MotorTranscript
00:00The Royal Enfield Bear 650 is a stylish motorcycle packed with lots of technology.
00:06Just so you know, it was the brand's first twin to get a dashboard with Google Maps on screen,
00:12but that's not all. This is the only video you need to watch to know everything about it.
00:18Technical features, performance in the city, on the highway, fuel consumption, insurance costs,
00:23and of course my honest opinion, covering the pros and cons so you can make
00:29the best buying decisions. I am Amanda Pagliari and this is the most charming motorcycle channel
00:34in Brazil, which also brings you the most comprehensive two-wheel content.
00:38So go ahead and smash that like button and subscribe to the channel so you don't miss any videos.
00:46The Bear 650 is part of the Interceptor family, but it differs in a few ways from the Interceptor 650
00:55side. Besides the look, like for example, a reinforced chassis, new suspension, a longer
01:00swing arm, raised tail, the final drive gearing is also different, repositioned foot pegs, higher
01:05ground clearance. Since this motorcycle is classified by Royal Enfield as a scrambler,
01:11meaning you could also take it off-road? In my opinion. Can you ride it off-road?
01:17Totally can, right? It comes with dual sport tires, spoked wheels that can absorb impacts better.
01:24But in my opinion, it's a motorcycle meant more for the open road, for you to travel and hit the
01:32pavement. The Bear's design is gorgeous, in my opinion. One of the prettiest Royal Enfield bikes,
01:38and the finish is also exquisite, on par with European bikes. And here you have the metal tank,
01:44that trademark feature of Royal Enfield, with bikes that are sturdier, built to last, you know?
01:51But actually, for this model, they replaced some metal parts with plastic, which I think makes
01:56total sense. Like for example, right here, the fender, the headlight cover here. We also have the rear
02:02fender in plastic, this part, which ends up reducing the weight, making it a lot lighter, which is a good
02:08thing. And this motorcycle was inspired by the Big Bear Run, a race in the California desert. By the
02:15way, the rider, Eddie, at 16 years old, won the race. And it was an epic race, because he started
02:22all the way from the back, kept passing everyone, and won the race. And the cool thing is that he
02:27was
02:27on a Royal Enfield motorcycle, a 500 single cylinder. So it was truly a milestone. That victory left its
02:35mark on Royal Enfield's history. And it's also marked right here, look, 249, which is Eddie's racing
02:43number, who won that race. That's why Royal's website even says that, for those in the know, 249
02:50actually means first place. And the name Bear, if you haven't noticed already, comes from that iconic
02:55California race. It doesn't come with a center stand as standard, nor any other kind of accessory.
03:05It comes just the way you're seeing it on screen. And if you want to accessorize your Bear 650,
03:12my tip is to get the SCAM accessories. Why? Because they offer great quality and durability,
03:18including even a sissy bar backrest here, so you can carry your passenger more safely. And for the Bear
03:24650 SCAM offers a carbon steel headlight guard and handguards. They also have engine and fairing
03:32guards, pannier racks, a license plate reinforcement, the sissy bar I mentioned to you, a pair of side
03:38cases, a tall polycarbonate windshield, and you also have various top box options from the super affordable
03:46economy line to the keyless line, which doesn't need a key. Okay. And there's also a 65 liter keyless one
03:52that fits two helmets. To check out SCAM's full lineup for your motorcycle or scooter, my tip is
03:58just click the link in the description or point your phone's camera at the QR code on the screen
04:03and you're set. You'll see all the possible accessories for your bike and scooter, because
04:08SCAM doesn't just make accessories for trail bikes, you know. They also have them for scooters
04:12and street bikes, so it's totally worth it. And with SCAM, you know it's a brand you can trust.
04:19The lighting on the bear is full LED when you turn it on. It has the two LEDs on the
04:24sides,
04:25right? Position lights. And then when you turn it on completely, that's when you have the headlight
04:31here, high beam, and the headlight flash switch right here. And the cool thing is that it has hazard
04:38lights, LED turn signals, just like the taillights, so it's full LED. The seat is a one-piece type with
04:44comfortable foam, as I mentioned. It has these patterns here. It's really cool, embossed right here.
04:50Royal infield, engraved on the back of the seat. The scrap handle here, right? So you can maneuver
04:56the motorcycle. The seat is 83 centimeters off the ground. I'm going to get on it here so you can
05:02see.
05:02Look, I'm 1.77 meters tall. I can place both feet flat on the ground here without any trouble, okay?
