Practically speaking the Tripper is a great addition but it looks so much better on the Meteor than it does on the Himalayan where it just looks like an afterthought to me.
or buy the old model for potentially more than 10k less. spend 7k on a phone with a good screen and hard mount it for navigation via google maps or something. it'll be bigger, brighter, and more useful than that tripper display. if you wanted, it could be your dash cam too
It needed the USB charger like the one provided in Meteor. Am not sure why RE gave this necessary accessory a miss, knowing that this ride is meant for touring 😔
Only suggestion to RE is to reduce the height of head light and also explore options of square shaped headlight with USD forks (inspiration: Bulleteer Customs "Wilder")
The Royal Enfield is proving its mettle. Globally among the top 3 Adv motorcycles under the 10,000 dollar priceband, it rides alongside the likes Yamaha Tenere 700, Suzuki V Storm 650, SVM 500 etc. It is very interesting to note that Kawasaki has resurructed the KLR 650, in a Fi version in a direct pitch against the Himalayan. This motorcycles is ver y close in terms of physical dimension. The major difference is the engine. Nearly the same block, but the Kawasaki uses 100 x 83 (mm) bore and stroke with a compression ration of 9.8:1, giving it 652cc displacement. Whereas the Himalayan uses 78x 86 mm bore and stroke with 9.5:1 compression with 411cc displacement. I own a Himalayan, which I am very happy with. An upgrage would be fantastic. There is a a huge gap between 300cc and 650cc to be filled. I am sure the RE think tank is defnitely looking at this empty space. With a small increase in the engine displacement , via bore x stroke, similair to the KLR 650, another version of the bike alongside the 411CC could be a winner Ofcourse one would still like to have accessories like a USB charging point, a DC power outlet etc etc. The tripper on the new bikes are fantastic..
quick color survey : which colour would you take bs6+ 2021 model, i m confused between gravel grey and granite black . . the 9-10 k price difference is playing major part in my confusion. . please reply
Hope present windshield compatible with older himalayans. If it does than definitely gonna switch to the new one cuz I don't like that aftermarket extender thing!
I ve booked bs6 granite black, but still I feel it lacks the power,the grunt to rave on. Ktm 250 adv feels lot more powerful, check the engine specs. So I guess I am gonna wait for some more time. Is RE lagging behind in their R & D department in comparison with others,,?
Indian motorcycle manufacturers are too greedy. All the motorbikes in India are priced at least 10% more than they should be. On top of that road tax, insurance is just too much.
when is the himalayan 650 coming
Calling it Watermelon Green is more suitable than Camo Green.
Rishaad is always so crisp and clear, leaves no stone unturned.

I'm still going to wait for the bigger Himalayan, fingers crossed 🤞
If they launch a 650 at the same price as the Continental , they will absolutely destroy the competition
No nonsense and pragmatic review as always.. Autocar journalists are all gems.

A big thumbs up from Kerala...!!🔥❤️
RE price your bikes reasonably. Greed leads to ultimate destruction. Don't behave like "Apple" of the motorbike industry.
Is it reliable now ???

RE himalayan comes with a great design..they shd try some different shades
Bhai regular use k liye Himalayan thk h?? others bike k compare m,
Please update himalayan instrument cluster like fuel range and average mileage
I faced puncture in a new Himalayan.. they should use tubeless because it will run in all terrain.
Such a professional and informative video by autocar. Prefer your videos over other channels. Thank you.
Just as outstanding as the old model. Damn! I hope they release a 500cc or 650cc with a competitive price point.
Can you please reply with himalayan 650cc .....is it in their list this year or next year?
Is it a puncture-resistant tyres fuel economy at 80kmper hour speed
Autocar says Himalayan is about longer distances. Then why not a 6th gear, RE? It will improve both fuel efficiency and cruising speed on the highway.

