Why Do Himalayans Get So Much Hate? | Royal Enfield Himalayan USA | Ol' Man Ronin (S1,E55) 

Loved you video man gust got a himi today riding it home a 3bhour ride really Loved it I have a cbf 1000 in the shed and a honda dominator and you know what I am loving this bike and it was pouring rain and wind all the way home and still enjoyed it so much liked you reviw nice place you live in nice roads and views I livevin Ireland weather not so good here at the moment thanks again for you review best regards Arnold Reynolds.🇮🇪🏍

If ItchyBoots can ride a Himalayan all over Asia, The Middle East and South America it must be a pretty reliable bike brand.

I have owned 7 motorcycles and the Himalayan is by far my favorite.

I heard a great quote on The Wiltshire Man channel. "The Royal Enfield Himalayan is the Land Rover of motorcycles." Makes a heckofa lot of sense, really. The original Land Rover is a practical, rugged vehicle purpose built to get you there and back again, regardless of the terrain. It was slow, under-powered, and not at all luxurious, yet they are still the iconic adventure vehicle known the world over.

Hating the Himalayan to deflect from the fact that they over-paid for a fancy bike when the Himalayan would have been perfectly adequate for their needs. Never seen a Himalayan rider have any problems handling their machines but have seen many GS & KTM riders who cannot even do a u turn on a level road nor able to put the bike on the centre stand (they do have all the around-the-world riding gear though).

The negative comments for this bike come from idiots that have never ridden the bike. Not cheap but affordable.

Kudos to all Indians for keeping the RE on roads they are the back bone of this company. You are an inspiration Ronin.

I’ve owned dozens of motorcycles. I have a 2020 Himalayan and it makes me smile when I ride it. It’s a very capable bike.

Never ceases to amaze me how many other riders ask me about my Himalayan. Here in the UK, initially it got some negative reviews in the bike press ( mainly written by men jumping off high end sportsbikes ) but it now has a cult following & sales of the bike have made some eat their words. You can keep your 180mph 240bhp crotch rocket, you can still only legally do 30mph in a 30mph zone & for that 24bhp is fine

Yammie Noob....that was a funny review he didn't even ride the bike and gave a salty review😅😅🤣

I just bought a 2022 Himalayan. It's my first small displacement bike. Yeah, it's not fast. But I truly enjoy riding it. I sold my other bikes when I had my daughter because I realized I only enjoyed going fast and being dumb. This bike has made me really enjoy the ride. Thanks for the great video!

Good review 👍 I purchased a 2020 in September. I have an 03 KLR that seams to be getting taller every year ( I'm 65 😁 ) 750 miles on my Himalayan and it's pure happiness

Its really one of the best bike ever made by RE , In India 🇮🇳 people have to wait for almost 90 -120 days for delivery but they still wait, & gets hand on it . Love from India 🇮🇳

The Himalayan is among the "first ants" at Harley Davidson's retail picnic. Today's motorcycle consumers are no longer buying into the paradigm of $25,000.00 motorcycles. You can get a quality bike for under $10K and pocket the difference....and this is where the future of motorcycles is. People can't be hating the Himalayan much.... they are selling fast.

I did not know Himalayan's were hated on. I love mine. Three of my friends have ridden it, now they have Himalayans of their own. Fun bike !

If the hymalaian was a bad bike then why are so many u tubers praising them

I own the Interceptor in the UK and has given the BMW a run for its money in sales for last 2 yrs. Its a great bike and I might get the Himmy. Great Vid

Well said Ronin, there's horses for courses! The Himalayan does what it was designed to do brilliantly and inexpensively. It handles highway speeds OK (We are only allowed 110kph max in South Australia. There isn't a lot up your sleeve for overtaking but it's fine as long as you keep that in mind. If you want to ride highways all the time, buy a highway bike! I have two friends with Himalayans and they love them!

Great channel Ronin keep up the passion. One very small thing that impresses me is when you are stating a temperature during a ride you also convert it into Celsius. As someone that can't come to grips with farenheit it is truly appreciated.

100 per cent agree. For me, the Himalayan captures the essence of motorcycling, a nod to simpler and less complicated times. Unfortunately, most other manufacturers have engineered this out of their products in the pursuit of more and more technology and performance. In Australia, those sufficiently skilled to access this high-level performance will struggle to find anywhere outside a track day to do so, now the nanny state has become addicted to the revenue from over-zealous speed limit enforcement. My BS4 is the first sub-1000cc bike I have owned since 1985, and I grin like a loon every time I ride it. Oh, and it’s done 6000km now without any issue.

