Great review 👍 I only just found this engine has the °270 crank, which gives the "sound" you're talking about. I'm surprised not many reviewers mention this, as it's this attribute folks seem to want. Take the CF Moto MT for example. 🤔

What a comprehensive review

So you present a bike you don't even took the time to check what tyres comes with it. I call that lazy. Here's my thumb down for you

I like it however it needs to be able to do 90mph so that on the motorway it is not flat out at 70mph - maybe if they made a 500 4 valve and threw another disc on the front?

Great video Sean. Bike looks great. Got a nice 50's look to it.

You get what you pay for so no thanks.

Owned a T100. Now own a Speedmaster 1200. Have test ridden RE Classic/Bullet 350s and Meteor 650. Rode a 1959 Ariel 650 twin for a few years. I like bikes that have a classic look and ride/feel. Recently test rode a Speed Twin 900 and though I loved the engine/gears/suspension just like I did the T100, it was a very different riding position/setup and a much more 'modern bike' and sporty experience that I didn't really like. For me, the Speed Twin is a Triumph using the Bonneville platform to make a modern bike, which is, of course, sensible. A bit like RE making the HNTR on the 350 J platform. I moved to the Speedmaster because it is such an awesome experience and very comfortable riding position for me (broken knee doesn't like folding past 90 degrees). I love the SM, but overall I think the T100 is the best of Triumph's range. The Goldstar has me intrigued though. Must test ride one...

Nice one Sean, half the fun of owning a bike is making it your own and those tyres look good on her, take care bud 👍

ooking like a proper BEEZER, lovely Thump out of her ! Love the AUTHENTIC OIL POOL underneath her , those scratches should polish out with emery paper , then b 19:50uff it up, takes abit of time but should be fine.🇬🇧 🇪🇦

Great video nice practical presentation 👍🏻

Sean don’t use back brake going downhill off tarmac - you will slide.

Your unassuming nature, eye for form & function, and communication skill are superb. Thumbs up.

Hmm I think you've gotta like green laning Sean to run those tyres ang go down that route not for me but I'm sure you'll have some good fun "enjoy" great backdrop though 👌👍

Subscribed... so I can watch more Royal Enfield videos

2100 miles? I’d bin it since it’s clearly worn out! You’ll find if you keep a bike long enough, the miles won’t bother you and resale value is something other people can worry about. I had a Honda CMX 300 (Rebel) that I rode on an abandoned coal mining road with no off-road equipment whatsoever. It was really a difficult road, with rocks the size of basketballs. After making it home, I put my wife and son in my 4-wheel drive pickup and retraced my steps. I bottomed the truck a few times and realized 2 things. 1) you can ride anything off road with little to no preparation as long as its easy to get your feet down, and 2) I don’t really want to ride off-road. I won’t comprise my on-road ride and handling for “style”. I’d just buy a more suitable bike if I were serious about off-road or trail riding. It’s your bike, do with it what makes you happy.

I really liked your take on that BSA 650 and with such simple modifications it just makes that bike a little bit more to my liking…… I’ve come back to biking after a 20 year layoff having owned original British BSA’s and a plethora of other motorcycles back in the day….. but I wanted the large single the new BSA brand obliged….. of course I have pinged all over the biking world trying to make a decision on which one I am going to buy when funds become available in October and I know they’re quite different motorcycles but it’s probably the BSA 650 or the motor guzzi v5… I know they’re very different machines and the BSA fits my original remit more but the V7 is it I’ve really come to like…. And that’s the most important thing, isn’t it?

Hi Sean, I think to get the look you're after with your bike you're looking at the wrong style handle bars, going for the off Rd style of the 70/80's I think it would suit what your looking for to have the bars that, turn in at the end (don't know what they are called) I don't mean all the way ie 90 degrees but they do lean in towards the centre more. I prob didn't make any sense 👍m

In the late 60 early 70s Matchless, Norton, BSA and Triumph did a zeries of bikes, mainly for North America, Australia, NZ and South Africa called "Street Scramblers", one Matchless, put a G50 detuned race engine in the model, (very rare)! If you look @ these nodels you may get further inspiration. Perhaps look @ the 441 Victor, see what ground clearance, it had! For the bikes sake, you need to upgrade the fork springs, perhaps fit progressive stronger springs and thicker oil in the forks to givebetter damping. Change the rear shocks too, it will benefit the ride and when transversing more difficult terrain. I believe the GS already has a bash plate and a crash bar would be a handy addition. Giving the front mudguard an extra inch clearance, with spacers, perhaps you could find a way of increasing the ground clearance too, usually about 7 1/2 inches, the 441 Victor Special willhave specs to go off!

