That is a really good idea. I was also wondering if there😢 was any extension that could be added. Thank you for another fab video

I had vango pulsar200.

I bought the reactive outdoor 3 second tent. However, I think the tent you purchased is better. I have found it easier than my tent with poles, etc.

I have always used rok straps. I am the owner of a Triumph tiger sport 660, called Tigger. I have done quite a few camping trips. Bunnies also scratch your bike. I use velcro straps round my room straps when I am not using them. In other words, when I am storing them. It is useful to have small ones I found. I am about to book a test ride on the Himalayan 450, hopefully for my holiday .

Thankyou for the very nice presentation in such a rainy weather.stay safe my friend!

Hey mate, looking at doing a similar thing myself. Likely will use a trailer as makes the internal conversion a bit simpler with a fixed bed and will use the van for work. I’m looking either a transit L2H3 or L3H3. only thing to watch out for with them is wet belt system. But I guess any van would work, mwb crafter, relay etc. just depends on if it’s your only vehicle and parking in your area etc. good luck with the build. Sorry to bring bad news but from what I’ve seen you’ll have a hard time finding a euro 6 van that’s done 120k or less for £5/6k, vans have gone up a lot in value it seems and if you want something that’s not knocked about you might have to add a few quid. I’ve been looking for something around 70k miles or so and euro 6 (live next to CAZ zone) and it’s looking more like £11-15k 😢😅

Loctite on the bolts, they're poor quality aluminium. If you don't want to lose it... Just for security. 😇

Great stuff, always interesting to see places you know well through the eyes of others, few things in life better than a bike trip with old mates! Cheers.

These look really good, fed up with bungees, old hat and potentially very dangerous! Enjoying your videos, thanks for sharing with us, cheers.

I use bungees , as you know. I have been hit in my face, and it hurts .They can be dangerous though. After watching your vid it's time I changed Mick. Thank you for posting this vid

Mick , getting a van and kitting is a great idea . It makes sense.

I am surprised people still use old type bungees. I changed to Ron Straps after a stray bungee hook smashed my glasses. Could have been much worse. I have acquired a mix of thin and thick Rok Straps, the thinner used on bicycles and for smaller bags on a motorcycle. They may seem expensive but work really well and last over a decade without any stretching. Spare ones also store easily in a small ziplock bag under the saddle for emergency carry.

Thanks for the great video... I have done pretty much the same mods but did them all on the same week that I got the bike. I've been riding off road for a fair while and have had a CRF250l for just over a year so knew exactly what I needed. I agree with your ethos, get what suits you. Many people out there spending £1k + on suspension, but for the riding I do, YSS fits perfectly and at a good Price. Keep up the good work with the vids 👍

Brilliant video, well done! We need more of this stuff on You Tube - Normal folk reviewing the budget options with easy to follow and understand how to. Do you have a link for those foot pegs please?

Great video, gave ya a sub. Dont forget There are a few different sizes as far as width and length. For those that dont know. I use a thinner, smaller ones as a second piece of mind, w the traditional buckel type strat as these can also work loose at the buckel/clips.

Thanks for the advice - have ordered that sidestand enlarger - should be fitted for the Royal Enfield rideout on 22nd sept

Is the bike the tubeless version?

Thats what I use..work really well👍

With respect to tyres, I've just ordered a set of Anlas Capra X 50/50 tyres. A friend has been running them on his Tuareg and rates them, so I figured I'd give them a try. The Ceats are fine on the road but on the trails just won't cut it in the mud.

agree on bungee cords they are a mess to deal with when tangled up and quite dangerous with those hooks. I have myself moved to straps and they just work beautifully with luggage bags.

Do you have a link of the product. Please provide us.

Have you the links fir the accessories you have purchased? Many thanks

Hello, I find these tires to be the best street-legal option; however, there are some discussions about the tire size. Some people have mentioned that the Trackers 110/100/18 size is closer to 140mm in width. I would like to purchase Michelin Trackers for my Surron Ultra Bee, but anything close to 140mm is just too wide. Could you please measure the width from knob to knob at the widest points? You would help me a lot.

Thought my 500 Hornet was good at 70 mpg…90 is amazing👍

Thank you for your reply to my previous comment. I have just watched your recent video, and thank you for helping me to make my mind up. I am only 5:8ft tall, but I have a 33 inside leg. I can flat foot my Tigger (Triumph Tiger sport 660) . The only problem I have with Tigger is that he has no centre stand. I would like to travel abroad, and I think a bike like the Himalayan 450 ticks all the boxes, and like you say, it's versatile. Enjoy your bike, and I look forward to watching the updates and adventures you have in mind.

Looks really good that, I have one coming today, same as yours but the pro, don’t think there’s a difference in them apart from mounting options, your video was two months ago, how do you rate it now bud?

Nice and convenient solution for better seating 👍🏼

I enjoyed your review, I get the impression that you are tall. It sounded like a really honest review. I have been considering purchasing the black and gold one. I currently have a Triumph Tiger sport 660. Which I intend to keep. However, the Himalayan 450 has a centre stand.

Great video Mick. Love the bike and glad you like it . Fantastic mate. Was a great day out . Loved the train bit. With Casey Jones..ha ha

Have you noticed the rattle at 5k revs?

Hey man, do you think it could be a good beginner bike? I don’t really plan to go off road with it to be honest. I mainly want it for its reliability and its price.

