Hey I checked again, if you look at 1:28, then there is no space between the headlight and the windshield. So I'm not sure how will that go up as it seems at its lowest setting.
Excellent observations my friend, I think there is a chance those rear passenger pegs may be removable for the first time on an RE, via a Triumph type hidden bolt in the back of the peg shaft. Check them out again and see what you think?
@@SrinivasGanesh I am not talking about the foot rests, I am talking about the footrest brackets which are all welded in place on every single model and are a danger to your leg if you drop the bike off-road
Extra tall bore over the std 650 motor doesn't necessarily mean a 750cc. It could also mean RE has a new long stroke 650 motor with gobbs of torque for the given CC capacity just the like the original 411 style tractor engine, except in a twin. I say this because one of the constant comments of the new 450 motor is that people miss the tractor nature of the old engine given the revy nature of the new motor.
@@SrinivasGanesh with a non learner/open class engine RE is going to put a scare into the big boys. Triumph in particular should be very worried. There will some interesting conversations going on in the Triumph boardroom.
I'd just hope they offer an adjustable front forks on the Him 450. This bike (750 or 850) will easily be 220+ kgs. After having ridden extensively in the Himalayas, I have decided to never go beyond 200 kgs and as light as possible. I don't enjoy riding on a highway so these big capacity bikes don't interest me. I am waiting for KTM 390 adv to be released to decide between it and the Him 450. Also depends on ktm's future.
I really don't think this engine configuration is the best for an Offroad spec motorcycle. Roadster - Yes, Highway Cruiser - Sure Yes. Too heavy for an offroader.
Hello SG wishing you a happy and prosperous new year. Recently i saw the rate of break pads for 450 and its pretty much expensive. Is there an alternate break pads available for 452 ?? And when to change the brake pad ??
Change them when they are just before showing signs of completely wearing out. A lot of companies are there that offed the brake pads. Versah is nice. Brembo is good however tad bit expensive. And original RE pads are also very nice and capable. Honestly one doesn’t need to go for aftermarket if they don’t want to. RE products are equally good.
Before they launched the Guerilla 450, how many months before leading up to it did we see spy shots? Asking cause trying to assess when this may launch. I was looking to buy the HImalayan 450 on March, but I guess I may hold off for now.
Yes this bike has adjustable forks but it also has the mechanism on the front fork for measuring compression. Having adjustable forks allows the test riders to quickly change settings in situations where, say they are riding several times over the same road. It does not mean that the final production version will have adjustable forks once the factories idea of optimal settings is achieved. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the BMW style pannier mounting rails under the pillion seat. No more panner frames just "factory" special mounts that will limit choice of panniers and push up accessory prices. You can tell from the valves that the wheels fitted are tube type. I think that is a mistake on a bike like this in 2025/26. We are past the days of tube tyres on mid size or larger road biased bikes.
@RichardReeve_K1W1 First part may be true, I did mention that RE is currently running some tests on this bike. Second part: Yes this does look very interesting! Apologies that I missed it. Third part: Yes tubeless wheels don't make sense indeed, which is why I believe that they will sell tube type, as those are cheaper, and later on once the bike is launched, they will introduce tubeless spoked wheels as a separate accessory. Like they have done with the New Himalayan recently and now the 350 Goan Classic.
You can make it 1000cc too. Unless RE figures out premium customers targeted services, big bikes will never sell. KTM faced the same now RE will face it too. Mechanics deadline with hunter woll service this bike and the kind of service such as prioritising, customer care support, warehousing or storing support is the same. This will never allow RE to play premium game as it’s evident now that RE is moving higher for premium margins.
@ taking into account everybody does brother, but the question is implementation and I don’t see it anywhere. At least I hoped there could be testing ground for it in someplace but sadly it’s nowhere in news

It's 850cc big boy not 750 they'll never gonna test theses product so long just to raise 100cc 850 adventure motor cycle already shown in royal Enfield concept
Yes while 850 might be there however there ate quite a lot of rules and restrictions in place. Plus RE has always been a brand for the masses. If given a choice to produce motorcycles which a common man can buy and produce a handful of bikes which can cater to those people that can afford a litre class then it would always choose the former as it has been doing that.
If its not at least 300hp no one will ride it and can't weigh over 100lbs and got to have factory tubeless and that sensor when someone doesn't know there leaning the bike over to far it does the sensor thing and im sure there's at least 105 more thing if it does not have from factory people going to have to go to a safe room . Just looking out for our new generation coming up. Since I started out on a 1975 yamaha enduro 100 I should qualify for some input .
The windshield is adjustable and the mechanism is very Triumph like. Don’t know why people aren’t talking about it 2:03
Oh Really? I think I missed it somehow! Damn.
But thank you for this information!

It is an 750cc engine. Confirmed news
A very handful of people miss that, agreed, however a brand like RE will cater to the masses over a select few. That just has been their track record.

Aftermarket companies like YSS/ ohlins will be making them for sure. Just a matter of time.

Totally agree, thank you for sharing and commenting!
This looks so much heavier than the himalayan 450, i'm not sure if it'll be a overall upgrade over it, could be better for touring
Yep it will be touring specific
Reminds me of a Norden but in a good way :p
Amazing!! 🤩
My only concern would be the weight, else looks like a very capable machine
@@sanjak13 It might be as heavy as the current Bear 650. I can only speculate.
There will be a royal enfield for everyone's taste... as long as you enjoy the weight.

It was launched on July 17 2024. And spy shots came on December 31st 2024.
Do you think it'd be one of those long-stroke twins?
I can only guess that they might be.
The front tyre doesn’t look like a 21, I think it’s a 19 but why RE :/
Did I mention 21? I think I said 19 only. 🫣
But we already have 21 on the Himalayan 450.
BMW GS has a 19.. it gets by just fine.
Looks like this year Motoverse will see a much higher attendance 😁
I agree! 😜

Hey SG, any idea on the launch of Classic 650?
Maybe first half of 2025. It is almost ready from what we saw in ICMA 2024

Cool
