While my riding in Central Pennsylvania is nothing like Colorado, it has its fair share of challenges for my 2022 Himalayan. Lots of dirt, gravel, mud, water, and rocks. The only limiting factor is my aging body and the risks I'm prepared to take. Like you, I have no regrets getting the Himalayan. I sold a BMW K75 that I loved but it was big, heavy, and couldn't support my desire to explore the mountain paths and roads. I enjoyed listening and watching your comments and reviews of the bike. Thanks for sharing it.
Hey Steve! Thanks for the comments. Totally with you on the body keeping up with the desires to ride...but, were not gonna mention ages! My brother lives in Kennett Square. Pennsylvania is a beautiful state with many more great places within a day's ride outside of it as well. Going east is a goal one of these days for sure. There is always another adventure to look forward to. Thanks for the encouragement and participation. See you around!
I just bought this bike Friday from MotoAuthority in ABQ. I spent most of this morning putting the original parts back on. I would love to know what happened to the headlamp guard brackets and all the dust caps.
In India, the most common speed limit is 70 kmph for two wheelers, that's close to 44mph. So I don't think RE was taking into account selling this thing abroad while designing the engine back in 2015-17. The success Himalayan had abroad was quite a shock to everyone. The newer 450 Himalyan in the works should have a more efficient engine that produces more power, torque, top speed and a six speed gearbox. That would solve the issue Americans are having on the highways. Also what the heck is Harley doing with these big engines? A 1L or 1.5L engine even on cars produce at least 125HP and 150NM torque. And they are pushing around tons compared to a small bike. Is there a reason why those Harley engines are so weak in comparison to their size? Even the 650 twins from Interceptor and Continental GT produce similar power figures despite being just 650cc. So much weight and unnecessary fuel burn for that classic sound or look? I'm glad people are realising this.
I totally agree, Alex! The design is relative. It’s really close to working perfectly. There are no issues off-road at all, however. That truly is why I got it and it does very well there. As for the Harley. I loved it. Very nostalgic for me. Just got so I wasn’t really riding it. And now, I get to explore off-road. More fun and fewer other vehicles. Thanks for the comments!
I also own a Himalayan and live in central Colorado at about the same elevation as you. I switched to a 14 tooth front sprocket and can still run 65 but it climbs the passes easier. It also gears the bike down slightly when riding challenging mountain Jeep roads.
That’s awesome Roger! It’s on a very long list of things to tinker with. If central is Arkansas River Valley, I’ll be there this summer for sure. Thanks for the endorsement of the mod! See ya around
You are correct. I live in Salida right in the heart of the Arkansas Valley. The area between where you and I live could be explored for years on adventure bikes. We bought our Himalayan in Durango in 2021 for my wife due to the low seat height and approachability. I find the bike as much fun to ride as my DR650 and often choose to ride it myself. The low center of gravity makes it easy to ride. I also installed the FuelX Pro and am looking forward to hearing about your future performance enhancement plans.
@@rogerhilbig3423 that’s my happy place. My brother worked at Noah’s Ark for 12 years. It’s the best place for everything in Colorado. In my humble but accurate opinion 😉!
Great video. In order to improve hills on the road try changing the front sprocket. Going down a tooth will help high gear climb (lower ratio). Going up a tooth will incerease 4th gear speed, that may make 65mph comfortable in 4th. Front sprockets are cheap. I switch sprockets on my Benelli tnt135 to suit the ride. I ride the Green Mtns, Berkshires and Adirondacks. Have fun!
Thanks for that Kevin! I have a checklist of things to try that I am working through and that one is on there. I appreciate the endorsement of it! The gears are wide and 65 mph is not quite at peak powerband for 5th and a bit too close to redline in 4th. In my brain, slightly lower gearing would place 5 th in the sweet spot. A hotter cam may fix it as it is and even give the ability to increase the sprocket and have better cruising speeds. That’s all IF my brain is thinking straight. It’s a fine balance. One day I will ride on the east coast. I want to go it fall for the colors. We have aspens which are awesome, but your area is a completely different beauty. Thanks again!
A good thorough evaluation.. I have bikes that don't get enough use and a wrangler that has minimal miles on it. Living remote means you bought it you got it.. but my fav go to bike is the Himmi by a country mile.
Hey Carol. Thanks for that! Thanks for sitting through the imbalanced music. We have a wrangler as well. All tools to facilitate fun. Totally agree with the Himalayan being the funnest! Thanks for watching and commenting. Be safe and see you around!
We have a 2023 Scram 411 and buying one more for the wife. We have a few Harley’s, my wife rides a Harley XG750 setup and a flat track bike as well as a GXSR600. I have several Harley’s. She rode my Scram and I can’t keep here off it. The Scram 411 We respectfully call it the Turd. It’s not fast not responsive but it’s a Tractor off road and a blast to lane split on the California Roadways. I have removed over 30 pounds off of mine and installed a Delkevic 8” Carbon pipe like my Flat Track Harley’s as well as the DNA Air Cleaner It’s a little more responsive and hope they do the 650 like the new Himalayan. They are fun bikes if your not in a hurry. I will look into the cam and big bore kit once it’s accessible here in the states
It was almost a coin toss on the Himalayan and scram. But the bit more trail oriented Himalayan won out. I have a delkevic in my garage and just ordered the cam today. Air breather already done. Tinkering for the winter months. My wife doesn’t ride. Yet. She will ride with me and alone on dirt but no roads. Maybe a scram would be perfect for her…never know.
I can totally agree with you about the weight of the Himalayan, I bought one in October and it feels like a small dirt bike compared to my street bike. Ride safe
Thanks for the vote on that! My intention is to wear it out in Silverton/Ouray this summer. I can't wait till the snow is gone, but I know we need it badly. Thanks!
That's a great image I have to say🧸 love it. Just a heads up, I also added the fuel x pro last night for fuel management. I have only ridden up and down the road, but so far its seems amazing. That review will come out on Tuesday. So, check back in! (or, subscribe😉) Thanks!

