My feelings as well....love the look

Looks are subjective.

It looks rugged and fit for the job. Its sad when people prefer looks over functionality.

Same here, I absolutely love the looks of the Himalayan. For me the only good looking adventure bike in that class.

Bro i own one... trust me himalayan is an eye catcher. It's completely different then conventional bike hence people will turn around to check this

Nice choice .

"Climbs like a sloth on crack" Hahahah that's a hilarious analogy.

I've been seeing reviews... and comparisons. Royal Enfield manages to get a fraction of the power of that KTM gets of a similar cc engine... so my honest question is: Does it feel slow or underpowered with those 23 HP ??

@@guzzidelgado it does but only on highways

Two tire tirade ,,,, what is the color of your Himalayan please reply

Ian Gillett sounds like an amazing trip Ian.

My friend did that with hero splender

@@BikeWorldTVshow a bike trip to the Himalayas is just out of the world....

@@chandranshpandey1929 lmao

Mark Lowry Yes, a nice machine. I don’t agree that this bike is ugly. Being properly fit for purpose carries its own style and beauty. Les

and the Xpulse just does everything better, including the quality.

@@thinkride3873 i don't think so Did you ride both the bikes?

@@Torquebeast650 Yes, and I have ridden them back to back a lot of times. Close friends own both. Himalayan has a more commanding riding position, but the stock windshield sends gusts of wind directly to my helmet visor. Xpulse is betted in that regard. Also, Himalayan does have oodles of low end torque, but the poor handling and scraping of center stand at every turn gets tiring at the place from where I come.

@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ The both can do same comfortable speeds, so that's not a point. Give or take 5kmph more on the Himalayan.

Thanks!

Legit why I clicked 😂

Me too

Himalyan puts a huge smile on everyone's face❤️

Here as well. You really love the bike after riding it because it's so much different than other pocket rockets.

It's a cheap bike to maintain as well, everything is metal, very few things to break

Look the video at ladhk that himalayan breaks into two pieces

@@dazzlemaibam2290 That man hit the pickup truck and later he hit the rock badly so the chassis of the Himalayan bike broke into two pieces nothing withstand with such accident the Fighter Jets or big planes can turn in pieces due to such of different accidents so the Great Titanic ship or else etc but sometime we can blame built quality but RE bikes are good quality built I see everywhere they last more than 100 years especially the classic models

@@jopborlangkhyriemmujat7655 yeah right the buitt quality is good i to have conti MR. Clean 650

I've been seeing reviews... and comparisons. Royal Enfield manages to get a fraction of the power of that KTM gets of a similar cc engine... so my honest question is: Does it feel slow or underpowered with those 23 BHP ?? How effective would it be to get some speed to overcome a truck at a normal higway??

@@guzzidelgado I feel the power sufficient enough in the Indian roads. But at sometimes I wish it had a bit more juice. KTM is much more costly than the Himalayan.

Harinandan Rajeev thanks !

@Chaudhry Vikrant ror but you can't do that all day

Chaudhry Vikrant ror thanks for the answer!

danteelite Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. 👍🏻

I'm American and 100% agree with you on how our reviewers have talked about these bikes, especially the Himalayan. Every review talks about how they might be good for light off-roading. And then these guys show that to be well and truly false. These are hugely capable and deserve a spot at the table.

A great KZfaqr that you might be interested is Joe Ryan. He travels around Australia on his himmy

They are both great bikes which suit different people and use.

I own an XR650R and a KTM 1290 SAR and I'd love to own a Himalayan.

The new BS6 emmision norms version in India has now got the switchable ABS, so that's probably coming out soon.

Naaa.. Don't worry about that anymore. The new Himalayan has a switchable ABS. So we are good to go. Yes it is utilitarian and "agricultural"... But for that price, you get a motorbike that just feels like one ! You don't get fancy electronics, no fiber body part. It is just man and machine. And I like it that way !

You could always pull the ABS fuse to stop the working of ABS

@@aswinkumar.p993 They said that in the video. I proposed installing a switch so that it could be turned on and off without disassembling portions of the bike each time. A couple of other people said the new model will indeed have a switch for this purpose.

Yep the BS6 version does have a switchable ABS system

Bhak

Royal Enfield is a Company bro not a Bike . LoL

Wish you good luck bro.

Good luck 👍

The KTM is more for road fun and a little of adventure while the Himalayan is more suited for adventure but less for road use. I wish they make a 500cc version of the Himalayan because in my opinion that will be the best adventure bike to go all around the word.

​@@billadmond9450hey have recently launched an 800 cc version of the Himalayan

@@Zaddyy77 its value for money.

@@wetcabbage2632 exactly.

Dude it's not a track based machine. Himalayan has enough low end torque, it's a truly off-road and also a turing machine.

Does it easily go up to 100 kmph ?

Madhav A R thanks for the info!

@@madhav.a.r but adventure 390 is better on highway too

Also ktm owned by Bajaj company. And probably ktm bikes manufacturing in india ✌️ all models

Bro how is Yejdi Adventure?

