Sairaj Budarapu , no not the suzuki, they have a dedicated bike for test rides. 2years ago, i did the test drive of that bike and it is still there giving test rides to others.
My best friend have a Himalayan and we've done a lot of off roading as well as touring and till now he haven't faced any issue. Bdw I've ridden Himalayan and yes it does feel under powered..
Thank you Raj for your feeling about this bike. I'm living in France and i never forget to look all your vidéos !!! It's your own fault if i have by a Royal Enfield Bullet Standard and now i'm an happy driver !! Thanks a lot !
Probably the best video after Ladakh Ride Raj!!! Wow so much information! Please continue at this pace and you'll be the best Indian Moto Vlogger soon!
Good morning, Sir. Big fan. I'm a newbie and have little or no experience of geared motorcycles. I've used scooties, that too sparingly. I'm on the look out for my first bike and have narrowed it down to Bullet Electra 350 and The Himalayan EFI BS4. Given by your reviews, I'm 90% sure I'll get the Himalayan as I commute more or less 80-90 kms daily. I love to travel and i'd love to use my machine for inter-state rides in the future and maybe some off-roading too, once I get more experienced. My question is that does the lack of ABS affect the performance of The Himalayan and should I wait for RE to launch an ABS version of the same as the Transport Ministry has directed manufacturers to install ABS in all vehicles from April 2018 onwards? Sorry for the long post. I hope you understand a first-timer's dilemma. Love your informative style, Sir. Keep riding. 🤘
In the year 2018 having a bike without ABS is a crime. RE never think or give any importance to their customers regarding safety, build quality, comfort and convenience. They are only busy in selling without any service quality. They treat othe markets differently than India. In today's scenario Himalayan is available in UK only with ABS and good build quality without any extra price compare to the BS3 version. RE treats Indians as fools and they know how to convert indian emotions into revenue. RE don't bother about customer feedback in india. RE the luckiest bike manufacturer in the world. Wish you earn more by doing or caring for nothing. A simple tubeless tyre may be the long waiting dream for poor Indian rider but RE should get all the bells and whistles in their bank accounts and crown.
For spoked wheels, what is the best precaution to be taken while touring to avoid a flat tyre... other than dragging tje bike to a puncture repair...or getting it fixed by self...
Bro.. you have an amazing sense. Claps for it 👏 Thank you for the informative review. I really appreciate it. I have booked himalayan bs4 with ABS one. Totally understood this machine well in advance.. BiG big thumps up for you. Enjoy Just 1 question, I hope I am the 1st one to ask you for it. From where you got that t-shirt with a man riding a Himalayan. ??? Please tell me that.
yes, there is a system called tube bliss which acts as a 360 degree rim lock allows tubeless tires and able to ride normally on completely flat tire available from Rocky Mountain ATV
I sold my thunderbird 500 ... and looking forward for himalayan, i need a bike for city purpose and touring ..... and also i heard that from april 2018 ABS will be a norm, should i wait till then or just go for it?
Himalayn's headlight do not move with the handle... so how much does it affect when riding in the night on highways or on tours? Appreciate your help....
Dear Raj, A question!!! I'm an owner of Classic 350 for the last 3years and I've done close to 30,000kms. But as I'm 6ft1', I'm feeling back and shoulder pain due to the ergonomics of the bike; May I upgrade to Himalayan in the perspective of comfort? Another question, how different is the fuel economy of Himalayan compared to Classic 350? Thank You Raj.
question, given low horsepower but decent torque at modest revs, how does it do on steep highways? speed limit in new Zealand only 100k.p.h, but many fairly steep hills and lots of big trucks on the road do you think it can keep safely ahead of trucks with 100kg rider?
I would like to ask two quick question. 1. Does this EFI version gets hot near the engine area.I heard it from a friend. 2. If I have to buy between Himalayan vs Standard 500 where maximum ride happens in Bangalore city traffic and bad patch roads with an average of 25 km per day distance which would you suggest. I am 6.4 feet tall?
good review . I was deciding on buying my first bike so till now i am confused between himalayan and dominar which will be a better option or anyother suggestions
Hello Raj, I don't know why my TH-cam is crashing evrytime I play this video. Can you please guide if electrical defects of bs3 are now rectified... Charging problem
Hi bro, I have a classic 350 with me. I wish to buy another RE and booked a stealth black 500. Now I’m bit confused on which model should i buy, a Himalayan or the Classic stealth black 500. Hope you will help to pick one. Waiting for your reply.
I have already booked a gunmetal grey.. is there any issues with the gunmetal grey?. I heard that in april 2018 ABS is compulsary,so i should cancel the booking and wait more to get an ABS bike??
Nice to hear a positive review on the bike after a very long time Mr. Raj. I reside in Bangalore and own a 1984 standard. I am a travel passionate and am since a long time inclined to go for this new breed of RE. I have been searching for a review on the comfort to ride being a short rider. I am 5.6' and wonder if this bike is too tall for me. Please help me get this doubt clarified. looking forward for your reply.
Bro m using classic 350 since 4 yrs. now m going to buy Himalayan 410 abs version... what’s about maintenance? Tyres life, sprocket life, and mileage ???
1. Are RE still selling BS3 version overseas? 2. Is ignition issue in BS3/BS4 resolved? 3. Can I expect reliability and durability from this bike to pass it to generations to come? 4. What would be the maintenance and operational cost for a rider who tour once or twice in a year? 5. Would you suggest this for home-office-home purpose (traveling 20-30 km daily)?
Raj Good morning. I have planned buying a RE and from past few days I have watched over 200 videos about Himalayan, classic, TB , standard and I'm totally confused on which one to buy and also about 350 & 500 which one to go. Can u please assist me on it. I'm about 6 feet tall and slim guy Coming to my usage my daily travel is 50kms - 65kms with a hell lot of traffic ( I stay in Hyderabad) and would tour or go long once in 2-3 months about 200kms long. I like to have single seat. And I test drived all of the bikes and feel Himalayan is comfortable and has good pickup and less vibrations but hard very hard in traffic and so please can u help me out soon asap.

