Tested: Royal Enfield Himalayan 450

Royal Enfield’s much-anticipated all-new Himalayan 450 takes an evolutionary leap over its predecessor. But how do all those sweeping upgrades to engine, chassis, suspension, bodywork, electronics and a host of other components translate into performance gains and the overall riding experience?

My take home from your review is that its an unintimidating fun bike that is surprisingly capable across a variety of terrains. Doesn't bother me at all if you need a paper to help deliver the message.

Are you serious mate? You reckon maybe he’s made a few a notes or got some reference material so he doesn’t forget the main points he wants to cover off on a bike he’s ridden for the first time that he doesn’t know as well as the dirt bikes he usually rides? Wake up to yourself
