Damn!!! Such a detailed first impressions! Even I missed some of the points you mentioned too! Can’t wait for the 450 to come in your garage!! 😍♥️

Superb review . that is why we are waiting for you to review this bike as we know you are the best person for the Himalayan and we can trust on thoughts.

Considering RE is offering a "Rally" version in the coming days, I'd hope they offer adjustable suspension and rear shock as accesories.

To Ben: Ben, you are one hell of a machine! All those tweaks done on you suits perfectly well and applicable. You are one of a kind from all the Himalayas all over the world. 450 is just your younger brother. Do not get jealous, you are good enough.

Ben, the exaggeration on switchgear design is just to the bring that exact vintage feel. As I've been telling, coming from the old Himalayan myself, the current bike is lightyears ahead in terms of quality, fit, finish. Enjoy your new motorcycle.

Dear Dr.BEN I was just waiting from your point of view. Thanks for your honest reply. Very happy that you have booked ONE. So that we all get much more detailed information that the company doesn’t give us. Please make an meet-up on your new delivery of Himmy 450. Congratulations in advance.

Lots of interesting facts!

So glad to hear that you are going to get the new Himmi! 🤩

Outstanding observation ! Hoping RE finds this video and resolve all these niggles in the second batch 👻

Great video as always. I'll get one myself as soon as it'll be available here in Germany

If somebody has to buy the new 450, man that should be you. Looking forward to your modifications and how you are gonna change that bike.

Super Ben I think you know me 😊 Super voice Fun to listen

Once again! Spot on! Great job brother! Waiting for 450 Himalayan!!!

Interesting!

Nice review

You should be in designing team of RE

Loved your analysis ben. I was looking forward to it. Thanks !! Can you speak about it's flickability vis a vis it's weight in Indian traffic conditions whenever you get a chance ? Thanks

very informative. any idea what pitch chain the Triumph Speed 400 uses??

Thanks for a detailed review, bike looks spot-on. But I like slow speed engine and plushey suspension 😂.. coz Hips don't lie.

Similar to Pavlin from "Motorcycle Adventures" who had the old Tenere 660 and had done quite a few mods and Yamaha addressed all of them in the new T7.

Do all the variants have excel aluminium rims or just the Hanle Black one?

🔥🔥

As far as I know the 520 pitch is a very common spec on Indian bikes like the 650 twins (which also have a DID chain, I think) and the KTM 390 models. I am not surprised that this bike gets Excel rims as the 650s have them too. I checked out the bike and the switchgear quality seems fine to me. The rotary switches are a good aesthetic choice and the quality looks adequate. The only issue is with the joystick which lacks tactile feedback.

I have 18 model Himalayan 20k done, there's no sign of clutch worn but the bike's mileage suddenly dropped....can anyone suggest

The Instrument Cluster and Headlamp can be adjusted heightwise

Brilliant video bro.. capturing few things which were never brought up. Fantastic eye to detail. It really broadens the understanding of the new Beast . Thank You bro

Bro can you tell what's a 520 pitch chain ? What's the stock chain setup on Himalayan and how 520 pitch chain affects the bike performance?

you mentioned the rims are excel Asia aluminium rims , can these rims be used on the 411 .

Ben, did you feel that the bike is top heavy?

R u gonna get this one

Why do you call it himaleyan not Himaa la yan

450 is disaster

I tried it, lacks the charm and the character of the original. RE is shooting too far with this one.

La 411 beaucoup plus belle 450 trop moche

This guy is in absolute love with defining the Himmy, could feel that. Great. #411community. 🫂