05:08And the cool thing, look at this, is that it features rubberized foot pegs here, right?
05:13You can also remove the rubber inserts for better grip since it's a scrambler. So Royal infield adds
05:18some more off-road oriented accessories, features. The riding position here, very comfortable.
05:24One detail here is that sometimes, right? Your leg might rub against here, against the top part of
05:30the engine, you know? But it's fine. Then you keep it a little outwards. But overall, the motorcycle is
05:37very comfortable. And I haven't even mentioned, right? These round mirrors here, very pretty in my opinion,
05:42which give it that retro vibe, you know? Matching the round headlight. I think it's really, really nice.
05:47And the black finish here on the stem. Pretty cool. For the passenger, there's a folding black
05:53foot peg here. It has a black finish, but it's not rubberized. And that's it. Generally speaking,
05:59the riding position is here. Comfortable, really nice. Soon I'll be riding around the city and on the
06:04highway and I'll let you know. And its curb weight is 214 kilos, already taking into account the fluids and
06:11the
06:11fuel tank, which has a capacity of 13.7 liters of gas. The wheels are spoked, as you can see
06:19here.
06:20But unlike the Himalayan, which has a tubeless version, these here have inner tubes. Okay?
06:27Wheel size, 19 inch at the front, 17 inch at the rear.
06:34For the suspension, we have an inverted fork from Showa with 130 millimeters of travel.
06:42As for the rear, we have twin shocks, meaning two springs with preload adjustment and a total travel
06:48of 150 millimeters. For the brakes, we have discs on both wheels, a single large front disc measuring
06:54320 millimeters in diameter and a rear disc measuring 270 millimeters in diameter.
07:02ABS on both wheels. The interesting thing is that for this version here, since it's a scrambler ride
07:07for you to use off-road, you can turn off the ABS on the rear wheel by pressing the button
07:11back here.
07:12I'll show you on the dash in a bit. The engine in the bear is the same one we already
07:17know from the
07:18other twins, like the Super Meteor and the shotgun. We're talking about the twin-cylinder air-cooled
07:26engine with 650 cubic centimeters, producing a maximum of 47.4 horsepower and 5.74 kilogram force
07:35meters of torque. An engine that's already well established in our market, it comes with a final
07:42chain drive, all right, and six speeds. And I'd like to highlight this exhaust tip here, a two-into-one
07:49in a black finish, which I found really interesting. Sure, because of emissions regulations, they can't
07:54make the exhaust tip smaller, right? But I liked it here. I found it pretty interesting and I'll show
07:58you how it roars in just a bit. The instrument cluster is circular and 100% digital and when you
08:06turn it on,
08:07the name Bear pops up. What's cool is that you can switch the background black or white so you get
08:12to
08:12choose. I'll leave it white to make it easier to see right now, but I think it looks nicer in
08:15black, okay?
08:17Yeah, and the cool thing is that you also have a lot of information here. Let's start with the basics,
08:23all right? Tach tachometer right here, yeah, speedometer, gear position indicator, here you have the fuel gauge
08:30and the trip computer info is at the bottom, okay? So for example, trip one, you also have trip two,
08:38for
08:38example, range, meaning how far you can ride with the gas you have in the tank. You also have fuel
08:44consumption real time, okay? And here, look, battery voltage, that's really cool. Service info and much
08:53more. Besides that, you also have another display mode for the dashboard, right? So I'm going to press
08:59the shortcut here and it already changed. You have the information up here. This mode is really useful to
09:05to show the map up here at the top. It's really cool. And here, the trip computer information moving
09:12up here and the information here on fuel and everything else move down here, okay? And then
09:17you also have here, right, the trip info, which I showed you guys, okay? And besides that, you have
09:23other information, like for example, alerts, okay? Then you keep scrolling here and here's the map on the
09:30screen. With Royal Enfield's free app, you install it on your phone. It can be Android or iPhone. In my
09:37case, it's an iPhone. Look, what are you seeing there? I already downloaded it. Then I went there,
09:42entered the address. I put Sao Paulo and it's showing up on the screen. Here is turn-by-turn navigation,
09:48okay? But you can, I'm going to exit here. Look so you can see, but you can get it directly
09:54on the map.