Ofcourse one would still like to have accessories like a USB charging point, a DC power outlet etc etc. The tripper on the new bikes are fantastic..
For cars its Gavin, for bikes Rishad. Pleasure to hear you both
quick color survey : which colour would you take bs6+ 2021 model, i m confused between gravel grey and granite black . . the 9-10 k price difference is playing major part in my confusion. . please reply
I like this small capacity Himalayan. I'm 22 and it's finest beginners bike.
Which colour is better?
Why does it not have tubeless tyres ? Isn’t it important for off roading
They are not increasing the power bhp . But now is tat power bhp is okay for bs6 ???
Now improvement in power as well as they can provide a fully digital cluster
Hope present windshield compatible with older himalayans. If it does than definitely gonna switch to the new one cuz I don't like that aftermarket extender thing!
I wish re makes a Himalayan 650🥺
Smooth crusing speed?
Okay so they had a chance to make the brakes a little better; we could give that a pass. Did they solve the coneset issue tho? Or did they forget?
It's more of adventure touring motorcycle where it helps you to go over bad stretches with ease. Perfect machine for mile munching.
So precise and crisp in delivering the details...keep going Autocar👌
When is the hunter coming?
I just finished reading this on their website, and now the notification popped up
Rishaad Mody is the gem of Autocar.
Without tipper and colors,
Is anything new on this bike???
Can we Install The Meteor Navigation display on bs4 model
Thanks for the vid; what is your height?
Can a 5'4 guy can handle it comfortably ?
Would like to know the reviews about mountain trips and comparability of new Himalayan
This is my most favourite bike and it is very comfortable
I like the off-road one
Wanna know about the helmet please..
How does this compete with dominor 400 as a long tourer?
Himalayan has the best low end torque in it's segment
I ve booked bs6 granite black, but still I feel it lacks the power,the grunt to rave on. Ktm 250 adv feels lot more powerful, check the engine specs. So I guess I am gonna wait for some more time. Is RE lagging behind in their R & D department in comparison with others,,?
can you review latest pulsar 180f and 220f !!?
GS310 vs New Himalayan please.
Rishad - the "boy with bike"! 😉
Incredible machine
Best in class
Super affordable
Can you do weight test on rare top box thing, overloading it!!
Expected more power, good brakes but honestly few changes which looks aftermarket additions...10k price hike is not justified here.
why didn't they use the new engine of the meteor and the GT 650
Old Himalayan looks far better... Now I have no interest in this update bcz of that Jerry can holder design 💔
Well presented as usual...👍
What about chases durability
Hai team, can you please review new prana from svm motors.
Is that my eyes or lambo off roading in intro
Excellent review
Himalayan, you don't need any type of changes. You are just outstanding. 😍😍😍😍😍
Give a review on Kawasaki Vulcan S 2021
When I was a child, I didn't really like this Himalayan. But now, as I'm mature, I love this bike ❤️😁
Round colour display?🙄
We need a comparison of all 160 cc motorcycles
I don't know why RE don't offer a top box
Anyone know which helmet is that?
Need to replace my helmet and looking for one, it'll probably be out budget, but worth a look 😅
this boy is the best reviewer ..
why does not it get led lights
Please reply your height???
Needed allow wheel with tube less tyare
I decided not to buy the Bs6 2021himalayan because of the chassis cracking problem. Can't believe that RE has gone so low in their built quality.
Royal Enfield 🤩
Concise and info-packed.
Sorry, 24 hp just isn't enough for American riders.
That spoke wheel and tubed tyres --- Enough to avoid himalayan
My lv himalayan 😊😍😍
Indian motorcycle manufacturers are too greedy. All the motorbikes in India are priced at least 10% more than they should be.

Aesthetic on the instrument panel ugly... was expecting a bump in power... disappointed again
Cool review, cool machine 👍🏼
Nice bike
RE just spoiled a piece of Art 👎
i lost interest when you said 'mechanically same'
Onroad 2.55 Lakhs. Doesn't justify .
still missing those alloy wheels.. especially required when you're offroading.
Waiting for Benelli trk 502 review
Well done
Super
Medimix green ....
199kgs. Damn, this bike surely needs to shed some fat🙄
