Price has now been confirmed at a bargain £4,599!
Good price! But a fair bit more than the meteor. Is it worth it over that? Seem very similar?
Ofcourse , it is capable of those occasional offroad trails which the Meteor is definately not
,,
Wow you pay a lot of money for bikes in the UK.
United States it’s 5,099 plus doc fee plus “shipping fees “ then tax title putting it over 6,000usd a bit steep I think it can get outran by 250cc twin bikes priced the same or less out the door. Sad about thats
I've been waiting for this review. Great to see you are the first to review the bike. There's nothing wrong with a utilitarian motorcycle. With the way the world is going I can see more people using utilitarian motorcycles as their daily transport
Been looking forward to seeing this bike since the hype, and hasn't failed my expectations. Yes, the welds are a bit ugly, but then as long as they do what they are supposed to do, and I too wondered if the exhaust was stainless steel, hence the early 'discolouration'. A roll bag on the back, and some very pleasant weekends away around the lakes, or the borders area would be great.
Just got three thousand miles on my Scram , and fitted a Tec camshaft , loved the Scram , but the cam replacement really does improve the bikes engine torque range , less bogging down on second gear and pulls far smoother in 4th at 30 mph , engine is quieter to , think its because it
hasnt got all the decompression tranclament on the replacement cam to rattle about , yourwelcome to try it , thanks , great review
Enjoyed that. Thanks, Andy. I was pretty impressed by the bike, too, when I rode it last week. The only thing putting me off buying one is the rumoured arrival of a more modern 450cc/40hp version next year.
I wouldn’t worry about a newer version next year you will have swapped twice before then 😀😉😉
That rumour feels all wrong
Don’t think enfield will get 40hp out of a 450cc (presumably) air cooled (and maybe oil cooled) single. If it has that kind of power, it’ll probably be liquid cooled and have a different (higher revving) engine character. Might be nice, but not what enfields are about for me
It will take almost 2 years to release in international markets. I think for now, SCRAM is totally worth it
@@Gnerko123 hey buddy its true lots of spy videos out on CZcams checkout
Thanks for this review, the first ride on UK roads of this latest iteration of the Himalayan. Just a quick point about the exhaust system on the bike, which looks identical to the exhaust on the latest Himalayan to my eyes. You mention discolouration and rust. The system is stainless steel and as such can't rust in the sense that it'll corrode significantly, as is the case with mild steel. It will however discolour due to oxidisation. This effect is accelerated due to heat. It quickly reaches a point of stability beyond which it will discolour no further. I have a three year old Himalayan with this patina and I quite like the look. It's very common with stainless exhausts and whilst it's not to everyones liking the upside is you'll never need to replace it because it's rusted to hell.
Love the looks,reminds me of my old Honda SLR 650,great bike which I had for 9 years,gotta agree about the welds.
Great video Andy.👍🏻
I've got a SLR 650 at the moment. Great bike.
Always enjoy the content on this channel. You Brits got balls to ride motorcycles on those narrow roads!
Man. Much more honest review than I would have assumed.
Interesting Video Andy.
I've recently changed from a BMW k1200 to the Himalayan. I do think that as an owner of one of these kind of hikes that you have to accept that these bikes are built down to a price.
My Himmy is 250 miles old and the exhaust can has done the same. It's nothing a bit of autosol won't sort though.
The welds are indeed rubbish but I accept this. If this is a problem then buyers need to look else where.
I would like a Triumph Tiger but at the best part of twice the price I dont believe I would have more fun on a tiger than I am on my new Himmy.
I can throw this bike about. Probably drop it on a green lane and then repair it without the need to take out a loan.
The engine ln these bikes whilst sounding very under powered is actually really good fun. It has enough power to get me across the country loaded up and scratch the local country lanes.
One observation on the 411 is that the Speedo drive looks different on the front right fork. Not sure i saw the cable coming down the fork?
Visited my local RE dealer today and they had a couple in stock. The speedo drive is different. its missing from the front wheel. I could not see the rear wheel in detail but I have to assume its fitted there somewhere... It does make the front look a bit tidier not having the speedo electronics floating around.
Good review that, I’d reckon with a Tec Parts performance cam and Lextec exhaust it will be much improved. A great bike for upgrading at affordable prices.
