The guy at 15:05 was spot on with the Indian pronunciation, far better than what I expected from a non-native. We don't really use accented syllables in Hindi. FYI, Him in Hindi means snow. Alaya means abode. Hindi often compresses two or more words into a single word to convey information in a succinct manner. Himalaya literally means "home of snow", an allusion to its towering heights in a geographically tropical land.
Now that is how you test a bike. Well done. Also kudos to the RE guy who told you to not to go crazy crazy because the recovery van was not there at the moment. 🤣
Ik ging kapot stuk toen je in zijn 3 flat out een mega jump maakte en die motor afraffelt en die gast naar je toe komt met "hey, dat is mijn motor man" 😂😅
Same thing happened to me! Had decided to get a scrambler 400x. Waited for my dealer to get a Himalayan450 (their advice). Took the RE on a back to back ride with a friend and a 4oox. After that I could not buy the 400x. Himalayan was just too much fun! Put a tubeless version in my driveway! Love the crazy bike! The best way I can describe it is friendly! Great video!
Somehow you can on my feed and wouldn't lie this the best bike testing video I have seen so far. Awesome guy you are...keep smiling and keep going crazy ✌️
@@LifeofSmokey I drove it today and its not for me. I like the looks, the feel and the price but stepping from a F700gs thats nearly 10 years old to this its to big of a downgrade. The point is, I am looking for a daily bike to drive and longer distances and a sporty bike. Then I saw the V4 Grand Tour...fuck
I’d like everyone from North America to use this as the “please, RE” button. There is a glaring hole in the NA market that this bike drops absolutely perfectly into. Royal Enfield, please 🙏🏼
First of all, the Himalayan's major purpose is for off-road riding. For an adventure, off road capability bike who needs cruise control 😅, atleast I don't mind whether it has cruise control or not I would love to connect with the bike at each and every revs. The Ride-by-wire helps a lot while taking the bike from your home to the office roading location, it does make sense...
Oh man! This is more than just moto vlogging. The cheer you feel and share is what makes it so different 🥳. Can't wait for my own Himalayan. Shall come to me in a few weeks 😅. Namaste from India. 🙏
So thats how far it flew, whew 😂 Nice i know now, wonderful edit btw and its definitely one of the best review for the bike out there, you simply tested it and it speaks much more than any spec sheet would have done. A bit envious of the ride and the place, looked so much fun! Also, the horn sounds indian? Dude, Explain haha 😅
I’m just back from a 5 day ride in Uttarakhand with a pillion and I can tell you that the bike is a beast , the local taxi drivers couldn’t catch me on mountains . (Taxi drivers have quite an image for being fast drivers in the mountains as they’re locals and know the terrains very well )
The lack of traction control is sort of surprising with the ride by wire setup and riding modes as well. You say 40bhp isn't much but if you have knobby tyres you don't always have a lot of traction on wet roads! Great review though, good to see someone testing the bike in weird and wonderful ways.
Hey thx man! Yes I try to test bikes in weird ways , way most journalists don't think off. But agree , a knobby tires even with 40hp on a wet road can be dangerous indeed.
i swear to god im always shopping for a new vehicle at the worst time. still not ETA for north america and i need a bike upgrade NOW unless I want to pay for ubers for the next 3-4 months until they show up here in the states. seriously im about to put my hand through my wall here im so pissed off about the timing of me needing a bike right now. god i hate life right now. great bike, i probably wont get one and want to jump off a bridge once i see them on the road here in 6 months. thanks for the review. I hate everything right now so much right now over the timing though. shit like this makes me hate living.
Ich habe mir vor 2 Tagen auch eine gekauft, in Kamet white. Ich habe eine Probefahrt gemacht, bin dann in den Laden wieder rein und hab dem Herrn gesagt, bitte eine Kamet White "Eintüten". Nun bekomm ich eine in ca. 2 Wochen. Gruß und gutes Video
Goew bezig Smokey-man. Niet vergeten HymAlayan .. niet HymalAyan .. dju toch die Kempense tongverstuikingen zijn lastig :) wel fonetisch mooi.. Rock on Smokey-man.
You made me laugh tbrough out the video 😂😂😂😂 thank you!! Did you pinch the other man's bike...hilarious 😂😂😂. I think you were behind username kate on the ride. Well you've got a new follower 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I came here for a review and stayed for entertainment. At some point I forgot about the bike and had fun watching this vlog. This video is a gem.
Appreciate that my man! ❤️🙏
As an Indian, I can confirm the horn does sound Indian🤙🏽
Hahaha…😅 yeah you are right..😂
Indian don't get offended easily
It's a serious adventure bike. Cost-effective to purchase and operate. And it looks so good. Ty Smokey!
Most importantly it's a very versatile bike.

This is dope

Dude was a legend! The whole RE crew was amazing to spend 3 days with.
I'm still laughing for what happend at 20:20 😂😂😂
"You want to do a wheelie?"
Don't go crazy crazy....

Man, 16:16 these drone shots are insane
Barong_fpv on Instagram 😎.
Christopher!?!! The production quality of the video is awesome!!! Really appreciate your efforts and the review. RE should be thrilled! Great bike!
One of the best motorcycle reviews I've ever seen.
Me when reading this comment 👁️👄👁️
Seems you got the best air off that jump out of all the journalists in Sardinia :-)
Also, good work with the music and editing!
As far as I'm told by the crew , I overjumped all other journalists 😅🙈
I like how he used someone else bike - "by accident". ;)
very nice backroads @ 21:20 made me chuckle hahah
You think I did this on purpose for the male audience 😄
@@LifeofSmokey * surprised pikachu *
My man living his life and also making us part of it😊
Loved the review mate...specially the drone shots, they were awesome!
Incredible Smokey! I love your off the wall ways! Thank you for making me laugh!!!
Beautiful cinematics... Nice sound engineering(no unwanted background music)... and on top, a guy who is in love with the bike...

