old school missile. 140 hp in a light package. A monster.

@@antoniocarvalho6720 in my other video!

bike is in europe...

i dont know the part number as i suspect there are more manufacturers but i suggest you look online for: "royal enfield classic 500 lockable fuel cap". However in my case i reverted to using the original because the lockable one develop a nasty rattle so i cannot recommend...

@@yarikeful if for weekend rides get an airhead boxer. They are also good investment value. I really cannot recommend newer bmw, just like with cars they started using horrible plastic parts where it should be metal. Cost cutting! The motor itself is bulletproof and built to last, the issue is the stuff around it... If you want old and reliable but not boxer you can find K series bikes almost for free today. Those are probably the most reliable euro bikes I can think of especially the 750cc.

Si. Hoy en dia quedan muy pocas y me parece que no son apreciadas. En mi opinion es un tesoro de historia industrial de un pais y se merecen mas carino...

@@emmanuelmartin1238 also the low flying late model Spitfires are period correct 😊

@@Corvidoextraviado lastima que no han recibido en su dia mas respaldo por parte del gobierno, como por ejemplo Harley D. en EEUU o Royal en India.

fara grija, motorul in sine e utilaj de 300k km, fara gluma. Sa fiu sincer l-am dat doar pt ca nu aveam timp si chef de anumite lucrari de intretinere mai implicate, ma profilez pe moto mai simple. Am monocilindri de 500 si japoneze ieftine, dar cele mai serioase drumuri cu bmw le-am facut, fara probleme.

The Absectomy is MOT (ITV) failure reason where I live, so no option for me

thanks

I actually did ride a springer. They are indeed insanely heavy...but their center of gravity is very low which makes it easier. In europe many times you need to park on an incline between tightly packed scooters so any bike above the weight of a japanese 600 would be complicated to move backwards uphill.

I agree. I have a goldwing 1800. The 1150 is light.

@@davidroberts283 I switched to old style 500 singles and air cooled UJM. Light and easy to work on.

European bikes and people are lighter than Americans.

hey there. I'm experiencing similar symptoms with my R1150R. Is this a serious issue that needs to be addressed asap??

1. clutch lever pressed to change gears = rattling stops. 2. let go of the clutch lever (clutch engaged) = constant rattling noise

@@ddoggycanada exactly, nothing to worry about👍

​@@ddoggycanadaif your bike is close or over 100.000 km and clutch has never been changed you might want to think about it and if do it tell workshop to inspect the primary shaft spline ends. If bike is around 40-50 thou km that could be more worrying... but WORST case it can leave you stranded case in which clutch and primary are due anyway. Make sure you replace with aftermarket improved primary and it should last literally forever. Until then, follow the golden rule: if it aint broken dont fix it and enjoy the ride. My 2cents.

got my particular rattle check from bmw mechanic, if hes wrong im wrong. You also have a point though, thanks for the input.

yeah the older boxers are simpler

Beemerboneyard makes these bikes easy and cheap to fix. I have an 04 1150R, have over 40k miles I've put on it,i do the valves, carb sync , oil changes myself. Really rarely ever have any issue with it. Solid bike and cheap to ride. Paid 3.2k and found out Haggerty insurance, my provider, has it's worth 33k as the midnight black, 80 anniversary edition of boxer. So there's that, rear ended my wife on it.... Long story.... They put out 15k to repair it. My wife insisted, she's really attached to it, i wanted to take $ and buy 3 more bikes. 😄

Oh yeah and removed abs right off

the ideal number of bikes to get is the number you have plus just one more :)

@@DonnyBrisco cant do this here in Spain, it will fail inspection 😭

The V5 was the technical peak of Sanglas that made it to mass production and their final bid to break into export markets. Didn't really work out though.

