- Having not ridden the Himalayan 450, I needed to give the bike a go, especially as the 450 Guerilla was released recently. Suzie came up to offer a perspective on the pillions position and comfort. hope you enjoy this.

What a great duo, entertaining, honest and just real.
Thank you that's so kind. We LOVE doing these together. Sean is on a mindfulness retreat at the moment so he'll be replying to comments at the end of next week when he's back x
That's ever so kind, thank you theVinnie. Gives us a lot of motivation to keep going when we read these...
@@MindfulMotorcyclist Credit where its due
Great video buddy 👍 lovely to see Sooz too x
Thank youuuuuu for your support as always Willie 🙏 💕
4 cylinder... 😄😊🤔
@@MindfulMotorcyclist 🤣🤣🤣
I also did the crow on my test ride but after 26minutes my hands were hurting too much.
I'm glad you tried this one, unrated bike and often too many compare it to the 411.
It's an excellent bike 9 out of 10 id say.
Vibes and side stand camber lean is it's only issue.
That was so funny in places😂
I'm glad you enjoyed it. We spend our lives messing around together laughing so we kinda just let loose when we're on the camera together, as you can tell from the silliness. Thanks for being here. Sean is on a mindfulness retreat at the moment so he'll be replying to comments at the end of next week when he's back x
Haha Steve, I look forward to seeing your video with the crow. I need to watch your 1100 rebel review... love that bike 😄👍
Hey Sean! Thanks for the name-check… and I enjoyed listening to uninterrupted Suze! The whole video was great, and Suze was right to complement you on the care you demonstrated when having a pillion on-board.
Suze - I liked the reference to Impreza - I love those gold wheels too! Cheers. 👍❤️✅✅
Hi Nigel, thanks for your comment, we always love the interactions with this community so thanks for being part of it. Sean's on a retreat until end of next week so I'm sure he'll reply when he comes back x
Adding more value Suzie with the gold wheels reference, I liked that one too 😄
Great review there guys ,interesting to see that going from being a bit indifferent to the bike having once riden it to then being enthusiastic about it says to me that Royal Enfield have done their homework and produced a competent all round motorcycle, great to see Suez and hear her opinion. Excellent 👍
Thanks Kev, appreciate that. Yes I think it's a good all rounder indeed...
Hi folks …. Just come across your channel today …. Like your comments on the bike ….. hope you don’t mind a tiny bit of constructive criticism…. Stop interrupting each other … ye both do it …. It takes from the message you are trying to give .
Otherwise.. nice vid 👍👏
Superb criticism, we do this a lot and do work on being mindful of it and not to cut in, we just get so excited! Thanks for your comment x
Thanks for this comment we will work on the convo flow 👍
cool video, well explained and from a pillions perspective, I have the White Kamen, absolutely adore the bike, puts a great big smile on my face, but well done on the video, straight to the point, and Im glad the Himmy has won you over, just let Sooz know that it has got a great soundtrack when the bike is revved, a good throaty roar.
Thanks Syd, appreciate that. Glad you are getting on well with the bike.
OMG!! Suzie with the incredible pep talk at 21:10 ....always love catching your thoughts because I guess you enjoy riding a bike just like I do Sean so your thoughts mean a lot...such a great little video you guys!
Awww that's so kind thank you, I LOVE being on here so thanks for the support ❤
@@ShaktiSuzie Absolutely...and Sean is right about the bike brakes being set up for India...let me know if you two would like to come out to India sometime...would love to help out on both the yoga and the biking front!
Very kind thanks Romeldias 😊. We do talk about going to India, it's on the list!
@@MindfulMotorcyclist Anytime....think about the pilgrimages for the both of you! Im here for any insight on India :)
Great to see you out Suzie girl! It was wonderful seeing you do this video with Sean. You both compliment each other very well. We have been & will continue to send prayers up for your 100% recovery. I really like the looks of this bike. If I were in the market for a bike, I would have a go at this bike. A blessed day to you both. Cheers!! Illinois, USA
Thank you very much Larry, very much appreciate you kindness as always. We wish you and your family well!
Yup, leave the outtakes in. Works well. Some reviews are so polished they wear very thin!
