Legal ver vcs falando português, estou no Brasil, comprei uma Himalayan hoje, sou descendente de protugueses...lindo país, bons ventos pra vcs de motoca...vamos assistindo daqui....até mais
I have one of the early Himalayan's to make it here to the US. Love it. Put a couple thousand miles on it in 3 months. I think honestly, without adding a bunch of aftermarket stuff, it just works out of the box. I'm adding a couple LED lights down low to assist seeing offroad in the dark, but having the ability to have the panniers for storage, I even use it for getting groceries. I keep rain gear in one along with a jacket in case it gets cool out at night and a few necessities like some water etc. I'm getting a set of locking rotopacks on the front racks, so I can hook 4 extra gallons of gas on there securely and that doubles my range offroad. I think the 250 is great for close in riding, but for any distance involved adventure, the Himalayan knocks it out of the part. Check out KarmaKaze Moto's ride from Seattle, Washington to Eagle River, Alaska. 2800 miles epic trip. ;)
Yeah! The Himalayan is a really cool bike! If you’re doing long tarmac stretches, I think it’s better then the Rally, but of on the other hand you’re doing mostly off road, I rather be on the Rally. Planing on a 5.000k Off Road trip through Greece and the Balkans and I’ll definitely be on the Rally! Cheers! ; )~
Check out the channel called itchy boots, that's a woman from Holland who is currently riding around the world on her Himalayan, that's what got me interested in this bike. So far it's so new here in the states that none are on the usual used site's, I can't afford a new one .
@@monchofure Ótimo vídeo! Enfoque diferentes do lugar comum da maioria dos canais de motos que temos no Brasil (incluindo o meu, é claro...hehehe). Abração!
Hey I just wanted to say, this video was so well filmed, created, and you held my attention the whole 23:49 minutes. Thanks for doing this comparison- these bikes really deserved this. I’m still a pro R.E fan, pure on the retro looks and cheaper price point. Looking forward to more of Your content ! Keep up the awesome work
Love it! This comparison is just what we’ve all missed. Actually the Himalayan would’ve been my first option if it was available in Norway. Now I’m glad I went for the Rally anyway seeing how it performs for me. Cool review, and excellent editing! Thanks!
Great video! I'm not into either of these bikes, but you entertained me from start to finish. Two guys enjoying two wheels with a smile! Loved the little historical twist, loved the music, loved the enthusiasm. Well done!
Great review, i did myself a test drive to R.E. Himalayan, and i agree with you in many aspects of the bike. That's a fun bike! Can't wait for the next review!
Thanks! Yeah, it is a very fun bike indeed! This is our first review ever... we already have one more in the can... and over time, we will start rolling more of these, more often. Until now we've been dedicated to covering mototouring events. Cheers! ; )~
Inspiring video and definitely this video will cruise me enough to go and book Himalayan ASAP. Occasional off-roaders and regular city roads n rough roads.... Himalayan is the choice. Thanks for posting this video. Cheers to all riders.
This is one of the most interesting and most catching motorcycle videos ever! It is so well presented and the historical background was very interesting indeed! I'm selling the GS now and get a Rally!! Seriously!
So sorry for the ultra late reply… 🙈 I have no idea why I didn’t see this comment before, nor why RUclips is showing to me now… 🤷♂️ Thank you so much for the kind words! Cheers!! ; )~
Great video! Nice break from all the UK and Spain videos. I love seeing more of our world and Portugal stands right there with the rest. Beautiful country! Looking at these two bikes this year, hard decision. Peace!
What a great review with really nice editing and useful content. Both of these bikes interest me and it’s nice to find someone that calls each bike for what it really is and how it was intended. Subscribed and best regards
Cheers mate! Thank you for the kind words! I’ve been specializing in motorcycle event coverage, but I’ll be gradually shifting more into reviews, next year! ; )~
Sucha a wonderful video. Thanks for those beauty views and your best opinions about this bikes!!! I really love it more than the common motorbiking press reviews wich are not so clear. Muito obrigado!!! Greetings from Spain.
Thanks guys, great video ! I've been riding my Himalayan to work every day and having fun at the weekends too. With or without luggage, unless you're trying to go fast or up long, steep hills, it seems to make virtually no difference to the performance. I might say it's even more stable on road with the panniers. In fact, it's behaving so well that I'm planning a round Europe trip later this year. Keep it up, guys.
Um bom canal de um português. Faz um tempo que vejo, nos canais brasileiros, visitas dos portugueses e é bom poder retribuir isso assistindo um canal de Portugal. Abraços!
Gostei muito do video, obrigado por partilhar. Sem menosprezar os outros vloggers portugueses mas foi bom não ouvir aquele ãããã.... ãããã a cada 10 segundos enquanto pensam nas palavras seguintes 😂😂
Have had the 250 Rally for since 2017 and it is bullet proof. Light, easy to maneuver, goes well over back roads and trail, but here in Canada we have some big country to cover and the 250 on the highway can be challenging. Pluses and minuses for everything I suppose. Good review. Beautiful country.
Agree 100%! It is not a highway bike... you can survive some highway, but not really enjoy it... unfortunately, there are not many options for a bike that does off road and tarmac as well as the little Rally does... A CRF 500x Rally would be the dream! Only 9kg difference between engines... but a bike like that would disrupt Honda’s lineup sales, big time... so... I don’t have a lot of hopes of seeing one... We might see a CRF 450L Rally... but that engine makes no sense in an adventure bike... Cheers! ; )~
The Honda and the Himalayan have about equal HP so what is your point??? 400 CC no good for highway either??? Ya know you don't have to run at 80 MPH all the time on the road...65 will suffice nicely and both bikes can maintain that easily. My XT 225 can even do that. Both U guys shouldn't even own small bikes if you have to ride at warp speed all the time...buy one of those huge heavy worthle$$ off road adventure tanks if you want to go fast. Leave the true dual sport bikes to the guys that enjoy them and appreciate them for what they are!!!