The Hima is a Land Rover Defender on 2 wheels. We love it here in the Philippines!

Probably because when it first came out here in India it had way too many issues. The motorcycle has improved since but I see people still sceptical. Anyway, I like how it's slowly gaining popularity. It's not pretending to be something it's not and gets the job done. My relationship with Royal Enfield is from past three generations, my grandfather had a bullet, my uncles have classic and electra and I have a 2002 thunderbird and saving up to get a Himalayan. Looking forward to see this video. Cheers

I test rode one about a year or so ago and really liked it. Judged as it should be it’s a great bike . As everyone says Itchy Boots has proved how capable it is.

I was pissed at Yammie's review and I wrote it in the comments. I kinda understand his point. People in developed countries like US are spoiled for choice when it comes to motorcycling. To you it's a toy, to us it means so much more. Add to that the income difference and what we have is an all-rounder bike. It will be most liked by older people and people who are experienced and wise because only they can truly appreciate what exactly this bike is. That is Royal Enfield. It's an essential features only motorcycle that's supposed to be fun and inexpensive. It's easy to maintain, fuel efficient and all its has to do is bring the rider joy. It's basic and simple. Not everyone likes simple.

Hi.. I'm with you. I've ordered my Himalayan can't wait to get it. In Australia if the cc is over 500 it puts about $200 extra on our yearly road tax, so 400cc is just right, don't need 650. Thanks for your videos stay safe.

Being a himalayan owner 🇮🇳 you got all your points right👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽 loved the video

I've been testing my himalayan on various turfs, for last 4 yrs and over 40k kms, but it has never dissappointed me.... Its by far my favorite bike

My last bike before our new Himalayan was a BMW R1200RT which we thoroughly loved and cherished for 15 years. Couldnt have ridden New Zealands sealed roads on a better bike with my wife on the back. But every road that turned to gravel made me stop and turn back. Scared the crap out of me riding on such a big monster shaking its beautiful self to bits on gravel. Now after riding on my first propper NZ off road trip with lots of gravel, I truly have found the perfect all round motorcycle after 50 years of riding and owning many different bikes. You poor doubters out there, please listen to this man. He speaks the truth. He is " The Man" . Try and smell the Rose's and enjoy the journey on the perfect all round bike before wrongly criticizing such a great inexpensive machine. I took this frumpy bike for a test ride after selling the RT and had made my mind up in 10 minutes that this was the one. So ordered a brand new one and 1500km later it gets better and better. I've got the care free smile back on my face when I go for a ride. So this next statement is a bit tounge in cheek and please read it aloud in the style of an evangelist priest preaching to the throng. " I am a believer ". Royal Enfield has helped me really go back to basics with a machine that does it all to satisfy a 66 year old 5 foot 5 rider, who doesn't need anymore to ride perfect roads with heated seats and handlebars, servo assisted abs brakes, adjustable windscreen at the touch of a button in true comfort etc, etc. Don Barker. Whangarei, New Zealand.

Yes. It’s the best motorcycle at the moment. It also seems to sell really well. I don’t have one yet but if I collect some money, it’s going to be Himalayan and across Eurasia ride. Nice and simple mechanics to fix and maintain. Plus simple low key outlook that doesn’t attract criminals nor stand out too much. Very good for Central Asian roads.

Here in Brazil we have serious issues on Himalayan with bad gasoline reading on lambda sensor and the ECU map. I have one and I love it, but these problems here in Brazil cause bad impressions. Great video.

Your video helped me to make up my mind. I have finally booked a Himalayan. Now I have to wait for 2 months to put my hands on the bike. My nine year old son simply loves the Himalayan and he is more excited about the Himalayan. Now your excellent video has finally helped me to take the decision. Thank you.

genuine review. Love your work. I see a pure bike lover in your vlog. Keep it going

Another advantage of a low rpm small displacement engine is the fuel efficiency. Which translates to a longer riding range and lesser fuel stops.

A proper ' grown-up' review. Thank you. I love mine! By the way, agree absolutely about keeping it a single!