09:55All right, the navigation. I tapped here. Look, start navigation. I'm going to tap it, head east,
10:05and then with the intercom you can get the audio in your helmet, all right? And then it will give
10:11you directions from the map here. Pretty cool. However, look, I don't know if you can tell, but
10:15my phone isn't completely locked, okay? It dims the screen. Then if I want to unlock it here,
10:21what happens? The navigation disappears. So on this dashboard here, Royal Enfield's system,
10:28when you, yeah, lock your phone, let's say, right? You locked it, the map goes away. Now for you to
10:33have the map 100% on the screen, then you really have to keep it dimmed and put it in
10:39your pocket
10:40or jacket, and then the little map will appear right here, Google Maps, directly on the screen.
10:44Here on the right hand grip, we have a really nice grip engraved with Royal Enfield, rubberized,
10:51finish here, really, really nice to hold. The switch is in this rounder shape, so you have the kill
10:56switch here, right here to turn on the electronics, and here the bike's ignition switch, and below it,
11:02hazard light. The brake lever here has reach adjustment. And here on the left side, the horn,
11:09the five-way joystick to navigate the dash. Here you can go left and right. Here you have the
11:15headlights, high beam, and pass switch. And here on the back, this little home button to navigate,
11:22here on the dash, and the clutch lever also has reach adjustment. You press this M button here.
11:29Here you have two riding modes, rear abyss off and rear abyss on. And it comes with a USB type
11:38C port,
11:38which is located right here next to the headlight. It's really nice, and it already has a cover
11:43to protect it from the rain. And now that I've shown you everything about the Royal Enfield Bear
11:48650, I'm going to ride it in the city, split lanes, and hit the highway too, wrapping up the video
11:55with
11:55the pros and cons. Of course, fuel consumption and insurance costs. But first, I wanted to show you this
12:00amazing new product, the Motoka, that I developed to bring more ease and convenience, not just for female
12:07riders, but for passengers too. So you rider, get a Motoka for your partner in adventure, and you
12:13ladies, grab one now, because you have no idea how much this makes your life easier. No more embarrassing
12:19moments wearing those satin bonnets, you know. No more of that awkwardness of putting it on before
12:24your helmet. Not here. You're just going to take your helmet with the Motoka right here. Already installed,
12:29a complete kit for you to install in your helmet. Then you install the base, which fits most helmets.
12:35Then you hook it here. Look, you slip the little hooks, the little pins right here into the base. Check
12:41it
12:41out. It stays securely on your helmet. You don't have that embarrassment, you know, of wearing that
12:46little satin bonnet. Everyone's staring at you beforehand. Horrible. Not here. Super discreet. You
12:53just come snap it on. Super practical, right? And to take it off, look how easy it is.
13:13Guys, Motoka, it's so easy. Take advantage of the sale. Click the link in the description of this video,
13:19or point your phone's camera at the QR code on the screen and order yours for delivery.
13:24All over Brazil, you can even use the Motoplay discount code to pay less.
13:27Now then, hop on the back of my bike.
13:40Motoplay.
13:41Motoplay.
13:43Motoplay.
13:56Motoplay.
13:59Motoplay.
14:00Does it ride well around the city?
14:03The engine isn't that explosive kind that scares you, you know?
14:07That startles you. So you can ride around the city here well, more smoothly.
14:16Look at low, look at low rpms here in second gear. The engine is smooth, look.
14:23If you hit the throttle, it responds, but you can still ride more slowly here in the city.
14:35One thing I haven't shown you guys is that it has, look, the shift light, right?
14:39I don't know if you can see it. Look, this red triangle right here. It's telling me to shift up.
14:45But since I'm just stubborn, I'm going to leave it right here. And what now, dude?
14:51Yeah, I'm going to leave it right here just to have more engine torque.
14:56But if you... holy crap.
15:00Holy things got crazy here. Oh boy. Oh man.
15:04I didn't get a thing.
15:07Bololo! Bololo!
15:12Bololo! Bololo!
15:13Bololo!
15:14It's better if everyone goes to the right here, right?
15:18No, but it's fine. Bololo! Bololo!
15:22Yeah, the suspension is nice, it's firm, but it doesn't block miracles, okay?
15:28So, for example, I drove over some imperfections on the asphalt here,
15:33and I'm feeling it a bit, you know?
15:37Here between lanes!
15:40Clearly!
15:41You can see that the handlebar on this BR is quite wide, right?
15:46So, if the gap between lanes is really narrow, I'm telling you right now,
15:52that it might be a little problem, right?
15:56So, be careful.
15:58If you want agility, then you need to pay attention.
16:03Yeah, guys, can you get through?
16:05You can, but it's not the most agile bike in the world.
