the brand and plan to own one very soon. Wishing you much success in 2025 and as always, ride safe. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
You two do an excellent job. Your reviews are great, and your travel-focused videos take us with you. Positive critique from your subscribers helps continuous improvement, but don't take any notice of trolls with nothing better to do than moan and complain. Remember, you are a father and son team, not global experts, but you record what you see and interact with, so it is your authentic experience. I love what you guys do, and the dynamic between you makes for great viewing. Annoyingly, I'm recovering from a full hip replacement, and so I am not riding at the moment, even though it is summer here in NZ. Thanks for what you've done so far, and have a happy and successful 2025!
Loving the India episodes, brilliant! I really like that it’s not just about the riding but about meeting the people, experiencing the food and exploring the culture. Great stuff guys I look forward to the remaining episodes.
I’ve been watching your travel videos multiple times, and I have to say, the quality is outstanding. The vibrant colors and breathtaking landscapes are truly captivating. As an Indian living in Europe, I enjoyed watching these videos with my family-it was a lot of fun! I’m currently working towards getting my driving permit here, and that’s actually how I discovered your channel. I was unsure about which bike to choose, but your reviews have been incredibly helpful. Thank you for the amazing content!
23:00 believe me people will watch your videos and wait for next one to drop For me you people are mix of travel, review and even cultural experiences I lived in Coventry for 6 years and came back to now. Most of things I mostly connect to
You are mostly correct, spice levels vary a lot in India, other than that, the gut bacteria of an Indian born and brought up person and someone from abroad is quite different. Since your bodies are not used to the amoebic gut bacteria of a tropical place, you'll feel some unease on account of that. Besides clean water, the climate and surge in microbial activity also affects the body a lot, but you guys handled it pretty well and have good immunity too. Cheers, hope to see more.
A really interesting and enjoyable review of your recent trip abroad amongst many other topics both speaking from the heart and showing passion for life and motorcycling . Wishing you both a happy new year. Paul
You mentioned that this is a motorcycle channel that does some travel videos. It's funny, TH-cam recommended your channel to me about a year ago. I subscribed because I enjoyed your video's where you drive around the UK, talk, and eat lunch. I have always liked motorcycles but I watch mostly travel videos on TH-cam. I would love more adventure video's that culminate in a conversation between father and son.
In most of UK what we think are Indian restaurants lots of time are run by chefs from Bangladesh - totally different menu and cuisine you will notice … glad you had a good time.
I watched all of your India videos, loved your open minded attitude to India, it is a complex country but nothing like it anywhere else. The trip was fascinating and as mentioned loved the way you dealt with the people of India 🇮🇳. I hope you visit India again and cover the many fabulous places which can be visited. Thank you for sharing your experiences with an open minded and friendly approach. Best Wishes 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
On your next trip to India you have to visit Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep Islands and Daman and Diu, they have some of the Cleanest , Bluest , most relaxing and less touristic beaches in India.
Oh my word, where do I begin to unpack all that? "happiness is a richness" you sir are a philosopher. Love your outlook, and approach. Seems to me with you guys, what you see is what you get. Some youtubers come across as superior and patronising, whereas I think that if I were ever fortunate enough to meet you in person you would be perfectly approachable. The clickbait thing is rhubarb! Please keep on doing what you're doing in the way you are doing it, and keep riding your BMW royal enfield and your MOTO GUZZI royal enfield (fan boys indeed!!!) Regards, Paul.
I was looking for this validation that you guys love Bear 650. I bought mine on the 1st of Dec and just love it barring the suspension. Such a nice laid-back podcast.
Thanks for the extraordinary documentation of your indian trip with the classic 350`s. Please do an other journey with royal enfield bikes next year I loved it very much. best wishes from Hamburg - a Classic 350 biker😊🎉
Gentleman, thank you very much for taking us along with you on a fantastic 2024. All the best for both of you in 2025 and we're all eager to see where you take us next!
28:14 Proof that we Indians can also be materialistic, have pride or inferiority complex over materialistic acquisitions and can have such distorted notion of beauty/wealth/happiness/honour based on materialistic criteria. And some of us can be insensitive enough to censor creativity and be insecure enough to try control narrative of well meaning tourist vloggers who want to just experience the real India. Thus my friends Indians have no monopoly on spirituality. Just visit us for food, history, culture and architecture, you can be spiritual anywhere. Keep doing the good work, don’t mind capitalistic nationalistic insecure trolls of internet.
