Well no motorcycle is perfect but I feel Himalayan has a huge potential for a performance overhaul. Titanium header, Akrapovic CBR-S1000RR style slip on to remove the Cat-Conv. Add some fuel management system. Play around with Gear ratio. Bigger windscreen. Should turn out to be a sweet Long range Missile. However, One thing you cannot correct on a Single cylinder are the Vibrations. BUT, we can do really good mods before that Vibrations kick in. I should start charging money for my Expertise
yeah, I am 190 cms, and constantly find myself slipping towards the tank. And that threatens my family jewels. So for me (and for a lot of other people out there who say the same) this seat needs to go.
You are right about pass switch. They made similar pass switch for interceptor as well, i think after introduction of meteor 350 and whoever came up with that kind of switch and that position for pass switch should be "spanked" very hard for such a stupid idea....
I really am not convinced about the complain regarding the tubed tyres. When i am buying the bike knowing the tyres are tubed , why m i complaining later that it has tubed tyres. It is not something i wasn't aware of before hand. If this was an issue, there were other alloy options available in the market. Why should i complain on stuffs i already considered while buying
That is because we were teased that sometime in the future, (date not disclosed) we would get tubeless spoked wheels! Which sparked the excitement across the nation. But since the motorcycle's overall design is such that it is built for everything you can throw in its path, the company thought people can do with this version too. Just to drive sales. And small time CZcamsrs are making such video so that it helps a common user get an idea about the pros and cons of the motorcycle. Sort of a public service if you will. Thank you for watching the video!
@@SrinivasGanesh other pros n cons are understandable Sir, but this one is something we are agreeing upon while purchasing, so things we already considered before buying is not truly a demerit. It's somewhat like agreeing upon booking a non sea facing room n then telling, no sea view from the room.. others are okay sir, but this issue is already agreed upon before purchasing. Those who want it with spoke tubeless will have to wait to buy.
Very well said! I took my one final test ride recently to choose between the Interceptor and Himalayan and I noticed most of what you said in the recent videos. Finally locked on with the Interceptor 🤝🏼✨! Thank you for all these amazing videos, keep them coming ❤
I assume the problem with led headlights under performing is to reduce the glare they produce for oncoming traffic. Its what i noticed on my activa 125 and haunts me when i have to ride in the night, but I've adapted to it. Just gotta embrace the darkness like Batman 😉. Love your content and editing style, really subtle and nice. Happened to find your channel as i test rode the Himalyan,hope to get one soon. Definitely gonna sub and look forward to the next video of the Himalayan ❤.
Good review mate. Factual and based on actual long term riding the bike. The new RE Himmy is certainly not without its faults; the irony is that RE could’ve just as easily fixed most of these niggles at production and pre sales.
But aisa hi toh hota hai. Jab naya lete ho toh dil se lete ho. Use karne ke baad aankh khulti hain and galiyan nazar aati hain. I feel he still loves his bike along with its faults.
that is because no motorcycle is perfect, and when I have bought it, then why not tell people about its pros and CONS in order to help them make their decision. :) P.s. working on a video about what I LOVE about the new himalayan.
The only con for me is that the bike pulls towards the right side once the hands are lifted and the side stand leans too much. Otherwise, everything is OK.
nice review, but i think only in India it's considered a premium (price) bike. in europe it's basically the cheaper you can buy in that range, so people accept these limits
I have followed a great deal of reviews as I am considering purchasing a Himalayan. Appreciate your thoughts on it, however you are the only person that has complained about EVERYTHING !! "Bang for buck" is what this bike is about. For what you pay, you are getting an incredible machine. Maybe you should be looking at something else that will be five times more expensive ! Obviously this machine is not for you. The only common complaint I have come across is the plastic rotary switch. Everyone else seems to be in total love with the Himalayan. Odd thing though.... you went and purchased one. That alone kind of says it all !!
You are indeed getting an incredible machine. But can you tell me any machine that has no issues? Yep, I have purchased this amazing motorcycle, because I chose to look past the niggles and get myself a bike that can literally go anywhere. Given that all motorcycle riders will take this bike where most road contractors have not been to, this is an absolute joy ride of a bike. It literally glides over bad roads ensuring the biggest smile I can humanly have. RE does this all the time, they release a batch with cheap parts, which are not brittle by any means, and will last very long as they are indeed on the acceptable side. And improve it gradually. So even though I have made a never ending list of things that are wrong with this bike, that didn't stop me from buying this bike, or recommending this to anyone else as this is miles ahead of what other brands are doing. I know that most people would not like this video and that is okay, however, I did say in the description that these are my opinions only. Cheers P.s. Working on a video that will be titled THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS BIKE! 😎✌🏽 because I do love this bike!