16:09What's surprisingly cool here is its handling.
16:13But regarding the handling here, wow, it doesn't even feel like there's over 100 kg on the bike.
16:19Riding along, it handles really well.
16:21Okay, guys, riding along, it's just fine.
16:24One thing I'm noticing is that it doesn't heat up much here on my legs.
16:31Is it bothering me?
16:32Not right now, right?
16:34Because it started to cool down, so the bike keeps me warm.
16:38Enough riding in the city because its natural habitat is hitting the open road, okay?
16:44I'm not going to ride it on dirt.
16:46I already did at the launch.
16:47I'll leave the video right here in the description, all right?
16:52And I'll link it in a video card so you can watch it later.
16:57Yeah, but I'm going to hit the road with it.
16:59So, let's hit the road.
17:04And here on the road, it's very comfortable to ride it.
17:08Seriously, it's very pleasant.
17:11Here, the handlebar, really wide.
17:15Wow, so nice to ride with it here.
17:16The leg position, foot pegs with a rubberized finish.
17:21So, overall, out here on the road, it's super comfortable, really nice to ride it.
17:30Look, it performs well with this engine, an engine we already know, right?
17:37But the cool thing is that for this version here, because of the new exhaust and also the new gear
17:43ratio,
17:43yeah, it's got a bit more torque, even though the map and the engine are the same, right?
17:49But the map has been recalibrated to deliver more punch at low and mid-rpm, so that's really cool.
18:00So, if you ride for a long time on this seat, it might make your butt sore, okay?
18:06But on a quick round trip, like 300 kilometers, I think you can handle it just fine.
18:19It's not meant for top speed, top end speed, but rather for having torque, having that thrill,
18:28enjoying the scenery, right?
18:32Enjoying a stable ride.
18:34And in style, right? This bike has so much style, so that's the whole point here with the bear.
18:43And the cool thing is that it's really stable out here on the road, you can
18:54speed up, pass right by trucks, and the bike handles it so well.
19:00Well, it doesn't come with any aerodynamic protection as standard,
19:04so the faster you go, the more wind you'll catch right in your face.
19:07There's no getting around it, okay?
19:11Yeah, and that on the road, well, it's comfortable, the riding position, it doesn't vibrate at all,
19:19not in the mirrors, nor through your feet, which is really nice.
19:23It has this finish here, the rubber padding, right? Which offers some relief like that, but honestly,
19:29it wouldn't even be necessary, because the bike doesn't vibrate at all, right? It's just normal for a bike.
19:35So the gears are well spaced on the highway, right? Six gear pulls nicely.
19:41And like, just letting you know, cruising speed, 130, it rides well, 140.
19:50With me, of course, no luggage, no passenger, it handles that speed quite well.
19:56In other words, at 120 kilometers per hour, which is the speed limit,
20:01yeah, on our highways around here, you'll be able to ride smoothly,
20:05yeah, without having to push the engine hard. So that's what's cool about it.
20:10And it's a very stable bike, well-finished, brakes well, the suspension.
20:15Of course, guys, right? It's not a Himalayan, right? It's a scrambler, but not an off-roader.
20:21I told you guys that, in my opinion, it's not even that much of a scrambler.
20:27But can it handle the potholes? Yes, mostly because of the spoked wheels instead of alloy ones.
20:33So if you hit a pothole, it's not likely to crack the wheel, since it absorbs the impacts, right?
20:39It distributes the impact, and at most, you'll have to replace a spoke, maybe two spokes, right?
20:44That's way cheaper than replacing the whole wheel.
20:47So that's why the wheel has spokes for dirt roads, you see?
20:53And honestly, the handling is really good. You can take corners, accelerating out of curves.
20:58She handles so well, you guys. It's not that explosive engine where your soul takes off, you know?
21:03Where your soul takes off and your body stays behind.
21:07You have to get on it. Rev it up.
21:10Wait a little bit to shift up if you want to feel the engine screaming, right?
21:16Your heart racing.
21:19Other than that, she rides really well.
21:23I think she's a well-balanced, pretty high-tech bike and at an interesting price.
21:27I'll tell you the price in just a bit.
21:30But tell me, what do you think of the bear?
21:33If you have any questions that I didn't answer here on the ride, leave a comment down below.
21:39But now, let's wrap up the video with the pros and cons, fuel consumption and insurance cost.
21:46And what about fuel consumption? We know it depends a lot on the rider.