Nice work, and needed to be done. 👍 So the takeaway... Rally for trails and rippin' around the backcountry, and Himalayan for street and adventure touring. Am I following your review correctly?
Thanks! This is our first shootout, or even review, ever! So, I guess people still don’t know this channel... We’ve been focused on events and trips, but we’ll be doing a lot more of these in the future! Cheers! ; )~
Excellent video guys! And it helped me learn a bit more Portuguese :) Planning to buy a CRF250L this year, mainly for off road riding around Castelo do Bode.
Hi, thanks for such an entertaining video. Seeing u make fast turns on the wet roads and still feel confident makes me wonder, what tires are u running on that CRF of yours?
Thanks mate!!! Light is right!!! There’s way more and better riding then this in Portugal!! Check out these videos! ruclips.net/video/jrIa7fSFTnE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cWufST4Ykvk/видео.html Cheers! ; )~
Excellent review. The RE Himalayan will be my next bike, to join the other stable mates. It's the true KISS bike (Keep It Simple Stupid) go anywhere, do anything bike, with no frills.For sure a great work-horse or a perfect mule, as you wish. I would say, it's the Land Rover Defender on two wheels...
You better take a look how "simple" that bike is on different motovlogers channels. Cause after theirs reviews I reconsider to buy one of them. Paint just wears off, plastics gets fragile and snaps off. Half of the bolts missing washers from the factory and they need constant retightening. So yeah, just make a homework before buying and then learn a drill to tighten all bolts once a while
@@yannikoloff7659 yeah it's kind of rustic.. bit of locktite on those bolts and add some washers etc. Apparently the export BE4 is much better than previous models, and it's such a basic bike that it's not that hard to maintain yourself
Great review, absolutely in love with the Himalayan which is more dual-sport than the 250 Rally, once I'll have finished university and maybe after having found a work, surely I will start thinking of buying it. By the way, great english man, understood literally everything and the pronounciation is very good, good job :D
I recently purchased the Rally, the Himalayan was the only other bike I was seriously considering. Each have definitely got advantages over the other. I think if the Himalayan had a six speed I would have got that instead, its seat, seat height with slightly better position topped with that chugging long stroke was really tempting.
@@RadRaven I have found that english seems to be the universal language. You can have five people, from five different countries, and if english is their second language, they can communicate reasonably well. By having subtitles, you expand your audience. I like that you have both, this way I can learn a little Portuguese. 😁
¡¡Enhorabuena!!. He visto vuestro vídeo y es una maravilla. Estoy justamente pensando en una de estas dos motos. Enamorado de ambas. Un saludo y muchas gracias!. ¡Suscrito a vuestro canal!
Mesmo depois de 1 ano, deixas-me a pensar num brinquedo destes para aventuras fora de estrada.. a Ténere rebenta comigo mesmo muito rápido, e preciso de algo mais leve e divertido pra fazer braaaapppps no mato heheheh grande abraço companheiro!
@@RadRaven ainda não há preço para osto pois não? A rally realmente so com 153Klg deve ser como andar de bicicleta hehehehe comparado com a besta da Teneré..
3:42 Indian here 🤙🏽 . What do you mean by that statement!!! I got that same problem with many bikes 🏍, It’s all about design... and seriously i do feel very uncomfortable with these kind of tanks but some people are ,, I don’t know! very comfortable with this look and design ..
@arj I’m sorry… we meant no disrespect! 🙏🙏🙏 I really had trouble fitting on the bike and we came to a rushed conclusion, but with no racism intent whatsoever! My apologies if I offended you! 🙏🙏🙏
Nice vid, thanks! I'm personally swapping from an 800 cc, 200 kg GS to Rally. Major reasons being I never use the power in the GS and secondly I feel much more confident with about 40 kg less weight! Weight is something important, especially for small people like me. I fall sometimes because I ride a bit "brave" sometimes. And I prefer it with a Rally over GS.
É mesmo isto que eu quero. Excelente vídeo! Ainda por cima sou de Torres Vedras e tenho isto tudo para explorar. Agora só falta juntar dinheiro para a carta, equipamento e para a R.E.H. haha mais um par de aninhos que agora o dinheiro está a desviado para o pequenote que ainda só tem mês e meio quase.
Thumbs up for a great review Guys.Owning a 1150 GSA and looking at a smaller bike to do a lap of Oz soon I'm seriously looking at the Himalayan. After test riding one for a couple of hours it dawned on me that the Himalayan is a "mini" 1150 GSA. A "mini" all rounder. Perfect for leisurely exploring the back roads my home ( Australia ).
As soon as you leave tarmac, I can only see advantages on these lighter bikes!!! I have no doubt you will have a blast!!! Taking from my experience, coming from an Africa Twin myself, the only thing you’ll wonder is: why didn’t I think of this sooner?! Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven Spot on. I've already done extensive touring on my wife's "adventurised" XT250 and touring small is much more relaxing and enjoyable. It gives you time to look around and the ability to check out that gnarly sidetrack that you wouldn't take the big girl down lol. The 250 Rally was also on my list but the only drawback for me is the small tank size for a country the size of Australia with often hundreds of kms between fuel stops in the outback. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
So, you definitely know what I’m going on about! But many folks are still trapped in the big trail conundrum... hahaha! There’s a larger tank for the Rally by IMS... and it’s lighter then the original! Planing on grabbing one for mine. Add a rotopax on top of that, and the world is your oyster! Hahaha! But the Himalayan also has it’s charm!!! And it’s an awesome bike!!! Enjoy your trip outback! Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven For sure. Everyone needs to try it but as you know you have to go in with the right mindset and enjoy the experience and stay off the highways. I'll see if I can get a ride on Rally for comparison as it seems like a great bike with lots of accessories available. Yours looks well set up mate.
