Hi, thank you for watching. I'm 180 odd with an inside leg of 32, I had lots of bend left in knee and could stand up and the sear was a few inches below - flatfooting both feet. I'd say a 30 inside leg should be ok. But I'd sit on one and confirm. It's a really light bike and one leg should not be any weight - but again, please sit on one. I still miss the bike and was one of my best I've had. Hope it helps 👍

@@quinnpeaksbiker Thanks for your answer man! Keep going!

Thanks for watching! Sounds like you are a local, if you see me say hi! So many incredible stories and I've been lucky to travel a lot, there is so much to see and so little time! Take care and stay safe mate 😁🙏

Hola! Si hay un poco de riesgo pero no voy a comprar un moto chino otra vez, tenía demasiado problemas con la última q compre. Es un marca q conozco bien y siento q es más firme y conocido. Esta moto salió en India haces seis meses por alla, y después 3 horas de prueba siendo cómodo y tengo confianza. Después es la suerte 🤣🤣🤣. Q te tengas un súper día ☺️👍

Thank you for watching ☺️👍

Thanks for watching duck! It's a brilliant county an love it to bits! Nearby or moved away Neil? Take care and stay safe ☺️👍

Thank you for watching! There are quite a few reasons I'm getting this, it's specific to RE, the garage is less than a 15 min walk from work so servicing is easy, I have purchased a few bikes from this place so I've a good relationship there, I've got a good network so I get cheap parts from India (e.g. rear plate there is £20 not £90 as here), we are a RE family - everyone has always had a RE and my other bike is a bullet - I have Honda's too but my bullet I'm in perfect sync with so I'm biased towards RE. I've had a Chinese 125 and it was a disaster with my gear leaver falling off mid turn and then when trying to sell it a few weeks later only being offered 20%of what I paid for it. I'm never touching a chinese bike again, also my personal beliefs, free Tibet! Ktms are too frantic, I'm 45 and a slow plodder and the RE is comfortable and calmer to ride. Hope it outlines my thoughts. Take care mate😊👍

I'm on a Transalp at the moment its too heavy for me and I'm just looking for something lighter that can do a bit of everything. This bike seems the ticket, cheaper insurance, 320 miles to it's 17l tank, can do motorways, can off road, cheap official parts and dealership is 5mins from work. It's looking very positive

Hi, thank you for watching! Yes I'm taking the white with tubeless. Tubeless are only available in black sadly. The accessories....a good question, no info on those yet, hopefully soon 😇😇

Thank you for watching Billy, really appreciate it. I should have spoken about it but after 2 back injuries over the past years my Transalp Is just too heavy for me. My bullet is a show bike and a forever bike for me so I'm precious about it. This new one I think can do a bit of everything and I'm planning on having a month in Spain travelling around making a secret series I'm not supposed to talk about yet 😇🤫🤫 but I think it will do me good! Not crazy expensive that if anything happens it's the end of the world but capable enough of a partner to get through most things. Agree with you on the state of roads ATM! 😊👍👍 Take care and stay safe 🙏

Both great bikes, nearest honda dealer is in Nottingham and that puts me off. Having 3 year warranty and euro breakdown is nice too. I am thinking about getting a bigger bike for 2 up and to blast about at some point and it will probably be a honda. Just need to keep putting the pennies together 😇👍👍

Thank you for watching! If I had a 411 I think I'd be making the same decision. I'd be looking at a litre bike probably. Take care and stay safe mate 😊👍

I feel exactly the same way! I've tried the 600 and loved it but had the 650 for almost 3 years now. It's going to be replaced by the 450. I needed something lighter, cheaper to run and newer! I can't wrench or fix things so it has to go. Try one and it would be interesting to hear your feedback 👍👍

@@quinnpeaksbiker I will see it on my local bike show a week from now .. On the other side of Europe 😁. I was test riding the CRF 300 Rally two years ago.. Was ok, but too soft suspention and needed upgrade, so it was too expensive... If I only was 50 kilos 😁

Yes I saw it, very impressive! Nice to see what it can do! Thanks for sharing 🙏🙏

All the fun of owning bikes and having fun! Time will tell how good they are👍👍👍

Ayup mate! Thanks for watching. We can only ever make decisions according to the data we have at that moment. Everything I have says there are lots of options but this I can afford and have money left over to spend on a trip. I'd rather do that than be paying the bank for 2 years and never go anywhere. Everything in life is an opportunity cost and I think I can live with this one. Take care and stay safe mate 😁🙏

Thank you Gregor! The issue I'm seeing is that the accessories are not available in full until September time I think, they are out in 3 stages I'm told and no one has any idea when that will be 😂😂😂 will be interesting 😇

I get. How long you have to wait for the bike delivery?

