Had a 50 molded the exhaust with 1nch plumbing pipe to dual exhaust sounded great rode it all over orange county in the early to mid 50s

Great video. I urrently have a livewire one (great bike) and a fully modded Pan America.I have had the whole harley lineup over the years. Just sold paul Yaffee back his chopper i had for 20 years.Not the most comfortable bike. I am thinking about getting this bike for our home up north in the mountains,I would imagine because of the weight this may be able to do more trials then my Pan.I may get so son and i can ride some of the fire roads. The Himalayan as i see it could do some more difficult trails do to weight.

Any thoughts on the side stand?

I know the UK and us gallon are slightly different, but my 350 meteor always does over 90 MPG best tank so far 106 MPG . For reference I ride mostly 55 to 60 mph with the odd burst of 70 mph😁😁

Wahoo.

Good content dude.. Btw, people are animals - Why graffiti the road in such a beautiful place??..😉

I have never worn a seat out, what’s your secret?

"Someone sent this to me ". 🤣

That bike has the "ying" through the gears (old 2-stroke term), it revs quickly...they'll sell a lot of this bike and the guerilla too. Your friend Jim sounds familiar; I have sold a ninja 650 with 459 miles, a GSXr-750 with 796 miles, etc My two Triumphs: 2012 Thruxton has 2,500 miles, the 2020 Speed Twin 1200 has almost 1,100 miles and both are available; going cheap... My 750INT stays, has 45,000 miles 😂

4:14 107mph or 172kmph 👀

I was told by an Enfield dealer here in the UK the warranty would be invalid if you delete the CAT. Slip ons are fine?

way better choice. Aew just is a horrible pipe for any bike.. just plain loud no character.. this is better then that..

I am not a fan of loud bikes as like you I enjoy riding longer distances and the constant drone of a too loud exhaust isn't for me. This bike sounds nice and if I heard it in person it could well be "just right". The bike certainly is just that and more. Thank you! SS in commiefornia, USA!

is this colour way Matt or Gloss and yes that sounds nice

I'm convinced the new Himalayan is the way to go for me, any concerns with it being a new model, any benefit to riding my xt225 a couple more years until a 2nd gen Himalayan comes out?

A traveling bike really needs cruise control. There's no excuse for not having it with ride by wire throttles.

Do you know what brand Punjabi pipe it has?

Good point. Thanks for the video.

I was right where you are a few years ago with my Suzuki Vstrom. It’s a beautiful ride!

It will do rough stuff because from ground up it was designed and tested to run effortlessly in Himalayan/ ladakh terrain .

It has a 13 liters tank. They have made look like the base variant which is available in india. But talking about seat height they have pushed it up and made it look taller than the actual variant. Nice mods tho. 🔥

You can ring the Himmy out drop it & man handle it as a Flash ADV is so flash & expensive average Joe doesn't want to risk it & ends up veing a road bike & good gravel roads.A Himmy 452 you'll take more risks & easier to manhandle & like you said the weight is manageable & is now mote Highway,Motorway friendly too.

I was just looking at some Baxter Cycle bikes today! Might have to head over there before winter

Sounds great!

We're not in a hurry people...

I really like the blue.

I just got back from my local RE dealer, who JUST got their first 452 - it was so new that they hadn't even put on the windshield yet. Sat on it and poked around for a while and really liked what I saw, I'm in the market for my first bike and I think it just jumped into the lead. Funny thing there, btw, a 411 owner came up to look at it, we talked for a bit, and he mentioned your videos!

Got over 10, 000 miles on mine now..... 😁

small adv are great. they do what needs to be done. my versys 300x commutes and can check my dad's cows in the pasture. highway to the pasture at 60mpg hard to beat. I wish RE BMW TRIUMPH and other small adv makers were closer. I love my Kawasaki versys 300x. bells and whistles just break and run up the cost. order a 22 ford ranger base model except 4x4

I can agree with what you say, the heavier the ADV bike, the more difficult it is to handle off-road. I think the 452 is an ideal all-rounder

I really want to test ride one of these. Thinking about trading in my 2017 AT for one. I really love my AT though. I am torn.

