So so tempted...

Went and had a look at the RE Bear 650 yesterday, it's a sweet looking bike and I'm sorely tempted.

That's a good looking bike. I see GS are preparing a mezzanine floor for Triumphs. I was up last week thinking of trading my Honda Africa Twin Adventure Sports ES. Its Just turned four but has 26,000 miles on it and they were less than enthusiastic. :D

They have a huge amount of stock in the showroom, it's very impressive.
 
They seem to be doing OK. I was there for an Hour or so an 4 new bikes went out the door in that time. John Nelson was there talking to the builders. I first encountered him when GS was in Bridge Street in Lisburn.......in 1982. :oops:
 
Sat on one today at Sykes Enfield in Sussex today . I liked it but it was a bit top heavy . Needs wider bars , Otherwise lovely . Sykes are going to sell loads of these . They are a Harley dealer but also diversifying into Ducati !!
 
I sat on one at the London Motorcycle Show in February. One of the most comfortable bikes on display.

I like them.

I’ll see if I can get an extended test ride from Bacon’s in Romford.

I must be well old then; I remember them on the Ravenhill Road in Belfast before they moved to Lisburn.
 
Would we call the frame pistachio, celeste or Indian racing green?

Whatever it is, it looks great! :thumb
I think the official name for that colour is Teal
 
Saw one of these Guerrilla models at a bike meet yesterday. Very nice paint job and a great looking bike 😎Screenshot_20250410_203639.jpg
 
What’s the fit and finish like on the latest RE bikes, things like paint quality.

I can't say I looked too closely, but overall quite impressive for the price. Not sure about standing the test of time though.

From what I saw in the showroom walk round it looks very good, little things like the switch gear is cast aluminum not plastic, there are aftermarket rubber knee / tank pads to protect the tank etc lots of farkles available, it looks very well put together and of course the 650 motor is a tried and tested unit.
