I too ride a GT 650 here in Dubai.. As you said, with relaxed hands and correct cafe racer riding stance you wont feel any pain, and is actually very comfortable for long open road 5 - 6 hr rides too.. But those jumeirah and internal roads with lots of signals and stops in between can get a bit tiring.
Not sure why this video has attracted a lot of annoying, ignorant comments, but I appreciate your perspective. The video doesn't have much depth, but it's worth watching, nonetheless. I already own the Dr Mayhem variant with plenty of accessories and modifications, which have made an awesome bike even better.
Very Nicely made video. 🎉🎉 I am from India and I own the same varient. Talking about the wrist pain, it evades slowly as you get used to it. The handle of interceptor can be fitted with this and this will solve the problem. The bike is heavy, so feels bit hard to come out from parking. Beside this, this bike really give lot of fun to ride.
Thanks a lot for your comment and congratulations on getting this beast. Oh yes, it is absolute fun riding this bike and all the pain points I mentioned, don't really matter for the joy you get in return.. happy and safe riding!
Fantastic clip I have the mr clean model ,you can get fork risers off ebay from cooperb in the uk thats what im getting fitted . I used to work in al ain for the uae airforce in the late 90s Cheers Dave from Scotland
Hey David, thanks for watching the video. Mr clean looks so amazing! I had a difficult time choosing between that and Dr mayhem. Great to know you used to work in UAE, lets catch up if you happen to visit Dubai anytime. Cheers and happy riding!
@@syedfaraz22 Thanks Faraz ,yeah i was an aircraft technician on the hawk aircraft in al-ain ,great times . The gt650 is a fantastic machine although a bit low for me . Im getting fork risers to attach the clip on handle bars above the top triple tree ,they are from a company called cooperb on ebay im the uk ,it brings them up about an inch much more comfy and still keeps the cafe racer look Cheers Dave
Faraz it cost around 50,000 Shekels in Israel(Roughly around Rs 11 lakh). This is the only reason I am still using public transport 😪😪. Bikes and cars are overpriced in Israel. Btw good detailed review, would like to hear the bike go on higher speeds on Dubai roads.
omg that’s crazy! Its the cost of 3 bikes. Would it cost cheaper to buy it in India and get it shipped via the sea route? I know its a hassle and includes taxes but just a thought... And thanks for your comment, will try to make a video on its sound at higher speeds.
@@syedfaraz22 well as you mentioned in your video that the bike has to be according to European standards and the bike in India is according to Indian standards BS6 so the govt might not approve the registration.
@@orenshirgaonkar1342 bs6 is a copy of euro 5, with an additional saree guard (a traditional female dress). Don't you guys have import duty? I feel like if RE is officially selling bikes there, you can't get it any cheaper. I feel that with duties + taxes, you with end up with a costlier bike from india.
Hi Adarsh, thank you for watching :) There are excellent motorcycle groups to be a part of and I get to ride with them every weekend. Not really from Mirdif but from different parts and we meet up at a common point. Let me know if you are looking specifically at the Royal Enfield group in UAE and I can help you join them.
Great bike... going to look at the Dr. Mayhem and Black Magic on Saturday. What kind of range does it get on a full tank (since it appears that the fuel gauge sucks!).
You can hit around 185 miles/300 kms on a full tank. Also, the fuel gauge works fine after you go a certain distance. I noticed it doesn't work right after you lift the bike up from its side stand and start the engine. Hope this helps! By the way, which color did you choose?
The actual reason for high prices of these automobiles, any vehicle which are imported is additional import tax on foreign country manufactured vehicles, India all Range rovers, jaguars Ferraris are almost twice then priced in Western countries...
Sorry I had missed to reply to you. I have mentioned the cost in the end of the video. It costed me AED 25000 back then. Prices might have changed now. Also, there is a new bigger Royal Enfield Showroom on Umm Suqeim St.
Hi @Moon Salah hope you are doing good. Best place to check would be Dubizzle since you can get in touch with the seller directly. Also try your luck by calling up Royal Enfield and checking with them if they have any used bikes. All the best!
Haha I understand bro! Visit this store - Royal Falcon (+971 50 394 8866) its actually a motorcycle service center in Al Quoz, very close to the RE showroom, where they sell spare parts as well. You can try different exhausts and choose the one you like. They have AEW, short bottle and others... those on my bike are called Gursewak. Hope this helps.Happy riding!
Hi Partho, as mentioned in the video, height is not a big concern. Even short people can ride it without any problem. To give you a number, anything above 5 feet 3 inches should be ok.
I have mentioned it in the end of the video. It costed me AED 25000 back then. Prices might have changed now. Also, there is a new bigger Royal Enfield Showroom on Umm Suqeim St.
Oh thats bad. I have had RE Thunderbird 350 for 7 years back in India and had changed its silencer 3 months after purchase, it had not caused any issues. But thanks for sharing, will be cautious 👍🏻
You will not cease engine , when fitting pipes to it let it run from cold to normal running temp for 15 minutes & ECU will relearn through o2 sensors do not rev at all . After that it's fine .
The characteristics of engine is such that ot gives its power at low and mid range which infact is what needed in indian roads with torque available at low end and does its purpose 😀
Nope. It has adequate performance. 0-100 km/h in 5 to 6 seconds is more than enough for sensible but spirited riding in most conditions. It takes little time to exceed the speed limit, and you can use all its power without overstressing the engine. If you want more power, it's because you want to ride like an idiot, putting yourself and others at greater risk.
Thank you for watching the video and for commenting. Well, it is still an air cooled engine with a radiator that uses engine oil to keep it cool. This is why you see Royal Enfield calling it, 'air/oil cooled engine' Nevertheless, I should have used the same term of 'air/oil cooled' in the introduction. Cheers :)
Hi! Thank you. I am using a round magnetic holder which has a 3M tape to its base. It sat perfectly on the center of the clip-on handlebars. Its sturdy and strong. There are plenty options - Ugreen, Promate, Earldom... Just note that I am starting to grow a little apprehensive about their negative impact on the phone’s battery, not that I have had issues but I try not to use the magnet all the time.
My heart really beats for an RE now !! Thanks for the intro Faraz !!