Great Surprise, I was looking for some info about the "CRF 250 L / Rally " and i catch this great video with this review and was just amazing, the RE it's not my kind of bike, but I was very, very surprised with the good performance off-road, I was thinking that RE was more limited, but is not bad at all. In 2009, I bought a Yamaha xtz 660 Tenere and was my favorite bike ever, since i sold it in 2016 I got different bikes but i never got one like it. I think that will try the lightweight Honda CRF 250 Rally for my adventures, it's good enough for my basic skills. Um abraço e continuação de bom trabalho, é sempre bom ver trabalho de qualidade feito em Portugal.
Please drop both bikes and see which one comes out with less damage. I hope the CRF250L as it's supposed to be a much more offroad-oriented bike! I think everyone would love some true offroad videos as well! (Sand, dirt, very uneven terrain at both low and high speeds).
I just found your channel. Great content and this is just what I was looking for. Do you think there's a massive difference to the results of you replace the CRF 250 with the new CRF 300 Rallye? Loved those roads near Lisbon. Must come and ride them!
Good to know you found us and you liked the content. I believe the 300s are a step in the right direction and there are definitely more differences then meet the eye! Cheers! ; )~
I've been looking at the CB500X, but now starting to lean towards the CRF250 Rally. Exploring the countryside in New Zealand is perfect for it. What is the music you used in the video? Thanks for producing a superb review on these bikes.
The Himalayan does liven up quite a bit more when you unplug the evap unit on the sump guard and of course you've got the power commander to add and with some more off-road suited tyres I bet the Himalayan would give the Honda a run for it's money as it was designed and built to cross the Himalayas...and that's friggin gnarly..I wouldn't want to do that on a 250 Honda ..I'm lucky enough to have both Honda and royal Enfield... what you do get with the Enfield is a great utilitarian bike that will carry a shed load of stuff safely from AtoB and it's proven it's worth time and time again.. I love both bikes , and yeah I use my Honda for single track and my Enfield for touring ...but the Enfield will do both . great vid.
They both do both! I’m touring off road with my CRF 250 Rally! On road I like something with a little bit more engine. With that said, I loved the Himalayan! And stated that over and over on the video! Lucky you that owns both! Cheers! ; )~
Ainda só consegui ver o vídeo até aos 7:44, posteriormente verei o resto. Mas fico de facto espantado com o facto de o cabeço de montachique ser um "local secreto". É um facto que aí vou algumas vezes e não há ninguém, e que este local faz parte do meu "quintal", mas pensei sinceramente que mais gente conhecesse. Acredito que a partir daí tenham seguido o trilho...vou esperar para ver 😁 Disfruta mais vezes, a vista aí é qualquer coisa quando o dia está limpo!
Pronto, já vi tudo 😅 Já experimentei ambas pois vou baixar severamente a cilindrada e a escolha está entre essas duas meninas. Para o nosso mercado seria interessante se tivessem conseguido também testar a versys...quem sabe num próximo vídeo? Quanto à Himalayan fora de estrada, sinceramente os obstáculos para mim foram o ABS não desligar e os pneus que vinham montados que não têm obviamente a mesma tracção que uns Motoz, mas fiquei tal como tu bastante surpreendido. Tal como também não me senti super confiante com os pneus de origem da rally quando a testei...no entanto é claro: é melhor fora de estrada! Um abraço e obrigado pelo excelente vídeo. Sem dúvida uma mais valia para o mercado e quem nele consome!
Obrigado!!! Para quem queira levar o off road mais a sério, a CRF 250 Rally é claramente superior! Ao ritmo que andei com a Himalayan, o ABS não me fez diferença nenhuma! E sinceramente, acho que naquela mota não é muito necessário que o ABS desligue... não foi desenhada para andar depressa em terra e muito menos a queimar travagens para entrar em curvas atravessado... Estamos a pensar fazer um comparativo entre a Versys 300 e a BMW GS310, mas já sabes à velocidade que as coisas acontecem em Portugal... Abraço! ; )~
@@terrarochaealcatrao9978 quem sabe um dia não chegamos a esse ponto de nos entregarem 4 motas de uma virada???!!! Era Lindo!!! Haja condições, que ideias e vontade de trabalhar não falta!!! Abraço! ; )~
Nice video. Excellent editing and good music choices. The Royal Enfield is a Mule. Like a KLR650 or a Harley Sportster. And to a certain extent, the Honda 250 Rally. I hope that you get a chance to ride another bike, which is not really an Enduro, the KTM 690 Enduro. Everything that you said about both of the bikes in this video is greatly intensified with the 690. Honestly, the 690 should be called an ‘adventure’ bike. Nice content an views of Portugal.
Thanks mate! I’ve tried an old 690 and found it exaggeratedly powerful, uncomfortable and in a way, heavy... because although it’s lighter then the CRF 250 Rally, it feels heavier while riding. 70hp is going to take a big toll on tire wear and I don’t know how to use half of those ponies... you achieve ridiculous speeds in less then nothing... and that just promotes recklessness... you just can’t help yourself on a bike like that! So for long trips, I don’t see it as a good option... but maybe that’s just me... their also known for not being super reliable, which what you need the most, when you’re out and about, a long way away from home... And for local rides, if you enjoy that kind of power, I think you’re probably better off with something lighter. Just my 2 cents... ; )~
The RE is a cool bike for beginners, considering the price...the power for a 400cc is not very good when you need to do motorway...Nice video, as always✌️
Tested Re Himalayan last week and unfortunately i had to get off it after 10 mins due to vibrations. Loved the seat and comfy upright position though, but vibrations through pegs, handle bar and tank killed it for me though.
