    400lbs dry includes a center stand, luggage rack, crash bars? And the tank holds more fuel than the other bikes....I'm in! This looks like a home run to me. Great review!

    Excellent video review!
    Too many seem to think the Himi is a "Dual Sport" and they complain about the weight, the suspension, the power.... But the himi is designed to be an "All Road" bike that can also do difficult rails and single track at a lower speed. It is what I consider an adventure bike that will take you anywhere at a speed that doesn't break the bike or the rider.
    If the rider wants to blast down trails with buddies this isn't the right bike, if the rider wants to see where this goes, the bike will take him/her there and back.
    Yes it is too heavy. So is every bike that most of us can afford.

    To all the commenters no this is not a critical review, it's more of a first ride of a brand new bike during a press junket introduction. Could have been more clear but I don't really have a problem with it, there are lots of videos like this at the moment on this bike. I don't think it's even for sale yet certainly not in the US. Almost no one has a showroom production model to review yet. That said the people who have ridden it have a lot of positive things to say. For instance Noralee itchy boots has really put it through the paces. To me this potentially fills a giant hole in the market, a big bore single true ADV. Think KLR650 with most of the modern improvements that bike has needed for years, or CRF30RL with what it sorely needs, a big handful of more power. Really have my eye on this one.

    Lighter than my '22 KLR650! But I chose the KLR over the 411 Himalayn - a bike I really wanted to love. I'm very excited about this new RE 450 and want one. This is going to be a very hard decision as I am really getting comfortable with the KLR. Buy a new Himalayan 450 or upgrade suspension on the KLR - that is what keeps bouncing around in my mind.

Yes this himi have lot of digital magic in my opinion upgrade what you have save money and buy a bigger adventure. I am Not a himalayan hater because i own a himalayan. Not a lot of options available in india maybe in future My next bike would be little bit higher cc lower in weight good power

    Royal Enfield designes bikes that make sense in terms of practicality, reliability and value for money. They also look pretty cool.
    There is nothing adventurous about BMW 1250 GS, Super Tenere, Multistrada and another heavy 1000 cc+ bikes. They are too heavy to pick up when dropped, too clumsy in mud or sand, too expensive to be dropped on a rocky trail, fitted with far too many assistants and electronics.

      1) A fully adjustable suspension would most definitely push the price one or two levels up.
      2) It would definitely foil the plan of a reliable bike, able to get repair for literally everywhere.
      3) The suspension is fine. Yes, not adjustable but lots of much more expensive premium bikes do have no adjustable chassis as well.
      4) And last but not least... how many peole riding an adventure bike ever got to (re)adjust the preset configuration für suspension or other options?
      The Himalyan works fine. It is affordable, reliable and offers pretty much everything the common rider needs.

      @@jasonbourne875 i don't see how adjustable suspension impacts reliability? It is just a needle and seat to control oil flow. It's not complex at all. Most of the people i have ridden Adventure bikes with definitely adjust their suspension, particularly when moving between day rides and mult-day rides loaded up. In hot weather the rear shock fades and becomes a pogo stick when loaded right up and off road. Like I said, offer it as an option.

This is the first bike I'm even considering that has ride by wire. I can't help but wish it had the old school instrument cluster and less electronics. Other than that I'm very interested in this being my next bike. What should I be understanding about ride by wire?

      Since bikes are known projects at least a year in advance, your comment makes no sense. We know what the competition is, and there aren't "plenty of others" - only the others we know. The only new option besides this one would be CFMoto and Kove as other commentator pointed out. Yes there is more interesting in the small/medium adv bikes (finally) but "more" doesn't mean that much with the limited number of vendors and networks. Maybe Kawasaki will up the Versys 300 to the new 450 engine, but who knows? And apparently KTM announced they are canceling the 390 Adv (? even though it might be the best option in this segment ?) so that's not really more competition but less.

    I am more of an analogue fan. cause anyhow you will be mounting your phone. I think providing digital display and mirroring options are very cheap ways to increase the bike price.

      This display is unlike other I have seen personally. In most cases you need a sat-nav to compare with what maps on phones do. This display is similar to a phone mounted on your handlebar. The price is mostly increased because of upgraded forks and liquid cooled engine, which requires a lot more machining.

    • @TheCdubbleyoo
      @TheCdubbleyoo 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We moint our phones because they could provide what meters haven't. Now that more of them are, youay see fewer people mounting them or only mounting them periodically for a specific purpose. Having killed cameras and lost phones to failed mounts, I'd be happy to have display show/control phone while phone is tucked away.
      Or, as was my idea before the new displays finally started connecting to phones: do away with displays and make secure mounting point for phones, have an USBC connector from the ECU and custom app for use as a display.

      An LCD screen and a little software is actually dirt cheap (have you seen the price of a Kindle?). It is likely MORE expensive to go analog, as then you need the chrome rings, cables, etc. that no one wants to manufacture any more anyway. And the electronics can always be updated and added to, but analog cannot. I get your point, but I really don't see analog as a cheaper or better option.

    Just too slow, tall and heavy for so little bike. Honda were making 500cc single cylinder trail bikes back in 1979 that were +100lbs lighter and quicker. Is this progress?

    • @ws8080
      @ws8080 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It isn't 1979.... and not sure what you are comparing to in today's market. Honda's 500cc now are heavier than their competition. And all these bikes have to pass emissions and safety standards from multiple countries that is nothing like pre 80s. If you are comparing to a 2 cycle 1970s Yamaha DT that started this segment, than sure it was lighter and more hp - but that was yesterday and you cannot sell that bike today so get over it.

      Current Honda CB500X torque 42 NM at 6500rpm
      Himalayan 452 40 NM at 5500 RPM
      Weight CB- 199 KG
      Himalayan - 196KG
      Himalayan has more area under its torque curve as it makes 90% of its torque from 3000 RPM
      Weight nearly identical.
      You are one of those dumb guys who haven’t ridden shit but love to read spec sheets.
      I have owned 9 bikes 2 moped all from 102 CC to 1340 CC from Japanese to Indian to American all in between
      Have done more than 300000 kms or 180000 miles of different motorcycles.
      Yes new motorcycles need to weigh more in budget segment as they don’t have the option to use any expensive materials to keep cost down
      What weights more- modern exhaust systems - Evaporator systems - catalytic converters .
      Fuels delivery systems fuel injection - fuels pumps - fuel filters.
      Electronics add weight like ECM - ABS control units - and all the complex wiring that controls it with all the relays and sensors
      ABS Adds weight just because it’s has double the hydraulic lines and at least 3 times the fluid.
      ABS units also weigh a lot. ( in bike terms)
      Eg. just the ABS Module on a CBR250R weighs more than 10lbs without all the other things like more fluid lines and sensors and mounts etc.
      Electronic start systems (starter Motor +Relays + wiring + Bigger Batteries)
      Stock exhaust on CB500X weights more than 10lbs
      Now you are comparing a XL500 to these newer bikes. which made 27 to 32HP in different tunes had nothing but a tubular single spar frame and skinny forks. Drum brakes which were ineffective by today’s standards with no emissions standards and regulations to comply to you are genius and BTW no they are not faster nor comfortable than these new RE’S or Hondas new 250 ADV from Suzuki can outrun those.