Fuzzy , the hurricane weather in the south kept me from riding this weekend . The owner of the Rattlesnake saloon gives a shout out to you . Some of my friends in Alabama saw you on the channel 19 news last Saturday evening . Your famous ! 😅

Next time you do the Filter mate can you please show we’re the intake is to the airbox , maybe look into a pre-filter so don’t need to take of tank every time .

Yeah, ill never forget you blowing past me when I was at 80-85 2 weeks ago south of Joplin! I would bet there is nothing that bike can't do ever. If my knees would allow me to have mid controls, I think I'd have to have one myself! (Unfortunately, just that riding mids all day at BBBQ last week had my knees really sore the next day) Love that RE 'hot rod' as you call it!

I have had 3 big ADVs over the last 20 years. The reason I like them is the riding position. At my old age (76) I can spend more hours in the saddle without getting tired. Yes, I miss my R1. It was the best bike I ever owned, but in the end I could only ride for 20 or 30 minutes. So why a big ADV? Because my 1290 SAS is a blast to ride. Puts a smile on my face every time.

I think the stock Harley Sportster muffler would do the same thing without all the noise . If you use the top muffler from the pair (one without the cross over port) it would look almost stock . Because they come from a much bigger engine they breath really good and sound amazing. Just a thought . I went to 26mm carbs Mikuni’s from 24’s and these mufflers on my 71 Honda SL 350 for only a little 350 they made a huge difference in power and tunability .

If i needed it too, could it do 85 sustained on an interstate?

Good video and some valid points . This is the KISS bike [ Keep It Simple Stupid ]. It's so nice , I could kiss it . Does that sound stupid ?

Just completed two identical rides out across dartmoor (40mph limits due to cattle, sheep and ponies running loose) on my new RE 450 Himalayan and my 'keeepr' bmw r1200RS. Both did the ride as well as each other, including 70mph A roads but less fuel used on the 450. Priced a change for the 2017 RS (18,000miles, full service history and in very good condition) offer to a new R1250RS SE - £12000 plus the bike - at least the nearly £2k of accessories, hugger, engine protector, side cases, inserts and top box would swop over OR keep my RS and buy a new Himalayan - now have 500 miles on the RE and spare money in the bank for more trips out. I could use either now for another trip from uk to Norway and although different machines I have no doubt the RE would probably be more fun once I got above the arctic circle.

Economically, the amount of depreciation on the high-end ADV bikes over a two or three year period of time would pay for the H452 ... even if it disappeared you'd break even.

Im from india and my criteria for any bike (adv) is that i should be able to lift it, handle it all by myself high up in the himalayan mountains. If i can do that, i can manage the bike anywhere else in any situation. My ,ain criteria is weight and it has to be under 200 kgs, or max under 210. This ticks of all the boxes. Royal enfield announced yesterday that the tubeless spoke rims will now be available. So once im back from the himalayas where i am touring currently, I'll order one. My friends have bigger bikes (2 versys 650 and 1 bmw 850gsa in the group) and all struggled in the mountains requiring minimum of 2 people to pick up a fallen bike.

Have a deposit down for three weeks just waiting for one to show up on the east coast lol

Yesterday Re launched tubeless tyre himalayan 450 in India.

I have that bike, just retired, my first project. Thanks for showing what she willl look like.

Couldn't agree more. There is no adventure when you have the bike do it all for you. The Himalayan is plenty capable, but it still requires RIDER input and RIDER skill. It's not just the best "bang for your buck" bike, it's truly the best ADV out there.

Hey fuzzy agree with u most manufacturers realized this & many devloping smaller CC bikes now 👍👍 , what leather jacket you wearing looks cool 😎

I've put a deposit down and pre-ordered Slate Poppy Blue. Now its a waiting game. Dealer had a demo that i was fortunate to test ride. It was there for only a week. I had an old Himalayan 411 and this is a completely new experience!

My RE dealer also handles the larger, more sophisticated Adv bikes., plus their sport touring and retro bikes. Time will tell if the Himi cuts into their profits. At home in the garage watching it rain. Got a morning ride in b4 the rain. Wahoo !!

It's just reality that this 452 glAdventure bike is more fun to ride and far more economical to own than any over-sized sAdventure bike. It's not that the BIG Adv scoots aren't nice, they are, but they're not the Himmie 452. It is easy to get out of the garage and get on (or off!) the road. SS in commiefornia, USA.