Thank you Bruce, really appreciate that 🙏 👍
I like the idea of the 452 Himmy. But I really liked the looks of the old 411. Now if they had made an option to put the 450 in a 411 Himmy frame, that would be really nice. I just like the classic styling is all.
A fair point I think the 411 looks nicer than the 452...
Good comments on the bike from both of you! Sean, I’m happy the bike turned out to be a bit of a pleasant surprise. I have seen some comments around (not too many so far, but still) people don’t like the Sherpa platform, as it’s too modern. I strongly disagree with that, and I hope RE continue moving forward. Royal Enfield are evolving faster in a decade than Harley-Davidson have in over 120 years. That’s a good thing. The air cooled bikes will always be there, so long as legislation allows. We all love them, but we have to leave room for evolution, as well. Hey, how did I get up on this soap box… 😂
Thanks Mark, and yes get up on the soap box! Join me up here 😂
Lovely shirt. Reminds me of a settee my Nan used to have. 😉
😂 Ben, I was thinking I could get away with it... 🤔😂
@MindfulMotorcyclist 🤣 nothing to get away with pal, you're owning it! Absolute rock star, keep up the good work 👏🏻
Thank you both. As a rider who likes plodders as well (torque rather than revs) I was interested to see this review. The vibes have been mentioned by a lot of reviewers but the only way to tell if it’s a deal breaker is to take a test ride which I intend doing. I can’t see this being a serious competitor to the CF as the Chinese bike is more aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Thanks Jonathan for the comment, much appreciated 👏
That was really fun guys. It's nice to see a lovely lady riding on the back of a motorcycle and making additional comments from her point of view on the back of the motorcycle... Very well done.
Texas on the prairie
That's very kind Greg, really appreciate that. I'll let Suzie know your feedback 😊👍
great video and brilliant content
Thanks very kind, thank you 😊
The side stand is being modified as you speak, will hit the showroom soon !
Source ?
Didn't find this news anywhere on the internet
@@vidhikalaria8201 the guy from Royal Enfield disclosed the information in a video from ABR rally in England. Tank bag on its way soon , magnetic. 🧲
Yeah and please stop calling it a center stand !
@@vidhikalaria8201 czcams.com/video/IsGCECMMcH4/video.htmlsi=WENUAV3wIDl22eM2
Oooo that would be much better!
Great to see Suze, always so jolly!
Thank you, very kind 😀👍
What a great review, two opinions on pillion and rider positions. It was a very honest and well explained review. I will look forward to test riding the Guerrilla, then maybe the Himalayan. Thanks for your honest reviews which suggest no brand favouritism, just honest bike reviews.
That's very kind Graham, thank you so much. Guerilla does sound exciting for me... not sure when I will get to ride one however.
Such a great couple and great video
Thanks Rob that's very kind words and very appreciated from us 😊
The new 2024 Sherpa engine was definitely needed to make the Himalayan 450 a more desirable bike. Just like the Honda CRF300 RALLY, which is very close in terms of power to the old version, it's just not enough for a true off-road adventure bike. When you watch Noraly on Itchy Boots, you can see that the Honda struggles when pushed performing real world journeys. So giving the 450 twice the amount of HP and torque, has freshened up the range.
Hey Sean - it's Jack from Sharpham - loving the vids man keep em up!
Hi Jack, thanks so much for the message. Had a great time with you guys. I'll sub you back 😀
Great watch guys Suze wow how fit are you I think Sean should give it a try if only for the giggle factor 😂.I was in my local Enfield dealership yesterday talking with one of the guys in the shop and they really are impressive having the 3 year warranty and the fact that they will check for any faults that may occur at every service .I am liking the Gorilla very much and may own one one day who knows , and the prices make them such good value and definately strong competition for the Triumph 400's. Great watch I don't watch shorts so take your time and say what you want to say it's all good for me and I am sure most all of your subscribers we watch it for your entertainment value as much as in depth reviews keep up the good work guys superb 😉👌👍
That is spot on thank you, I say to Sean we shouldn't rush it as those that want our longer more authentic content will watch and enjoy. He likes to be mindful of everyone. And yes we've had some convos this week about the Guerilla, it's Sean's birthday soon and oh I wish I could buy him one!x
Thank you Crumbly for such a kind comment and vote of confidence in us. It goes a long way 😄👍🙏
not my cup of tea , but i would not have any concerns about buying this bike quality wise , with suze on the back the bike made light work of the ride , and suze had lots of security with the grab rails to hang on to and was able to relax a bit and look at the scenery ,,, job done ;;
Exactly, I was so pleasantly surprised too. It shows how our perception of something is always best challenged otherwise we judge before we even know 😊
Great video guys if the side stand is modified I wonder will this make it harder to mount the bike with throwing your leg over ?
