The Perfect Adventure Bike? NEW Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 

I toured morocco mainly offroad and desert with the old one and there was nothing I couldnt tackle. It was 200kg+ but felt so light. I’m looking forward to test this one. I love it!

I know so many have chimed in on the weight of this bike @ 196kg. It does sound heavy, but in reality it comes standard with upper front crash bars, tail rack, centre stand, HD bash plate and maybe a few others?. Any other adventure bike you'll buy these will be accessories that you'll likely add on & pay extra for. I'd wager they easily add up to 15kg meaning in reality compared to other bikes it's in the very acceptable 180kg range. I actually think RE has done better than most people are giving them credit for . Quite the opposite of a BMW where nearly half the bike has to be bought from the accessories catalogue.

Retirement present incoming! Very impressive motorcycle, a lot of people are saying a lot of good things about this and the 350 Classic. RE are ticking the right boxes these days.

The most exciting bike in the world today. The best all rounder available…in my opinion.

Why does everyone keep saying the Enfield has to be cheap. The have raised the quality of this bike enormously, so you have to pay for quality. It is better built than most of its competition, and that is not cheap to do. I watched Nathan Millward touching parts of the 400 Triumph and saying they were "flimsey", and they looked it. You can build for quality, or down to a price. I can guess what Triumph has done

Nice interview and review, lads. Sounded informed, genuine, honest and objective. Keep it up, it's good work you're doing! I too am looking forward to this bike coming out and have already popped down to my local dealer to tell him I want one, yes, the hanle black one with the golden wheels!

Aesthetically much more pleasing to the eye than its predecessor. I wish those tubeless spoke rims were available for the Bullet/Classic 350.

Good to hear that the original 411 panniers will fit the new frames. Looking forward to sitting on this next Saturday. As owners of two 411's we are certainly looking to upgrade when they are released in the UK. May find out the prices after RE's Motoverse event on Friday.

I’m impressed with the rep. Nice to see he knows his product inside out. Think I’ll take one of these for a test.

I think RE has a global hit on their hands. Knowing RE the price will be competitive without a doubt.

Similarities between old himalayan and new himalayan royal Enfield is the name only. The new one is a beast. We indian are very pleased with new man in room

l want one 😍

Looks like the only problem is if they can make enough of these to keep up with the demand!

It’s one of the few bikes where the WHOLE bike has been built, ground up as an ADV bike. Others are built from existing parts such as an road bike engine into a different chassis (T7 with a MT07 motor for example)

You have to give credit to RE..they seem to be listening to consumers and building the bikes people actually want, more than any other manufacturer. Having owned the old 411 briefly (bought a lemon sadly) I can also testify to how well RE build that relationship between the manufacturer and the rider..simple stuff really, but regular emails and updates from the RE ‘family’ etc..they’re great at making you feel part of something..excellent Relationship Marketing. Really like the look of this new himmy but of course, price point is absolutely key…can they compete with the amazing bargain of the 400X?…another great plus is that there’ll soon be loads of bargain 411’s to be had I’d hope!..I’d certainly have another if I could find one that wasn’t a lemon this time!…ps, I’m 6ft and half an inch, 33’’ inside leg, a bit gangly too 😂..but I found the 411 really comfy 🤷‍♂️😂..mad ha ha

Exelaint review/first impression, reminds me of when you guys first started 😁 with RU-vid. How do you feel it would cope with welsh green lanes?? Maybe a bit heavy??

Great intro to the new Himmy, just looking back on this again now it's finally here. Hope to see you take it out and give us your thoughts as this is a bike I really fancy buying to get into greenlaning. Do you think tubless is the way to go or not for off roading as comes with both options?

This will be the replacement for my 411 Scram. I'm really taken by this one.

The thing I am wondering about the most is : How well is the weight distributed ? Simply put : Will it be easy to pickup from the ground ?

Looking more like a road/ gravel road bike to me, exhaust underneath etc. Great video tho 👍🏼

I saw a bunch of videos about the new Himalayan, but no one said about the size. Guys, is it a small motorcycle or not? I'm not talking here about engine size, but frame size. Any good for tall riders, or is it one more model like the KTM 390 Adventure which is clearly made for the Asian market?

Nobody really talks about how hard it is to pick it up when you are on your Owen in out of the way places,put it on the show room floor and let riders pick it up then they will know if it’s the bike for them

Unfortunately this is launching with tube types in India where as international versions get tubeless spork wheels. If the price is anywhere near to new triumph scrambler 400x then definitely I would prefer this over triumph

Wonder if it’s got cruise control. 40hp is still a bit underpowered imo.

5700 pounds

"Him-aalian"? What new pronunciation is this.....

Sorry. Doesn't impress me at all. Enfield use to be cheap and easy to fix.
