Does it feel really heavy at slow speeds/in a garage/traffic light? I love the looks of the bike but I really worry it'd be too heavy for be as a beginner rider

You're so right. All the debating and energy spent thinking about hp and torque is for the 1% of the time you ride at peak power curve and let's face it, that's some straight line overtake on a dual carriage way for most people

Just found your channel on TH-cam I ride the same roads your are riding in video . Have 1969 bsa a65 thunderbolt . Looking at getting Enfield 650 but no sure which model. Like your informative video of Interceptor. Would be great to bump into you on a ride.

Yeah, crazy how quick you can get onto roads like that in this country. Love it.

Sounds fantastic through headphones 😊

Absolutely gutted for you mate, I’m sat here in my RE top after having to reject my 411 for refund a few years back real shame they arnt getting to the bottom of these issues. Hope you got it sorted in the end. I think it’s good to share these things as it helps keep the companies honest. Compared to all the paid reviews. I tried the hitchcocks ones on my himmy which helped

Needs a Mars bar

Nice content, thanks man!

I get it, it's slow, simple but superb? LOL come on...get real

I just received my cover, in black suede and it looks very good, especially for the price! Mine was very difficult to fit and get the final corner on evenly, but it did go on after a bit of pulling for an hour, probably stretching the material a bit. It’s on now and looks good, now will need to go for a ride and see any further benefits! My stock seat is not comfortable,but also not the brick a lot of people think it is and has improved the more it’s used, either that or my arse has improved!😂

Check RR unit

An excellent video. Respectfully put together with no cussing etc. I was probably their biggest critic before we bought two. My wife and I travel extensively. We've ridden many miles and various locations. Both of us have been riding since we were kids. Now both Senior age lol, and still riding, our two Himi's are awaiting our return to the US were they are stored to do Central America next year. This year, its India on Himi's. Now, I'm a convert although between us, we still have a Ducati, BMW and two Harleys in the stable at home. Thanks again. Wishing you well. Yiur report was both true and accurate. A pleasure to watch unlike some others I've hinted at. Steveandsuzzertw 👍🏍️🏍️

I have a himmy call it freedom in nz. I love my FREEDOM. It's perfect bike for what I do. I have so much modes on it that it looks amazing. People get into conversation asking about my FREEDOM. ❤

Watching from NZ Some good tips Honest review Do you think R E have an issue with rust and poor quality chrome

🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️

So glad you fixed the problem & kept your cool. Many many miles of trouble free riding - TC.

Wow....what a brilliant review, eloquent and Intelligent. ent

I'm seriously thinking of trading my Interceptor for a Himmy, the Inty just isnt versatile enough and every time it rains it needs an hour's polishing to get it looking presentable. Your video has helped a lot, many thanks for doing it.

One of the best reviews I've seen yet, thanks. Actually, it is the best, a really good experienced riders perspective. The only other ones really of note are from Stuart Fillingham. There are a lot of reviews on this bike but they are generally appalling. Even the MCN review is by someone who admits it is his first bigger bike. Many of the others appear to be by people who want to see how much they can spend on upgrades before getting out for a ride. Others are "First Impressions...", And then there's all the clickbait ones...... "five things I hate", "what Enfield got wrong" etc etc. The way a lot of reviews go you'd think you need to upgrade forks, shocks, seat, tyres and exhaust before even getting off the driveway. You seem to be running completely stock even down to the CEAT tyres and yet are enjoying the experience hugely. This gives me much more confidence to just go for it and upgrade as and when I find something lacking. My current bike is a Ducati Monster, which is great in many/most ways but I fancy something more suited to carrying luggage for touring, and more forgiving (I'm still getting used to the - for me - overly powerful front braking) and yes looking like the kind of bike I remember is also a plus. In fact something closer to my old '79 Bonnie, the bike that was so universally good I stopped needing to look for what might be "better". This may surprise readers but I must have covered around 80,000 largely trouble free miles on that Bonnie. As it is older tech, I did use to give the engine a strip down every two winters though, to check bearings and give it a de-coke, but that what I considered to be treating the bike as a friend rather than a consumer durable. I felt I was on the bike riding from your video, rather than just watching, and it reminded me very much of my Bonnie days. Top notch, and thank you again, I'm glad I found this review.