Rad Raven excelente canal. Gostava de ter a tua opinião. Para um INICIANTE no mundo das duas rodas e mais concretamente no mundo do Adventure/Off road, a CB 500x parece-me a opção certa.Mas a CRF 250 Rally e o seu ar "RAW" deixa-me de queixo caido :). Na prática quero ter uma mota confortável para um novato, para a voltinha de fim de semana e eventualmente para fazer casa trabalho quando me apetecer (estradas locais). Obrigado!
Esse é o dilema que todos nós que queremos fazer aventura, temos... A CB 500X é uma mota muito versátil, mas não deixa de pesar quase 200kg... embora a baixa altura do acento, faz com que seja fácil de lidar. A CRF 250 Rally é uma mota que quase que nos ensina a andar fora de estrada... torna tudo mais fácil e perdoa muito, os erros... mas também tem varias carências... sendo talvez as mais relevantes, uma suspensão muito mole, e o motor limitado, para uso em estrada. E é também muito alta, o que pode dificultar a vida aos menos experientes. Tudo no mundo das motas de aventura é um compromisso! A CB 500X é mais competente em estrada, enquanto que a Rally é a minha escolha para off road, mas não deixa de ser agradável de usar em estradas nacionais... nas auto-estrada acabamos por ir com o motor completamente no limite... dá para andar, mas não é agradável. A CB 500X não vem equipada com rodas de raios, o que é imprescindível para uma utilização off road mais séria... e comprar umas rodas de raios, não sai nada barato! A única coisa que posso dizer com certezas, é que aprendi que vivo muito melhor com a falta de motor, do que com peso excessivo! E como tal, hoje em dia, tudo o que meta off road, eu vou de CRF 250 Rally! Mas a excepção certamente aparecerá, para confirmar a regra. Espero que de algum modo este raciocínio te tenha ajudado. Abraço! ; )~
@@joaodanunciacaonunes7539 pois... tens que perguntar num concessionário Honda, onde podes testar uma. Eu comprei a minha em segunda mão... negócio de oportunidade, com 700km... É uma mota que engana muito, num teste curto... Estas motas vêm muito estranguladas de fábrica... a primeira vez que experimentei uma, não achei grande piada... A segunda vez que experimentei, fiz 300km e fiquei com ela! ; )~
Bom video Rad Raven! Gostei de ambas, mas como tenho uma Triumph Tiger 800 XC onde faço 100% asfalto, a minha escolha recairia para a CRF 250 Rally para brincar fora de estrada :-) Teria assim o melhor de 2 mundos (na minha opinião claro). Abraço
Thanks! And thank you for the honest feedback. Some people praise the music... so, in the future, I think I’ll create a section, dedicated to hearing the sound of the bike. Cheers! ; )~
Fantastic Comparision and like bollywood movie, music all over ;) I used Himalayan for 20 days in lower area of Himalaya, and it was mix of snow, 1 to 2 feet river crossings, bad roads, good roads and let me tell you, never ever i had any issue nor the bike went out of control. The bike is bit industrial and tractorist, but thats again good for long distance riders, you need just small tool box to fix anyting you face. With some 1000 dollors mods, the bike will take you anywhere you want to travel.
Belo video, belas motas, pelo que vi no comportamento das motas, acho que é um empate, acho que Royal é uma mota que não deve ser alterada , deve manter o seu charme do seu conjunto e assim envelhecer
Corrigir ergonomia à medida do nosso corpo, é uma coisa que aconselho a toda a gente, para usufruírem das suas motas em todo o seu esplendor! Mas claro que não temos todos as mesmas necessidades... ; )~
very good, I can see how good it is to put foot on the ground easier, I had Ténéré 250, and I have 1.87 MTS, but already it falls because it does not support the weight of the bike or foot to reach the ground ... hugs
The FMF exhaust has the EU homologation? Does it respect the laws about sound? If there is the certificate no prob but I would like to know it before buying it. Thanks you for the answer!
Sorry mate... I edited this quite a while ago... These songs are picked from a library we have rights to use for Social Media... I have no clue what band or song name it is... Sorry!
Excellent video, thank you ! As a biker in the Algarve I´d love to know where some of those roads are, any road numbers greatly appreciated so I can get up early one morning and ride there !
Those roads are in the Lisbon area... I don’t know their numbers... but if you connect the dots between the locations we mention, you’re bound to have a lot of fun! I’m also in the Algarve! But in the west region. Cheers! ; )~
Only naked bike I had was an unrestricted V-Max... is that powerful enough?! Currently also riding a Super Teneré 1200 ES. Look, the purpose of these bikes do not require a whole lot of power. You either get in the spirit, or you’ll be missing a more powerful engine... think of them as marathon runners. Not too fast, but they’ll get you around the world, if you want! With that said, I’ve never ridden so fast off road, as I am on the Rally. And yes I have owned Enduro bikes as well. Sure, the engine goes screaming all the way through... but that’s part of the fun they provide. Do I wish it had a more powerful engine?! Off course! That’s why I keep adding mods to it... Problem is, I don’t know of any other bike that lets me do what I do with this one, in as much comfort and confidence! Stay tuned! Mid September I’ll start publishing a series on a 16 day, 4,550km trip on the Rally, through The Balkans! Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven I appreciate your detailed reply, very interesting and i'm glad you're so impressed with the bike. Thanks for the video, really look forward to seeing how you got on with the Balkans trip!
Se calhar a Rally devia sair com motor 400cc. Acho o motor um pouco limitado, para uma media, grande aventura. Da indiana, resta saber se oferece a fiabilidade que promete. Bom video, Raven, como sempre.