Royal Enfield has been caught testing several times their Himalayan 450 liquid cooled motorcycle producing about 40 horses. Expected launch is sometime next year. I hope we will get to see TMF review it.
Me too!
@@TheMissendenFlyer Hopefully won't be too functional looking like the 411s.
I bet it will be! I rather like the looks of the 411.....
@@TheMissendenFlyer You mean the Himalayan 411?
Liquid cooled? Ugh, here we go, heavier and more complex.
Another great video TMF. I especially like the proper full-length front mudguard. Why don't more manufacturers for sensible mudguards?
I’m so pleased you have reviewed the Scram, I have been waiting for this motorcycle to show itself in my local RE dealership, along with a price tag, I feel that what’s happening in the world with regards to energy costs etc may push the price a little a higher than originally planned. I had considered putting one of these in my garage, it would still be good value however I’m a little disappointed by a couple of you observations,namely the welds and exhaust already showing signs of deterioration. Big thanks for another great review..
My pleasure!
Since the Scram shares, most of its components with the Himalayan which came out in 2016 the flaws too have been carried forward. Weld quality on the frame and headstock is crude and Quality levels have improved since the Himalayan first made its debut, but there’s still a lot to be desired. Also, a point to note is that RE Interceptor and GT 650, Classic and the Meteor 350 are all the bikes that came after 2018 by then RE have vastly improved their Build Quality this is the reason why the Interceptor and the latter released bikes have better build quality. According to me RE Scram 411 uses the same old Tooling as the Himalayan hence the poor weld quality. It's better to wait for the new Himalayan 450 which will be launched next year and will have a better build quality and more power & torque.
Thank you for your insights, Sohan Amin.
Some people would prefer the simplicity and back to basics of this model though. Maybe some good deals on this model as and when the 450 emerges onto the market
Bollocks! I have just bought a Himalayan - i did not know a new one was coming out.
@@Jsixseven It will still take a year. RE has few other bikes in pipeline that will come b4 450 himalayan.
@@Jsixseven oh nothing to worry , the new Himalayan is gonna be way too different from these. It’s gonna be a Liquid cooled 450 cc high revving machine. Not even close to these beauties. The 450 is going to be a proper off roader with Enfield’s looking at Dakar too .. Moreover the Himalayan has had its polishings and what you get today has to be the best iteration of that 400 cc ever. Congratulations , safe riding !
Great first ride.
As an owner, and fan, of the Himalayan, I'm quite interested in the new Scram 411.
Very similar to my Himalayan, but, I must agree with you, 'much' better looking!
I've never been a huge fan, of the 'looks', of the Himalayan, but love the bike for what I bought it for.....
Commuting, bimbling around the local back lanes, and a little light green laning.
Looking forward to more videos.
Grumps.
Another quality review once again Andy, if the price is circa 4.5k or there abouts I think the dodgy welds and suspect exhaust might well be acceptable for me especially if this was to be a second bike. I like the look of the white and red colour scheme as it reminds me of my first Bike a 1977 Yam DT175, showing my age there 😃.
Yes £4,599 as it happens - bargain....
I think lots of reviewers are missing the point with the new single cylinder RE bikes. I have a 350 classic and bought it primarily for transport as I would the Scram or any of the other singles. So if you start from will it get you cheaply, safely and comfortably to work or out and about on your daily travels then anything it does over and above this is a bonus. I don’t have and don’t need a tripper or other electronics but heated grips fitted for £100 worth every penny. Until recently I had a 1098 Ducati and a 990 KTM, fantastic bikes, but hugely impractical as an everyday mode of transport. As far as fashion is concerned I’m guessing that your gear plus helmet, etc. adds up to at least a quarter of the price of the bike? Makes a bit of a nonsense if you are looking to buy a cost efficient and practical mode of transport. I can see it, and get it, in terms of hobby/Leisure vehicles but if we want more people riding bikes then it needs to be attainable for anyone looking to progress from pedal power.
I think a lot of reviewers forget how cheap the bikes are. The Interceptor always gets compared to the Bonneville which is 50% more expensive and has a bigger engine. That's just not a fair comparison. I've got a Bonneville and I don't think it's really £3000 better than an Interceptor, it's a bit better of course but not that much
Love it.
