Thanks for your comment John. Yes it does look amazing although only available in limited supply in the UK 😊

I love the Yellow one

Thanks for your comment Brett. I agree but it is an improvement on the Interceptor 😊

My issue with the bear is that the foot brake is so close to the engine casing …but much more comfortable than super meteor

Thanks for your comment John. I agree. I'm looking forward to test riding the 650 Classic 👌

I absolutely love these bears… I rode the 249 for nearly 2 hours on Saturday morning in North Wales…. Such a brilliant planted bike…..

Thanks for your comment Brett. I will have to take your your word for it because 😢 i haven't ridden the Super Meteor. All I can safely say is that the 650 Bear is really comfortable 👌

The polish is somewhat better for RE…suspension is better compared to the Super Meteor cause it’s horrible. The foot brake so close to the engine is terrible and super uncomfortable to find

What's up with the poodle ball on your face?

Thanks for your comment. Yes as I suggested in the video. Some will like the new TFT screen and others won't.

Thanks for your comment Richard and for your kind words of encouragement 👍

Great video and really well summed up. One thing people forget is that Royal Enfield re entered the UK market in a big way with the introduction of the Bullet and Classic 500's back in 2010 and slightly later with the original 535cc Continental GT. All of these used the newly developed UCE engine. I own one of the final Battle Green 500's and the fit and finish of this bike is every bit as good as the new 350's and Himalayan 411 (which I also own, the 411 that is).

Great bikes but I would prefer dual analog clocks.

Thanks for your comment Stanley. I honestly didn't feel that the bike was top heavy at all filtering through traffic or maneuvering around.

Do like them Where the weight of bike is it top heavy like the interceptor be nice if it was lower down

Thanks for your comment. I rode for around an hour and found both the seat and the new shocks more comfortable, as well as the riding geometry.

Nice ride! How did you find the riding position? Was it comfortable on the long run compared to the Interceptor?

Hi Chris, thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I'm pleased that enjoyed the video. I am desperately trying to record my "Welcome to my new bike " video 😉😀

Hi Noel, hope all is well. I'm glad you have bought a 450, I love mine to bits! The Benelli is gone.....and tomorrow a Bear is arriving! Really looking forward to it. Keeep up the channel, Regards, Chris.,

Thanks for the comment again John and you kind words of encouragement.

Nice day for a ride on the RE nice review thanks and ride safe

Thanks for your comment Arthur. Point taken about the background 😊

Minor criticism, if you do a video of the 2025 event, please please please lose that awful few bars of repetitous music. You commentary and the exhaust notes are all the sound it needs.

Noel, great video, thoroughly enjoyed it. By the way, we have worked together, Graham Butcher, we worked together at Flex Connectors, and I also worked at Ashley & Rock and Hager, so it's a small world. I'm now a subscriber to your channel, well done mate. The time you were speaking of with the Chinese influx of electrical wiring accessories into the UK, I think I was working at Crabtree Electrical and lost some market share to them and I think the make that suffered the most might have been MK.

Thanks for your comment 👍

Thanks for your comment Quintin. Yes I am really looking forward to getting out on Jimi2 as soon as the better weather arrives. Watch out for my videos 😊

Congratulations on acquiring a new Himalayan 450! They look to be great bikes with all the appeal of a versatile, simple, yet capable machine......Roll on the Spring! Cheers.

Thank you and thanks for your comment 😊

Congratulations !!! atb

Thanks for your comment Michael.

Thanks for your comment. I'm looking forward to seeing how i get on with Jimi2 on all types of roads, camping etc. My next video should also be interesting to you. 😊

I am looking at these when its time to sell the interceptor, will keep watching to see how you get on with Jimi 2 and uses on major roads and motorways

Thanks for your comment Syd. I'm really looking forward to getting out when the weather improves 😊

Thanks for your comment Martin. I agree it is, should we say compact. I'm 6' and although I probably fitted better than you guys, I found it to have too much of an aggressive stance for me. Check out my latest video 😊

Brilliant great new bike

Well done on the purchase

Hi, only recently come across your channel - interesting content. As a 411 Himalayan owner/rider I tried the 450 Himalayan a few months ago, but finally made the acquaintance of the Guerrilla a couple of days ago. Great little bike as you say, but at 6' 3", it's just too small for me. My son's also 6" 3", and he found it the same. Food for thought. Nice video anyway.

I see you have put the touring screen back on . Have you changed your mind about it's performance or is it just for looks ? atb.

Отличный обзор, благодарю!

I will never get rid of my 411, but I did find myself at the rear of the pack on the highway portion of a multi-day camping tour of Eastern oregon. If I get another bike for that type of riding, it would probably be the Bear 650. It has the additional power and just looks so much better. I fell in love with the Himalayan for its utility, not its looks. For touring, I think the Bear will do fine when I run out of pavement. I will save my Himalayan for the dirt roads and logging trails.

Greetings from Nova Scotia. Maybe I need to consider my Harris Tweed as opposed to buying some Klim…

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for your comment.

Nice! I really enjoy mine.

Eine schöne Maschine 👍

no music please

time to start riding now, you ve done a bit too much. gotta do around 50k miles to make it worth your while

Great video. That screen looks particularly interesting. Do you feel it's an improvement over the OEM screen? As a tall rider (6'5") I find the standard one ok but I'm always looking for an improvement. Oh, and I've subscribed too 😎

A very enjoyable watch. Thanks.