Love the work you've done to this bike so far .. In fact this is the first time this bike looks seductive... But please please look into the possibility of a halogen conversion... The LED is just not right and dilutes your efforts imho

I think it looks pretty cool! I like your choice to go with practical changes, rather than going all in on a “full scrambler” right from the start. Now that you’ve got the BSA set up for dirt roads, you’ll have a good excuse to ride the Daytona when you’re in the mood for pavement. 😀

Looks great m8. I did the same to my old classic 500. Grass, dirt, gravel roads and farm tracks it would just plod along. Nothing stopped him. No mods other than engine crash guard and knobble tires. There are a few photos of him on some of Mr TAYMs old clips. Might even do the same to the T100 one day. Enjoy your videos buddy 👍👌

Until the 1970s no-one had full face helmets and I never saw a motorcyclist with facial injuries. Having come off many times when younger I never felt any danger to my face.

You could certainly lift the suspension by about an inch or inch and a half for a bit more clearance and slightly more off road look.

What kind of tire mileage do you think you’ll get with the knobbies?

hi brother , is this good to buy ? is this comfortable for pillion seat ?

It looks fab Sean, straight out of the great escape, easily as nice as Steve McQueens triumph 🏍🇬🇧👍

Conceptually freaky! Having owned ex-WD BSA M20, M21, Matchless 350 from WW2 and the later B40 and probably worst of all aTRW I can't see it! Nostalgia isn't what it used to be as the sayiing goes!

Another excellent and very watchable video Sean. Your easy going delivery and your enthusiasm comes through. Nice job on the headlight grill and off roadie tyres. Hope your good lady is feeling better. Keep them coming 👍

Can you paint over that chrome bit of the tank or do you need to sand it down first?

You could lace the front wheel with a 21inch front rim.. with that you may have to drop the forks ,,,it would give the bike with a thirty look... I,v just had fitted a pair of Heidenau K60,,, they are a overated,,,very hard to fit,, and on the corners they are twitchy

Awesome, messaged you re mirrors

As a vlogger i understand your need to alter the bike to create interest in your channel but as an owner i value originality and the only things I've changed are the rear shocks and that's because im considerably heavier than yourself. Plus I've zero interest in going green laneing but as always it's what floats your individual boat.

Personalisation definitely adds to pride of ownership. I like the headlamp guard - the mesh reminds me of the radiator grilles of the old Bentley Speed Six Le Mans racers of the 1930s.

you soon start to huff and puff when you go of road ;;;;; headlamp guard looks really inventive ;;

Stuart Fillingham is certainly impressed by this bike. I'm looking forward to the Scrambler. It should be on the Indian market by the end of this year. Nick

Love the look of the bike. Will be interesting to hear how you get on with the tyres long term. Really like the duffel bag on the back, especially the colour. Must try and find one for myself.

Like it. In my ideal garage, I'd love a T100 or a scrambler 900 customised to look similar to the Great Escape bike. One can dream!

That was indeed "off road" or "off the beaten track", if only by a few inches! :) Thank you for demonstrating slow speed motorcycling fun - inspiring. I wonder how well lit the roads are with the new headlight, especially when compared to stock?

Hi Sean, nice video out in the country. That’s well chunky tyres fitted on the BSA.😊 Am awaiting rear shocks from Hagon, for Bumble. Then I get bike booked in. Will get new Michelin’s fitted also. Great to see your own touch on the BSA. Good advice, re calling R&G, for advice. Good call.😊

Morning Sean looks cool, good job with the stone guard looks factory made, the tyres look great but also watch your self in the wet on the road as knobblies aren’t the best in the wet, also if you use chain wax it will allow all the crap to stick to the chain, your better off with a chain oil which will flick the crap off when off road, I’m useless off road I always end up in a heap in the mud, so Bon chance moi ami 🥴 looks lovely where you are, think think I prefer people walking by than the attention of a horse fly hate them their bite hurts, …. Pete 🇫🇷

Stuart Fillingham has made some good review videos on that BSA bike

Looking good Sean. Making a bike your own is often half the fun.

Well you have certainly have made that bike your own. 👍

Can you confirm the tyres please, they look great. Have a lot of gravel in the roads where I ride and it’s always abit unnerving.