Yes, that side tilt does seem to allow all heights of passengers to climb aboard, we'll review it as soon as it comes out x
You could always mount cowboy style? Putting a foot on the peg leaning over the bike prior to climbing on board. Useful on bigger bikes.
Excellent review guys😊 Steering lock looks excellent - certainly compared to our SM650, which is a cruiser with the turning circle of a battleship 😂
Thank you Philip, I was impressed by the steering lock!
Thank you so very much for a look at the Himalayan 450 from both rider and pillion viewpoints. As a totally unrelated aside, your roads are really are lovely but oh so tiny. From commiefornia USA, keep putting a smile on each other's face as well as our own and keep putting the great back in Great Britain!
SS
Awww thanks SS. We certainly do make each other smile. We discussed the other day whether our humour was just between us and other people wouldn't get it, but I think some are touched by it so that's lovely. We'd happily come and ride on some of your big roads when we're next in Cali 😁
Thanks SS! Appreciate it 🙏
Would it be rude to ask what setting you needed for the rear shock?
Just been out this morning doing the crow all around Worcestershire.
Haha, I'd like to see that! 😅
Haha Andy! 😂
Keep doing it guys
Thank you x
We will Buzz, to infinity and beyond!
@@MindfulMotorcyclist yeah, to infinity and beyond
Great I rode that at Midwest Moto on that Himalayan I find there is a lot of vibration through bars, mirrors are a bit small otherwise nice bike ........... I purchased a CF and traded my 411 in. Nice review. Writing my comments before you said about the vibes 🤐
Thanks Rockclima, appreciate the comment. Glad you bought the CF!
Nice review. Get well soon. 🙏🙏👍👍
Thank you Clay, that's very kind and appreciated 👏
just shows - first impressions can be wrong ;;;; after the the test ride , and with a pillion bikes seems a good buy ;;;
Thanks Simon 😊
I support the pillion yoga. That sounds like a separate channel though 😂
Cheers IM. 👍
Nice guys
Now waiting for the CFMOTO like for a pillion haha
I think the himi looks much better than the CF Moto, imo !
@@johnharris7353 looks is subjective matter, haha I prefer 450MT looks over the Himi 450.
Yes we will do that soon for sure, we just need to be able to ride one! They're all customers bikes at the moment so no demos x
Mate, you're wearing the shirt, but she's definitely wearing the trousers.🤣
I'm actually wearing shorts 😂
Kind of rude comment there 🙄
Say you ever ate any Himalayan venison? It's delicious! I found Himalayan on the road! Hahaha Lol !
"Ger iya". Its a Spanish word.
I wouldn't want one. Nick
Worst test I've ever seen. You talk about everything but the motorcycle. Your dialogue on the subject of a motorcycle could be recorded in 5 minutes. And the guy driving should drive a scooter.
😂 not for you then 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣@@MindfulMotorcyclist
so... like... i believe you are talking about motorcycles. but you keep using words that don't make sense like Gorilla and Sherpa. Is this an ad-lib act?
Gorilla is the name of the new version of the bike that's more street orientated like the Scram 411. Sherpa is the name of the new engine in the Himalayan 450 (and new Street version Gorilla). So they are making sense but perhaps should have explained that for those not in the know.
Gorilla is new street version of this bike (like Scram for old 411). Sherpa is the name of the new engine. So they are making sense but perhaps should have explained for those not in the know.
@@HW-kf7hi in the American market of Suzukis and Kawasakis and maybe KTM..
These British bike names are exotic and alien. They must not get much advertising here. Which is too bad, They look nice.
Yes we very quickly very quickly do get into the weeds with royal enfield. And yes it's very much ad lib, I couldn't write a script to save my life 🤣