You have never been forced to, you just followed the hype, bikes like Honda xr400, xr650L Yamaha xt660 xtz250 drz400 dr350 dr650, klr 250, klr 650, were the adventure bikes of the past just didn’t had the hype

@@BBR-sp5qt If those japanese manufacturers refreshed those bikes people would have more interest. Some of the bikes you listed haven't had simple updates riders beg for in decades. Meanwhile, the european brands keep innovating and releasing new bikes every year.

Rein Hart I agree with you, instead of that Japanese brands are making bland street bikes disguised as adventure bikes, I think in the past were called dual sport bikes; Kawasaki are trying to fill the gap of the klr 650 with the versys 300, In some markets suzuki stop selling dr and drz and selling the vstrom 250. I like the ktm 390 but I would like a little more off road of it, the RE seems really under power regardless the torque every people here talk about it, Indian people claim is a tourer, and maybe for India it is they don’t go more that 100kms/hr. But in many countries we need at least 120-130 to talk about touring, in the segment 250-500 cc I think the ktm could be the one, because of power-weight ratio

So it’s the best adv bike because a youtuber did like it? Bike is heavy and underpowered, I love the look of it, but need more power

So, if I want to do 120kms/hr should get a street bike? The Himalayan is the only one adv bike over the 300cc can’t do it. Lightweight?? It’s heavier than a suzuki dr650 or about the same as a klr650 with half the power and torque, I really want to like the RE, but it needs more power, if RE put the 650 twin on it, they will hit the sweet spot of medium light adv bikes

Careful, the Royal Enfield's can cast a spell on you and before you know it your in love... 🌞

@@Grasshoppers_Path They already did mate. They already did...

I have an ftr 1200s, a zero fxs, zx10, Buell lightning and a himilayan. No kidding, I like the himilayan the most. You can’t beat it for the value.

Hey i watched your video few days ago really man you deserve alot of subscibers much love from INDIA 🇮🇳

Be easier to get a interceptor 650 and change the suspension + wheels. Or if it gets built it will be like a budget tt-85 guzzi

wait till next year.. how about 700cc?

@@runningwiththewolffs5568 they are going 1 cyl 700? i would really love that.

So I heard from a very good source, 700 40bhp

You got it dude...👍

It's personal preference 😜

I agree. It's like some alien ant. :)

All of it is ugly

it's like a mandis

Man ktm is fabir Himalayan is metal....

Ktm adv is not a complete off road bike. It's more suitable for highway cruise. Himalayan may be good on off road but after 100 km/hr vibrations builds up. But ktm runs like butter even in 140s. Ktm also has more features.

@@villavan caz of plastic. Lol

@@dwrkgrn1272 material science stupid

Michael Hayward I wish Enfield produced a bike with similar power to the KTM or KTM produced a bike that looked more traditional like the Enfield.

@Fat Freddy well he was comparing to 230kg bmws and ktms

Himmy is a pure, ment to be thrown around type of bike. Whereas Adv is just more like a lifted up duke tbh

Thanks

Hi what do you think RE Himalayan is better then spending 1.5lakhs more for ktm adventure ?

@@iam7382 Bro. If you have Budget then Go For KTM adventure. I loved the Himalayan for What it's good at. But I miss what's not it's good at - e.g. KTM can cruise happily at 120 while HIMALAYAN is capable to do 120 but I am Happy Cruising it around 80-95 kmph. On highways. Because 1. High speed is Not Allowed on Indian Highways. 2. You better ride safely, rash driving Challans are issued to everyone driving over 100 kmph. 3. Himalayan has 5 gears vs 6 gears on KTM. The Himalayan is a more traditional proven 4-5 year Refined bike with International Moto Vlogger Vouching for it's reliability after doing World Trip over this Machine. But In the End you should Decide what u want. kTM is a more faster and equally capable bike. Even though as a Adventure bike the Traditional design of Himalayan has many pros, but so does the Funky design and Ktm Duke inspired ktm Adventure has it's pros. In the End if You can't decide think this - does the 1.5 Lakh make "You" a better driver or more adventerous and the answer is no - It is you Mister and what u do with either a ₹42,000 bike or a ₹2.40 lac Himalayan or a ₹3.5 lakh KTM adventure duke That matters. The only thing that will change is the speed when u reach the destination and the comfort. If you just want to travel the World, My Solid advice is Buy a Hero Xpulse 200. And Use it, Spend the other 1 lakh on Roaming around India Instead of Begging parents for More Money because u spent 3.5 lakhs on a KTM because it had more gears and more flashy.

@@mrvk699 Thank you, brother, for such a nice and clear explanation :). I am always a fan of RE and especially Himalayan because I feel that bike is meant for me and is the best value for money bike. Hope we all can see Himalayan get better and better and maybe we all can see Himalayan 650 :D in coming few years.

@@iam7382 Yeah Buy it right away. But Since I own a Black-Red Rock edition. I would recommend you to get a Matte Version If You like to really at your bike and appreciate it. Because gloss black color takes a little bit more effort to maintain and dust off, and scratches are more visible on "Glossy" paint compared to Matte Paint.

tube tyre sucks
