That is the ROYAL ENFIELD area. There are two other areas; the new Triumph shop and the Vintage motorcycle showroom. I'll try to do a location video soon.
First thing I'd do before delivery is have a center stand fitted and an iridium spark plug. Plenty of advice on Himalayan upgrades on TH-cam, Fuelx lite improves the low speed ride ability but not top speed. Fit a better camshaft (TEC BIKE PARTS) + A tooth on the front sprocket if you want to give it legs Enjoy!
Hi, Julian. So you addressed something I've been considering: the center-stand. Do you know that the Scram has accommodating mounting points in place? I assume it does, given that it is a Himalayan, but "ass out of u and me!" The other potential issue is whether or not the stand you're thinking of is a RE part. If it is, are height mods in place to account for the lower bike? A Himalayan stand might work, but feel too tall. I have 650 BMWs, and that series, too, ended up being available in either a 19" or a 21" front end. BMW left off the center-stand for the 21" version (though many added later) but even the side-stand was the same. So the "Dakar" and "Sertao" owners -- the 21"-ers, for those interested or familiar -- always had to mod the stand so the bikes would stop falling over! It makes that much of a difference, those two inches. Thanks for reading.
I have exactly the same bike, I made 250 km with it, I am a beginner, made my license three month ago and I bought a Scram 411 as my first bike. I really recommend for beginners 100-120 km/h the maximum with it. Almost perfect but the 24 horse power I think its not enough, it should be 35-40.
If my aging eyes don't deceive me, when you scrolled through "A," "B," and total miles, all read 8.1 miles? Wonderful opportunity. I looked up Baxter to get an idea of where you are filming -- watched your Himalayan stuff, too -- as it really looks lovely. I made my way to the Rockies when younger, and here I remain. But I really appreciate midwest beauty, too. As long as I'm here, I'll mention that one of the features that would seem genuinely beneficial, whether included as stock, or a factory/dealer option, is heated grips. I get, and appreciate, RE's KISS -- keep it simple stupid -- approach. But from an "all road, no roads" POV, it is really an ADV baseline for many. And a RE option would just be cleaner and easier, (and a sales help,) than aftermarket. Thanks for taking the time to film this and post it.
I don't think RE offers the heated grips but Baxter does and it's a very popular add-on. I myself have thought of adding it to my Himalayan but do fine with the winter control covers I have. If you ever make it back this direction stop into Baxter's and take one of these bikes for a ride. Thank you!
Did you drop your tyre pressure for off pavement riding? Nice video with a positive feel 👍🏻. The bikes ride much better than the price might suggest on and off road.
On my personal Himalayan I do run lower tire pressures when on dirt & gravel. You can tell the difference. The Scram was a shop bike so I ran stock tire pressures. If my bike and on gravel for the day I would probably drop pressures. These bikes, especially the Scram model, are a fabulous value. I think the Scram is the unsung hero of the current Royal Enfield line up. Great bike!
Looking at this or a Himalayan for my first bike, I am 6'7" so the seat height difference would be fine either way. I am set up for test rides next week, I would be about 50/50 or possibly more leaning toward offroad riding like 65/35. I live in Middle TN so there are trails for days and I want to take it camping with us for trails as well. I know the test ride will probably tell me a lot, but wanted to get your opinion.
I like both bikes. If, like me, you plan on 50% or more off pavement rides with camping I'd lean towards the Standard Himalayan with its 21 inch front tire and more luggage options. Also, with your heights, a tall seat may help. I just installed a Seat Concepts tall seat on my Himalayan and love it. The Scram is a fine bike but a bit more street oriented. It sports a 19 inch front tire and an inch less ground clearance. Though it did handle okay on gravel & dirt the larger tire of the standard Himalayan is a plus off roading. I put a bunch of miles on dirt with my standard Himalayan yesterday and plan to do the same today. Love these bikes. Wahoo!
@@forgottenmotorcycles Thank you! I was kind of leaning Himalayan, we will see what happens next week, but a local dealer has a few 2021 left, with 2023s about to come out I am hoping I can get a steal on a new one :)
@@elichampion7482 I was at a dealer last week. Watched them sell one for $4,100. The bike had about 4,000 miles on it and came with a three warranty that started on that day of purchase. Baxtercycle.com good luck and have fun :-)
I have a 36” inseam and have a tall Seat Concept on my Himalayan . By the time I rode it on a test ride and ended up sitting on the pillion, I knew it was a necessity.
Thanks for showing the shop. I love the fact that it looks like a place one could spend time in.

Such a beautiful country side 😍
Thank you 😌
i really like your videos Fuzzy, simple and crisp 😊
Thank you :) That Scram is a wonderful motorcycle.

I think you've got it right. Wahoo!

These are wonderful motorcycles. Don't let the horsepower number deter you from enjoying these wonderful motorcycles. Wahoo!

Cool … nice video … 🏍😎👍
Thanks, You need one on the Farm!
Do you have one of the new Hunter models yet?
I don't think they're available in the USA yet. I'll ask about them next time I'm at Baxter cycle. Can't wait to see one.
Having taken mine off road, yay.
How do you like yours?
@@forgottenmotorcycles Wahooo.
Are those bikes in the back room at Baxter for sale? Asking for a friend. 😁
Almost all of them are for sale :-) there's a couple that are not. Was in that magic room today.
I'm betting my wife just might buy me another bike, if I hint real hard this Christmas or near my Birthday in January.
first!
you got to it before I did!