Epá... não era 400... era o motor da CB 500X, que apenas pesa mais 9kg que o das CRF 250L/Rally... mas isso ia criar uma das melhores motas de sempre... o que significa que se deixavam de vender muitas 250, muitas Africa Twins e provavelmente mais uma quantas, por tabela... por isso, não é provável que aconteça... it's not good for business... O que eu cheguei à conclusão, é que vivo muito melhor com a falta de motor, do que com peso a mais... e ando maravilhado com a minha Rally!!!! Obrigado e abraço! ; )~
Com motor 400cc a Honda disputa as principais competições de Rally ao redor do mundo, por tanto acho muito difícil vermos um dia uma CRF 400 homologada para uso urbano. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho, acabou de ganhar mais um inscrito 😉
@@henryrodriguest Honda released the CRF450L homologated for 2019,and you also have the Honda CB500X that you can modify with full Rally Raid equipment! ;-)
Se você tem intenções de fazer muito off Road, vale sempre a pena meter um pneu mais dedicado a andar na terra!!! Eu gosto muito de Motoz! Mas tem um monte de opção por aí! Obrigado! Abraço! ; )~
Depends on how you like to ride... There is no simple answer to that question. You should try both and decide for yourself, which one puts a bigger smile on your face. That will be the one that will travel the nicest, for you! I opted for a CRF 250 Rally for my long off road travels, but I prefer a bigger bike, when I’m traveling on tarmac only. I really liked both bikes!!! Good luck on your quest! ; )~

I have one of the early Himalayan's to make it here to the US. Love it. Put a couple thousand miles on it in 3 months. I think honestly, without adding a bunch of aftermarket stuff, it just works out of the box. I'm adding a couple LED lights down low to assist seeing offroad in the dark, but having the ability to have the panniers for storage, I even use it for getting groceries. I keep rain gear in one along with a jacket in case it gets cool out at night and a few necessities like some water etc. I'm getting a set of locking rotopacks on the front racks, so I can hook 4 extra gallons of gas on there securely and that doubles my range offroad.

I have re Himalayan here in ladakh (india) during winter in -20°© i never get any problems in RE,I love my bike
Great video! Nice break from all the UK and Spain videos. I love seeing more of our world and Portugal stands right there with the rest. Beautiful country! Looking at these two bikes this year, hard decision.
Peace!
Sorry for the ultra late reply… but only saw this comment now…
Thank you for your kind words!
Excited to try out the new Himalayan 450!!
Cheers! ; )~
Excellent description from the both of you guys. Thanks! (Been searching out Enfield content all day---but, still no closer to a decision.)
Check out this girl's channel, she'll completely win you over to the RE Himalayan...ruclips.net/channel/UCEIs9nkveW9WmYtsOcJBwTg
All the best, Mitch
Excelente vídeo. Me ajudou muito. Estou a decidir pela compra da Himalayan aqui no Brasil. Forte abraço.
Legal!
Obrigado, abraço e boa sorte!!!
; )~
Man, you are the best! Thanks for that great video!!
Cheers mate! ; )~
And thank your friend for the history lesson, it really added a nice angle to the video.
What a great review with really nice editing and useful content. Both of these bikes interest me and it’s nice to find someone that calls each bike for what it really is and how it was intended.
Subscribed and best regards
Cheers mate! Thank you for the kind words!
I’ve been specializing in motorcycle event coverage, but I’ll be gradually shifting more into reviews, next year!
; )~
Sucha a wonderful video. Thanks for those beauty views and your best opinions about this bikes!!! I really love it more than the common motorbiking press reviews wich are not so clear. Muito obrigado!!! Greetings from Spain.
Muchas gracias a ti!
Un saludo de Portugal!

Thanks guys, great video ! I've been riding my Himalayan to work every day and having fun at the weekends too. With or without luggage, unless you're trying to go fast or up long, steep hills, it seems to make virtually no difference to the performance. I might say it's even more stable on road with the panniers. In fact, it's behaving so well that I'm planning a round Europe trip later this year. Keep it up, guys.
For sure!!! The Himalayan is an amazing little bike!!!
Cheers! ; )~
As a 2018 rally owner, I am completely in love with the looks of that Himalayan!
They are both great bikes! Maybe it’s time for a change?!
Cheers! ; )~
Um bom canal de um português. Faz um tempo que vejo, nos canais brasileiros, visitas dos portugueses e é bom poder retribuir isso assistindo um canal de Portugal. Abraços!
Muito obrigado! Abraço! ; )~
Gostei muito do video, obrigado por partilhar. Sem menosprezar os outros vloggers portugueses mas foi bom não ouvir aquele ãããã.... ãããã a cada 10 segundos enquanto pensam nas palavras seguintes 😂😂
Obrigado! Abraço! ; )~
Have had the 250 Rally for since 2017 and it is bullet proof. Light, easy to maneuver, goes well over back roads and trail, but here in Canada we have some big country to cover and the 250 on the highway can be challenging. Pluses and minuses for everything I suppose. Good review. Beautiful country.
Agree 100%! It is not a highway bike... you can survive some highway, but not really enjoy it... unfortunately, there are not many options for a bike that does off road and tarmac as well as the little Rally does...
A CRF 500x Rally would be the dream! Only 9kg difference between engines... but a bike like that would disrupt Honda’s lineup sales, big time... so... I don’t have a lot of hopes of seeing one...
We might see a CRF 450L Rally... but that engine makes no sense in an adventure bike...
Cheers! ; )~
The Honda and the Himalayan have about equal HP so what is your point??? 400 CC no good for highway either??? Ya know you don't have to run at 80 MPH all the time on the road...65 will suffice nicely and both bikes can maintain that easily. My XT 225 can even do that. Both U guys shouldn't even own small bikes if you have to ride at warp speed all the time...buy one of those huge heavy worthle$$ off road adventure tanks if you want to go fast. Leave the true dual sport bikes to the guys that enjoy them and appreciate them for what they are!!!