All you need to travel on. A roll bag on the back and off you go. So simple. Nothing complicated at all to go wrong or worry about.
Nice one.
Happy travels 👍
Bit late to the party on this one, but glad that you made a video of this bike as I’m looking at buying one, and having bought a Versys 650 on the back of your review of that bike, I was really happy with it.
I like the look of the scram411 but the welds were disappointing. The exhaust needs a replacement full system and I’d remove the ugly grab handle and a little more power would be nice too. But I’d definitely use it off road. Love the look of the jacket too.
Great video thanks Andy, bike does look fantastic and as an ex Himalayan owner I'd be very interested to have a test ride on one. The saddle looks a lot more comfortable than the Himi, and seat height is lower which for me is better plus the bike is lighter in weight, always a bonus! Styling is spot on for the model and in my view the engine is a peach for a long stroke single thumper. The exhaust looks likes it's a carry over from the Himi in which case it won't rust as it's made from Stainless Steel (all be it not the best quality) but with a bit of work they do polish up nicely. For the projected cost it looks like another winner for RE. Very nice.👍😊
I'm glad you mentioned the snappy jacket at the end! Excellent video!
Thank you!
Excellent review Andy, fantastic weather let's hope for lots more 🤗🙏
Another great review Andy👌 Girlfriend rides Himalayan which I also like but not entirely convinced about the looks. Scram looks much better IMO. Slightly improved performance and braking might be coming from the weight loss😆 Recently moved to Salisbury plains so this would be ideal bike and especially at this price point. Agree with you on the colour scheme, white and red looks awesome and it’s the Polish flag 🇵🇱 😃😃😃
OH yes , like the jacket , looking like a Dobbie fashion show. 10 out of 10😀
You aren't just a vlogger mate. Motorcycle Journalist. The most sensible in my opinion.
I’m not a journalist I can assure you!
@@TheMissendenFlyer You are only not a journalist in the best ways.
Really enjoyable review, nice to have this one in the market! I think the CB500X is a different category altogether, better in all aspects (engine, resale, fuel economy, comfort). I probably would compare this to the Husqvarna 401, the KTM 390 Adv, or the BMW GS310.
Looks like a prime candidate for loads of mods and a fun to ride as well
looks pretty sweet, i will check it out once its available
Great review (as usual),was thinking about this bike and definitely on the radar.Will wait to see what they have coming down the pipe,but a real looker for sure,thanks.
excellent review mate, thank you. me and my mate just ordered 2 scram 411s should be with us by sat' 13th, cant wait to see her in the flesh as it were. looked at reviews/spec on bike and for £4455 brand new 23' plate whats not to like!!
Great review as always, thankyou for all the effort that you put into these videos, gotta love the royal enfields they are creating some nice machines.
They are indeed!
Great honest review at least royal Enfield aren’t pretending to be something they are not great value for money 💰 to someone.. Since I purchased my Bmw r1250 gs adventure nothing else excites me in my opinion I think I have the best of everything . I enjoyed your review Andy top notch mate👍🇦🇺
Thanks for introducing that to us. They’ve done very similar changes to what I fancied doing on a standard himi namely ditch the ugly high lever beak/additional fender and pull the headlight back closer to the bars. Cheers
Good to have you along as ever!
EXCELLENT review and comments.
Thank You.
Thanks for watching!
Looks like a nice bike and would probably work well as a city commuter. Personally I'd maybe switch to tubeless tires just to make it a little more easier to live with.
New series coming …. ‘Scran on a Scram with Geoff and Dan’ …. 😂
I'm looking for my first bike. I saw this and couldn't believe the price. Definitely one to consider. The exhaust will probably need an upgrade if it's likely to rust but a nice looking bike
The tarnish on the exhaust is due to heat on the stainless steel. It goes an uneven bronze over time. Uneven perhaps because the heating wouldn't be consistent with all the cat and baffler gubbins in there. The later Ural sidecars had this kind of exhaust and they look the same. I must admit I'm not a fan of this either but a stainless zorst shouldn't rust out, so that's nice. I guess it counts as a quality touch. Love the channel keep up the great work. My latest ride is a vintage Dnepr sidecar which, given it's Ukrainian heritage, is nice given the state of things there right now. All the best from Brisbane Australia.
