In reply to John. Also, might want to look closer. It’s actually a front license plate holder over a high mud guard like a dirt bike. It doesn’t have a beak.

In reply to Justme. The 1988 BIG 750 was the first beaked bike

In reply to James. She gets paid to review so it's a biased review.

In reply to John. BMW didn't pioneer the beak. It was designed by Ichiro Miyata for the big Suzuki DR way back when.

In reply to John. The 1991 Suzuki DR800S "Big" had a beak before BMW adopted it on their GS models. I suppose you could say BWM popularized the beak beginning with the 1994 1100 GS.

In reply to Phil. 650 Adventure tourer based on the Interceptor 650 has been featured in Royal Enfield Investor Presentation. So, could be a MY2025 launch.

I didnt really do in depth research about it, but the current model – at least some production years of it – seem to have a really odd electrical system. I read about both gear switch and sidestand switch allowing such a high parasitic current that the battery is emptied within days. Lets hope RE engineers have done their homework. And anybody here who rembers that the footpeg broke off in one of the veey first promotional videos? I am still quite a bit sceptical about build quality of those bikes!

I wish they would try to make them lighter with a lower seat height. I have seen no specs on that but I fear they don’t care that much about what I consider the biggest drawbacks to most every modern adventure bike.

In reply to John. It wasn't BMW , but Suzuki Big DR 800 single cylinder in late 80s.