21:49The more you hit the throttle, take longer to shift gears, whether you ride more aggressively
21:54or more smoothly. It will consume more or less fuel.
21:58Riding in the city, on the highway, pushing for top speed, riding more aggressively,
22:03it's averaged about 22 kilometers per liter with me, according to the dashboard.
22:08But some people get higher or even lower mileage.
22:11If you own an Interceptor Bear 650, leave a comment down below with the gas mileage you get on it.
22:19And what about the insurance cost?
22:21Well, for me, it's a real highlight of this bike, since I don't think it's targeted much for theft,
22:25you guys. Spoiler alert, that's a huge plus.
22:27But I always say get insurance, no matter what area you live in, no matter what bike you have,
22:33whether it's a scooter, an adventure bike or a sport bike, especially because insurance
22:37isn't just for theft and robbery. You also get roadside assistance like towing.
22:42Have you ever gotten a quote for a tow truck to see how much it costs?
22:45Many times, it ends up being at least 50% of the insurance cost.
22:50And check this out at Protect Me, which has been the partner brokerage
22:53here for the Motoplay channel for years now. You get the cheapest insurance in Brazil.
22:57Why? Because they are 100% online. You get a quote and the price comes out right away,
23:02based on your profile. And the cool thing is that there are several options
23:04of insurance companies registered with SUSEP. These are insurance policies,
23:08not Vehicle Protection Association plans, which means you can trust it.
23:11And well, I did a quote here for a 41-year-old man. I used the zip code for Mogidas
23:15Cruises,
23:16where I'm currently living. But then you can enter your own profile. It might come out cheaper
23:20or even a bit more expensive. And well, several insurance options came up, okay?
23:24Every insurer is registered with SUSEP. And I'm going to set aside here the cheapest option,
23:29which was for theft and robbery. Look at that. From 1,205 reais and 29 centavos,
23:36this amount is annual to 912 reais and 70 centavos. You can split this amount. You can split it into
23:42up to 12 installments, less than 100 reais, and you're already insured for theft and robbery.
23:49And then, of course, with assistance, you get 24-hour support, 200-kilometer towing,
23:53and a payout equal to 100% of the five-table value. Want other options? Total loss from a collision,
23:59and even full comprehensive insurance. Just click the link in the description or scan the QR code
24:04on the screen. Just point your phone's camera right here at the screen and you'll go straight

24:18know Protek yet, that it's cheap, easy, without any red tape. With Protek, click, get a quote,
24:25and seal the deal. And now I'm going to talk about the pros and cons of the Bear 650, starting
24:33with
24:33the pros. Okay? Design, right guys? It's a very beautiful bike, genuinely one of the prettiest here
24:39from Royal Enfield, so that's a plus. The finish, too. It surprised me. The detail on the welds here,
24:46the fit of the parts, another plus. Handling is something really interesting. This bike is so
24:51nice to ride, even though it has some weight to it, which is a downside. I'll get to that in
24:55a bit,
24:55but while riding, you don't even feel it. The handling is really good, definitely a plus. The
25:00front suspension is really good from Showa. I liked it a lot. Another good thing is that it doesn't
25:05vibrate that much. Royal Enfield, guys, has evolved over time, so whoever still has that memory of the 500s
25:11that vibrated like crazy, forget it. This here is a new technology. I always say this because a lot
25:16of people still remember the bike vibrating, whatever, and here the vibration is minimal,
25:20a definite plus. Another good thing is the brakes, which is a plus, and another plus is that you can
25:29turn off the ABS on the rear wheel really easily. Another plus is the display with the tripper dash there,
25:37the map on the screen. That's really cool. Phenology there. Developed in partnership with Google by Royal
25:42Enfield, so it's really cool, truly awesome, and I didn't even mention, but there's also the connectivity
25:48feature. With your phone, you can see calls, then check your music, songs. It's not that great because
25:54it's only with Google Music really, but anyway, you can skip tracks forward, backward. It doesn't show
25:59the track name if you're listening to Spotify, for example, but that's okay. Comfort. It's a comfortable bike,
26:05so you have that rider triangle, right? A comfortable riding position, so that's a plus, and another
26:10good thing is here, it's good for taking a passenger. Granted, it doesn't come with that sissy bar, right?
26:15You can buy that as an accessory, but overall, it really is a bike you can carry a passenger on,
26:21unlike the shotgun, for example, where you can't even take one, can't take a passenger at all, right?
26:25So that's definitely a plus point here.
