What does the overall riding experience of the Royal Enfield Cruiser 650 is compared to other middleweight cruisers?
09 January 2025 10:14
It is in a league of its own. It's not trying to be a Harley or a Japanese cruiser. The RE is what you want if you want something that turns heads and has a backstory to it. If you’re looking for cutting edge tech, look elsewhere.
Is the Royal Enfield Cruiser 650 as customizable as other bikes in its class?
09 January 2025 10:14
It’s not as customizable as one might expect. Yes, you could add some chrome bits and switch out the seat, but it’s still modest mods. A few years from now, I can see the scene exploding, though.
Is the Royal Enfield Cruiser 650 as reliable and as well built as the hype suggests?
09 January 2025 10:14
I've put 20,000 km on my Cruiser 650 and it's rock solid. It's not Japanese level reliable, but it's a lot better than REs of old. As long as you keep up with maintenance you’ll be fine.
Can the Royal Enfield Cruiser 650 be a good choice for long distance touring?
09 January 2025 10:14
A laid back touring bike, it is. The Cruiser 650 is a great choice if you don’t mind the journey and you are not in a hurry. It won’t keep up with dedicated touring bikes on long highway stretches, but it’s a fun way to get around.
Is upgrading from a 350cc bike to Royal Enfield Cruiser 650 worth it?
09 January 2025 10:14
The 650 is definitely an upgrade, but don’t expect it to be a rocket. But it’s still a Royal Enfield, so it’s more about the experience than outright performance. If that’s okay with you, go for it!
