Very nice review! And the police dude was really nice. He seemed like an enthusiast himself! And you sold them bikes for the whole department!😅 In all, this is a very candid upgrade over the ageing existing Himalayan! Great work Royal Enfield!
9:37 Yeah, that 805mm is the solution for short people. I will be very angry if it's an additional accessory and not an optional one as against the 825mm standard seat.
Good to see an experienced rider who considers the seat height as a real thing, most experienced riders say that the seat height isn't really a big deal when you know how to drive a tall motorcycle but I beg to differ in that, having your foot on the ground or at least a half of it does give you that confidence of balance and that can never be overgrown by knowing how to ride a taller motorcycle. Will be head over heels in love with this bike if the rally edition seat setup is somewhat close to the 805 mm seat height.
"the seat height isn't really a big deal when you know how to drive a tall motorcycle" - This is a lie mostly told by biased bike reviewers who maintain "good relationship" with bike makers for vested interests.
Couldn’t agree more. I’m 5 11, have good experience in riding if not great, but I would never want to try 845 mm seat. Will see for 825 or else definitely 805 mm. You won’t be riding your bike always with riding boots that have extra heels. The goal is to get comfortable and have confidence in the bike with minimum footwear
I do agree with you and your perspective but in India traffic and short people are a real thing. Having a tall seat height is great for off road and touring. Here we do not have the roads to enjoy a long cruise especially on a daily basis. It's a lot of crawling in traffic and a very different driving/riding pattern than other countries.
@raj_2001 I agree with you as well. Motorcycles are a bit like clothes when it comes to size. Those of us on the outside of average, whether tall or small, suffer to find a good fit. City riding on a too small bike is also quite difficult. Shifter and brake are at the wrong angle and our knees interfere with steering and the tank.
For some people in the comments saying "some bikes should only be for tall people". This doesn't benefit the manufacturer from a profit standpoint as most people are simply not tall most are average or shorter. The average man worldwide average is only 5' 7' the average women is only 5' 2''when you factor in the entire world population . If we take those figures into consideration that means only 5% of the male population is 6ft or taller less then 1% for women. It benefits Motorcycle manufacturers to sell as many bikes as they can in as many markets as they can. Tall people deserve to have bikes that fit them too but understand you are the minority in regards to the overall market.
Just from a maths standpoint, I think this needs to be seen from the perspective of not the entire world population average, but the target market average, i.e. off-road enthusiasts. While I do do feel that having it shorter would allow for a larger chunk of people being comfortable with at least trying to off-road. Being a really short guy myself, I only ever learnt how to ride an avenger, and I would love to move to some other bike but the height factor worries me thus limiting my experiences to cruisers, maybe soneday being able to upgrade only to meteor.
I liked the different perspective you gave.. nice you dod not harp on technology. I am planning to buy this for my daughter ( as well as a second bike option for me).
Thanks for the review, I am a quite lightweight guy and not so tall, so I check out how the girls judge the new Himalayan :D Your review definitely answers some questions I had. I will check out the bike as soon as it arrives to Germany, I love the black/yellow edition.
I think now RE had done something with their machines. They had done something good. Hope it'll be continued and more updates we will see from their side
I am 5ft2inch , and I feel till 5ft5inch inseams are mostly same for all people. Hence will face similar problems with the 825 seat height on uneven terrain and that bike weight. On flat terrain its all ok. Next is the thighs, the fatter or muscular they are, it will reduce inseam, though will have strength to lug around the weight at crawl speed. Slender thighs like yours will have an advantage and bulk thighs like mine...... 805mm optional seat seems like the right kind of deal.
Excellent review! miss the previous Himalaya unique speedometer. should have a digital-analog combination for that retro feel factor. exhaust pipe could be placed a bit higher - bike need to cross river/flooded road. the combined rear light + indicator may be a bit difficult to clear regulations in some markets.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the New Himalayan 450, Infact you have inspired me to explore more with an Adventure bike even I'm also a 5.5" guy. I am a bike enthusiast and love to ride and have a dream to explore The Himalayas, but I don’t want to take risks of damaging my 1st Gen KARIZMA R, now you have provoked me to go for an Adventure bike like Himalayan 450, its really damm good. Thanks a lot !
all they had to do was to make the headlight and the speedometer cluster a little bigger and rectangular i can assure it people will think of it as the brother of bmw gsa 1250
Great review. I love the look of the new bike and will be very interested to ride it. I have the 411 and love it. I hear what you are saying about the seat height, but I always thought the seat was a little too low for me on the original bike, but I am 5’11”. At least there is a lower option on the new bike for all the short of leg 😊.
No doubt its an awsm machine and u also look gorgeous with this beast...after seeing this machine i am planning to sell out my 500 cc claasic Royal enfield and experience the ride of this beast😅😅😅...
I really enjoyed your review, and I love the fact that Royal Enfield rolled this new bike out, literally in the Himalayan mountains. Your comments on the height are understandable but given this is an adventure, bike comes with a territory. I guess you could always put a lower seat option on there? Looking forward to seeing some on the roads here in the USA 🇺🇸
Fr I was so scared to buy this after falling in love , I’m 5’8 , I was like bruh she’s 5’5 imma be good , plus just get some bike boots add like 1/2 inches
Estou esperando a Royal Enfield trazer está moto para o Brasil ,mas será que tem um bom custo benefício e se é confiável ,digo em relação ao motor e se as revisões serão caras ?
You never made a video with Yesdi!!!! Why I don't know!!! My question is here comparing to adventure only less than 10km/hr it's speed is Top , second weight is more comparatively, third headlight never turn full now also, fourth ₹60000 more for base model, and fifth every rider says telescopic shocks are more comfortable to off-road, yes only one advantage is it has 40Nm Torque but due to weight it may be 36Nm. So hope from you that do perfect deal in between segment if it's price is higher please explain the reason
As far as I have heard I guess the seat is adjustable... but I don't know is it already set to minimum or there is a room to adjust it further low. Hope this help you in some way.
Hello!! Thank you for the amazing video. One question....All the issues you had with the seat height was when you were riding a 825mm one or a 805mm one?
Ma'am please do a review about the comfortability of the 805 mm seat option. I'm 5'6" with needs of 300+ km riding(Highway & broken patches) every weekend plus daily commute in city traffic for office. Seriously considering the Himalayan. Your insights would be of great help. Thanking you in advance!!
Not a fan of new Himalayan Design, I wish if Enfield kept it little bit more sharper or boxier like the original Himalayan, The front round light makes it squished and disproportionate. Looks very dated actually. Confused overall design language and I am sure RE will try to work on the next version soon.
I agree with you. They should have maintained and kept the Himalayan fuel tank boxier design as it is so iconic and should make it a Himalayan standard-design just like the iconic LR Defender legendary boxy design. Now every car manufacturer wants to copy it.....unfortunately LR made a mistake by making their new Defender rounder but i bet you they will go back to their basic original boxy design soon. Anyway RE is known for its iconic classic design and it works....no need to join the bandwagon and copy other bike manufacturer as RE is already known for its own unique design.
@@LordKarma101 RE should learn from the New Toyota Land Cruiser and FORD Bronco Design language and should've kept the Himalayan look more rugged and contemporary.
What is your height ? And what's the minimum height where a person would feel comfortable riding this bike where they are having atleast half a foot grounded?
I guess keeping the bike on first gear and reving it till red line is not a good idea. You are a experienced rider at least I thought soo, mistakes like this is not acceptable from your end.
I have a small question i.e., normally in bikes we see that if petrol becomes low then we will keep the bike in reserve mode, is there the same kind of thing in Himalayan 450
Definitely Not for short people I've tried My height 165 cm I can ride But my legs are useless when parking 😂 Especially diagonal parking Flat parking surface no issue
Battery drain is an issue for sure, but re have placed a USB charger so connect the charger keep the phone in your pocket or tank bag and enjoy ride, a Fully bright screen with a phone mount will actually consume more battery, this is more efficient and safe + there is no need use it all the time
@@mysteriousmystic3350 That is exactly why it defies the purpose. The whole idea of wireless screen cast and mirroring is to get rid of wires. If we need to still keep the phones connected using a wire somehow the the plug and play cast would have worked better using simultaneous charging. In mobility The use case of wireless screen cast only works for cars. I have seen the charging in pocket or bag with wires attached to bike scenarios on trails. The day you fall which you are bound to on trails the wire poses a serious threat of bruising you or if you are lucky tearing your bag or jacket. The ideal setup as I said would be to have a 7-8 inch enclosure on the tank with a lid to keep your phone secure and then route a wire to the dash internally that charges the phone and casts on screen simultaneously.
The bike offers you 2 options -825mm and 845mm both of which I found tall. The 805 seat was more ideal but that’s an optional one which has to be bought separately
Very nice review!