It’s a pretty good looking bike, I’m not a fan of the big yellow badge though. If it’s around £4500, it’s a good value bike, but I’ve been looking at second hand bikes around 5k, including at your friends at super bike factory, and you can get a lot more bike for that sort of money, even with low mileage. Great review and nice to be riding in the sun. 👍
Always appreciate your reviews Mr Flyer.
I appreciate that!
I like the looks of the scram 411 it’s nicely styled and hopefully at a good price point, shame about the quality of the welds, but on first impressions it seems to be a nice bike
Might have to see about making room in the stable for one
At £4,599 it's a bargain!
There must be a poem in there somewhere next time you meet up with Geoff and Dan on this bike???🤣
Well I made a comment some time ago on my own channel about quality and finish on Indian and Chinese machines I really want to like this bike but they (RE) have done themselves no favours handing out a press bike with quality issues reminiscent of old British bikes and up and coming Japanese machines in the late 60's /70's this isn't the way to gain new customers I would rather pay more and buy a European equivalent nice review Andy 💚
Thanks for watching!
Some people can’t bear to look at asymmetrical headlights or hexagonal reflections on paintwork. I wondered what my thing would be and now I remember! I had a car where my brain just couldn’t cope with not having 30 MPH on the display. In the end I had to put a sticker in the right place so I could keep my eyes on the road.
We have the same weather, but down here it is autumn
Bought it here in Norway and it is a fine maschine for our country without motorways but instead small roads and roadhighs where it is good to have the hp in the bottom. A great little superbike
Thanks Andy - and well done being one of the first UK reviewers too!
Looks really nice, I'd definitely add one to my garage given the space (and money to run more than one bike). The finish is disappointing though - looks like it came out of a different factory to the rest of the RE range - who's quality seems to improve with every new bike (especially the 350 Classic for example). Hopefully, they'll jump on this quickly before it ruins their current (high) reputation is affected?
Yes defo a drop in build quality on this one judging by this example…
In terms of looks it reminds me a bit of my old Yamaha RS200.
A great looking bike, I am sure RE will sell loads of them. Shame about the look of the welds and potential rust on the exhaust system
Looks a great value for money motorcycle which Royal Enfield seem to go above and beyond. Like the attire Andy particularly the Jacket.
Can’t wait to watch this later when I get home this is a bike I’m really interested in 😁
Just bought one. Test rode one and I couldn't fault it.
I'm pretty sure the exhaust is stainless and will clean up fine, it's the cat and lean running emissions that cause the discoloring.
Going to hopefully have a look at one of these this weekend (well tomorrow) down at Loegria in Brockenhurst in the New Forest.
Cool - nice down there isn't it....
@@TheMissendenFlyer Brilliant down there - took the Mrs and had a bite of Lunch in The Buttery before stopping off at the Village Butcher for a little New Forest Treat! Now torn between the Scram 411 and the Meteor even more having sat on both. Both have merits and both have drawback for what I want to use them for.
Great review again and what a nice looking bike from RE. They are certainly making some improvements over the last couple of years. Exhaust must be from the Honda factory. Their metal work rusts for fun too
I like the look of that compared to the Himalayan, but may be a little under powered. I am happy with my Interceptor so far and wouldn’t want less power than that has…..even though I am getting older and wider! 👍😂
It’s a pretty machine ,even with the sloppy welding and the custom rust pipes .
I agree….
Nowadays always good to have a bit of patina, even from new.
RE Interceptor 650 to my point of view are still the best buy compared to RE Himalayan. While between RE Meteor 350 and HONDA Highness 350. I will choose Honda. 😁
Motogb price is £4599 or £4699 for turquoise or white flame so well under that 5k Andy ;)
Like it, would be my preference over the Himalayan but I'm waiting to see if Triumph make a 500 single. Will be worth paying a bit extra. Nice review, cheers.
I prefer the Himalayan look to be honest and really don’t like the speedo however I’m a big RE fan so hope it’s a success .
At 65 im no longer a power junkie... But 24 bhp mherrrrrr.... I'd love to love it if that makes sense. Cheers Andy.
A 400 that can't do highway is just absurd in this day n age mate .
yes, I really would like to see this Scram off road Andy!
