Himalayan 450 - a Special Delivery | Bengaluru - Mysuru Expressway
What wheels are those. Please send the link
U did ppf/lamination?
No I haven’t done that. Considered doing initially, but after looking at the prices, decided to spend that money on petrol for rides 😁
Check average accurately. I have done 16000 kms. It gives 33 kmpl
After the second service I have started to get higher mileage, I think I got 31kmpl as the highest so far
Phat about the vibrations between 90-120 Please be honest i am trying to find this answer everywhere
I didn’t find it to be an issue or something that is annoying.
Great review. Nice video, good sound quality, with some better image stabilization it'd be really good. Solid unbiased review.
Thank you, working on it!
Great review, thanks for the pillion perspective as well.
@@daviddingnzl Thank you, glad you found this useful!
So mileage need not be great in a motorcycle meant for touring? Smart.
@@varunchopra1455 haha I understand the irony in that. Happy to report I’m getting 28-30kmpl as the mileage and a range of 320-350km between fuel stops
Hey thanks for the review and all the good information. Question regarding riding with a pillion and luggage specially on big steep hills, does it deliver good enough power? Do you get a healthy enough power delivery? Thanks in advance and gettings from Costa Rica 👋
@@paolorod Greetings! Just completed 6000km on the motorcycle. Took it on various terrains with luggage and pillion. Absolutely no problem in terms of power delivery. Tackling hills is a breeze.
Mileage
@@thiruyalanj7310 30 on highways, 26-27 in city
Can you tell a bit more about heat? You feel it is much hotter than the previous version on the legs?
@@alicenien5015 yes it gets quite hot especially in traffic or on days when the weather is on the warmer side. Definitely heats more than the 411 but to its credit, the motorcycle also cools down rapidly.
Great video, good review, keep up the good work.
Much appreciated!
RE showroom services are trash as hell. They don’t care to guide at all. Such arrogance.
Nice Adventure!
Yes it was!
Loved it Akanksha! <3
@@abhapathak3977 thanks a lot Abha, missing you ♥️
Excellent narration.very informative video. Thank u for sharing
@@archanaacharya606 thank you. Really glad that you enjoyed this video 😊
While riding seating is not much comfortable, it skipping from back to front cause lot of heat on seat
@@gangadhar_mc4477 maybe you can try changing the angle of the front seat. Under the seat, you will find the points for height adjustment. Set the front height adjuster at 845mm and the rear adjuster to 825mm. This will tilt the seat slightly towards the back which might help from slipping forwards.
@@onceuponamotorcycle I tried bro but after changing seat is not fitting,,,, I bought touring seat paying 4k
@@gangadhar_mc4477 how is the experience with touring seat. Is it comfortable?
@@onceuponamotorcycle I did one mistake , I took touring seat while taking delivery of my vehicle, I drove 1200km so far with this but I don't think so it make much difference compare to normal seat cushions r ok but I feel Skippy feeling I use to come forward it caused heating feeling on seat
Phenomenal place. Phenomenally unexpected tunnel scene.
@@aadhikyabhardwaj8330 thanks bro, glad you enjoyed the video
My memories took a rewind looking at this video. I remember u both reaching the homestay at around 8 or 9pm drenched and shivering barley able to talk but both of u smiling and not a word of complain. Real adventurer's spirit. Great job. Keep travelling
@@meerapandey7209 thank you ma'am. This is what happened before we reached you in Tawang. We were not able to complain because we were so cold haha 😆
What was the temperature like? 7° ?
@@AneeshRathi we have agreed to come to the conclusion that it was 7° 🙃
@@onceuponamotorcycle Neel, you mean you had to ageee? lol
@@aadhikyabhardwaj8330 no other choice
Ur video made me click the subscribe Button🎉❤, i was confused btvn ns400 and himlyn, u guys cleared it. As i work in defence, i need a motorcycle which can carry loads, bags and family member, so i think this will be a good one. Can i commute on it? Is it reliable? Bcoz its a one time investment
@@deepaksmarihal Hi Deepak, between the ns400 and the Himalayan, I would chose the Himi as well. I also own a Apache so I can tell you that while the ns will give you a sense of instant power, the Himi will take you and your pillion + luggage to more places without tiring you out. I am commuting on the motorcycle daily and it's an absolute hoot to ride in the city. We wish you the best for your purchase and thank you for your service to the Nation. Jai Hind!
Please specify dates of travel with the details of weather, road conditions during this time
@@NitinKulkarni2207 hello Nitin, we traveled during the last week on March, which was relatively off-season. The road conditions are really good. The road infra is well managed. At higher altitudes you will find snow. In terms of weather, it was most volatile at higher altitude with a mix of rain and snow. Many people also travel between August - Sept. However, post October - Feb it is extreme weather.
bro a suggestion for you. the lighting is flicking a lot. do a focus lock. it would help a lot.
