I really like your detailed review of Himalayan 450. I am a 5'4" guy and I sat on it, I didn't find any issues... Though I didn't get a chance to ride it. One more thing I would like to share with you is that I bought my interceptor 650 after watching your detailed review on it. Thanks buddy keep it up...

@motoroids 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for the appreciation. And yeah, the bike is more suitable to shorter riders than it appears

@JustAnAtheist 7 месяцев назад

At 5.4", did you tiptoe while sitting on the Hinalayan 452 ? I believe the seat was at 825mm seat height when you sat.

@joyroy7284 7 месяцев назад

@@JustAnAtheist yes I did... But being an interceptor rider for the last 4 years it shouldn't be a big deal. The best part is the tank and saddle is very narrow at the beginning and the seat is angled towards the back.

@JustAnAtheist 7 месяцев назад

@@joyroy7284 Interceptor isn't an offroader but Himalayan 452 is. If tiptoed, it's difficult to handle the Himalayan 452 in some situations as shown by bikewithgirl in her Himalayan 452 test ride.

Also the price will go up after 31st Dec - isn’t it a loss to pay more for the same motorcycle?

Can you fit GVI racks on it for the GVI Trekker 33/64 liter hard bags. I use my bikes for shopping so need the carrying capacity. The Honda CB500 side bags were OK but the weight of the top box empty was max for the rear rack, had to get a lighter top box, not good. I am thinking between the Himalayan 450 and the KLR 650 low, Liking the Himalayan 450 but worried about carrying capacity. The KLR draw back is fuel efficiency. KLR has a large tank but not very good miles per gallon.

Just in last two days on my adv I have spent approximately 1700rs due to punctures in rear wheel. Even in the city I found it hard to get a mechanic to have it fixed. Disadvantage for my 390 ADV is you have to carry it to KTM service center and then take the wheel to other repair shop. I am going to buy new alloy wheels and that going to cost somewhere around 16-20k. So again to genuine buyer of New Himalayan, think twice and don’t do FOMO buying. @motoroids Akhil if you are reading this, bro find me a good deal on alloy wheels😢.

I'm not sure I agree with you on the low-end torque comparison with the Scrambler 400X. I rode that bike last week and loved the tractability of the engine. It pulls clean from as low as 35 kmph in 5th gear. Rode the Himalayan today and it threw tantrum picking any speed from 45 kmph in 5th. I have a 2016 BS3 Himalayan from the first lot and yet I came back disappointed after riding the 450. It is a big improvement over the old one in most areas but low end torque is not one of them.

Seriously, you can't have it all. Some reduction in low end torque is to be expected. But it will still have more than enough (and more than most e.g. KTM390) and the improvements everywhere else make it worthwhile. A small adjustment in riding style and there is no problem. I think sometimes people just look for things to complain about. if you can't live without that bit of extra torque right down the bottom end, then keep the old bike. But you then miss out on all the other improvements.

I was playing the experience of riding the 400 x constantly in my mind while riding this one. Felt better to me. I pulled 45 kays in 6th, 40 in 5th, 35 in 4th and 25 in 3rd. But more importantly, it's clutch, power delivery and torque felt a lot more suitable for off roading than the 400x . Elsewhere I have clearly mentioned that purely as a city bike, the 400X is slightly better

@@Ozsmallbore Well, I agree it will need a little tweaking in my riding style and a tad lowering of expectations.

It has only one issue wh is unresolved after going through most of the reviews that is it lags on the uphills and there is several stoppage reported wh is prime concern.

It doesn't stall on uphills, at least it didn't with me.

I agree with you that it's more sensible to wait for the 2nd batch. So, I would like your input on the below question. I waited and put plenty of thoughts to purchase Dominar 400, and now as himalayan 450 is here. Which bike makes more sense? Domi 400 or RE 450? (P.S. I need a all rounder bike that looks cool and head turner Dominar 400 was still my ideal choice , so please let me know your thoughts)

@motoroids 7 месяцев назад

It's much better than the Dominar. Himalayan anyday

@px6497 7 месяцев назад

Dominant is heavy as hell even when driving and they made an ad ki haathi mat paalo. The power delivery is linear and not like ktm which in Indian roads is a good thing. Maintenance cost of Himalayan 411 is lower than dominar. In fact in the himalayan there is hardly any maintenance cost when compared to other RE products. My roommate has an annual maintenance cost of 12000 for his thunderbird bs4 where as I have my Himalayan Bs3 costs around 6k annually and I ride a lot between 1500 to 1600kms per month. Dominar400 is no doubt a good bike but only Con is thst it's very heavy and gives a mileage of 25 if you ride it like a gentleman. I'll have to cross check with my friend who has dominar about the maintenance costs.