On a par with the Yamaha SR500, just a lot more expensive. @@poatemaine6200

and that is why the japanese won. Same would have happened to HD or Enfield in an unprotected market.

sanglas ... beautiful bike

Thanks. To me Sanglas is in the same category with Harley & Royal Enfield. All very sturdy old tech "big" roadbikes, a shame that Sanglas was not helped to survive by some kind of protection, like HD and Royal. If it wasn't for government's intervention and protectionism in the home market, neither HD nor Royal would exist today. Also gear change with the heel is very interesting on Sanglas :) I can't change on it in the normal way

gear change is just like any other bike, no changing with the heal.

@@jibjab351 the travel of the pedal is very long therefore quite impractical, its an old & known issue.

mine came without. I suspect the dealer thought they were packaging lol. Sounds good to me and the airflow is probably better. From what I hear they dry up sometimes and fall on their own. I wouldn´t sweat it. Keeping the stock exhaust on these last models is far more important (unless you map the fueling).

1)At 60km in the engine simply cut. The problem was the fuel pump relay was simply not plugged in all the way. I reseated it better and no problem whatsoever. 2) one of the 2 screws holding sidestand flew away at some point, replaced with a longer one. Checked screws, all else is fine. Its a dinosaur concept with long stroke and pushrods, noise is normal. You should hear my other vintage 500cc singles, you would run away screaming. Compared to them the Enfield is a rolls-royce. Ademas, con este numero 100% la moto esta en Espana 😉. Ojo que para autopista no vale mucho. Le gusta 80-100 tranquilos.

Yt no me avisó de la respuesta, acabo de verla 😂. Pues si, #562 is in Spain too. Una maravilla! no corre, vibra mucho, a 120-ish empieza a temblar la dirección, es perezosa cuando le pides chicha en ciertos momentos... Pero siempre que te montas en ella te saca una sonrisa 😊Motociclismo puro. Me paso parecido, tornillo del embellecedor del escape voló. Luego parece que el último mantenimiento en casa oficial le metieron aceite demás y me fugaba por un par de sitios. Lo cambie por un motul bueno (y la cantidad justa) y pista! Le voy a poner un alza-manillares, que soy bastante alto y mi espalda me hace una C perfecta al conducir😂 También estoy pensando en cambiarle el escape por un long punjab... Estoy en duda... Internet está lleno de foreros diciendo que al ser motor efi lo puedes romper Por lo demás, máquina increíble 😊, disfrútala!

​​@@optymus9933yo la he dejado con el escape de origen pero hay tambien muchos que dicen que no le pasa nada si no le das calentones. Lo que puede pasar en teoria es quemar la valvula escape por sobrecalientamiento ya que la mezcla de fabrica es muy pobre. Le he metido tambien una sonda de temperatura tipo tapon de aceite y a duras penas me pasa de 70-80 grados, tarda mucho en calentarse pero tampoco le doy caña. Las fugas tipo "perspiracion" son algo muy normal y no pasa nada. Es una moto tranquila pensada para calles tipo 1960😂.

@@poatemaine6200 gracias por la respuesta 😊

i love it too

congrats! they almost all are low mileage. A lot of people buy them, get bored and they just sit in garages.

on the bright side, when its done properly, it might outlast the bike.

for everyday ride, the UCE. For collection and Sunday rides, the iron, preferably 100% original.

@@poatemaine6200 what do you mean by 100% original? Like all original parts of engine that came with it brand new? I think some engine parts would need replacement.

@@SurajSinghTomarArya I mean as close as it was from factory without crazy customization. Doesnt matter if parts were changed as long as they are like the original ones.

Glad it was helpful!

12v accesory socket

@@poatemaine6200 Very useful to recharge the battery, e.g. when winterized😊

@@FamMenn yep. On my other bikes I use that little cable with a socket that comes as trickle charger accessory so I never have to access the battery. Also where I live is riding season year round 😛

you should. The last real Enfield.

an amazing bike, instant classic, only for those who know!

la moto più comoda che ho avuto. Mia moglie è ancora arrabbiata perché la vendo. Sì, l'accesso alla batteria è ridicolo. Ho dovuto smontare il serbatoio, svitare i radiatori e un milione di viti solo per sostituire una batteria scarica.

