  • Looking at the 2024 Royal Enfield Bullet & Himalayan at Motorcycle Live 2023 plus plenty of other bikes too! If you've appeared in this video and don't want to because you told your wife you were seeing another woman instead then let me know and I'll blur you out
    Check out my project to repair and rebuild a Royal Enfield Classic 350 from a 2022 model Stolen & Recovered machine, part of a full series of episodes. Trying out Meteor & Hunter Tanks on a Reborn, will they fit??
    Thanks for watching and please subscribe if you'd like to see it through to the end!

    Meteor, bullet and classic can keep their 350 engine, it fits the kind of bike...but the hunter really needs that new 450. It would be perfect for a bike still fit for the city but more sporty than the others.

    Thank you for a glimpse into a British motorcycle show. It's too bad the majority of the bikes there are not available here in the States. Heck, we don't even have motorcycle shows, at least not in the San Francisco Bay Area. Well, we used to, but I can't even remember the last one I went to. At least we have a Royal Enfield dealership here. Can't wait to see the new Himalayan 452. It might be my next bike, if the price is right. The new Triumph 400 is really nice too, but the ride height may be too high for my short legs plus I much prefer wire wheels.

    • @GlynOC
      @GlynOC  8 месяцев назад +2

      Thanks for watching, Id love to ride around where you live! I sat on the 400 Scrambler and it didn't feel really tall even though I've got short legs, I'm sure it's not as high as the 452. The 452 felt good to sit on, substantial but not too big, I'd like to feel one off the stand to see if it's top heavy or awkward 👍

    Great to see all the bikes especially the Royal Enfield stand always was my favourite. Her in Australia now and don't think there is any similar show here and if there was it would probably be in Sydney or Melbourne at least 1000 kms from the gold coast. Never mind there is great biking roads and weather to match.....you cant have everything.

      I know, as I was panning down I thought my camera had glitched, I wasn't expecting that orange stripe. I think it's meant to fit into the 'sunshine vibe' but it's not necessary. The blue is a stunner, even nicer in person if that could be so. The 17" rear rim looks fab, white walls would suit it very well!!

    It's not for me, I'm afraid. If you want to see how they (Royal Enfield) SHOULD do seats, then go look at the conversion Max has just done over at "Sunday Rides". Comfortable and meaningful. Gone are the days when I am going to make a decision on the comfort level of a seat until I have ridden 100 miles. Then I will know for sure. As for the Rebel 500. That's the seat I have on mine and it's a damned torture device. My backside is screaming for forgiveness after 35 miles. Just awful.

    • @GlynOC
      @GlynOC  8 месяцев назад +1

      Excellent point, maybe they'll end up traded on ebay from people who don't get on with them like the other touring seats. At least you don't lose much doing that. That Rebel seat was tiny, about big enough for my cat! No wonder you don't enjoy it, have you replaced it?

      @@GlynOC Infact, it was one of the first things I did. But what you see in your video is not the factory seat. That is the tan version of the "Honda Special Main Seat" and I can tell you that the pain in your arse is definitely "Special". Almost every other replacement seat is coming from the US and is silly money. Plus you will get hit with extra import tax charges so it's just not worth it. I have located a fairly local motorcycle seat upholsterer and may well try use him to get this reshaped and padded. I would rather give this money to a local vendor in any case. It's not helped by the rear shocks.
