These videos prove absolutely that big trips can be made with small(ish) bikes. Good amount of luggage, comfortable in the saddle and going at a good clip. Good stuff. No need for a big and expensive GS, just load up these smaller (and a lot cheaper) bikes and off you go. Lovely!

First of all, irresponsible behaviour to do drag race in a public road..that too in a narrow road..that too in Indian roads. Second,you were shifting too early on that Himalayan..it goes upto 150 easily
@thatbikersimon
@thatbikersimon 7 месяцев назад
@@hash2shyam after conducting our safety assessment (the road was clear) we were never going to break the land speed record but the RE had a slight disadvantage due to weight I was carrying and wind was a issue especially with the bag on the back. I never saw 150 out of this bike probably because of those reasons but 147 I did achieve 🏍️💨💨💨

That drag race was a bit surprising, but when you start thinking about the weights, it makes sense. I've sat on that KTM, and I purchased the 400X not a week ago. Very different ergonomics, with the KTM being way too small for me. At 6 ft 2 in tall the scrambler fits me great though. It's surprisingly tall. Of course, out of the three bikes, it's the least adventurish. I think KTM missed the mark with that 390. It should have been a bit larger, and had a 21-in and 18-in wheel. They're supposedly working on another one, but we've heard that before. In the meantime, this Himalayan is almost out, and the ibex 450 is about to finally get some English reviews/proper testing. Out of all of them, I'm the most stoked about the CF Moto. It's one damn good looking bike. Thanks for the videos, looking forward to the next one.

@thatbikersimon 7 месяцев назад
@@DAILY_FACTS_TREAT not many really RE have produced a really little adventure bike. The main issue was the side stand for me. If you was parked off road and the lean angle was quite far over on the bike. It’s not a deal breaker but I personally would prefer the bike to stand more upright to step onto the bike. I’ve rode the older Himalayan and this is far superior.

Hmm.. performance difference between the bikes can pretty much be boiled down to the difference in dry weight.. remove some 20-30 Kg's from the RE, & would end up heads & shoulders ahead of the others... & It's not very hard to do either..🧐

I want to buy the 450 but think i will get KTM890R. In Australia we have long distances with junk roads, long straight stretches and the wind blast off B doubles and road trains. The 450 would be better in the dirt perhaps because of the weight. So hard to find the right bike!.
@thatbikersimon
@thatbikersimon 6 месяцев назад
Funny enough im having the same problem, I’m thinking about the 890r as well for similar reasons, I think I’m going to buy a second hand 890r and run it for a bit and if I feel it’s not much for what I need I’m going to buy the RE. One thing this tour has done is open to eyes to how capable the bike is over longer distances and reliable and manageable

I like the look of all three motorcycles. As an Austrian, I have a KTM in my heart, but the Triumph looks extremely good. I find the navigation on the RE very practical and I also like the retro look, but the workmanship on the RE is too sloppy for me. Technically, the KTM is the most modern and powerful, the RE is the cheapest, and the Triumph has the nicest speedometer.
