Hi Ian, thanks for your comment. They're a great dealership and that's why they deserve our support.

Great video Noel. it was nice to see Martin featured explaining the history of Hatfields in the village. As a boy growing up in Crowthorne, I can remember walking past Hatfields on my way to and from school. Since then I have bought my current bike from Hatfields and I have always received excellent service. Such a great dealership.

Thanks for your comment Andrew. I agree. Maybe we all need to make RE aware of this 👍. Great idea 👏👏

5 Stars are not enough ! Martin and the team at Hatfields should be dealer of the year every year !

Thanks for your comment Dave. Look forward to seeing you at the next DGR event

Love video great to see some many bikes,would like to come along, on my 1960 triumph thunderbird 6t maybe one day.

Looking at getting the new Bear 650 249 next year.

Thanks for your comment Scotty. I loaned that bike from my local RE Dealer and I have to say I had so much fun. As you can see from the Channel title and some of my other videos, I ride a 411 Himalayan. Again without loads of hp but, having riden bikes since around 10yrs old, at the age of 67 I am really loving just touring around. If I need to go far and crunch the motorway miles I put my bike on my trailer behind the car 😂

I rode a Candy Gold mid 70s Honda CB350 for several years when I was in my early to mid 20s. I had so much fun on that bike! I lived in Sacramento California, USA, and had that bike all over the California gold country, up around Lake Tahoe, and even took it up to Yosemite National park. I suspect that it had a bit more pull in the bottom than the RE Classic 350, but about the same top speed. At 59, I am about to get back into motorcycle riding, and will be purchasing a Classic 350 round about March, or April of 2025.

Thanks again for your comment Chris. I hope that you have subscribed to the channel and hit the 🔔 to remind you of all of the new videos that will be coming your way😊 Let me have some details on your Benelli and I'll pass them on to Simon for you because he is definitely in the market for a new bike 👍🎅

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your comments and totally agree, however I would also suggest that any form of "training " and/or assessment of basic riding skills for those new or returning riders is better than nothing 😊

BIKESAFE is not a training course. It is a workshop developed as an introduction to further advanced rider training for interested individuals. A taster if you like. Advanced riding cant be gleaned from a couple of hours of theory and an observed rideout with a mentor. Hours and hours with lots of smileage is needed before being prepared for an advanced test with the likes of the IAM Roadsmart, Rospa and others. Just wanted to give my tuppence worth. Yes. Done it all for many years !

Greetings from Sussex once again. Nice to see more content coming! I wish i'd gone to the show myself, so maybe next year. As you may remember i have a Himmi450 which I love, and my Benelli 702X is up for sale if your friend is interested in buying one. Only selling as it's not getting used enough! Anyway take care and enjoy your rides. Chris

Great idea Noel

Have to correct you, but on the RE stand they had a huge map showing 81 dealers currently

Many "Established" manufacturers, including the Japanese, are having parts, engines and complete bikes made in Asian countries including China, but are clinging to their "premium" pricing in Western markets, even though factory gate prices are but a fraction of Western retail. Otherwise known as greed, it will come, (is coming) back to bite. China will be the repeat of Japan in the early 60s. 20% VAT and 40 or more crated bikes in a container do not equate to double or more the price.

The Gap of Dunloe I believe. More horses than my horsepower that day.

Great views and scenery

Mmm. Comparing a roadster to a travel bike? Very different bikes, with different target markets.

Liked and subscribed. Slava Ukraine ! 🇺🇦

Thanks for your comment. Great bikes

Little.little.little missing your 900?

Hi ,great channel. I lived in Reading for ages, and so nice to see a lot of the roads and places I'm familiar with on your rides. I now have a Enfield Himalayan 450 after owning BMW GS for 20 years or more. What a brilliant bike. Quick as I want. Brilliant handling, really perky engine, and after road testing similar bikes (Triumph, KTM, CF Moto, etc) the Enfield was the one that put the biggest smile on my face and still does.

Great informative video guys, thank you. I have test ridden the Himalayan 452 but the Guerrilla appealed to me more. I found the Himalayan very comfortable and stable at speed, with great handling and reasonable wind protection, too, but I'm more into the naked bike thing. I mostly do rides down to the coast on slower twistie A and B roads so the wind protection isn't a requirement for me and I find the slightly quicker steering, on the Guerrilla, absolutely perfect. I've had my Guerrilla for just over a month now and finally finished running it in today (1250 miles) It's a brilliant little machine with enough get up and go to put a smile on my face 😁 By the way, if I had the money and space, I'd have the Himalayan too. Glad Paul took the plunge with the Himi 👍 Cheer for now, Phil (Somerset)

Thanks for this, very informative 👍

Thank you

Ok

Ideal solution for traveling, thanks for the info 👍

Thanks for your comment. It looks like they only do a screen for the Royal Enfield 650 Interceptor 😢

Madstad make the only screens worth buying imo. But quite expensive

A very comprehensive review. Great video as usual.

Jimi is off to the coast!

Looks like a grand day out on Jimi

Perfect thank you, lovely bike a little beauty, thx to all, stay safe.

👍👍👍👍

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed

There’s quite a bit of vibration on the bike through the foot pegs and bars ,enfeild should look at this for sales this might put people off a bit ,but it’s still good value and it dose do what it says on the tin ,it’s got the power now ,you can’t compare it with the 411 it’s a completely different bike people asked for this for years is it for you ,jimmy Australia age 72 still riding my bullet 350 fast enough for an old bugger like me 👍😎

Great to meet up with you in Killarney last weekend for the Bike Fest

Its 452 not 542😂.❤

You all looked so smart, what a good cause and fun day!

The colour of the little classic 350 is Halcyon Grey.

glad that you are loving it.

Wonderful footage. I am the proud owner of a vintage Yamaha RD 350 LT and would've loved to be there riding with you gentlemen.

DGR 2024 also held on 19th May INDIA(Mizoram)

Pre ordered 2023, road tested April 24.. and didn't like it at all. Vibration made it feel like the 125s I used to ride... cancelled order. Pick up shotgun 650 next week.

Great Video Noel, Thank you for making and posting this. Such a great day and I feel privileged to have been part of it.

There's something very appealing about simple utilitarian motorcycles and the new Himalayan 450 looks to be a great bike being offered at an amazing price. I now ride a Honda CB500X, but I have happy memories of riding 'thumpy' singles. Cheers.

My dad had a form of Parkinson's, therefore I appreciate your vision for the new channel. I have subscribed and will look forward to seeing the channel grow. I live in Devon and one of my favourite rides in your direction is the coastal route to Abbotsbury and the spectacular stretch of road behind Chesil beach.....perhaps we will be able to meet up sometime! I admire your positive attitude and wish you well with the new project. 👍

I like this bike

I've done bikesafe and as you say Noel it's definitely worth doing