Great video!
Created your own cruise control by hanging your feet on the crash bars. Well done.😅
Looks sweet. Black and gold would be my choice.
Premium.
If you haven't seen em in person pick cream colour one that looks very good
Hanle Blacks golden Wheels r tubeless
Drone shots killed it 🔥🔥🔥
Love it - Again with realy good humor, you are my favorite motorcycle journalist and you made an OK jump when you were allowed 💪
Man!!! Loved this Video. Editing quality of the video is awesome!. Also I love RE Himalayan 450.
As an owner of this bike, and having ridden 2 stroke Suzukis and everything since then, this is the best choice for a single bike garage 👍
Oooh! That jump!!
Great job! It was a pleasure !Thank you 💪🔱
Best video on himalayan 452 . Everything is spot on ❤❤❤ 🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for the day to see you riding a Himalayan in the Himalayas
Somehow you can on my feed and wouldn't lie this the best bike testing video I have seen so far. Awesome guy you are...keep smiling and keep going crazy ✌️
I'm looking at buying one of these bikes and I can say this video has been the most entertaining video I've watched about the Himalayan!
That was one hell of a jump! Great video! The Himalayan seems to be a pretty good bike.
Amazing drone shots buddy…😮
👍👍👍
That INTRO 🤩🔥
Very nice video! Well put together with a lot of fun! I am booking a proefrit (😂) very soon. Thanks for the video and a great jump 🙏
Groeten uit NL
You will be amazed by how smooth and easy this bike rides 😁

Nice edit Smokey ;-)
Thanks 😁 Spend 8 hours on it lol
What about seat? Is it comfortable!!?
No pain what so ever after riding it all day , it's very comfy!

It was really fun... Almost feels like I am riding right beside you.. great job man 👍
This man can put smile on any depressed face.❤ Beautiful place
Was laughing and smiling throughout the whole video. Thanks buddy. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
I think the Himalaya and 650s delivers on the Royal enfield’s philosophy, even more than before of affordable yet capable❤
Love this bike, may be some day I will get it for sure. ❤
The simplicity of the electronics and design of this bike I ❤.
man you enjoy every moment too much.. damn you are a actually happy person in life.
Am upgrading from 411 to 452 in 10 days
Your video background soundtrack made it even more appealing 😮
Ur the Smokey go Crazyyyy…love ur watching ur videos…crazy editing and fun watching it…love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you so much 😁
1:52 Liquid sunshine! 😂
Great video! The content on this was was enjoyable to watch and you can tell the RE guys were a blast to hang out with. PS - Nice jump :)
Awesome, thank you! 😁

COOL CONTENT BRO , keep going
Oh man! This is more than just moto vlogging. The cheer you feel and share is what makes it so different 🥳. Can't wait for my own Himalayan. Shall come to me in a few weeks 😅. Namaste from India. 🙏

Amazing camera works and some fine skills good watch
This guy is out having fun!, review is just the by product.
Those casually inserted fotos are insanely good.
So thats how far it flew, whew 😂
Nice i know now, wonderful edit btw and its definitely one of the best review for the bike out there, you simply tested it and it speaks much more than any spec sheet would have done.
A bit envious of the ride and the place, looked so much fun!
Also, the horn sounds indian? Dude, Explain haha 😅
My Ducati RS video for example that horn sounds like a Fiat 500 Italian horn. This one sounds like all the horns in India traffic. It's so typical 😅
@@LifeofSmokey well at least you will know when you have a RE on the tail 😅 📯
Love it. Thx for the review 😊
21:22 Very nice corner... yeah right..😂😂
👁️🫦👁️
@@LifeofSmokey 😂😂😂
I will have one in my garage by the end of May - whoop whoop!!
21:20 i know what’s you talking about 😂
😅😅😅 That's some bumpy back roads there
That horn is indeed Indian 😂 Loved your review ❤
Nice video with off road driving😊
Great video 👍👍
8:35 bro casually roasting us
In a good way no worries , I have to many Indian friends who love this 😄
Hey dude i just like your vibe while you was riding, you just awesome ✌️
Love from India
24:42 ngl that shot looked like a bollywood scene 😂
I had the same feeling when I was editing 😂
God damn, the drone shots were insane.

27:09 "if you wanna go for long distance the ambulance is in the back"
Great review Smokey boy. I just need to go back to your review of the ktm390 adventure (lighter bike) to decide which to get😁😆
The drone shots 🤤❤️
You made me laugh tbrough out the video 😂😂😂😂 thank you!! Did you pinch the other man's bike...hilarious 😂😂😂. I think you were behind username kate on the ride. Well you've got a new follower 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad you enjoyed it 😁
That Indian cringe joke on horn was 😂😂😂
You are different breed motovloger 👍👍
You are very loco, saludos desde México,
Good energy mate
Smokey rode that Indian hard
The guy was correct! It's Himaaaa...layan! 😄
The guy is from Royal Enfield itself...so would be a shame if he was wrong 😁
Who the hell needs a Cruise-Control on a Motorcycle ? The Himalayan doesn't have one. Well done RE !
I'm also turning 40 this year 😊
