Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (PRE-PRODUCTION BIKE): can’t believe I’m riding it in India 🇮🇳 

This is the kind of review of the new Himmy I wanted, it's about the ride in context not just the bike if that makes sense? It looks a complete departure from the RE heritage. I had kinda hoped they might just have pushed the single pot to 500cc and kept it air cooled. You look so happy back where it all started looking forward to the next episode 😊

Felicitaciones Noraly! Nuevamente volviste a la marca! Un beso grande.

Welcome back to india norlally

The Best!

💯💥💪👍💖

Looking forward to your journey ❤

An honour richly deserved!

Magnifique ! vos vidéos sont des bouffées d'oxygène, des découvertes. Merci 👍🏾

Your Himalayan have our state registration Tami Nadu nice to see you brave lady 🎉🎉🎉

Namaste !!! Yes sir no doubt... Govt trying to improve day by day.... Wish you come again to revisit again and to live your memories again....

It has been improving since the 2014 modi government.

Absolutely smart move their new bike will get so many buyers after seeing Noraly put it through its paces. I am impressed that it purrs like a kitten and rides like a dream. Starts every time love it. Hubby had bikes over the years and eve the new ones l recall he had to really put his back into kick starting it which turned me off bike's altogether. I am very small l ,new l could never start one if l had to fight to get it started every time. His pricey Harley was the same and to dam noisy l hated it.

The navigation system is the real kickass man, I just love this. 🤘🏻

Agree 100%

This is still motorcycle from 60s

The reason I got one is because of her channel. Never would I have thought that a $4999 adventure motorcycle would be so tough and reliable until I saw her videos. Cant imagine how many other people bought because of her.

​@@podunkman2709LCD with navigation built in, single pistion with liquid colling, are from the 60s?

Way better than any review is to actually ride it the way it was meant to.

Thank

That must be why all the Indian population want to leave ?

@davidkettell6236 your power of comprehension is visible.stay away from making any conjecture. India will be the third largest economy of the world by 2027. I guess you should just oil your own machine, mate.

@@davidkettell6236 who put this shit in your mind 😅😅

@@davidkettell6236 we have 1.4 billion population, currently 35 million live outside in all over the world, that doesn't mean majority are leaving,, our country is growing economically

@@davidkettell6236 u realise we have more than a billion people in India lol

No interest in India, I. Wait until you go somewhere better Norally

Almighty God KABIR is the CREATOR OF all SOULS --It was KABER who rose from GRAVE by making form as JESUS to keep faith on GOD . Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding). Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose. In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God. Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊 God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊😊 SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ is the present MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR Any kinds of DISEASES(MENTAL, PHYSCIAL, SPIRITUAL), PARANORMAL ACTIVITY,CURSE,BLACK MAGIC,GHOST is cured by Getting Diksya (mantra ) from SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ..Note: No charge is taken. .one can get MANTRA dikshya from INTERNET😊

Wondering where can I rent a this kind of bike in India? Hopefully I can use it for my travel vlog 🙏

I guess there is no one on earth who knows the Himalayan better than her :))

BE aware of scam please but you can rent it on websites online for bikes in India But wait for 8 - 9 months let it setttle in the market because its competition is on its way Hero Xpulse 400 is under the making and its going to be somehow more powerful is what I believe.@@ariffnordin4481

Me for one. I sold my Gold Wing several years ago, got old somewhere along the way, and now I am ready once again to go riding. I looked at the 2023 RE Hiimalayas, done some research and decided that I was waiting for the new one. I am in midwestern United States and am chomping at the bit for the new model to get here! This is the first one that I have saw in the wild. Great looking machine.

@@joeblow1934 I sold my 77 Goldwing, GL 1000 touring set up and moved from Southern Maryland to Colombia SA. In the Andes I was really missing having a touring capable bike that had the power for the mountains. I finally bought a 2021 Himalayan with full luggage and crash bars. My wife and I love the bike. It does everything the GL 1000 did, only a little slower, but 81 mpg fully loaded with two which is a huge improvement over 37mpg. It is really fun and with lots of torque on the back roads but it is lacking on the highway. And my bike like many, has issues with stalling at idle. I do like the low rpm torque, and am wondering how the new Himmy would handle the 45 degree inclined mountain roads around here. I have seen V-Strom 650's struggling up some of the inclines that my long stroke just thumps up with no effort with two riders and a full load. I am guessing that the new version will be more aimed at street riding like the V-Strom. Probably much better suited for US riding, so you are much better off waiting and trying the 2023 and 2024. Myself, I am thinking of getting a Super Meteor 650 and setting it up with luggage and windshield for the highway rides.

Mehhh overweight, underpowered.

@@grandenauto3214are you of RU-vid's,' virtual racer gang 😜'.

They must have changed the gearing to make it feel "twice as powerful", 411cc engine still rated at a pathetic 24.3 horsepower, which is just UNDER my CRF250L. R.E. could easily double their sales if they brought the bike into this millennia.

Some parts are beaitiful, otherwise if you move to cities these are horrible nasty. Without proper drainage, Filty water and unhygenic poor states Migrants making cities crowdy and spitting Pan Masala on public places. 😢

​@@LOVE5JAB you're probably defining the state of your own house it seems!

@@LOVE5JAB its cuz the cities were mismanaged by the previous government. Thank god they got elected out. We have to much to develop still in cities but the countryside which is the TRUE India is beautiful and hospitable. This is coming from a person who has lived in small villages and towns for the major part of my childhood.

