Bear 650 Custom Build vs. Waiting for Upcoming REs?
Im torn between building a "Perfect" Bear 650 or waiting for the new 2026/2027 RE lineup.
The Plan: Buy the Bear 650 and immediately install a Tubeless Conversion Kit and YSS Suspension to fix the stock stiffness and tube-tire hassle.
Why not wait for the Himalayan 750? Weight. I suspect it’ll exceed 230 kg, which is a dealbreaker for me. I want the power of the 650 twin without the massive bulk.
Mod a Bear 650 now to make it perfect, or wait for future releases and risk them being too heavy?