@@RRRRefuelRideRace they said 3rd week in April, so another 10 days I hope. I will ask for it to be sent direct to the ceramic coating so a day or two there in addition. Just remembered I need to do my insurance too 😂😂😂😂

I see. Not too long. Waiting for the first video.

Always welcome here my friend, looking forward to seeing you up this way. Hopefully this time being able to stop in places for longer! Take care and ride safe 😊🙏

Muito obrigado for watching! Hopefully you get it soon, Brazil would be amazing place to travel with it! Bahia to muddy Amazonas would be quite an adventure 🥳🥳🙏🙏💯

Hi Blake! I normally watch on the TV at work so can never comment! Saw you pop on my phone about your first Guinness and was a great vid! Would be interesting to get your comparison on the gold leaf we sell here and see how it differs? I'm curious but haven't gotten around to it yet! I've had an old klr650 for a few years when I used to live in south America. The klr had power there but it was slower, heavier and not as eager as the 450. The 450 feels well built and is more agile, also lighter steering than the KLR. The klr can be loaded up with quite a lot and keep on chugging! Had hay bales and sheep on the back of mine and it chugged on. Not sure the 450 would like that! If I could I'd get one but it was my first big bike and I did so many crazy adventures on it I'm nostalgic! But would be interesting to see how they compare. Thanks for watching and take care 😊👍🍦

It was in the middle I believe, in the low position it was really tight in the leg and at high it was quite comfortable too, please see the first look video on it. 32/33 inside leg kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9qdaLaAtNfFoY0.htmlsi=wVeHtcdM-sDTP8wG Hope it helps 👍

I thought from a demo at the NEC show the seat only had 2 settings 825mm - 845mm? Thanks

​@@garyfanticsfantastic9366yes I checked, it was the low setting in the regular seat, there is a low seat sold separately. My muddle, apologies 😇

Lovely part of the world! Only round the corner from you too! Would be happy to join you! Let me know when your about and let's plan something 🥳🥳🍦🍦🍦

Agreed 👍💯

The 411 is still solid, what my father in law rides and he loves it!

I was worried half way up when I thought, hopefully I don't drop this! Maybe wasn't the best thing to do 😂😂😂 thanks for watching!!

Great question! If you get a chance to ride both make a review! Would love to learn more 😊👍👍

Woops, saw that mistake after I published it! Gold star mate for catching it! One of my favs too!! Especially the view from top of hill after the bridge 😍 as long as there are no horse boxes or tractors in front 😂😂😂

Good road that. Makes me want to get on the new Himalayan even more!

@@exeterrider would be more than happy to show you around here next time your up! Take care and thank you for watching mate 🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊😊

Competition is great for us consumers! More options and hopefully better value! Thanks for watching 😊🙏🙏

Thank for watching Garry! I do agree with you, the smaller singles can tour but wouldn't want to do 2up fully loaded!! A 650 would be preferable!!! If it does show up, it will be interesting and something to genuinely think about. I think as a long distance travel bike it's going to be a really good choice, the rtw lot will be having a look at this I've seriously! 300 mile plus tank and very well priced. I will have to ditch metal panniers I think and try and go light as I can for the Spain trip! Take care and stay safe mate!

I think the 411 is still a great bike especially on back roads and will be in demand for new riders. I might be tempted by more power at some point, but I will be happy to get the insurance down for now 😂😂😂

Think it's going to need some time for people to make up thier minds with it, hopefully it can prove itself! Thanks for watching Ken!