Excellent sum up of India tour.. U r always welcome back and this time go for Ladhak mountain biking trip during Indian Summer.. Which is very famous amongst world wide bikers. And do this on Royal Enfield Himalayan version... Its made up for Mountains. R. Enfields are there in every streets of India.. The sound it generates is different from all other local bikes here. 😊
Enjoyed the series so much!!! Camera work, angles, editing, back ground music was top class. I loved the way you both see India and life. Subscribed to your channel. Now I have to see all the content you have posted in the past :-) love from Goa, India. All the best. Continue the good work.
When I eat at restuarants in my country, I don't pay for the food. I pay for wages, rent & infrastructure. Although I'm buying food and a place to sit, the food isn't that expensive, even though I pay for it.
Would like to wish you and yours all the best for 25. Lets hope the planet is a more peaceful place and people learn to live together. Keep doing what your doing and more power to your elbow to reach that 200K.
You know and display the essence of happiness in various parts of India. And we love watching your videos very much and really appreciate your efforts. Thanks for sharing.🤗
I owned a moto guzzi v7 850 stone and have similar motorbike tests as you guys, here from Kentucky in the US and am so wanting the Royal Enfield Bear 650. I haven't test rode it yet, it's freezing over here this time of year, but I've rode the 650 interceptor and thought it was a fantastic bike. The bear looks better than the interceptor imo with the scrambler style and look it is one of the best looking bikes out right now imo.
Hello Gentlemen, This is so nostalgic for me. My dad rode an classic royal Enfield 350 CC in the 80s. It had the gears on RHS, with brakes on the opposite side and a small lever to get it into neutral gear. He could maneuver it with his 220 pounds frame. Hv so many fond memories of pillion rides with him on that bike. God bless u guys 😇and thank you for the beautiful clip with so much informative stuff 🙏 May the force be with you 🏍️ 💓
I reckon you blokes did an amazing job on your traveling adventures! Viewing from 🇦🇺 As for making travel doco's you have all the amazing skills in post to create great stories and adventure with great filming! 🎥 You guys are traveling along awesome! Thank you for the investment of your travels and all the production in post! Thank you! Appreciate your content mates!
Great series, just catching up on a few episodes that I missed. Good to hear you’re looking at other modern classic reviews. I know you did the Honda CB1100RS, but I’d be interested in your views on the EX version as that’s the one I have. Can’t wait for the roads to dry out. Happy new year to you both.
Thank you 😊 unfortunately they dropped the Honda EX in the UK and that would have been even better in our books than the RS as it is even more classic looking 👍🏼 Still a few more episodes to come of the India trip on Mondays 👍🏼
I am in agreement with pretty much all you have said here guys. Particularly regarding the Norton and its character. The Royal Enfield Classic 500 has the same sort of character, albeit with less power than the Norton but was criticized for this. Based on the mention that you would like to review older, more slimmer bikes, maybe it is time to take a second look at the most obvious one. The Classic 500, which remained pretty much the same for 60 plus years. I own one and the final versions were finished vey well, have more power than the new 350 and much less plastic on them. They are also lighter, thanks to the mono frame. Yes, they had a newly designed engine/gearbox for the final 10 or so years of production but this was an OHV engine with hydraulic tappets, which need no manual adjustment. 5 years after production ceased, a retrospective review of this bike, which is rammed full of character would I think be interesting......
Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas time and looking forward to your direction in 2025. I do not eat out very often here in the states as prepared food prices have increased beyond the quality of food. So I make my own food and most of the time, I will bring food when I will be away from the home for the day, I will bring a few items to tide me over. I have been a vegetarian for 36 years, not for animal reasons even though I can't get the face of the animal out of my mind when I see the meat, but what they inject into the animal to make more meat. I guess they now do this to vegetables and fruits. Any ways, I like long form videos, thanks for the entertainment this year gentalmen!😊
Hi both, just watched the vlog. You mentioned you had to drive through the drop off zone at Gatwick. Don't be surprised if you you do get a parking fine!!. Even though you didn't stop!. I dropped my son off at Heathrow last year at the virgin upper class and got lost on the way out. Ended up driving through the drop off and not stopping. About 2 weeks later I got a penalty notice for I think it was £80!!. I appealed against it but was refused😡😡. Great series though. Loved it. India is on my bucket list👍
You both are amazing people, respectful to other people other cultures.🙏 one tip, please ignore negative comments from indians, just be yourself, use whatever music you like, show whatever you like rich or poor doesn't matter, just be yourself,you are amazing. ignore comments trying to change you guys. Because of huge population😂 you will get various types of weird comments in large quantity 😂 so try to ignore and just do whatever you like.🙏 Namaste love you both ❤
so that pulao and biriyani is in reality not that spicy but is supposed to be flavourful but local variations are spicier for local tastes . If you wish to listen to very melodious music no matter the language check my latest vlogs in which i infuse popular music with my shorts on travel❤❤❤
In your latest video you recommended the India trip as stress free but you obviously excluded the getting to and from the airport bits ! I am normally happy to be back in the UK with the exception of arriving at Heathrow which has always left me underwhelmed and sorry that it’s often tourists first taste of the UK. As for UK prices and the £2 packet of crisps, if you planned ahead you could avoid being ripped off. The UK minimum wage for adults is £11.44 an hour, what with employers national insurance, business rates etc what do you expect ? And don’t expect it to get cheaper anytime soon ! 🇬🇧
Do you think visiting India has changed you as people. Your views on life, possessions and finding peace in our fast paced culture in the UK? On a less deep note. Will you try again for a meet up with some of us in 25?
@@darrenhall6509 Interesting question. No it has not changed us because we have always had views that are normal in the Western world, but it is enlightening to see some of our ideals being lived in real life. As for a meet up, perhaps the easiest way would be to announce when we will be at an event, or such like 👍🏼

Great choice!! Same thought
You'd pick up a interceptor at a cheaper price which is more or less the same bike

Thank you 😊 unfortunately they dropped the Honda EX in the UK and that would have been even better in our books than the RS as it is even more classic looking 👍🏼
Still a few more episodes to come of the India trip on Mondays 👍🏼
You two are a friendly chaps. Wishing you both a happy and healthy new year.
And happy new year to you also 👍🏼
Enjoyed your India videos. Next time go to other places in south india like Kerala and tamilnadu,probably in winter.
@@kasturiswami784 still a few more to come on Mondays 👍🏼
Happy new year guys, keep up the good work.
Thank you and Happy New Year 🥳
I am in agreement with pretty much all you have said here guys. Particularly regarding the Norton and its character. The Royal Enfield Classic 500 has the same sort of character, albeit with less power than the Norton but was criticized for this. Based on the mention that you would like to review older, more slimmer bikes, maybe it is time to take a second look at the most obvious one. The Classic 500, which remained pretty much the same for 60 plus years. I own one and the final versions were finished vey well, have more power than the new 350 and much less plastic on them. They are also lighter, thanks to the mono frame. Yes, they had a newly designed engine/gearbox for the final 10 or so years of production but this was an OHV engine with hydraulic tappets, which need no manual adjustment. 5 years after production ceased, a retrospective review of this bike, which is rammed full of character would I think be interesting......
Really love all your videos. Would love to welcome you all and see you in India again. Would really love to see you do videos on Himalayas in India.
@@kushalthakur1 we are definitely wanting to come back to India 🙏

Hope you both had a wonderful Christmas time and looking forward to your direction in 2025. I do not eat out very often here in the states as prepared food prices have increased beyond the quality of food. So I make my own food and most of the time, I will bring food when I will be away from the home for the day, I will bring a few items to tide me over. I have been a vegetarian for 36 years, not for animal reasons even though I can't get the face of the animal out of my mind when I see the meat, but what they inject into the animal to make more meat. I guess they now do this to vegetables and fruits. Any ways, I like long form videos, thanks for the entertainment this year gentalmen!😊
Try Honda Hiness 350cc some time. May be you will like it.