I have myself a 2018 EFI bullet, great for having fun on the twisties and in town, but under powered for the highway. The value for money is brilliant as it was the same price as the Himalayan here in the UK, it was a coin toss between the two and the bullet made more sense for the local riding I do. I am waiting for the 650 cruiser to come out, I may treat myself to one as a retirement present to myself for those longer journeys.

Saw one of these in the flesh for the first time and really impressed. Great video, thanks from Scotland

A good proper review, most of what you said is spot on. Keep up the good work.

Great info here. My wife bought a Himalayan last year and she loves it. I have a Triumph Tiger 800 and enjoy riding the RE, too. It's solid, fun to ride and the "retro" look is cool.

Ronin, you made me smile from start to finish on this video, for two reasons. Number one, I was riding with you through that lovely Ohio countryside in glorious sunshine, while we have had a thoroughly wet, miserable day here in Somerset, South West England. Number two, I love your straight talking, say it as you see it, style of commentary and agree with every comment on the reasons for choosing the right bike for the style of riding and roads. Great channel, great entertainment. Thanks, as always.

Thanks OMR. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.

Thanks for the video, really nice. I just bought a new gravel grey one of these and can confirm everything you're saying about the riding experience. I've had l a range of bikes in the past, Sportster, R6, VFR and this is by far the easiest to ride and maybe the most fun as you can take it into the dirt!

Very well said, nice rider attitude. i enjoyed my Hima since day one, 2018 Granite owner here!

That was beautifully covered, precise and so correct, I ride a BS 4 Himalayan non ABS I'm 58 and I'm in the lower Himalayas, no issues except the cone sets in the handles, fantastic bike, won't change it for any other. It was nice to see a mature narrative. Thank you.

I love mine. Such a fun bike. Also you riding with your left indicator for so long was frightening lol. Stay safe brother!

I bought a used Himalayan yesterday, 2021 with 7000kms, fully aware of what the bike is designed for, so I'm looking forward to the best of both worlds - city riding with a good height advantage and off road in the Argentine pampas, which I'm really looking forward to. Excellent video, as usual.

Can sign everything you said! Love my Himalayan too!

Going to check out this Himalayan bike tomorrow at my local dealership. Thanks for your review 👍

Love your video! Awesome arguments! And the right mindset!

Good video and no bs involved in the review I bought a 2021 in August last year and after taking off the rear seat and making an aluminum rack to fit my Givi trunk took off in September on a 6000 mile ride to New Jersey and back. No problems, although did have to replace the crappy rear tire after I got to Philadelphia. Only negative was during some hot days I found the idle creeping up to 2000 rpm at stops or lights and would have to put it in gear,, release clutch a little to get revs down. Handling was great, got 70 mpg doing around 60 mph on all back roads. Only did about 20 miles on interstates, mostly to get out of town. As you said, the quality is way up now. And parts are easy to come by if you go online and get them from India. You wait a few weeks and they always arrive and much cheaper to boot. I did add a highway bar to stretch out on those all day rides and the Givi gives me a back rest. I rarely keep a bike in 2-up configuration. I like the way it handles fully loaded when none of the load is hanging off the rear past the rear axle. With such low hp I was worried about it keeping up on the freeways if I needed to. No problem, the dealer let me test ride it on the freeway at 75 mph indicated and it went great and with few vibes which was an early RE problem. I wouldn't hesitate to take this on a crosscountry interstate ride if I had to, say in an emergency. It would probably do 70-75 all day long. Not good for the bike though even if it would do it. This bike's sweet spot is between 58-62 for me. No vibes and just loping along near 5000 rpm. When I bought my KLR I remember a guru who said the bike would last forever if I made it a point to keep revs at or below 5000. He said singles blow a lot of oil riding higher rpms for long distances. I kept to that and have 65,000 on my KLR. I like the Himalayan way better. Not as top-heavy, lighter, more maneuverable, better gas mileage, cheaper, no water cooling and its hassles, has a centerstand, and good ergonomics for my body. In addition, unlike the KLR it has fuel injection and abs too. I love this bike and now I have around 8000 on it. Why so few after the trip? Because I'm in Colorado where winter sucks. And I have to share seat time with the KLR and my Sportster 48. Unless you need gobs of power and the ability to go 150 mph this bike will satisfy you and your wallet.

Agree with everything you said. I had lots of fun riding my himalayan through backroads and forest access road with my friends who mostly riding KLX and CRFs.. and I still enjoy riding it at the normal roads on my way to the adventure track location and the ride back home. The only thing I want to change is the headlights 😀

you are one of the first people that actually gets it. very good review.

