The new Royal Enfield 650cc twin. We’ll be riding this and a 500cc Bullet single in Baja!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ever wonder what Royal Enfield motorcycles are like?\u00a0 I mean, really like?\u00a0 You know, on a real adventure ride?<\/p>\n

Joe and I are headed south tomorrow morning, and we’re riding (drum roll please) Royal Enfield motorcycles. \u00a0 Not just any Royal Enfields, either, but factory bikes of a most interesting flavor…the exciting new 650 Interceptor twin (the actual bike you see above) and a 500cc Bullet single.\u00a0 We’re picking up both bikes today, and wow, are we ever pumped!<\/p>\n

This is going to be extremely interesting…it’s one of the very first long distance trips on the new 650, it’s the first time it will be in Baja, and we’re\u00a0 excited about all of it. \u00a0 You’ll get our unvarnished impressions of how the bikes perform, how they compare to each other, and how they compare to the other bikes we’ve ridden.<\/p>\n

These are exciting times, folks.\u00a0 The market is changing dramatically with real bikes at real prices\u00a0 (not the bloated, heavy, monstrous, and expensive behemoths most of the manufacturers have been shoving at us for the last 20 or 30 years). \u00a0\u00a0 You know, I’ve been wanting a classic English vertical 650 twin for decades, and as a guy who rode singles all over China, Colombia, Mexico, and the US, I’m doubly excited about the Enfield 500cc single. \u00a0 This is a dream come true and we’d like you to read about it and enjoy the experience, too. \u00a0 Joe and I will see the whales, enjoy the fish tacos and other amazing Baja cuisine, and ride the best roads in the most exciting place in the world:\u00a0 Baja<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n

You can bet we’ll be riding with our BajaBound<\/a> insurance, wearing our RHeroes workshirts<\/a> and doing the things guys do on trips like this. And more likely than not you’ll be reading more about this ride in Motorcycle Classics<\/em>, RoadRUNNER<\/em>, ADVMoto<\/em>, and Motorcycle.com<\/em> magazines (Gresh and I have had stories in all these publications). \u00a0 In the meantime, you’ll be able to follow the adventure in real time right here!<\/p>\n

We’ll be posting from Baja every day, with great photos and great stories, so stay tuned!\u00a0 And hey, while you’re here, why not sign up for our blog update notifications? \u00a0 Just add your email address to the widget you see on this page, and you’ll be eligible for our quarterly adventure motorcycle book giveaway!<\/p>\n