One more minor inconvenience with my bike was signal indicator is springing back to off while indicating to left if I dont leave the switch slowly, I took a while to get used to it
Also, do you find the fuel injectors to be especially loud in the New Himalayan? That was one of my biggest complaints, it's way too loud compared to other motorcycles I've ridden, even the Int 650. Way too annoying when you're sitting in traffic, and I constantly feel the need to rev the engine out to drown out that electronic whine.
@@SrinivasGanesh you will only notice it by putting your helmet off, it's a slight constant sound, approximately 10% to 15% of the initial fuel injection sound when you start the engine
Agree with your assement. my point is that all these niggles could have been sorted by the so called expert test riders before the roll out. with all these corrected and tubeless tyres, no one would have complained even paying 40k more. Why does the better alternative be offered as an accessory and not the standard. Most buyers are attarcted bybyhe pricing and that is where i feel something like Honda NX 500 losses out as its only drawback is that it is maybe 50k overpriced. But it is a CBU so quality is assured. It depends how much one values quality and peace of mind and long term hassle free ownership. i would go for NX 500 over himalayan as the intent of quality product delivery to customer is quite obvious with NX 500. Ur views on this?
better alternative as an accessory IS the main business model of automotive industry. Honda is definitely quality assured, however what RE is doing is, giving the customers a low budget ADV which can take the beating. Given that all motorcycle riders will take this bike where most road contractors have not been to. If they wait for the quality parts then they loose out on sales. Hence an idea is born, that, release a batch with cheap parts, which are not brittle by any means, and will last long as they are indeed on the acceptable side but not polished side. And improve it gradually. So even though I have made a never ending list of things that are wrong with this bike, that didn't stop me from buying this bike, as this is an absolute joy ride. And literally glides over bad roads ensuring the biggest smile I can humanly have.
Those vibrations really do creep in between the 3k-6k RPM, and they are felt all throughout the handlebars, the seats, the footpegs, the tank, but I noticed they mellow out by 7000rpm, around 140km/hr. Very impractical on Indian Roads considering we'd find ourselves mostly cruising between the 3k-5k range.
@@MOONRIO i dont own the bike but same is generally case with 250 to 450 cc bikes. Engine oil change to FS and Hard riding with heavy engine breaking solves the issue as the gears are brushed enough together. See this iis RE the refinement of cuts of engines is not that great that of Suzuki or honda or triumph.. So yeah we do this by hig rpm riding and heavy engine breaking from there to sub 20 speeds on different gears for atleast 3 to 4 months. An engine flush will be needed at oil change.
Did you try the touring seat? Could you please let me know if it’ll help because I am planning to upgrade. Stock seat is painful after 1 hour of riding.
Those points mentioned are mostly personal preference not an issue. And vibrations and heat are all present in other bikes in the same category.. Don't expect a single cylinder to run as smooth as a twin or inline 4 cylinder. Put that in your head.
They should have given the option for it on ‘make it your own’ section. So that the ones who can afford it, get the option of spending more and getting the adjustable set of front suspensions. 🫶🏽
Are you a really pro biker? Because if you are then you wouldn't have mentioned "Tubed Tyre" as an issue. You should at least understand that tubeless tyres can be only installed for alloy wheels and for off roading, alloy is the worst idea. You should at least know basics about bikes.
There is also a concept teased by Royal Enfield, which you might have heard about, the TUBELESS spoked wheels. Which will be launched sometime in July-September 2024. If you are a regular on my channel you might have seen my videos where I have retain spoked wheels on my Interceptor 650 by making them tubeless. Let’s do more research before dissing someone purely based on assumptions. Negativity and comparison in any form is bad. . P.s. Never have I claimed that I am a pro biker. 😝
Hi, can you tell me your reason for spending around 7k on the RE touring mirrors? I was initially planning the same for when I book but now I’m considering going for maybe an Avenger’s pair instead given the wider FOV and of course, the price.
Those touring mirrors are adjustable ones and are a bit smaller than these ginormous mirrors. Part of the reason is during night time driving in the cities, where one rides for a majority of time, people often drive in high beams. And that can be really distracting. So that's that.
Have ridden my new Himalayan for about 1500 kms.. I agree with some of your points.. but i am concerned about it's leaning on Right side when you let go your hands from the handle bar.. did you experience that ?