Nice work, and needed to be done. 👍
So the takeaway... Rally for trails and rippin' around the backcountry, and Himalayan for street and adventure touring. Am I following your review correctly?
That’s definitely my take on it!
Cheers! ; )~
Right on! Cheers form Alaska!
This shootout should have more views, seriously! Great production!
Thanks! This is our first shootout, or even review, ever! So, I guess people still don’t know this channel...
We’ve been focused on events and trips, but we’ll be doing a lot more of these in the future!
Cheers! ; )~
Ô Loko, vídeo maravilhoso, grande trabalho, muito bem feito!!! Acaba de receber mais um seguidor!
Obrigado! E seja bem-vinda!!!

Enjoyed that.
Good scenery, well edited and awesome music 👍
Cheers mate! ; )~
Excellent video guys! And it helped me learn a bit more Portuguese :) Planning to buy a CRF250L this year, mainly for off road riding around Castelo do Bode.
Congrats Rad. Really cool review!
Thanks mate! Cheers!!! ; )~
A very nice review guys, Waiting for my Himalayan and cant wait
Thanks!
You’re going to love it!!!
Cheers! ; )~
Hi, thanks for such an entertaining video. Seeing u make fast turns on the wet roads and still feel confident makes me wonder, what tires are u running on that CRF of yours?
Thanks! 🙏🙏🙏
Motoz Desert!!! My favorite!!!!
Cheers! ; )~
Thanks for doing this. I had no idea there was so much great riding in Portugal. I have an Africa Twin but I’d like to switch to something smaller.
Thanks mate!!!
Light is right!!!
There’s way more and better riding then this in Portugal!!

Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply...
It’s a Nexx X.Wed2!

Excellent review. The RE Himalayan will be my next bike, to join the other stable mates. It's the true KISS bike (Keep It Simple Stupid) go anywhere, do anything bike, with no frills.For sure a great work-horse or a perfect mule, as you wish. I would say, it's the Land Rover Defender on two wheels...
It is a really cool bike! I loved it!!!
; )~
Jose Mendonca
RE Himalayan is best for long ride?
They're making one with 650cc
You better take a look how "simple" that bike is on different motovlogers channels. Cause after theirs reviews I reconsider to buy one of them. Paint just wears off, plastics gets fragile and snaps off. Half of the bolts missing washers from the factory and they need constant retightening. So yeah, just make a homework before buying and then learn a drill to tighten all bolts once a while
@@yannikoloff7659 yeah it's kind of rustic.. bit of locktite on those bolts and add some washers etc. Apparently the export BE4 is much better than previous models, and it's such a basic bike that it's not that hard to maintain yourself
Gorgeous review, perfect!
💪😎💪
Great review, absolutely in love with the Himalayan which is more dual-sport than the 250 Rally, once I'll have finished university and maybe after having found a work, surely I will start thinking of buying it. By the way, great english man, understood literally everything and the pronounciation is very good, good job :D
🙏🙏🙏
Excellent video !
Loved it all ,the film, story , presentation and the history.
Also , Portugal is England’s oldest alliance .
Thanks.
Cheers mate! Thanks! ; )~
Very nice comparison video. Cheers from India 🇮🇳😀
Cheers mate!!! ; )~
I have a 2017 Rally. I love it ,but the RE is very cool too.
Same here. Really digged the Himalayan, but I'm sticking with the Rally!
Cheers! ; )~
I recently purchased the Rally, the Himalayan was the only other bike I was seriously considering. Each have definitely got advantages over the other. I think if the Himalayan had a six speed I would have got that instead, its seat, seat height with slightly better position topped with that chugging long stroke was really tempting.
Lisbon looks cool! Thanks for the captions!
You’re welcome! That’s how we roll here! Always in português and in English, simultaneously!
Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven I have found that english seems to be the universal language. You can have five people, from five different countries, and if english is their second language, they can communicate reasonably well. By having subtitles, you expand your audience. I like that you have both, this way I can learn a little Portuguese. 😁
What a great video guys! Congratulatións!
Cheers! ; )~
Excelente vídeo!!
Excelentes motos!!!
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Muito obrigado!!
🙏🙏🙏
¡¡Enhorabuena!!. He visto vuestro vídeo y es una maravilla. Estoy justamente pensando en una de estas dos motos. Enamorado de ambas. Un saludo y muchas gracias!. ¡Suscrito a vuestro canal!
Gracias! Abraço! ; )~
Mesmo depois de 1 ano,
deixas-me a pensar num brinquedo destes para aventuras fora de estrada.. a Ténere rebenta comigo mesmo muito rápido, e preciso de algo mais leve e divertido pra fazer braaaapppps no mato heheheh
grande abraço companheiro!
Tens a CRF 300L agora! Se tens hipótese de fazer essa escolha, nem penses duas vezes!!!
Abraço! ; )~
@@RadRaven ainda não há preço para osto pois não? A rally realmente so com 153Klg deve ser como andar de bicicleta hehehehe comparado com a besta da Teneré..
@@Hellishrider infelizmente, a 300 Rally, não vem para Portugal... 😤
Pelo menos até ver... 🤷♂️
Excellent review and expert comparison. Very helpful thanks!
Cheers mate! Stoked you liked it!
; )~
Good video that give a down to earth view of both bikes.
Cheers! ; )~
I absolutely loved your review.. Good one.
Thanks mate! ; )~
3:42 Indian here 🤙🏽 . What do you mean by that statement!!! I got that same problem with many bikes 🏍, It’s all about design... and seriously i do feel very uncomfortable with these kind of tanks but some people are ,, I don’t know! very comfortable with this look and design ..
