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" 😂😅
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. 🤣
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...
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
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 😅
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
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 )
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.
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.
The DNA of the new bike is the super long stroke of the new engine. The new 450 has the longest stroke of any other 450 ever made. Modern singles use super short strokes. The 450 Himalayan has a ridiculously shaky long stroke engine which gives it super low end immense torque.
Goew bezig Smokey-man. Niet vergeten HymAlayan .. niet HymalAyan .. dju toch die Kempense tongverstuikingen zijn lastig :) wel fonetisch mooi.. Rock on Smokey-man.
As an Indian, I can confirm the horn does sound Indian🤙🏽
Hahaha…😅 yeah you are right..😂
Indian don't get offended easily
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! ❤️🙏
I'm still laughing for what happend at 20:20 😂😂😂
"You want to do a wheelie?"
Don't go crazy crazy....

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.
One of the best motorcycle reviews I've ever seen.
Me when reading this comment 👁️👄👁️
Christopher!?!! The production quality of the video is awesome!!! Really appreciate your efforts and the review. RE should be thrilled! Great bike!
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". ;)
My man living his life and also making us part of it😊
Great job! It was a pleasure !Thank you 💪🔱

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!
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 👍
Created your own cruise control by hanging your feet on the crash bars. Well done.😅

Am upgrading from 411 to 452 in 10 days
Your video background soundtrack made it even more appealing 😮
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 🔥🔥🔥
Incredible Smokey! I love your off the wall ways! Thank you for making me laugh!!!
Best video on himalayan 452 . Everything is spot on ❤❤❤ 🔥🔥🔥
Man!!! Loved this Video. Editing quality of the video is awesome!. Also I love RE Himalayan 450.
very nice backroads @ 21:20 made me chuckle hahah
You think I did this on purpose for the male audience 😄
@@LifeofSmokey * surprised pikachu *
Love it - Again with realy good humor, you are my favorite motorcycle journalist and you made an OK jump when you were allowed 💪
Can't wait for the day to see you riding a Himalayan in the Himalayas
I think the Himalaya and 650s delivers on the Royal enfield’s philosophy, even more than before of affordable yet capable❤
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 ✌️
That was one hell of a jump! Great video! The Himalayan seems to be a pretty good bike.
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 😁
@@LifeofSmokey donderdag gepland ben benieuwd 😊

Nice edit Smokey ;-)

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 😅 📯
You are killing it 🔥🙌 another awesome video
Amazing drone shots buddy…😮
👍👍👍

It was really fun... Almost feels like I am riding right beside you.. great job man 👍
The simplicity of the electronics and design of this bike I ❤.
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! 😁
What about seat? Is it comfortable!!?
No pain what so ever after riding it all day , it's very comfy!
Him + Alaya = Himalaya
Him = Snow / Ice
Alaya = Layer / Sheet
Himalayan = From Himalayas. ♥️ 15:06
Those casually inserted fotos are insanely good.
Was laughing and smiling throughout the whole video. Thanks buddy. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it 😎
24:42 ngl that shot looked like a bollywood scene 😂
I had the same feeling when I was editing 😂

One of the best and detailed motorcycle review ❤❤❤.. that jumb 24:40 was 🔥 🤌🏼 Himalayan always 🔥

Ur the Smokey go Crazyyyy…love ur watching ur videos…crazy editing and fun watching it…love from Malaysia 🇲🇾
Thank you so much 😁

27:09 "if you wanna go for long distance the ambulance is in the back"

Great job Uncle Smokey 🎉🔥

Great review Smokey boy. I just need to go back to your review of the ktm390 adventure (lighter bike) to decide which to get😁😆
That Indian cringe joke on horn was 😂😂😂
You are different breed motovloger 👍👍
I need you to review every bike in the world. Laughing my AO all the way through.
Thanks bud! 😂👌
Your best video. Perfecto ❤❤❤
Love From India Assam ❤❤
Royal Enfield is an emotion in India but if you can check out some other Indian brands too I am sure India will leave you speech less
Really want one after watching this review 😎👌
Oh man that was a "chumneswary" jump!
Hey dude i just like your vibe while you was riding, you just awesome ✌️
Perfect editing.
Subbed for the intro song..... Hooked with the vibe 🫡
Companies like Enfield and Mahindra are the brand ambassadors of India
Lucky guy, riding with some sweet ladies.
That jump 😮
Entertaining & informative.👍