@@vishesh000 Hi Vishesh, thanks a lot for the suggestion. We have improved the stabilization and color in the latest uploads. Always trying to improve ✌️
The look and front shocker are only positives of this bike.
Beautifully narrated.
@@sarbaniroy7015 thank you very much for always supporting us! ♥️
Hi Nilanjan and Akanksha It was great meeting u both at Tawang and listening your highly adventerous trip on bike to Tawang. These beautiful videos inspire me again to undertake a trip to arunachal which is such an amazing place. Great. Keep travelling
@@meerapandey7209 absolute pleasure to have met you and for all the interesting conversations we had. The situation we met in was truly unplanned, if you remember 😆 A lot more fun stories from this trip are in the pipeline!
I was given coffee
you people are very adventurous.
@@doijodevani thank you very much. We try to be haha
new sub here, I am about to buy first ever motorcycle. cant wait!!! , I am going with kamet white. good luck guys !
@@doctormusician8320 thanks for the sub and we wish you the best for your purchase. Ride well, take care ✌️
How was your experience with this bike? This is your first bike, right?
pls share your contact details plz. need more information to plan my itinerary.
Great place to put on the bucket list 🎋
@@sathvik912 don't make a list, just head out! ⛰️
Amazing ❤
@@janhaviacharekar really glad that you enjoyed this video 😊
Lovely 👌
@@WeekendOnWheels Really thanks for your guidance while planning this trip!
What about vibrations? And pulling to one side??
@@carlmistry haven't faced any of those
Which helmet
@@Applied_engine_er we are using the LS2 Storm 2
This is the old town road I’ll ride my horse to.
Nice !!
Thank you!
bought the same color last may...agree will everything u had to say and moreover it's a head turner. Keep riding.
@@shankyrocking92 that's awesome and congratulations on the motorcycle. Been riding it everyday and it's amazing. More videos to come
One more con is that recomended tube are not available for himalyan, so if puntured you will be getting a slightly smaller tube tyres.
@@akhil2040 yes I have heard of this and I hope RE/CEAT addresses this soon
@onceuponamotorcycle It happened to mine, but I hope they bring the cross-spoke wheels soon. 🤞
@@akhil2040 those will be game changer 💥
Cross spoke rim tubeless already launched now
It's not Payana(न), its Pa-Ya-Na(ण).
@@NaDadiga thank you for the correction 🙏
Underpowered
@@afterlife1442 don't think so because it has the same engine specs as the new Himalayan
@@onceuponamotorcycle while riding it seems like it, doesn't have same pickup and feel
Planning To Buy A Royal Enfield
@@dilrajsinghbhadouriya8846 super, which one!
😮
Bro you are X Xiaomian right?
@@vinayakbc7981 Yep!
As an Iron-Man fan I would go with the red and gold.
Spiderman crying in the corner 😢
Good one. Take it for a test ride in your next video 😉
That's the plan!
Are Bhai Hindi mein karo Hindi mein
Sorry no Hindi
Aap English seekh lo. Wo bhi ho sakta hau na?
Happy with the English bro.❤ Even people from down south can understand
Thank you for the unbiased review. Looking forward to more ride videos .
@@trisomsahu3919 thank you for your appreciation. I'm trying to upload one video every week, so do stay tuned!
Very informative n good review. Next time try using tripod for better video stabilisation
@@hikkepikke745 thank you very much! Yes, shall work on the video stabilization bit
You can’t talk about your purchase experience as a general negative issue. Complain directly to RE but don’t put it out there as if it were a Royal Enfield problem. It’s not kosher to generalize these things. Aside from that, good review.
@@Oldman.Roaming Hello 👋 thanks for your feedback and I'm glad to know you liked the video. Regarding the experience with RE, I did lodge an official complaint as well but didn't get any resolution beyond an acknowledgement on email. Also, the issue was more of a dealership niggle than a brand issue, but RE is in the position of changing the overall experience, if it wants to. Most reviews on RUclips don't talk about the purchase experience, and we mostly get to see this on riding forums. I wanted to change that.
Almost all RE showrooms are like this only. Today I went to buy/book 450 but came empty handed because of showroom people were forcing me to buy 20k+Rs accesories alongside the bike!
@@rounak1619 that's really unfortunate. Hope you find a showroom which is better and book the motorcycle.
@@onceuponamotorcycle yes tomorrow I'll try other showrooms hope I'll find good one
@@rounak1619 no one forces people to buy anything mate. You purchase what you want and can pay for. It’s their job to sell you everything they can but it’s up to you if you pay for it or not… So you did not buy/book the 450 just because they were trying to sell you accessories for the bike “you wanted?” Don’t quite understand…