26:30The engine is another plus point. A fun, torquey engine. A really nice tune here from Royal Enfield,
26:36right? So much so that they expanded the family, right? The engine carries over, the bike style
26:41changes, but the engine stays the same, and that's a really great thing. It's stable on the highway,
26:46which is nice because having that stability lets you accelerate. Yeah, I really liked it. Original
26:52accessories, that's a good thing because Royal Enfield offers a variety of accessories for you to
26:57equip and protect your bear. That's really cool, you can check them out at the dealership, okay?
27:01They even have riding gear, you know guys, the black gloves I was wearing are from Royal Enfield,
27:06okay? Just a tip for anyone looking to buy. And the last item, which is kind of important,
27:11this isn't really about Royal Enfield or about, this is about our country, right? Which I need to mention
27:17that in my opinion, it's not a common target for theft. People aren't that eager to steal this bike,
27:23since it has more of an old school vibe. Thieves around here usually prefer slightly different bike.
27:29That doesn't mean you should leave it parked on the street, right? But I think that's a good thing.
27:33Around here, if you live in Rio, Sao Paulo, or dangerous areas, at least with this one, you'll be
27:37able to go out and ride with more peace of mind. And now let's move on to the negatives. Are
27:42there any
27:42drawbacks? Look, it's tough, huh? But little Mandy here found some downsides because around here,

27:57this takes a lot of work to make for you, you know? You still haven't subscribed? Come on,
28:01your hand won't fall off. Subscribe! Well, her first downside is that she's a bit heavy, okay? When you're
28:08riding, you don't even feel it, but maneuvering it around is a bit tricky, let's say. So if you're on
28:14the
28:14smaller or skinnier side, you might have a little bit of trouble maneuvering her. Another downside
28:20is the triple dash, the display, the map. I praised it, sang its praises, but unfortunately, when you
28:26lock your phone, the map goes dead, right? So maybe in a future update, Royal Enfield can fix this.
28:34We know that if we had our phone right here with the map on, it would also drain the battery,
28:39right?
28:39There's that point, you know? The screen staying on. At least here it's not out in the open where
28:44someone could snatch it, which is also a thing in Brazil. But yeah, I'd like to just lock my phone,
28:49you know? And just have the little map on the screen, who knows, maybe in the future. I should
28:53point that out to you. Another thing I didn't like, given Royal Enfield's attention to detail here on the
29:01there. I think it should have at least come with a fuel cap, right? With that hinge, what we call
29:08an aircraft style cap, right? So you don't end up holding the whole thing in your hand. So I think
29:12it would make our lives a lot easier, especially since this bike has a more premium fit and finish.
29:18I feel like that's missing. I found the fuel tank capacity a bit low, right? Smaller than the Super
29:23Meteor, for example. So it's 13.7 litres of capacity. Ends up being a bit disappointing if you want to
29:29hit the
29:29highway, you know? Yeah, the Super Meteor is the best suited to highway riding of the bunch, right?
29:34But I still think this bike is totally made for taking lots of road trips. Another downside,
29:39at least for me, since I have long legs, my legs kept brushing against this part right here, look.
29:43Against the engine slender head right here. It even has these guards, I guess so your legs don't
29:48come into direct contact with it. But it's still a downside! That combined with another downside,
29:53which is that it ends up heating up a bit if you get stuck in a lot of stop and
29:57go city traffic.
29:58So if you're very sensitive to heat on your legs, that might bother you. Or if you ride in hot
30:03regions,
30:04okay? Over there in the northeast, for example, it's going to fry your leg. It's not the hottest on
30:09the market, sure, but it does have this discomfort. So it's important that you test ride it before buying.
30:18And what about you? Do you have more pros or cons about the Bear 650? Let me know in the
30:24comments!
30:36And it's available in three versions. The yellow one, which is the cheapest at 33,990,
30:42the black version at 34,490, and the top of the line white and green version with the 249 number
30:49plate
30:49that I'm testing for 34,990, shipping included. Okay? That's the price provided by Royal Enfield.
30:59I don't know if it'll be lower or higher at the time you're watching this video. So let me know
31:03in the comments how much it costs in your city. It's supposed to match the website's price, right?
31:06And what changes from one version to another? Just colors and graphics. Okay, a paint job there.
31:14That's all that changes. Whether it's one solid color, two-tone, the rest, mechanics, dashboard,
31:21engine, everything is the same. So that's it. If you liked the video, leave a like, share it with your