I have a 2021 Himalayan with about 1000 miles on the clock. I love the looks, the size, the riding position, and the gearbox. It is slow. The switchgear feels cheap. It is going back to the dealer soon for repeated stalling when “cold”. I have to feather the throttle to keep it from stalling and it will still stall during the first mile or two. The seat is hard. I’m also losing my ABS and Neutral indicator on my instrument cluster. They are slowly moving off center and slipping off at the 7 o’clock position. I like the Himalayan, but I may have been happier with the RE Meteor. Cheers from the colonies.
What a glorious day for a ride out and a very nice and excellent value bike to be on ,the welds and exhausts were a bit of a surprise I must admit .But putting that aside definitely better than the Herold without doubt . : )
Hi, I see what you mean about the welds, other than that, the exhaust will keep any one occupied ,giving it a clean or polish , may be a cheaper grade of stainless has been used . Would make a nice commuter and a soft green lane machine . Thanks for the review, have fun and ride safe .🙂
Great video on the Royal Enfield scarm. It’s got nice seat height for small rider. Only Royal Enfield i can get this this (Royal Enfield Genuine Classic 500 1:12 scale model). Hope we do get to see more of this motorbike
Nice looking bike, similar looking to the svartpilen 401 and priced the same as well
Been working in Essex, so was glad when I arrived at the Dock to head home and had this video to watch while waiting on the boat. I have a himalayan and it has been a great commute all winter. I do have to say I prefer the look of the scram and may well consider a change. If your not going onto carriage way or motorways they just make sense. Think I'm getting around 80mpg so in the current climate that's cheap transport to work and back. Having a passenger or language doesn't seem to make any difference to the engine pulling either.
Hammer house of horrors, I remember that to. When I went to bed the TV would crack when the valves cooled down and frightened the crap out of me.
I'm an engineer and an excellent tig/mig welder. Those welds on both bikes are awful. Seriously cold welds, and the stop starts show shocking pits. Prone to breaking. I should apply for a job at Royal tig washing those bad welds. It would solve the problem and they'd look good. Ill put my trumpet down. The upside is its a nice bike, aesthetically, and aimed at a
"Sunday Trundler " which corners the old school market. I like RE, its a brilliant low end bike with character and when it inevitably breaks, you can sit in your garage tinkering. Bliss.
Tripper issues resolved 😊
It took my daughter to solve it 🙄
It won't connect via the phone's inherent Bluetooth connection as You would with other devices such as headphones etc
Connectivity is via the app.
It's the same for iPhone and Android .
Hope this helps👍
Love your channel as a new rider only on CBT but like the older bikes your showing when's the next time you're out with Mrs fly on her bike all the best and stay safe
I’m sure she’ll be along again soon! Best of luck with your learning to ride!
So after 2 weeks on a new Classic 350 I must say was surprised at the finish on this new bike, the Classic is built to a much higher standard. Plus no vibration and a perfect gearbox.
That’s because the classic is a dressed up meteor which is Enfield’s most modern and best built bike.
@@morri03 was offered a ride on the Meteor but declined as I just loved the Classic with out even riding it. It ticked all the boxes that I required, has even exceeded my expectations.
Yes the Meteor and Classic are well built in comparison and I way prefer the engine…
@@TheMissendenFlyer well have just been lent a Himalayan while my Classic has its first service and fitment of a top of the range DID chain. The only other extra was Daytona heated grips that look factory fitted, that the dealer sorted before I picked the bike up.
A bit of a shock riding the Himalayan after the Classic.
I really like the look of the Scram. I wish there was a RE dealer near me so I could check one out. Appreciate your review.
Whereabouts are you?
@@TheMissendenFlyer southeastern United States. Lots of Honda and Harley dealers. Not a lot of royal enfield 😆
Seems odd that they have two engines 350 and 411 which produce about the same power, why ?
The thought occurs to me that the fit and finish are commensurate with the projected retail price. Bearing in mind the EPIC adventures undertaken on the Himalayans, it's likely that you'd get 40,000 miles more or less, out of one of these without it falling apart completely. In any case, after that sort of mileage, you could happily sell it for a £1 knowing that you had had your moneys' worth. A bike for twice the price would have lost at least half its value after 40,000 miles so you'd be in the same position financially. A perfect bike for green lanes and riding on weekend tours, with a price tag to allow you to be out 52 weeks a year. What's not to like?