Love these reviews. No agenda, always balanced and fair. I honestly believe that many bikers won't ride something like a Himalayan because of ego. I've had the usual sportsbikes, big tourers etc, all great bikes when i had a use for them, now my himalayan is my favourite bike because of how I want to ride and I use it in the way it was intended. I.E getting off the fast roads and seeing and camping in the countryside. The roads here in England are generally either infested with speed cameras, potholes or nose to tail cars, so at most times my Himalayan is as fast or even faster that the power bikes. I surprise a lot of people with the speed the Himalayan can run the twisties, but some people can't go fast unless they have 100bhp+ on the throttle so theyll never even consider a bike with 24bhp. Growing up riding and racing 2 strokes helps I guess. Note - I recently completed a 2 day, 560 mile trip around Wales. 2 years ago I did the same trip on an ST1300 pan European (route, campsite etc all the same) and although i loved the ST and wish i still had it, i preferred the trip second time around the Himalayan. It was the right tool for the job. Keep up the great work 👍

You nailed it...again and again! Hello from Norway

Good video, I agree on all points. I also suspect the fact it's Indian is an issue. Indian exports are pretty much unknown in the USA (apart from clothes), so RE is in the position now that the Japanese were in in the 60s and the Germans were in in the 50s. As in those cases, price and quality will win market share sooner or later; it may take several years but RE will eventually have a breakthrough product like the Honda CA100 or the VW Bug. BTW I see you still have the stock mirrors. Those will be the first thing changed on mine. I need big rectangular mirrors with convex stick-ons.

Nice to see another Himalayan rider in central Ohio! I’ve really enjoyed riding mine around central & southern Ohio.

A truly honest & professional review. I had a Himalayan & loved it, it just didn't suit my situation, I ride on paved roads & because of that like a bit more power in order to be able to overtake a vehicle also using the road, roads like that equate to an average higher speed than dirt roads so basically, it was the wrong bike for me. I still loved it though, even though being a shorter & lighter rider I found it top heavy when manhandling it. What I didn't love was the fact that it kept cutting out on me, sometimes in dodgy situations, the dealer increased the idle speed but that didn't totally cure it & it badly affected my confidence in the bike. Also, I found the brakes very weak despite changing the pads for a better make. In conclusion - yes - for your type of roads & given your stunningly muscular physique & towering height, perfect. Happy Christmas Ronin, to you & yours.

Watched all your enfield videos and loved them. Thorough, non biased and also not robotic. Well done, man. I'm in the market for a new bike and came across re's on ebay (I'm in New england). An adv bike at entry cruiser prices?! I was instantly intrigued. Watched a couple reviews that had similar "issues"; underpowered and shitty breaks. My top speed is typically 45 mph so power and breaks aren't a major concern. I was still unsure of reliability and/or acquisition/pricing of parts. Your videos absolutely sold me on this bike coupled with some others proving how tough these little machines are. I can't wait to schedule a test drive!

Got Himalayan as well and basically have same experience with him as you completely agree with everything you said in this video Ronin

Great review. Speaks to varying opinions based on biased perceptions. Very pragmatic and truthful. Critically thought out and narrated. Thanks.

Thanks for posting this review of sorts. I paid a deposit on a new Himalayan today, it was a fantastic price.... Only €4600 compared to Ireland price which is over €2000 more I'm nearly 60 years old and this will be my bike for the next 10 to 15 years all going well. I have ridden and owned everything from vespa px to harley fatbobs but now due to back injuries and damaged fingers on my clutch hand the Himalayan is perfect for me... Perfect suspension for our terrible roads here and low seat hight for my 29 inch inner legs, plus easy to activate clutch for my 3 working fingers. I gave you a sub and greetings from Latvia

Karmakaze (sp?) has done a couple of long trips and seems to enjoy his Himalayan. The ability to just turn on a dirt road whenever you feel like it is a plus.. Thanks for the great video...

Nice work mate hit the nail on the head.

On the strength of watching your videos on the Himalayan (also watching Itchy Boots' travel vlogs at the moment) I'm currently in the process of getting my motorcycle license here in the U.K and soon after will be purchasing a Himalayan and heading off up the road👍 I've travelled all over the world in campervans, on foot, bicycles e.t.c but watching these videos I can just tell on a motorcycle it'll be the ultimate freedom (who cares about getting there quickly when the journey is 99% of the adventure, right?) I cant wait to strap a tent on the back and explore the 26 million miles of road this planet has to offer 🙂 thank you for your down to earth, informative and entertaining videos, keep them coming, they've definitely inspired me to get on two wheels and explore!!