Hi, thank you for watching. I took this on a trail through the peaks, it was quite fast. So perfect for open and clear trails, on the sharper more technical parts it was more work and a water crossing was interesting too. But it's a new bike and I'm getting used to it, Id imagine after a few months I'd have no issues. But for the limited experience I had I reported what I found, hopefully in the future it will be easier.

Thanks for watching. Sorry should have been more clear. Fully loaded two up touring going massive 500 mile days on autobahns - kind of touring. I'm going to have a month solo in Spain this September travelling around and I think it's going to be ideal for that. But a tour that wants you to do 400 miles on the motorway keeping up with a fast group ain't my jazz and this ain't the bike to do that on comfortably. Sorry, should have been more clear, thank you for asking it😊🙏

​@@quinnpeaksbikerI think the difference is between sports touring and adventure touring.

@@quinnpeaksbiker These days I don’t tour two up, that’s what I bought the Pan European for originally. Five hundred miles on the Autobahn is my idea of hell. I don’t like doing it in a car let alone on a motorcycle. In fact despite touring extensively my 500X has only been on two motorways since I bought it in 2021 and both were less than 1 km. The first was to cross the Loire on the most convenient bridge and the second was to bypass Issoire, saving a 5km detour through the town centre. I too am heading down to Spain soon, to spend some time around Soria. There won’t be any motorways used on that trip either.

@@bulthaosen1169 I don’t agree. Blasting down motorways has nothing to do with sports touring. Sports touring is having a motorcycle that is designed to carry you and your gear over long distances but is still a dynamic ride that allows you to enjoy the route. Adventure touring to me is having a motorcycle that allows you to leave paved roads as and when you want. Motorway riding is something that too many motorcyclists seem to think has to be done. Their loss.

@@davidmatthews3093 I see your point. Long straight lines with dull background does seem pretty mundane.

Hi, thank you for watching. The airflo was clear and it wasn't bad in the helmet without earplugs in. With plugs for a longer run I'd imagine it quite comfortable. For the levers I found them comfortable as were compared to the bullet and Transalp as they were wider and my fingers fell into the wedge shape so they sat well. Sorry I didn't see more than that but I'd imagine lots of better aftermarket parts out soon. Perhaps an upgrade from re over time? Take care and ride safe 😊🙏

Thank you for watching and your feedback! That's very reassuring and helpful. Thank you 😊🙏

Thank you for watching, if it helps I only showed 30 mins of 3 hours filmed. Would you like a virtual ride? Can upload if you are interested?

Thank you for watching, if you use it to tour it's touring - I think it will make a good do it all travel bike. I had 3 hours on the bike in the peaks where I live on a farm, had a blast around my regular track. I only showed the first 30 mins to Matlock for the video. Categories of bike don't exclude it from a use, i need it to do a lot and it's not perfect but will do a bit of everything ok. Enough for me 😉 hope it helps if your thinking about getting one

The offroad capabilities of this bike are way beyond what a Transalp gives you..🧐

@@quinnpeaksbiker So you did try it off, or on a loose surface roads? I think you should have mentioned that, if you had no footage since this is it's main strength and for an "Adventure bike", crucial. Any bike can go on the road, but take the most popular Adventure bike the BMW GS 1200, it's absolutely useless off road. They really should reclassify that along with many others.

Which Transalp are you talking about? The new Transalp is considerably quicker. Isn’t it you who is being foolish? Just because something is marketed as an adventure bike doesn’t mean it won’t be good for touring or commuting, quite the opposite in fact.

If you like the previous himi you will like it ,,it's lots better off road... Changed the sprocket added few stuffs been riding it for 8 months now the seat is actually better then the previous one

It's definitely got more go than the 411, I've tried an acceleration from rest and quite surprised me! The rear seat sits just above the riders seat and acts like a back stop. Kept me in place. At one point was trying to overtake and really pulled and had to hold on. It's definitely an improvement! Thanks for watching mate! 😊🙏