Very useful! Thanks for posting; hopefully you’re not having issues anymore

On the styling of the rear lights and the front indicators, i wish they were round which would suit the aesthetic of the bike better in my opinion

You have a great way with words. Well written and presented review.

Can we use this for cb350rs?

Could you please share what new battery did you install?

From what I can gather, ALL the connectors on every single electrical component on these bikes seem to be Fouled up with this poxy white grease. Perhaps it might be worth spending a little while unplugging every connector you can find and removing and cleaning all this white breakdown from all the connectors? And don't get me started on removing and replacing the rear wheel.....

helpful review

The Land Rover Defender comparison/military retro square lines comparison is excellent.

I changed the relays by royal enfield Scarborough sorted this for free for me its been brilliant with no problem now

I do wach that man on a motorbike so i will definitely keep a look at your channel

Really loved your video brilliant . I just altered my suspension and my bike was good checked air pressure . I had my Enfield from 2019 love the bike and the only thing i change is the oil and re set tappits i like the bike as it come from the dealer i did fit back rack and top bag and two saddle bags Keep up the video's there really good 👍 👌

how they perform in Rainy season?

riding one/no handed is something I see a lot on youtube. until you run over a pebble/catch a gust you will be fine.

Hi, i cleaned my relays as soon as i brought my Euro 5 and never gad any issues

Have you tried the tan

Can you say “purple burglar alarm” ? 😉

Ive owned my Baker for over 3 yrs and covered quite a few thousand miles, and i agree with virtually everything you say. An excellent review, in my opinion, with thoughtful and well made comments.

Bought one in Australia, dropped it in 24 hours (forgot all abouot new tires being a returning rider lol) , then knocked out 3500 kms in the hills around Canberra in 4 weeks....the HAPPIEST days of my life ! Fabulous, fun bike to ride!

Hi mate, haven't heard from you since a while. I hope everything okay! 😊

that gold reservoir is fake. Cut open, it is a solid chunk of metal.

Brilliant review, well observed, funny and informative.

Thanks for the video. I understand you perfectly. I have a serious problem with my 2019 RE Cont 650 and it is that the engine cuts off once the Abs comes on and then the engine failure warning light comes on. I manage to start but after a few kilometers it stops again. One of the times I almost fell. I no longer have confidence in the bike.

You need to get yourself a girlfriend mate……….

I notice watching the video you have a common problem. Subconscious indicator cancel. It’s a common problem, riding along and subconsciously cancelling the indicator… I don’t have a fix for this problem, even self cancelling indicators don’t work 😅

Im 5’5 and I feel like I can’t flat foot for confidence if I carry a pillion

I have a Euro 5 Himsy and I haven't had a concern about the bike dropping in on the front, was your tyre pressure correct? I have found that dropping on is a symptom of an under inflated front tyre.

How does it hold up during rain?

I've just bought a Continental GT Twin 650. Almost the same problem. Under low RPM the engine cuts. It has made a big consuption of fuel. I took the bike to a garage, every eletric possible problem was checked. Still with out answers...

My youngest son and his partner covered 15, 000 miles around Europe last year, both riding Himalayans. That'll be thirty five countries over four months, much of it off-road. From the UK, South to Gibraltar, North toFinland and every (accessible) country in-between. They did their own servicing and tyre changes en route. A broken pannier frame was the only mechanical problem. Both bikes are still in daily use. The Himalayan is more than the sum of its parts. Not quick, but quick enough. And it's versatile, reliable, cheap to service yourself and everyday usable. And it's a whole lot of fun! A future classic. Just bought a low-mileage example myself after a weekend riding my son's Himmy. Great bike! Ride safe. Love and peace.

Could be the rectifier...

A great review. I love my Scram 411. Less is more!😁