Couldn't agree more!
Thanks for your video, i think your review is the best of them all, and i have been watching reviews on the Scram for months, I've bought a red one, its a £100 extra, but the only thing I'm worried about is the tyre compound, i shall change them to a nice road tyre. Interceptor but found it a bit heavy, and it didn't hold the road in the wet.
Glad it was helpful! Another video coming on this bike on Saturday!
Andy, I would’ve bought a royal Enfield a few years ago but it has spoke wheels on it, people don’t want spoked wheels they want cast wheels so they can use tubeless tires why doesn’t Royal infield understand that?
Bikes in Asia are designed for the owner to be able to do their own repairs and it's much easier to fix a puncture if it's not on a tubeless rim
Safer and easier with tubeless tyres. Much less chance of being stuck at the side of the road in England waiting hours for recovery.
@@ianc4901 I don’t live in Asia, and neither does Andy.
Very nice bike & review. Really cool & I like that it's a smaller capacity too.
Thanks for watching!
Many years ago a friend who is a top notch welder/fabricator pointed out the welds on a Japanese bike. One side was perfect and the other was not. He said that an apprentice worked on one side. Royal Enfield may have a shortage of skilled workers due to demand. This will improve as time goes on.
Interesting theory!
I wish Royal Enfield would use the switchgear from the 350s on everything. TEC tested one of these 411s with their cam and nothing else, and it made 28.4 hp. A free-flowing exhaust should give you 30.
Another thorough interesting bike review.
I don't know but would think the exhaust would be stainless steel so shouldn't rust. The discolouration could be just to heat.
Definitely a rust spot on it!
Yes agree that it looked like rusty water had dripped on it from somewhere but I was referring to the general discoloration. Time will tell.
There are many different grades of Stainless Steel, the lower quality stuff does rust so technically shouldn't be called 'Stainless'.
It's also possible that the finish is contaminated due to bad practice and using grinding belts that have been previously used for regular steel, this will transfer enough dust to the Stainless to create rust and it would look very similar to what you can see there.
On the downpipe there is an enlarged section, possibly for a Cat Converter but on the welds above and below there is deep rust, that is not from contamination, that is low quality stainless and will develop holes over time !
I love the look of the Scram... I got a pair of those PMJ Jeans (after your recommendation), I can confirm they are great! The KTM 390 ADV is still great too... Oh, & my M1000RR Lego kit arrived today, I can't decide wether to build it or just put in the corner of the living room and look at it!
Some high temp black paint on the exhaust would be an improvement
And remove those yellow pods.
@@mastercylinder1939 Yes!
Reminds me of my 200cc van van ,wish Suzuki bought out a 500cc version .
Great vid, I agree looks betters than the Himalayan. My friend turned up at my house recently on one as he is a road tester for Royal Enfield.
Nice little thumper. Should sell well.
Nice flying weather just around the corner.
Flying vids this summer please.
I’ll see what I can do Michael!
Price is £4599 according to my local dealer's website. That's for the Graphite Blue, Red or Yellow. £100 extra for the White Flame and the Silver Spirit Turquoise.
Bargain!
Love the look of this bike but those welds are disappointing to say the least. IMO the frame is last place I want to see cost cutting. Awesome video btw
Diggin' the GTA camera angles.
Scram looks like bike of next generation
Such an attractive bike. If we see one with 40+ hp I'll definitely be picking it up
Was not a big fan of the Himalayan but I like this. Ergos look good I’ll find out in a month. Wonder how it would fair with just street tires. Looks like a good all around town machine find myself attracted to the red and white one but they all look good to me
I heard that motor has even more grunt than the new or old KLR, and I kind of like the clean front end no bulky fairing, you could probably go a lot further on the trail without all that stuff in front of you, thanks
Looks good but I prefer a more symmetrical dashboard.
It could use a bit more power but that would be bad for the fuel usage.
Screen would be nice. Don’t know what luggage capacity it has. Both are necessary for me.
Very interesting bike considering the fuel prices these days.
It's a great looking bike, especially in the red/white. Great review TMF and looking dapper in that jacket
Cheers!
The moment I went “Hay Kids” even before the video started I realised I have subscribed to your channel mentally ..
