Finally got my hands on a Royal Enfield Scram 411, and took it for a mixed 300km ride. Pleasantly surprised to find it a very enjoyable, smooth bike that invites me to pursue lots of Ride XP. Here's what I think of it, particularly compared to the Himalayan 411 I used to own and the custom Interceptor 650 scrambler I own now.