I bought an RE classic 500. First mc since the 80s. Had cb750 4, BMW 500 twin. The RE epitomises the style of the ‘50s. I have coupled it up with a sidecar, because I am not getting any younger, and my bones are not a supple as they used to be. But half a days ride and the vibration gets all my old joints freed up. Max speed here in NZ is 100k on open roads. The rig handles this with ease. I mostly travel at about 100 and have not had any drivers try to pass in bad conditions, I believe they just like to watch an old biker enjoy his ride. I enjoyed your video and have subbed. Keep up the great work.

I've been researching for My First Bike, and sat on the Himalayan after checking out the Int650. Absolutely fell in love the with feel of the bike. Your reviews convinced me: the 2021 will be my first bike... now I just need to get my M class and learn how to ride!

Thank you for the honest review and opinion...this is a purpose build bike for all around adventure without breaking the bank...kudos to RE

I am a couple of weeks off 65, haven’t ridden for almost 40yrs. Have been listening to reviews for quite a lot of different bikes and must say the R.E. Himalayan is looking to be the one for me to get back to riding. In the younger years I had the chance to ride things like the Honda 750/4 and a Kawasaki 900. Great when you’re young and silly, but now only want something I can take my time with, enjoy the ride and see what the wold has to offer from both a slow cruise on the highway and the next dirt road you have never been along. Thank you for your down to earth opinion. Am now looking forward to exploring areas of Australia that I previously would not have seen.

I couldn’t agree with you more. This bike is built for a relaxing backroad ride, and off-road slow speeds. This is a purpose built bike. At $5000 new you can afford to buy a cruiser or whatever. This would be my 2nd bike. Also I really love the looks.

Great job mate. Refreshing, positive, open minded. Top man.

You can have a whole stable of bikes but once you own a Himalayan, you'll find yourself riding it more than anything else you own.

Cool and very practical observation and an excellent review indeed 💯🔥👍

Hello, nice little channel you´ve here. Liked your vid and agree with you 100% - my Hima takes my anytime, anywhere no matter what and if someone hasn´t understood the concept of "single cylinder, high torque" it´s not a issue of perception rather than not having understood the different engine designs. For me my Hima is a true scrambler and i use it as such - it´s not about going from A to B fast but going out and about enjoying the landscape, people etc and if the tarmac ends you can still go on w/o worries. Stay safe

With one exception, almost every review I’ve watched mentions how people like to bash on the Himalayan, then offer up overwhelmingly positive reviews, and the fact that it’s enfield’s best selling bike, and as you mentioned, they’re hard to get because of the demand, I’d say the naysayers can shove it! For me, if I can find one in AZ, I’m gonna buy it!

I (think) the biggest problem people have with this bike is its cost. A bike made in India that has a fairly low price tag gives some people doubt in the quality. I personally am a RE fan. Great video and love the channel.

Nice that you still have decent weather for riding today.

not just about bike, he drops experience and life style priority bombs. Loved the vids.

its a tractor on 2 wheels !

Hi Ronin. I've been riding for over 30 years and my last bike I had for 17 (1200GS}, but I've had more fun and ridden more off road in the short time I've had my Himalayan. I've fitted a pair of TKC 80 knobblies to it. That improves its off road abilities even more. To top it off I'm averaging 87 MPG. Love your videos by the way. Cheers, Mike.

Thanks cobber awesome video review. I've been looking at the CT Honda 125 trail but for less money this is so much more. I watched a lot of Himalayan reviews never seen a bad one yet. I have an old FJ 1200 Yammy for the road but I'll be buying a Himalayan so I can get out bush off the beaten track.

Ronin I love your reviews, I m a proud owner of Himalayan and I must say the bike never let me down, did all sorts of road, even in traffic. This bike never stops amazing me. Yes, there are haters all over. Ignore it. There was a famous commercial in India “Neighbors envy, Owners pride”. I feel it when I ride my Himalayan. Keep doing these reviews. Cheers

Hi Ronin, I ride a HD from 1996 and a RE Himalayan 2018 I love both !! Good Statement... Greetings from Germany Axel

Love the honesty.. Everything you say is true... I want one

This video popped up on the general feed 1/25/23. Been seeing quite a few older videos pop up from the motovlog community lately. Hope you are doing well my friend.

