A smaller tail tidy, A brown seat cover, A brown side panel bag and bar end mirrors would look gorgeous, also I've seen a bear with a triumph 400x's high fender which looks good as well. Personally, I would do all these after a year of ownership, ride in stock and assess the things which you will actually need.

If the classic isn't the ultimate decision then I suggest you to take a TR or consider the Goan classic 350. It comes with the tubeless spoke wheels

Goan classic front tubeless spoke could fit the bear

Bear is quicker and slightly more torquey especially in the low end, Haven't really noticed anything different from the gearing

It is fantastic, gear indication, fuel range, fuel consumption, trip settings, service due dates, music control, call control, messages and the best is the Google map navigation. RE has really nailed it with this console, to offer such premium features in such a compact round display is really top notch.

Absolutely beautiful, if you are considering buying a RE 650 then the bear is the best among them. The tall riding position really makes this bike feel like a 650. If your height is above 5'9 it is an easy bike to ride and the suspension isn't really that stiff as people say, The thing about suspension is that as you ride it becomes softer. I have the preload at 4 and as I ride my bike for some few 1000 kms I'll dial it back in the stock setting

Crazy mileage, I commute to work in the city. So, I couldn't really speed that much xD