Nirmal Raj ya maybe
Sairaj Budarapu , no not the suzuki, they have a dedicated bike for test rides. 2years ago, i did the test drive of that bike and it is still there giving test rides to others.

Bro we can expect EFI in classic 350 in April 2018 when ABS is mandatory
Dude you are lucky you bought it when you wanted, for me wait for a year before my savings allow me to get this great bike.
I got my Himalayan. Having loads of fun, Trip on..
Himalayan is my next bike. ABS is going to be mandatory from next April so real wheel locking problem will be resolved too.....
Ashish Kushwaha what do you mean by abs is mandatory???

Nilanjan Pradhan
Thats 100% true brother
I think you should put it in Twitter as well, and tag RE CEO of India. Maybe then they will consider your valid points.
In Europe it costs nearly 5000$, so there is one explanation of the differnces, also it will be delivered with Pirelli tyres.
Respect from kerala 💗💗✌️
1:53 smooth to maintain?😹😹
raj Bhaijan bandeki bat hazam nahi hui..

For spoked wheels, what is the best precaution to be taken while touring to avoid a flat tyre... other than dragging tje bike to a puncture repair...or getting it fixed by self...
I like the honesty here. :)
I like Himalayan but bad parts is one major issue....any tyre upgrades for better off road traction??

I am more kind of tourer not a off roader. Anyway to make Himalayan a tubeless tyre bike.
yes, there is a system called tube bliss which acts as a 360 degree rim lock allows tubeless tires and able to ride normally on completely flat tire available from Rocky Mountain ATV

Will it get abs as an option??? Cuz I see there are provisions for abs unit near the front and rear discs..
Himalayn's headlight do not move with the handle... so how much does it affect when riding in the night on highways or on tours?

Dear Raj,
A question!!! I'm an owner of Classic 350 for the last 3years and I've done close to 30,000kms. But as I'm 6ft1', I'm feeling back and shoulder pain due to the ergonomics of the bike; May I upgrade to Himalayan in the perspective of comfort? Another question, how different is the fuel economy of Himalayan compared to Classic 350? Thank You Raj.
How about the clutch?
question, given low horsepower but decent torque at modest revs, how does it do on steep highways?
speed limit in new Zealand only 100k.p.h, but many fairly steep hills and lots of big trucks on the road do you think it can keep safely ahead of trucks with 100kg rider?
Roy Cspary lose 20kgs and you will be ok.
Can we cruise at a higher speeds while touring on a highway???
How is pillion seat...how far pillion can travel on this bike
Is the seating is comfortable for long trip?
I would like to ask two quick question.
1. Does this EFI version gets hot near the engine area.I heard it from a friend.
2. If I have to buy between Himalayan vs Standard 500 where maximum ride happens in Bangalore city traffic and bad patch roads with an average of 25 km per day distance which would you suggest. I am 6.4 feet tall?
Will you update your gt to new 650 ??