Excellent vlog, loved your review 👍

Its a long stroke and HIGH torque motor(but not at high revs). I have about 270 miles on my 2021 rock red Hima and I love it. Stock it does what it is suppose to just fine. I also have a 2019 650 INT RE. It also is just fine . They are NOT CHEAP. They ARE an outstanding value. Both have fantastic tyrannies. I have never missed a shift or had to fiddle with them (transmission wise) even when cold. They are VERY good handling bikes. They both have very smooth fueling even for extremely emissions leaned out bikes. And I love how they look. I am not a fan of angular, schizoid, crazy ass, molded, vinyl graphic, insectoid BS. I love the form follows function of these bikes. They are true and have soul, like a good friend. Something that in my 52 years of motorcycling has come to mean a lot. And that's why they get so much love from me (and I am lucky enough to have 10 bikes in my garage), just sayin'.

Enjoyed the video and your attiude. Cheers

good subject , all what you said makes sense , enjoyed watching , subscribed for more.

I have been looking at the Himmie, amongst a few others. I have also created a list of all the upgrades I would do to a base model ( compared to one that comes with the “Adventure” package ) which would get me more for my buck than buying the aforementioned Advent’ packaged offering. The ONLY thing that I don’t like - is the requirement to have tub’s. I hate tubed tyres for the very good reason that if you flat and deflate f-a-s-t on a dirt or sealed road, your bead can roll on the rim super quick and before you know it - you kiss the deck. That is the only thing. I mentioned this on another post here ( to another Kiwi ) and also how I was looking at several other bikes. One was the 2022 KLR650 - but - it too is going to be running tub’s. It’s just the whole having to take wheel off, remove tyre and blah blah. I don’t want to be doing that on some rural road or out in the sticks, at dusk. That would just suck. I’d rather have tubeless, so I can glue/plug n trim, then keep going. But - if I go with the Him’ - then I just better put my big boy pants on and suck it up before someone reading this, revokes my man card.....

Because they probably take the top performing bikes as reference. I actually see more movies praising the Himalayan rather then trashing it...

I've just got my Sleet royal enfield H. and its perfect. !!! cheers from Colombia

Royal Enfield Bullet is used by Indian army & Majority of Indian Police for along time. And it is also used by adventure riders to do trails from Delhi to Leh Ladak which is like 50% to 70% paved road and rest is mountain road to no roads. That how they leaned and made Himalayan for off roading which is particularly best for rocky off roads like Himalaya

Your comments on the Triumph shows how level headed you are in your opinion. Been watching a couple of your videos now, and you have a subscriber now 👍

I saw all ItchyBoots videos on this bike , but your honest reviews made my mind . Just sold my sportster and going to buy a Himalayan

You are doing good job Ronnin🤘👍 Love from India 🇮🇳

Thank you for a great video 👍🏻 I really like your perspective on the different motorcycle companies. As I say to friends asking me for my opinion on a motorcycle, ride what gives you joy and don’t care what others say about your choice. I’m hoping to get my hands on an Enfield Himalayan some day as I have really fallen in love with it after trying one out last week. But for now I will have to settle with my sportster Xl 1200 and my old Dnepr with sidecar. Once again thank you for this great video 👍🏻 Best from Denmark Lars

Great video. I considered one of these as my first bike after my test but I did my research & I wasn’t planning on much if at all off-road so I didn’t get one. I totally get what it is for & it’s very good at it too I hear. So if ever my needs change then I’ll consider getting one. Again great video.

Greetings from Canada, just found your channel. 😊 The attitude towards the Himalayan is strange. As the owner of one I have had many interesting comments. I do find once I start explaining the bike to people and what fun I have on it, they start to understand. I also agree with what you were saying....horses for courses 👍

Brilliant vlog. Love your work. I'll be a Himalayan as soon as I can afford it..wouldn't consider another bike for me right now.

That is a great route you are riding! Was looking for signage that would indicate your location, but you you spoke to it later in this review. Reminds me of where I live (Northeastern Connecticut) but bigger spaces and cleared land. Similar topography and forestation.

I have a Himalayan with 10k km on it. I took a 2000km trip to visit my son a couple summers ago and it was a fantastic trip on secondary roads.
