My youngest son and his partner rode 15,000 miles over four months around Europe last year. Thirty five countries from Gibraltar to Finland and a lot of places in-between, much of it off-road. They did their own servicing and tyre changes en route. Both bikes are still in daily use.Epic. Just bought a low mileage, well-sorted 411 myself, after riding my son's Himmy to the Overland event in Oxfordshire this year. The Himmy is a future classic. Love and peace.

It was a pleasure to watch you thrash the Himalayan through those trails. The video was superb and your thoughts about the machine mirror my own. I'm old now and arthritis and a sore back keep me bumbling along the dirt and gravel mountain roads here in Central Pennsylvania. I can only dream about trails like the ones you were on. I've had my 2022 Himalayan a little over a year now and it is my favorite motorcycle. I downsized to the Himi from a BMW K75 in part because of weight and in part because I wanted to spend more time off the pavement. I hope to be able to put as many miles on mine as you have on yours!

Love all these beautiful aerial shots. What a great video!

Great video, thanks. My Himalayan now has 25,000 miles on it and runs fine still. Just added Bridgestone AX41 tyres this week, will be taking them off-road as soon as possible. I live about 2 miles from Hitchcocks and about 8 miles from Redditch, the ancestral home of RE.

Great review! Interesting bike, some people hate it and some love it for what it is......a mountain goat. Well done!

you took the words right outtof my mouth,, As soon as I saw a pic of the Himalyan in 2017 I new I had to have one,, I just love it,I,v had it over 4 yrs and it just gets better... ONe mod I can recommend is replacing the head stock (ball bearings) with a taper roller bearing,,its just better,, This year I gave my bike a revamp,,(instaed of trading it) fitted a big bore kit ,tec cam ,,and all round YSS suspension,,,if I,m honest, I do,nt use the extra power that much ,but having a little extra power coming out of corner s just does it for me.... I agree this bike is too heavy to comfortably ride off road,, but the lanes I ride ,,its the boss,,and it handles corners really well.... oh well enough said ,,, ( we are the people in the know! all the GS riders are so far from reality its laughable!)

Thanks for the great video and rundown mate, going to pick one of these up as soon as I can!

That’s me: I just want to bumble along in town and on back roads on my Himalayan. But it actually does pretty well when you push it a little through the curves. It’s not a “great” bike in terms of fit and finish, but it is a great ride at a great price.

Great review...I’m closing in on 30k km and I still love it. I pretty much do everything with it.

loved the vid man , love what you done to it too

Thanks for your review, it was fun to watch. I'm picking one up, hopefully this month.

One of the best/most honest reviews. Almost bought one as my first bike last year. Actually test rode all (5) RE models and loved them all. Haha. Couldn’t decide. Tested some old vintage bikes. Didn’t want other people’s headaches and a 40-50 year old bike for my first bike. Test rode a Moto Guzzi and was sold right away. Now that I’ve been riding for a year, I want a 2nd bike… because… it’s just what us car/truck/bike people do. Haha. Gotta get one of these this year! Thanks dude!

You and the bike are in your element, Thanks for keeping it real , That is one heck of a good looking (Tractor.... ) Awesome review man.

Outstanding vid in every way. Great footage, great riding, and as a Himmy owner I can’t disagree with anything you said 👌🏼 I’m sharing this one 👍🏼

It would have been nice to hear about it's on road abilities too. Thanks man. Fun vid

First Excellent Video Second Glade to hear about your Himalayan I can tell you have excellent modifications not to mention you reassured me of my purchase I purchased last year the Scram 411 and coming up on a year of my Royal Enfield in August same frame and engine (BS6) Lastly nothing but Fun and Bliss as well Enjoy Fellow Himalayan Rider Enjoy Deuces✌🏼

I get all the things you said about the stuff you bring along. Great!. I often ramble into areas that have no cell phone coverage and there is very little traffic. If you break down, you're hooped!