Racism against Indians seems to be very OK and not a problem for most people I’ve seen.
Sorry… we meant no disrespect!
🙏🙏🙏
@arj I’m sorry… we meant no disrespect! 🙏🙏🙏
I really had trouble fitting on the bike and we came to a rushed conclusion, but with no racism intent whatsoever!
My apologies if I offended you!
🙏🙏🙏
Nice vid, thanks! I'm personally swapping from an 800 cc, 200 kg GS to Rally. Major reasons being I never use the power in the GS and secondly I feel much more confident with about 40 kg less weight! Weight is something important, especially for small people like me. I fall sometimes because I ride a bit "brave" sometimes. And I prefer it with a Rally over GS.
Very, very smart choice!!!
Cheers!!! ; )~
É mesmo isto que eu quero. Excelente vídeo! Ainda por cima sou de Torres Vedras e tenho isto tudo para explorar. Agora só falta juntar dinheiro para a carta, equipamento e para a R.E.H. haha mais um par de aninhos que agora o dinheiro está a desviado para o pequenote que ainda só tem mês e meio quase.
💪😎💪
super perpect video! thank you for you guys:D
Cheers mate! ; )~
Thumbs up for a great review Guys.Owning a 1150 GSA and looking at a smaller bike to do a lap of Oz soon I'm seriously looking at the Himalayan. After test riding one for a couple of hours it dawned on me that the Himalayan is a "mini" 1150 GSA. A "mini" all rounder. Perfect for leisurely exploring the back roads my home ( Australia ).
As soon as you leave tarmac, I can only see advantages on these lighter bikes!!!
I have no doubt you will have a blast!!!
Taking from my experience, coming from an Africa Twin myself, the only thing you’ll wonder is: why didn’t I think of this sooner?!
Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven Spot on. I've already done extensive touring on my wife's "adventurised" XT250 and touring small is much more relaxing and enjoyable. It gives you time to look around and the ability to check out that gnarly sidetrack that you wouldn't take the big girl down lol.
The 250 Rally was also on my list but the only drawback for me is the small tank size for a country the size of Australia with often hundreds of kms between fuel stops in the outback. Keep up the good work. Cheers.
So, you definitely know what I’m going on about! But many folks are still trapped in the big trail conundrum... hahaha!
There’s a larger tank for the Rally by IMS... and it’s lighter then the original! Planing on grabbing one for mine. Add a rotopax on top of that, and the world is your oyster! Hahaha!
But the Himalayan also has it’s charm!!! And it’s an awesome bike!!!
Enjoy your trip outback!
Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven For sure. Everyone needs to try it but as you know you have to go in with the right mindset and enjoy the experience and stay off the highways. I'll see if I can get a ride on Rally for comparison as it seems like a great bike with lots of accessories available. Yours looks well set up mate.
coobye yeah, make room for your body and get a Seat Concepts and it gets to be as comfortable as an Africa Twin!
; )~
Great vid! Been waiting for this himalyan and rally face off for a while 👌
Great Surprise, I was looking for some info about the "CRF 250 L / Rally " and i catch this great video with this review and was just amazing, the RE it's not my kind of bike, but I was very, very surprised with the good performance off-road, I was thinking that RE was more limited, but is not bad at all. In 2009, I bought a Yamaha xtz 660 Tenere and was my favorite bike ever, since i sold it in 2016 I got different bikes but i never got one like it.
I think that will try the lightweight Honda CRF 250 Rally for my adventures, it's good enough for my basic skills.
Um abraço e continuação de bom trabalho, é sempre bom ver trabalho de qualidade feito em Portugal.
Muito obrigado amigo!
Abraço! ; )~
Please drop both bikes and see which one comes out with less damage. I hope the CRF250L as it's supposed to be a much more offroad-oriented bike! I think everyone would love some true offroad videos as well! (Sand, dirt, very uneven terrain at both low and high speeds).
I don’t own a RE... but here’s an off road video with my CRF 250 Rally:
ruclips.net/video/J_EMfYV3unY/видео.html
Many more on the way!
; )~
I just found your channel. Great content and this is just what I was looking for. Do you think there's a massive difference to the results of you replace the CRF 250 with the new CRF 300 Rallye?
Loved those roads near Lisbon. Must come and ride them!
Good to know you found us and you liked the content.
I believe the 300s are a step in the right direction and there are definitely more differences then meet the eye!
Cheers! ; )~
I've been looking at the CB500X, but now starting to lean towards the CRF250 Rally. Exploring the countryside in New Zealand is perfect for it. What is the music you used in the video? Thanks for producing a superb review on these bikes.
Sorry for the ultra late reply… 🙈
It was music for a royalty free library.
Thank you!! 🙏🙏
@@RadRaven after all that, I bought a Royal Enfield Himalayan. Still got it and love it. Few vids on my channel.
The Himalayan does liven up quite a bit more when you unplug the evap unit on the sump guard and of course you've got the power commander to add and with some more off-road suited tyres I bet the Himalayan would give the Honda a run for it's money as it was designed and built to cross the Himalayas...and that's friggin gnarly..I wouldn't want to do that on a 250 Honda ..I'm lucky enough to have both Honda and royal Enfield... what you do get with the Enfield is a great utilitarian bike that will carry a shed load of stuff safely from AtoB and it's proven it's worth time and time again.. I love both bikes , and yeah I use my Honda for single track and my Enfield for touring ...but the Enfield will do both . great vid.
They both do both! I’m touring off road with my CRF 250 Rally! On road I like something with a little bit more engine.
With that said, I loved the Himalayan! And stated that over and over on the video!
Lucky you that owns both!