Test riders in the states are not getting anywhere near that mileage. 50-55 MPGallon's here. The 411 is around 65-68 MPG 🤔🤔🤔

Any bike needs to be sufficiently heavy to enable it to steady in poor weather conditions and not get blown around by the wind or by buffeting from a vehicle slipstream say when overtaking a bigrig truck and trailer. I recommend you fit engine guards and a pair of driving / fog lights as well

I've had mine for about three months. Its brilliant in every way. Good review.

Enjoyed your video. I am an owner and over 2,000 miles so far and don’t have any seat vibration issues. Over 6,000 rpm the engine is unbelievably smooth and a joy. The handling, comfort, acceleration and fuel economy are a perfect blend. I have had and have more powerful bikes but for a do it all, every day machine, affordable with a fun factor this is hard to beat. In black with the gold wheels it is a looker too. Look forward to you next trip.

Very useful, mate. Many thanks... 👍

Hi, nice video. Can I ask is it just one spring you changed in the front shock and how do you decide which front shock to change the spring.I dont own the bike yet but looking at changing out the front suspension like you have. I am around 105kg without kit so unsure if the 85-105kg set up you ran at the rear will be correct. Thanks and atb for the weekend.

Just wondering Mick, and not wanting to start the Premium v Supermarket fuel debate what are you running on? 1st couple tanks i put in pre service were Supermarket & I too got 90+mpg. Since service Im trying Premium to see if there is a difference. Only trying it as i read in the owners handbook to use Premium if possible

There isn’t a bad bike on the market today. Some are inspiring, others blah.

I picked mine up today and put nearly 300km on it. Absolutely loved it. BUt as I was with pals with have bikes with way higher cc than my new 450. THey did say it will struggle if we tour or go motocamping once loaded with gear. Can you tell me if this is true or rubbush please. I love the bike so far but am now worried it will struggle once packed up with gear.

I am waiting for my first service, booked when I took delivery 8th august but first space in workshop was the 20th sept; that 4000 rpm is 50mph and then it is more miles at 6000rpm to 1243 miles so with 220 miles covered so far I am glad to have a second bike. Would not wish to excede the 311 miles and have any warranty disclaimer! Not worth the gamble to go past the first service and although I have oils/filter and tools, torque wrench etc it is impossible to get past the RE schedules within warranty. Good to see an honest review and am very happy with my new Himalayan. Only 'issue' so far - mine is the Hanle Black tubeless and both wheels have long valve stems (will get them changed when new tyres are fitted) and the spokes obstruct both my battery pressure gauges, having to use the old back-up pencil type device to check pressure. If that is all I can find different in 3 weeks compared to my bmw R1200 I think this RE is a bargain. Showing 99.9 running in so that 90mpg is very achievable. RUNNING IN PERIOD The Royal Enfield motorcycle as you would be experiencing is capable of consistent high speeds. However as with any new motorcycle, a “RUNNING-IN PERIOD” procedure is essential to help in proper “Bedding-in” of the various mov- ing parts in your motorcycle and to achieve optimum per- formance like gear shifting subsequently. 1. Do not exceed maximum specified pay load. 2. Warm up the engine for a few minutes at idling speed to allow engine oil to lubricate all the moving parts in the engine before riding the motorcycle. 3. Avoid full throttle operation and do not ride at constant throttle continuously. Vary the speed by 10% while riding. 4. Ride at proper speed and avoid sudden accelerations and braking. 5. Avoid riding motorcycle continuously for over an hour, it is recommended to take brief stop. NOTE The below table indicates the recommended engine speed in rpm for optimum performance of the engine. Distance Covered Max. Engine Speed 0 to 500 km (0 to 311 miles) 4000 rpm 501 to 2000 km (311 to 1243 miles) 6000 rpm

Merci pour le partage, superbes images et très bon commentaires qui me font plaisir j'attends mon Himalayan 450 elle devrait arriver le mois prochain, je suis très impatient. Encore merci et à bientôt. Grand ✌️de la Haute Savoie en France

I Have just done over a 1000, it does come alive, love it to bits, can you share the Suffolk roads that are mentioned in the magazine, thanks. great video thanks for sharing, and I'm with you about pound for pound for bikes as like you I have ridden many a bike, love this one and keeps my smile on my face.

I'm wondering if a lot of the vibrations are caused by not running the bike in properly. You see the journalists take out a brand new 450 and rag it!!

Hi. I commented about the 1200 mark when the bike seemed to come alive, glad you are experiencing that change too. I am now onto 2800 and I have to say, it just keeps getting better. One thing I didn’t know was the quick way to reset the trip. Toggle left to get trip on TFT then hold toggle left for a few seconds. Maybe you all know this already… 🙄

I've just fitted a Carpuride (same as your one) to my Tiger 800. Replaced the Tom Tom Go. I even used the same ball joint from the Tom Tom. Pretty much the same as the Tom Tom one is provided as well. Cheap (200 or so) , easy to fit. Links to my Phone and intercom. Full Aundroid Auto and all the benefits, and looks great.

Lovely job. Do you mind me asking, what's the make of your tank bag?

It was great, you would think it was a 650cc . Also it does move quick too . Never missed a beat

I'd like to explore the Carpuride but it seems unless you have a BMW there is no quick release?

Nice bike I liked it too and I want to make the purchase but I am not fully decided yet because of two incidents of frame failure. Did you experience any problems with the stability and the construction quality of the frame ? Thank you for your time !!