@@poatemaine6200 Honestly, yes the battery underneath the tank is a surprising design choice. But I do not see it as a real issue: I ride among others a 2004 R1150R and changed the battery every 5 to 7 yrs, so what? Buy quality batteries only and a smart charger to keep the battery in good state of health, and that's it🤷‍♂

@@FamMenn that works if you have a actual house. In big european cities is more complicated. So choices are ride often, or ride often 😀

idk in India...but look online or in motorcycle shops for a LOCKABLE one with a key - they are made to fit multiple brands. Or just get it from RE directly, but that one is simple, no key afaik.

normally I am no fan of black editions, but I believe the paintwork on these Enfields is more resilient than their chrome. I already have some issues with chromed parts. High humidity where I live.

It is beautiful but I think you will also ride the harley. Unless its that insufferable Vrod .

@@poatemaine6200 no VROD ! It's 2007 Nightster 1200 ,Bobber custom. Grew up on Triumph Trophy 250, single, so old ,slow and vibratory is nostalgia for me! Ride safe!

I picked up a 2018 in matte black. Very hard to find in the US. Had to buy out of state.

in the states is another world. What I do like is you guys get to buy vintage Harleys for cheap. In europe you will shell out 15k+ for a working one.

sold the bmw, wife is still upset

Appreciate that

sold locally in Spain amigo ,)

Sounds ok to me. You can see normal start up process here ruclips.net/video/9mkd93e7lKs/видео.html watch the dash lights

yep, the engine itself is quite reliable, everything around it perhaps not so much, mainly because of the complexity and the silly engineering mistakes like the Getrag transmission not engaging properly with the shaft, cheapskate plastics where it should be metal and so on. If I will getting another BMW it would only be an old airhead, /5 or /6 series.

1. As it seems you lift, you should have no problem, but for a scrawny person I do not recommend it, its over 250kg. 2 Yes, good torque and power, its a big engine, albeit different than a Japanese inline four, is not so revvy and torque starts VERY low. For its weight is agile, but my previous 750 GSXR would have ran circles around it. 3. I would say yes, if you rely on dealerships or decent shops. Imagine to purge the brakes you have to do front circuit, then rear circuit, then ABS circuit. If you want to change clutch you basically split the bike in half. I recommend an earlier airhead BMW, they used to be sooo much simpler back in the day.

The Telelever handles wonderfully,loves to attack the twisties and the oilhead motor loves to be revved...

@@ziyasrevenge there used to be a time when BMW had good engineering and a lot of common sense. Not so much in the last 20 odd years. Perhaps is a change of philosophy in the sense that lately you are supposed to take the bike to a shop for them to make $$$ rather than fix it yourself. Otherwise the battery under tank idea should have never left the meeting room.

i was surprised how well telelever works

only second hand, not new I believe.

honestly i love it more each day

अब और नहीं

I kind of see why, given that the new models have nothing to do with the old OHV. But I would honestly be just as happy with a second hand one with 3000 plus on the odo. These bikes are seldom used to their potential, people get bored and they end up as garage decoration. I bought this bike not just because looks, but for the authenticity with a touch of modern conveniences such as abs and FI. Of course you can buy an old bike but in my experience 60 year old bikes are very inconvenient to own and especially use.

I love it too lol.

in my other videos! All stock no aftermarkets.

I agree, that's one of the reasons I went for the last 500 ohv. It was clear that the new 350s with the modern ohc architecture, while more performant and reliable (allegedly) were going to lose the last traits of classic singles. But that is a nuance you catch much easier if you had close contact with old thumpers at some point before trying these enfields. The new 350 sounds good, looks good, but the feeling just aint right... Just like in a dream, you can tell something is amiss.

wow that seems like a very low number out of the 200 (?) or so that made their way to that part of the world (brit isles & eire). I guess if you really wanted one you can watch the second hand market. I have already seen a few pop up in my home market.

yes, thats why i like it better than japanese bikes :)

honestly is downright dangerous.