Very nice review
Haha I've seen the same bike in the same colour. Maybe it was you riding it!
Good video mate

Hi , can u plz share the details,where toh by in dubai ,,
Hi. The Royal Enfield showroom is in Al Quoz. Google maps will take you directly there as thats the only one in Dubai
Great video. Take off the sissy bar and it looks even better😉
Oh yeah absolutely! Without the sissy bar and with the single seat and cowl, it would look the best.
Thanks for watching the video.
I think you've forwarded too much on the riding part but no worries solid review
Haha yeah! Didnt want the video to be too long. Thank you for commenting!
Little curious about those tyres are those tube tyres or tubeless!
Tube
Thanks @Nikita for responding. Yes these are tube tyres :)
I am from India...u r review excellent 👌👍👏
Thank you! Glad you liked the video.
BUDDY HOW MUCH MILEAGE GIVING AFTER EXHAUST INSTALLED
How many feet is comfortable for a short biker..
Height is not a problem bro. Take a test ride and if you can ride it, thats all that matters 😁
@@syedfaraz22 ok bro ❤️
Dubai ho ya India we all do the same thing 😂😂 " 7:13 the thing am talking about".
haha.. I understood when I read first half of your comment. Kya Karein, aadat se majboor!

Chouette machine 👍
Bro, I need the exhaust, I am in DXB. Stock exhaust its killing me... help!!!
Haha I understand bro! Visit this store - Royal Falcon (+971 50 394 8866) its actually a motorcycle service center in Al Quoz, very close to the RE showroom, where they sell spare parts as well.

Hope this helps.Happy riding!
@@syedfaraz22 I know those guys, Your exhaust came from them?
@@faizansaeed yes I called them up and made sure they had those pipes. Gursewak are made in Delhi, India and these guys had them imported.
@@syedfaraz22 awesome, thanks bro.
This is the Brand of INDIA 🇮🇳
Hi, Do you have RE riders Club..? Or any Motor Bike Riders Club in Dubai..?
If yes… How can I join with u guys..?
How much height require for these bike
Hi Partho, as mentioned in the video, height is not a big concern. Even short people can ride it without any problem. To give you a number, anything above 5 feet 3 inches should be ok.
My height just 5.4☝️🥵
How much does it cost you in AED?
I have mentioned it in the end of the video. It costed me AED 25000 back then. Prices might have changed now. Also, there is a new bigger Royal Enfield Showroom on Umm Suqeim St.
I have the same bike and same colour and guess what I am 5.2”
Thats nice to know bro! Happy and safe riding...
Exhaust look so bulky, your should buy little bit short and thin exhaust.
Haha... May be ill change them sometime in the future... but I love their sound for now 😊
GÖSTERGELER DAHA KOLAY OKUNMASI İÇİN AÇISI BİRAZ DAHA YUKARI YANİ SÜRÜCÜYE ODAKLI OLMALI
You will cease your engine with those after market exhausts... it has happened to many beware...
Oh thats bad. I have had RE Thunderbird 350 for 7 years back in India and had changed its silencer 3 months after purchase, it had not caused any issues. But thanks for sharing, will be cautious 👍🏻
You will not cease engine , when fitting pipes to it let it run from cold to normal running temp for 15 minutes & ECU will relearn through o2 sensors do not rev at all .
After that it's fine .
Rubbish. Completely unfounded assertion.
Ghoroob?
I live in 12b
Yup! A17. We should catch up sometime 🙂
@@syedfaraz22 would love to
For 650cc engine, power it produces is too low.
It's not racing bike.. just mid range cruiser
The characteristics of engine is such that ot gives its power at low and mid range which infact is what needed in indian roads with torque available at low end and does its purpose 😀
Nope. It has adequate performance. 0-100 km/h in 5 to 6 seconds is more than enough for sensible but spirited riding in most conditions. It takes little time to exceed the speed limit, and you can use all its power without overstressing the engine. If you want more power, it's because you want to ride like an idiot, putting yourself and others at greater risk.
It’s oil cool engine not air cool engine
Thank you for watching the video and for commenting.
Well, it is still an air cooled engine with a radiator that uses engine oil to keep it cool. This is why you see Royal Enfield calling it, 'air/oil cooled engine'
Nevertheless, I should have used the same term of 'air/oil cooled' in the introduction. Cheers :)
It's air and oil cooled. Do your research before posting.
Hey Faraz! Great video, what phone mount are using to get that centre position on the forks?
Hi! Thank you.
I am using a round magnetic holder which has a 3M tape to its base. It sat perfectly on the center of the clip-on handlebars. Its sturdy and strong. There are plenty options - Ugreen, Promate, Earldom...
Just note that I am starting to grow a little apprehensive about their negative impact on the phone’s battery, not that I have had issues but I try not to use the magnet all the time.
@@syedfaraz22 Amazing! Thank you for the comprehensive response.