Great bike. Hey judging by the comments you either get it or you don't. The himalayan is a great bike and yes although it isn't the fastest bike- if you buy one for power you bought it for the wrong reason. Truly brings me back to the roots of riding and for 5k... can't really complain
@@swcoloradoadventures of course! I also live in colorado and think its a great bike for this area. Nice and cheap too so when it gets dropped or beat up on it doesnt hurt too much. loved the video thank you!

I like your comment that the way to make it more manageable is to ride a Harley first. I’ve got a Yamaha FJR1300 and a Moto Guzzi V9 Bobber. To be honest with my age and health issues the Yamaha is probably too big and heavy for me now, but after a period of riding it the Guzzi feels like a pushbike!
Absolutely Ricky! Love the Moto Guzzis. I stared long and hard at the V85 before I got this bike. I’m glad I got the ugly duckling though. After having dropped it I would have been way more upset if it was the V85. And, with age comes the wisdom to just enjoy the ride. Not all about the biggest and baddest! Thanks!

@@swcoloradoadventures I've owned lots of bikes, but currently tour around South America on a Yamaha MT10. I get your "entry level" thing, but I am a tall guy like you and it's more about height and riding position than price. You need to try a big boy adventure bike instead of that Royal Enfield which is sized for a 5' 9" 160 pound rider. If price is an issue, look for a used Multistrada or KTM Adventure. You can get a nice one under $10K
@@luisdetomaso867 awesome! Enjoy the tour! Much better weather for riding than here. High today 48 degrees Fahrenheit and snow on the passes and at elevation.
I have a 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan. Most infuriating piece of garbage I've ever owned. Battery is always dead...endless battery replacements. You can't do highway speeds without redlining the engine. Almost no one sells them or services them. Big disappointment. Buy something...anything...else.
Haha! You are the first person to notice! 😆I keep meaning to reset the one on the dash, I just forget. That is all. I bought this just before snow season begins up here and am trying to get as much riding in before it really hits. Guess it just hasn't been top of mind. Good eye!

I get your "entry level" thing, but I am a tall guy like you and it's more about height and riding position than price. You need to try a big boy adventure bike instead of that Royal Enfield which is sized for a 5' 9" 160 pound rider. If price is an issue, look for a used Multistrada or KTM Adventure. You can get a nice one under $10K
@@luisdetomaso867 awesome! Enjoy the tour! Much better weather for riding than here. High today 48 degrees Fahrenheit and snow on the passes and at elevation.
look at the size of his fingers!!
Hey Tapas! Its true! My boss used to just laugh at me when he saw me texting and wondered how it even worked. Have a great day!
I have a 2020 Royal Enfield Himalayan. Most infuriating piece of garbage I've ever owned. Battery is always dead...endless battery replacements. You can't do highway speeds without redlining the engine. Almost no one sells them or services them. Big disappointment. Buy something...anything...else.
Sorry to hear about your experiences
why the two clocks dont match? 9:38 vs 1:16?
Haha! You are the first person to notice! 😆I keep meaning to reset the one on the dash, I just forget. That is all. I bought this just before snow season begins up here and am trying to get as much riding in before it really hits. Guess it just hasn't been top of mind. Good eye!
Not enough power to climb a paved highway. Makes the couple shekkels you saved taste bitter i bet.
Thanks for watching!