I watched it all the way through top drew
damn santa claus is buffed up
Bear 650 is about 4k pounds on road in india
Hi both, just watched the vlog. You mentioned you had to drive through the drop off zone at Gatwick. Don't be surprised if you you do get a parking fine!!. Even though you didn't stop!. I dropped my son off at Heathrow last year at the virgin upper class and got lost on the way out. Ended up driving through the drop off and not stopping. About 2 weeks later I got a penalty notice for I think it was £80!!. I appealed against it but was refused😡😡. Great series though. Loved it. India is on my bucket list👍
Just don't visit delhi and agra, saying as an indian ❤
Just ordered a Bear 249....
When you said you are planning to cut down cows from your diet, it geniunly made me happy as a Hindu ♥️
You both are amazing people, respectful to other people other cultures.🙏 one tip, please ignore negative comments from indians, just be yourself, use whatever music you like, show whatever you like rich or poor doesn't matter, just be yourself,you are amazing. ignore comments trying to change you guys. Because of huge population😂 you will get various types of weird comments in large quantity 😂 so try to ignore and just do whatever you like.🙏 Namaste love you both ❤
@@ivk_ thank you 🙏
For very hot & spicy food, next time you come to India go to Andhra Pradesh & Nagaland states
Thank you that is great to know as we are intending to return 👍🏼
@DarcyOlManExtra if you do plan to cover both states, then you might as well enter my state, Meghalaya 😊, you will definitely get good pork.
Just lovely
@hershchat thank you 😊
2025 will be a much better year, big hug friends, happy 2025!! 👍🏻👊🏻
Try a phal from the place you got your vintheloo from!
Love you vlogs guys,,love tge relationship you have together,,,list my father in 2010,,,I'm very envious,,,from down under
Sorry to hear that and thank you 🙏
Ahh the primitive Jaguar guys.
so that pulao and biriyani is in reality not that spicy but is supposed to be flavourful but local variations are spicier for local tastes . If you wish to listen to very melodious music no matter the language check my latest vlogs in which i infuse popular music with my shorts on travel❤❤❤
Can you also try the honda cb350, not the highness.
Yes we want to 👍🏼
th-cam.com/video/vVMPEaBVKwQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=1eBjgfrN6dHx-Hma Darcy rode the GB350 (same bike different name) in Japan, check out the video
In your latest video you recommended the India trip as stress free but you obviously excluded the getting to and from the airport bits ! I am normally happy to be back in the UK with the exception of arriving at Heathrow which has always left me underwhelmed and sorry that it’s often tourists first taste of the UK.
As for UK prices and the £2 packet of crisps, if you planned ahead you could avoid being ripped off. The UK minimum wage for adults is £11.44 an hour, what with employers national insurance, business rates etc what do you expect ? And don’t expect it to get cheaper anytime soon ! 🇬🇧
We were just unfortunate that it snowed in the UK the day of departure, otherwise the journey would have not been stressful 👍🏼
Hopefully we see you guys try out the Triumph Speed Twin 900 MY 2025 soon. Slimmer modern classic bike ain't it?
Unfortunately we were elsewhere on the launch of that one, but we will catch up with it soon 👍🏼
Do you think visiting India has changed you as people. Your views on life, possessions and finding peace in our fast paced culture in the UK? On a less deep note. Will you try again for a meet up with some of us in 25?
@@darrenhall6509 Interesting question. No it has not changed us because we have always had views that are normal in the Western world, but it is enlightening to see some of our ideals being lived in real life.
As for a meet up, perhaps the easiest way would be to announce when we will be at an event, or such like 👍🏼
25:50 No, no, no! Vegan?!? Don't. Jesus, Mary and Joseph 🙄 Actually, I can live with that. Just don't start pushing E-motorcycles 😉✌️
No we are not vegan 👍🏼
Spin cycle sounds like a 1200. 😂
do you guys watch cricket ?? if so who is your favorate cricketer
We have never been into any sports to be honest 👍🏼
UK food prices are a "ripoff" if you think the folks serving you deserve a living wage....
I think it's more the UK government increasing food prices so much 👍🏼
Never try anything made out of Naga Ghost Chilly. It's spice is on another level and unbearable.
Gentlemen, a Royal Enfield is no longer English. All the best!
They’ve been made in India since the 1950s, we don’t care where they are made, as long as they look good, sound good, ride good, and have a soul
I hope you guys find a job rather than comparing India and England to get some Indian views 😂