​@@LOVE5JABIt's take time to change bro 60 year lack of development now just give 20 year to Modi you see changes in border area's.

@@LOVE5JAB corrupted government employees and politicians are major reason of development 😡

REMINDS ME OF STAR WARS------------- AND OBWAN-Obee, living among the SAND people

It’s not just travel vloggers that love your country, I fell in love with India on my first trip.

@@alexshatzko1381 that's why I think star wars is so racist movie....there are 'sand' people in everyplace.... Even white places have them.... You could've just called them locals...anyways the people there are very polite.

Good point but I think the commentary above was full of ingenuity .

In indian state of arunachal Pradesh.. India sagres broader with China.

O povo da Índia é incrivel!!! O/

@@dudubuds1 Obrigado !!🥰

Finally used their brain? Funny man😢

Actually Royal Enfield is lucky to have Noraly to test their bike.

@@L_MAO_ oo really 🤩 see you soon Noraly ✌️

Lovely remembrance of your family history. I too have watched every video of Itchy Boots since S1. Episode 1. So happy Noraly is well and in India.

I'm also from Trinidad. To Noraly, i must say , Your camera are our eyes to the world. Be safe and we look forward to seeing the great adventures in store in India.

What a wonderful message to read, Sir, in these troubled times a message of nostalgia and good sentiment. Noraly is truly a wonderful ambassador for peace and understanding.

Thank you for sharing your family story and your thoughts on Noraly’s adventures. I too have watched all her episodes since the beginning and I feel like I know her! I hope Noraly has a great time in India.

Indentured labour yea, we read that in our history book over here in India. And they mention some names like Chandrapaul, Sarvan etc. We over here really love Windies cricket, hope they will do great again. Love to see roaring fast bowler of windes.

Hola como Estas que moto 450 cc que viaje de 10 a full ARGENTINA 🇦🇷

All royal enfield are tested here... It's not just himalayan.. Even their 350 work fine at such heights and riders in India use classic 350 for adventure in Leh Ladakh/kashmir... Reason is pretty simple... All Indian car/bikes are tested here before launching... Without getting tested in such heights no made in India products are sold...

tuning a fuel injected bike isn't hard in this day n age lol.

Built for local people to use and enjoy in this exact type of environment 👍

Naturally aspirated engines will obviously perform at their best power at sea level, but the rarified air at high altitude will obviously mean % lower maximum horse power, but should still run fairly smoothly.

The name justifies it right, else they would have named it Ganga😂😂

Ain't nobody terms 200 cc bike a large capacity in India.....bikes in Asia as a whole are seen as economical point A to B travel unlike West where they are more of leisurely things ....you would be surprised to know that most selling capacity in Asia is 110-125 cc

​@@DHS562just a basic need and for practicality.

@@DHS562 you just said what he said...anyways "large bike" in india is basically something that makes around 40ish bhp. Pretty much any a2 class is seen as a big bike here.

Actually I like RE for building "old-fashioned" bikes, kind of like Harley Davidson did. The new liquid cooled engine looks like any other engine. I miss the tall cylinder and the cooling fins! But I also know that long-stroke engines with carburators are a thing of the past.

​@@pranavp386 that's just not true! lol

Just add Same Words for me too of this comment. kudos to her..😍

Saudações para você também irmão! Graças ao Google Tradutor podemos entender você e vice-versa!

Noraly also looked well rested and ready for another adventure.

Don't say that As an Indian who have visited African Continent I won't call it dangerous as people say...trust me I have felt more Scared in Some Parts of Europe than in certain parts of Africa... But Gonna Admit the Riding across West Coast was Comparetively bit difficult than east because of the Local authorities for some reason appered to be more rigid....People more or less had same behavior ( I mean more Curious - to see what an Indian Is Doing here other than Business).

apart of europe ,australia,Japan,korea. India is as safe as any you could get and very safe for a developing country in terms of crime and homicide rates

​@@VARMOT123India has lesser crime & as you said homicide rate (per capita) than all those countries you've mentioned apart from maybe Japan, probably? It's pretty obvious in this series

where have you felt unsafe in Europe ? @@arpanabinaswar1811

Not dangerous at all. Thousands of people do it by bike every year.

Same here mate, back in 2008. Really would love to do again. Roads look so much better

Now the roads are very nice compare to old ...yrs back

Now the roads and expressways are far better than any other Asian nations. Come back soon bro.

Roads are comparatively better, but still unpredictable due to landslides. Leh Ladak ride is a ride of passage for Indian riders.

India is now focusing on its Infrastructure much better, still a long way to go but you will see the improvements as India develops.

It's pretty common in India for lot of motorcycle enthusiasts to go into Himalayas.

❤ beautifully said

Geologists refer to the grass as “hairing it over.” Geologists don’t like it, as they want to see the layers. It’s not just appearance in the eastern U.S. The higher rainfall will erode rock cuts faster and wash gravel and such down onto the road if there is no grass.

front looked like a 19" to me, thanks for the info

Everything is in mm, pls edit.

Largest Bike EVER

Royal enfield missed a big time opportunity, but they will definitely introduce a twin cylinder version. Believe me the day, Royal enfield releases Himalayan twin cylinder 650cc liquid cooled putting out 69-72hp That will be the day RE will outsell every single bike not just in the category part will chase even tigers category.

I heve tried the older version in Ladakh. It us not as powerful as I expected But it has strong body, goood fule consumption and easyly maneuvered..

I do like the music as well. 😍
