Himalayan 450 Review: How It Rides In Real World Conditions

Рет қаралды 340,891

7 ай бұрын

I have extensively ridden the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 on the streets and in this video, I share my opinion on the bike with you. So far, I have refrained from even speaking a word on the bike, only sharing silent ride videos and letting the bike do the talking.
All that changes now. Here's what I actually think of the all-new Himalayan by Royal Enfield.
Let me know what you think of this bike and my opinion on it, in the comments below.
Thank you for giving me your time. I hope you have a great day.
Cheers

Perfect for someone looking to upgrade from a 200cc-350cc -- Yes Perfect for someone looking to downgrade from a 650-1200cc - Yes (The downgrade might just be a better option now) Perfect for city rides -- Yes Perfect for touring -- Yes Perfect for off roading -- Yes RE has nailed this time around. A bike of International standards. This bike is going to eat up the market share of a lot of big bikes. Its amazing to see an Indian manufacturer doing such great work and raising the bar for everyone else.

Try riding into Deli in rush hour - an Incredible experience on a 350 Bullet , riding in Rajasthan is amazing, the locals are superbly skilled whether on motorbike or car, the rules are there are no rules apart from move at a steady pace not fast not slow , even walking across a busy road is amazing , everyone gives everyone else a little room or should I say enough room - it’s an act of faith , I am sure the roads are more dangerous in NZ , I was told the accident rate per 100,000 vehicles is very low in India. An amazing place filled with amazing people.

With latest revised engine that they have fixed in the 3rd gen Duke 390 , which has a tad bit better low end torque, which i beleive will be the next upgrade for the next gen ktm adv 390. Abhinav's input on these two will be highly appreciated.TIA from Chennai.

I know everyone in the biker community is exited and overwhelmed with the big STEP that RE has taken 🤩. Almost every video says good things about RE Himalayan . Probably every RE fan might agree with me that every single bike in their lineup has a beautiful character to them and I don’t find a single RE motorcycle that I don’t enjoy riding . But I feel what we all want to hear is about the quality issues if any . If QA issues rather id say acceptable quality is there I’d say this Himalayan is an no brainer for me 😊

2000 ke below torque we need for off-road terrain sir.. but that's fine you'll just have to whack open the throttle to juice out the power.. anyways ..I love your review ❣️

@thecharanrxddy 7 ай бұрын

Engineers know that. High torque below that rpm will make the regular ride jerky and uncomfortable. During off roading we can simple rev up and release clutch to make those occasional jumps. This bike is a thoughtful project. We should appreciate it.

@MotoOut_reviews 7 ай бұрын

@@thecharanrxddy it's nothing like I'm complaining brother..and surely, engineer know it very well but this time Royal Enfield has surpassed their conventional style of keeping bore and stroke same and that has made this bike rev happy and that too is not an issue. But it's practically impossible for them or anyone to make this bike to have same torque curve and same amount of power with making torque available in very lower range. It's not the case that Engineers have deliberately done this.. otherwise every bike maker would have done this to complete with old school Royal Enfields who will give out 95% of their torque under 3500 rpm. It's because the bore and stroke ratio which always plays role. It's too technical stuff .. let us just enjoy this compitition and save some money for the fruitful results of this compitition....what says..

Hey mahn. I've been following ypu since the first video you put out on the cb350 highness. I was mighty impressed by the bike and i bought a blue cb350rs down the line. It's a great bike and I enjoy it thoroughly. But lately, I am feeling what I dreaded. The bike is feeling underpowered. Everytime I twist the throttle i want more power. And now I am loving the new Himalayan after watching and reading all the reviews and stuff. I just wanted to ask one thing. Is the new Himalayan just as easy to handle as the cb350. The cb has an insanely light steering and great mass centralisation. How does the Himalayan compare to the cb in that regard. Also will I miss anything from my Cb350 RS if i upgrade to the new Himalayan

@pradeepdm6972 7 ай бұрын

I was planning to buy cb350rs blue. Now this bike is making me think again 😥. How was your experience with RS? Any niggles? Even I felt when I test rode it that little more power would have been wonderful.

Thanks for the great video. Definitely thing about one. Just wish they sold Royal Enfield on the Island ( Prince Edward Island, Canada ) This is a perfect spot for that type of bike. Hoping they get them in NB so I can go and sit on one. I made a mistake getting the KTM 390 and then the Honda CB500X bough good bikes but not what I am looking for. Want something good off road and on road. Found the KTM lacking on the highway and the Honda lacking off road. Looks like the Himalayan 450 would suit the type of driving a lot of people do hear on the island.