I love all the orange gear it really makes it your own style! Looking for pink gear for my himalayan!

luv this set up talking about a bike I'm interested in

Thank you for that. Great review

Man this was an amazing watch. Really love your content, new sub right here dude! Watching you I now can't wait to pick mine up tomorrow and get some adventures under way. Thanks for all the info, humour and filming 10/10

This is some great riding. Skills to pay the bills

10 thousand miles on my himmy.( Mr burns) not one problem. Bloody love it.❤

You have good commo gear and the right attitude for riding a fun slow bike

Really enjoyed. Kinda perfect customer, for pretty much the perfect bike. If you need something faster to travel in a different manner, you're not doing yourself any favors IMHO. I traded mine (after 10,600 miles in a year) for an INT650 (which I LOVE!) to deal with my crappy city life and really miss it. I'd love to relocate to an area where I, the elements, and a Himalayan are a perfect match. Yes, very manageable for 5'6"ish folk, and will carry anything......a bicycle, inflatable kayak, exquisite lawn art :)

Awesome video, liked and subscribed

Couldn't not agree with you more Great video Ride safe

Mine is a hate love relationship with my Himmy. Fun to ride, until the engine cuts out at low rpm's. I have dropped the bike several times from just the engine cutting out at the most inconvenient times, which happens constantly. Its favorite places to cut out are traversing muddy roads and heavy city traffic. My speedometer is literally held together with polymer glue. The internal screws started rattling around at about 1500km. Opened the case and found the cheap plastic board mounts crumbling, so I glued everything back together with a vibration proof polymer. My front directional vibrated apart so it got glued as well. The front and rear seats, are the most uncomfortable that I have ever had on a bike. I have a 32" inseam and presently just use a small 1" thick pad to keep me high enough so my knees do not hit the tank bars. My wife who is small finds her seat painful as well, after only a 20 minute ride. At 9,000km I had to replace the damaged steering bearings. The heavy bike apparently does not like my rough roads here in the South American Andes. But it is cheap to run at 85mpg and it is a fun ride as well as long as you don't have to get there fast. I am thinking of picking up a super Meteor for the highway, I can have two RE bikes for the price of one Jap bike, and polymer glue is cheap...

What an amazing vid. One of the few that didn’t bitch endlessly about “highway speed”, that’s so boring and out place in my book for a bike like this. I loved the audio, made me feel I was riding out there with you guys. Many people feel that bike falls short in every department but I have ridden way worse bikes and managed to have a blast so…

Great setup - sort of thing that you would expect to see going on a world tour. It's like the AK of the adventure bike world.

Im now at 28000km whatever that is in miles and i did the TET in Albania Montenegro and Serbia with it. I havend done any offroad before And my bike is stock Except Mitas Tires Now that im more comfortable offroad i feel like im gonna upgrade a bit and i feel like 1500€ to make this amazing bike even better is totaly worth it

Nice review. Thanks for the tips on changes. I love my Royal Enfield Himalayan though I mostly used it for commuting across London so far. The stock tyres were more than adequate for that. But now I want to take it on some gentle trails so will be looking for a change. I agree Royal Enfield have got it right in terms of producing accessible affordable fun motorcycles 👍

Seems like everyone wants to go one tooth bigger on the counter shaft sprocket, but IMHO you did it the right way.

Great video and bike 👍

Great video. I am waiting for the 450cc one.

what a great review, and I love your riding. I have a Kawasaki Super Sherpa, but after two big falls I want to sell that bike and either buy a scrambler to do almost only touring (eg CL500) or just learn to ride offroad and not exceed my limits, which is hard as I am loosing 70 IQ while on top of a bike lol. The only thing that concerns me is how slow it is with only 24HP oh and that Scram411. I dont know which to choose

Best off road on Himalayan ❤I ever seen ❤

i got the same model and color. and i could say the same i absolutely rip on the thing and it never has issues.

Very well maintained, designed bike. Thank you 🇮🇳🙏

10:20 such a proud papa 😊

good review

as a newbie to the himalayan please could you run through your kit list especially tools for repair and maintenance? what do you HAVE to take on the road. Thanks in advance, perfect video, mix of info and idiocy ;) 😂

Hiya, thanks great vid. What did you do to your spokes, is that paint or did you replace them? mine are getting a bit corroded.

Thanks for the video! Could you do one on your choice of luggage for it?

Amazing video. Have you seen the new itchy boots videos? she got to test ride the new himalayan preproduction bike in ladakh India.