Hi Gregor! Thank you for watching! The vibes here quite strong at 6k rpm, after 7 it reduces. Before there are spots where there is nothing. So at 30mph in 4th, 40mph in 4th at 50 in 5th, it's finding the right gear combination. The engine sounds like there should be vibrations but there are none to little in the seat, foot pegs or handlebars. I have carpel tunnel so I was quite concerned about it. But the ride by wire does not keep tension in the handle so that strong pull is not there all the time making it quite comfortable and easier than the Transalp. I rode it for 3 hours and did 60 miles. I only used 1/3 if the footage I had and might release another video with the rest of the riding soon. I ordered the white as I asked for TUBELESS. Tubeless is only available in black rims. The black and gold model I was riding was TUBED. Gold rims are TUBED only. That's the reason I went with the white as it looked better with black rims and I decided a more visible bike was better - also the black was marking very easily and the white was feeling a little more resistant. Thank you for asking, good things to clarify! Take care my friend 🙏😊🍦

@@quinnpeaksbiker Aha, I see. Thanks a lot. I think that even those vibes that were present will be reduced after time, at last at some extent after the proper break-in. Oh, I read that some are with tubes. Ok, then the black rims are the only solution, but OK. If so, my pick would be the brown one. I think the brown one is also the cheapest among them. Yours has a bit higher price, but I am not sure how much. Thanks a lot bro. I plan to try it next week. :)

@@RRRRefuelRideRace here in the UK the tubeless are 6250 white or 6300 black, the tubed are about 5700. It's basically 500 difference. Hope it helps 🙏

Thank you for watching! The TFT was clear most of the time tbh, I didn't like the indicator too much as it's tiny and one turn I didn't switch it off it didn't really get my attention. I think it's going to make a good travel bike but not going to keep up with a bigger bike on the motorway, especially the Deauville😂 Also almost no accessories available at the moment! I think most will be available by September.

Thank you for watching! I think as long as I keep in mind what it's not, I'm going to be good. I don't really blast about, unless ice cream is involved 😜 overall time will tell and I think it's looking positive 😁🍦🍦

Thank you for watching! I hope it saves my back and was quite easy to pick up too! It's going in the right direction 😊😊😊

I think the environment temperature was about right, I didn't play much with the settings, but hopefully do something more comprehensive when I get it! The build quality is good, everything feels quite solid

Thank you for watching!! 😊😊

Thanks for watching, appreciate it👍

Thanks ER, I think there has been an issue with this release, it's not been showing up on peoples page, not sure how to remedy it! But have my MOT this Friday as as long as it's not chuckin it Down, should get a video or two out of it! But thank you so much again, you have been a brilliant sport throughout and can't wait for a repeat, without cameras 😂😂😇😇😇

Thank you! We will have to plan one for us at some point!! 🎉🎉🎉

Thanks Exmouth. This video was a decent representation of what I’m like after one pf our live shows ! 😂🤪🤪 Grumpy and fragile ! Cheers Dave, Brian and Rupert ❤️🐕

Thanks Martin. This was grumpy ER, desperately trying to sober up in time to bring Quinn to his pre-arranged pickup point at the allotted time 😂 It didn’t help that we spent two hours that morning trying to get Quinn a data SIM card, each time without success. We kept failing at the final hurdle, which wasted a lot of time. I wanted to take him down the road to Carboneras but the whole SIM card odyssey meant that we ran out of time 😂 Cheers Martin. Fancy a good night out in Mojacar when you’re over here ? 🤪

Oh well, Carboneras will still be there for Quinn's next visit Garry. I don't think I'll be too bothered about a SIM card in October, but it'll certainly make a pleasant change having someone to drink with, so yep, looking forward to it. 😎

@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Sweet. We'll have to coordinate nearer the time. I am always up for a day or two in Mojacar, makes such a nice change from my usual village life ! A good night out followed by a nice day's riding sounds like a real treat 👍🏻 Let's make it happen ! Cheers Martin, Garry

Well I'm hoping to be camping for most of my nights away, so by the time I get to Mojàcar I'll be desperate for two or three nights of comfort! Yes, it will happen. 😊

@@martintraffordmoorlandbike7121 Yeah. Don’t ask me to sleep in a tent ! I need my creature comforts 😂😇 It’s an excellent plan. Fire off an email when you are thinking of booking the hotel and we’ll coordinate 👍🍺😝
