In recent years, Royal Enfield has rebirth in a fashion that's nothing short of astonishing.
The company has begun building bikes that finally compete on the world stage, and bikes which the world actually wants. Case in point, the Himalayan 450 I just can't seem to stop thinking about, nor writing about, in the hopes that Royal Enfield will see fit to give me one for a long-term test (HINT, HINT, WINK, WINK). And the latest motorcycle, the Bear 650 Scrambler debuting today, looks to follow that same methodology as it looks awesome and seems to have all the right specs.
However, I must admit that when I first opened up the pictures that Royal Enfield sent over, I couldn't help but notice the striking resemblance the Bear 650 had with Triumph's Scramblers. I mean, I get imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but that might be taking the old adage a little too far.
Just look at the two side by side and tell me the designs aren't almost carbon copies.