Did you put different bars on it? Great content btw, I want one of these bikes so bad. Those trails look fun as hell too, instant sub.

I love mine.

I wonder if you guys would be interested in riding the fantic caballero rally explorer. It's a bit pricier than himalayan but have a bit more horsepower and is way lighter. It would certainly be a matchup if ever someone can compared the two.

I own a Honda Africa Twin and a KTM 150 dirtbike. I recently aquired a 2021 Himalayan. There's something odd about the steering. At really low speeds, the steering gets really stiff. At higher speeds you can't even notice but once you stop or slow turn you feel it. It's like the tires are grabbing on to the street. At first I thought air pressure but it was 30 psi. Then I looked closer at the tire wear. They have 5400 miles but there is still very much knobbies on it. One thing to note.....the knobs are not evenly worn. Some stick out more than others. Have you noticed anything like this? Is this tire wear likey the issue? What do you think?

Great riding on a great motorcycle, proud Himi owner from Italy here! I see you are digging hard on trails, did you make some upgrades on suspension?

Great vid. Any probs with gear and rear brake levers when it gets dropped? I was pondering a big engine guard to protect them as well

I’m gonna need to know more about those crash bar bags my guy.

They are on a major sale right now end of model. Can get the Scram for 3,000 + fees 🤯

Thanks! Very helpful. I'm on the fence of buying Himmy or the CRF300 Rally, but with the Rally being pretty much unavailable on the used market in the UK as well as it's higher price point, I was swaying towards the Himmy, but really afraid of reliability issues as well as the lack of power. Can't believe you've done 20k on it and still loving it! Regarding the brakes, how much did those bybre cost you? I suppose you added them yourself? Did you do any suspension upgrades? Many Thanks!

If I wasn’t 6’3” the Himalayan was in my top 3 bikes I wanted to purchase last year as my first bike. Amazing bike and jealous of you shorter riders who can ride it comfortably. However it’s just too short and uncomfortable for us trolls.

You have reignited my interest in Himalayan as my first bike. Nice spoke wheels. Where did you order them? Also any changes to the handle bar?

What cruise control device are you using man? I need one for my himi. GREAT VIDEO!

Good motor bike

Great video. What part of the country are you located? I love these trails.

I HAVE THE HIMMY 2021 AND WAS WONDERING IF YOU PUT RISERS ON THE FRONT LOWER FENDER? I AM ADDING YELLOW FOG LIGHTS TO MY ENGINE GUARDS, LOWERING THE LIGHT BEAM SO AS TO NOT BOTHER ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I WANT TO BE SEEN BY THESE BABBOONS WHO ARE USING THEIR PHONES OR WATCHING A MOVIE WHILE THEY DRIVE!! AT WHAT MILES DID YOU ADJUST THE VALVES, OR IS IT DAMN NECESSARY, AT ALL? THANKS FOR THE VIDEO....THE ROAD RUNNER IN CO.

What up with the orange spokes? Aftermarket wheels? I'm considering aluminum to lighten it a bit.

I like this bike so much, but... I really like the look of the Scram even more. Would you say the 21" vs 19" front wheel would make such a huge difference in offroad ability? TIA

Is Pine Green a decent color? just asking because I can get a 1k off that versus Matt black or other colors. thanks!

What exhaust do you have on you Himalayan?

Hi! What sprocket did you changed on the bike? Front or back? And of how many teeth?

I had a huge issue with their customer service. I waited 3 months to get a replacement part.

What seat are you running?

What did he lose at 5:42?

I had one. Very cool concept but just ridiculously slow. A scooter has more quickness.

The tires you recommended, do they make a lot noise on the pavement?

I'm so sad they are axing this version for the new 450.

Which year himalayan?

arent the 24 horse power just too little? im considring it but it sounds too low. can i cruise with it on the highway when im not having fun? because thats what it will do most of the time

What fell off your helmet when you hit that branch? Lol

People like its becuase it's cheap. Can you really compare it with a African twin or other ADV's in pure performance ?? Nahh

U r so lucky u can modify your bike in your country . In India we can't even change the exhaust 🤒

Bro which country , where do you live

Just put a deposit down on a red one!

Lost your ear at 5:40 :(

Super annoying audio

This channel is dope! 🫡