RE is just abt business. No engine guard, no comfortable seat you have to purchase it as accessories, bad mirror experience, fake promises on tubeless rims and then selling them as aftermarket. Earning money is their main moto and we say make in India 😅 falling easily in the trap. And plus huge waiting period
Yes it sure is all about business. The only thing that you can control if one doesn't want to be in the huge waiting period for the delivery of motorcycle is pay up in full. No finance or loan, just the entire amount in one shot and watch them move mountains to deliver the bike to you.
So that I get to experience the motorcycle as is, and make a video so I help a larger audience get a complete view of how the motorcycle actually is. Don't worry, the list of things that I lOVE about this motorcycle is longer. 🤣
Yes sir seat is good, but again, it was my personal opinion. What to do, opinions are like buttholes. Everyone likes their own and not necessarily other’s. 🙏🏽😅
he he he, no motorcycle is ever perfect. Always comes with its pros and cons. I thought I'll make a detailed video on the cons first and maybe 3000 kms down the line I can make a video about the good stuff. (Which is kind of on its way.)
Dose the bike pull to the write when you let of the gas when crusing I’m talking about balance of the bike I seen a video in India and it did happen according to the rider ,I’m watching from Australia
hi! yes the bike does pull to the right. I have made a video too, will post that tomorrow. It's a short video however. I have trued the front wheel and it has reduced somewhat but not completely gone. However it is far less that what it was previously. This is not due to cone set or bearing problem, it is something else which I'm sure some one will figure it out.
Sir who said I’m complaining? Last I checked it was okay to share your opinions. And never once did I state that the audience has to like my opinion. 🙏🏽
@@SrinivasGanesh but I always see the changing narration within the circle stating, first its March then it went into Q3 2024 and then its December launch in Goa. I mean why does RE always lacks in communication?
What did you descide? I did test both bikes, 3 Himalayans and one ride on the Scrambler 400x. All Himalayanas have issues but the Scrambler 400x was perfect for what it was. It did not offer much what it came with was perfect as it is. The console and the normal naked bike look is a bit of a let down, that''s all. I still want the Himalayan for some reason.😂
Well no motorcycle is perfect but I feel Himalayan has a huge potential for a performance overhaul. Titanium header, Akrapovic CBR-S1000RR style slip on to remove the Cat-Conv. Add some fuel management system. Play around with Gear ratio. Bigger windscreen. Should turn out to be a sweet Long range Missile. However, One thing you cannot correct on a Single cylinder are the Vibrations. BUT, we can do really good mods before that Vibrations kick in. I should start charging money for my Expertise
Hell yeah you should and I completely agree with what you said!
I stopped watching at the seat because
I do own the new Himalayan and I would say that it is one of the best seats on a motorcycle
I think he means it from his point of view. He might be a tall hefty guy so the seat might be getting uncomfortable for him.
yeah, I am 190 cms, and constantly find myself slipping towards the tank. And that threatens my family jewels. So for me (and for a lot of other people out there who say the same) this seat needs to go.
Love your content, but the motion blur is way too much in the recent videos. It's very jarring
Sorry about that, I'll try and reduce it in the next one.

I know it will be discontinued, as the RE scram 450 is coming. However, as the prototype looks, it will not be suitable for off road.
but the front suspension is adjustable right ? isn't it ?

Sir who said I’m complaining? Last I checked it was okay to share your opinions. And never once did I state that the audience has to like my opinion. 🙏🏽
Bro any clue on tubeless rims?
As clueless as anyone else. I want them so bad!
@@SrinivasGanesh but I always see the changing narration within the circle stating, first its March then it went into Q3 2024 and then its December launch in Goa.
I mean why does RE always lacks in communication?
are you doing something about that tube tire bullshit
Yes. Ignoring it. 🤣

View is too wide for my liking.
sorry to hear that.
Should I change my mind from Himalayan 450 to scrambler 400x
You have to take a test ride of both the bikes.
What did you descide? I did test both bikes, 3 Himalayans and one ride on the Scrambler 400x. All Himalayanas have issues but the Scrambler 400x was perfect for what it was. It did not offer much what it came with was perfect as it is. The console and the normal naked bike look is a bit of a let down, that''s all. I still want the Himalayan for some reason.😂
You sound like my ex mother-in-law. She moaned about everything! 😂😂😂

I like how you used a term of endearment for your in-laws. ‘MOAN’ 🤣
🤣