Vielen Dank für das interessant gestaltete und gut gemachte Video in dieser wunderschönen Landschaft. 👍👍
I was expecting to be side spoke tubeless tire other than that look awesome.
RE should offer adjustable suspension and tubeless spoke wheels in India.
This bike will be a complete package
Soooo beautiful bike!!!! Do you think it is beginner friendly? Any vibrations or heat from the engine? Thanx :)
There is one legend in biking world these days - Noraly from Itchyboots
What helmet are you wearing? It perfectly matches witht the Himalayan!
Just ordered ....black/gold with tubeless wheels 🇬🇧

No

There is an 805 mm option as well I believe in terms of seat height
Himalayan bikes never disappoint you .
Thanks for the review. Looks like a fun bike to ride.
Nice video review.
Keep sharing information.
Thanks from Portugal
Nice review. You said tru fact about bike that bike is very heavy and tall no other reviewer is telling this…
Nice one and great work 👏 . May I know which helmet model you use.
AX-9 from AGV
I can feel you when you said I am 5 5 and half because I have the same height and people be like 😂

We know it is heavy, but is the weight wel distribuated ?
Everything looks good but the only thing which sets it back is the pathetic service centres. 😢
805 mm seats has less cushion? It might not be as comfortable as the original seat?

How much seat height difference from old Himalayan. Planning to upgrade. My height is 6'2