Cheers! ; )~
High quality . The bikes weren't bad neither . Thanks guy's
Cheers! ; )~
Ainda só consegui ver o vídeo até aos 7:44, posteriormente verei o resto. Mas fico de facto espantado com o facto de o cabeço de montachique ser um "local secreto". É um facto que aí vou algumas vezes e não há ninguém, e que este local faz parte do meu "quintal", mas pensei sinceramente que mais gente conhecesse. Acredito que a partir daí tenham seguido o trilho...vou esperar para ver 😁
Disfruta mais vezes, a vista aí é qualquer coisa quando o dia está limpo!
Pronto, já vi tudo 😅 Já experimentei ambas pois vou baixar severamente a cilindrada e a escolha está entre essas duas meninas. Para o nosso mercado seria interessante se tivessem conseguido também testar a versys...quem sabe num próximo vídeo? Quanto à Himalayan fora de estrada, sinceramente os obstáculos para mim foram o ABS não desligar e os pneus que vinham montados que não têm obviamente a mesma tracção que uns Motoz, mas fiquei tal como tu bastante surpreendido. Tal como também não me senti super confiante com os pneus de origem da rally quando a testei...no entanto é claro: é melhor fora de estrada!
Um abraço e obrigado pelo excelente vídeo. Sem dúvida uma mais valia para o mercado e quem nele consome!
Obrigado!!!
Para quem queira levar o off road mais a sério, a CRF 250 Rally é claramente superior!
Ao ritmo que andei com a Himalayan, o ABS não me fez diferença nenhuma! E sinceramente, acho que naquela mota não é muito necessário que o ABS desligue... não foi desenhada para andar depressa em terra e muito menos a queimar travagens para entrar em curvas atravessado...
Estamos a pensar fazer um comparativo entre a Versys 300 e a BMW GS310, mas já sabes à velocidade que as coisas acontecem em Portugal...
Abraço! ; )~
@@RadRaven estarei cá para ver. Se meterem as 4 frente a frente voluntario-me 😂
Abraço!
@@terrarochaealcatrao9978 quem sabe um dia não chegamos a esse ponto de nos entregarem 4 motas de uma virada???!!! Era Lindo!!!

That chugging idle sounds awesome
😎
Parabéns, um vídeo incrível de assistir!!!
Obrigado! Abraço! ; )~
Nice video. Excellent editing and good music choices. The Royal Enfield is a Mule. Like a KLR650 or a Harley Sportster. And to a certain extent, the Honda 250 Rally. I hope that you get a chance to ride another bike, which is not really an Enduro, the KTM 690 Enduro. Everything that you said about both of the bikes in this video is greatly intensified with the 690. Honestly, the 690 should be called an ‘adventure’ bike. Nice content an views of Portugal.
Thanks mate!
I’ve tried an old 690 and found it exaggeratedly powerful, uncomfortable and in a way, heavy... because although it’s lighter then the CRF 250 Rally, it feels heavier while riding.
70hp is going to take a big toll on tire wear and I don’t know how to use half of those ponies... you achieve ridiculous speeds in less then nothing... and that just promotes recklessness... you just can’t help yourself on a bike like that!
So for long trips, I don’t see it as a good option... but maybe that’s just me... their also known for not being super reliable, which what you need the most, when you’re out and about, a long way away from home...
And for local rides, if you enjoy that kind of power, I think you’re probably better off with something lighter.
Just my 2 cents...
; )~
The RE is a cool bike for beginners, considering the price...the power for a 400cc is not very good when you need to do motorway...Nice video, as always✌️
Yeah... none of these bikes are meant to do freeway, unless you really need to... but who wants to do adventure one the freeway, anyway?!
Cheers! ; )~
Himalayan is born for the Himalayas!
@@harishkiran3663 ahahaha ✌️
Tested Re Himalayan last week and unfortunately i had to get off it after 10 mins due to vibrations. Loved the seat and comfy upright position though, but vibrations through pegs, handle bar and tank killed it for me though.
The one I teste didn’t have many vibration problems...
Good review and comparison man
Cheers mate! ; )~
Was just in Lisbon last week. Went to the Royal Enfield dealer and torn between the Himalayan or the Honda 300 rally. On Terceira lots of back roads.
💪😎💪
Rad Raven excelente canal. Gostava de ter a tua opinião. Para um INICIANTE no mundo das duas rodas e mais concretamente no mundo do Adventure/Off road, a CB 500x parece-me a opção certa.Mas a CRF 250 Rally e o seu ar "RAW" deixa-me de queixo caido :). Na prática quero ter uma mota confortável para um novato, para a voltinha de fim de semana e eventualmente para fazer casa trabalho quando me apetecer (estradas locais). Obrigado!
Esse é o dilema que todos nós que queremos fazer aventura, temos...
A CB 500X é uma mota muito versátil, mas não deixa de pesar quase 200kg... embora a baixa altura do acento, faz com que seja fácil de lidar.
A CRF 250 Rally é uma mota que quase que nos ensina a andar fora de estrada... torna tudo mais fácil e perdoa muito, os erros... mas também tem varias carências... sendo talvez as mais relevantes, uma suspensão muito mole, e o motor limitado, para uso em estrada. E é também muito alta, o que pode dificultar a vida aos menos experientes.
Tudo no mundo das motas de aventura é um compromisso!
A CB 500X é mais competente em estrada, enquanto que a Rally é a minha escolha para off road, mas não deixa de ser agradável de usar em estradas nacionais... nas auto-estrada acabamos por ir com o motor completamente no limite... dá para andar, mas não é agradável.
A CB 500X não vem equipada com rodas de raios, o que é imprescindível para uma utilização off road mais séria... e comprar umas rodas de raios, não sai nada barato!
A única coisa que posso dizer com certezas, é que aprendi que vivo muito melhor com a falta de motor, do que com peso excessivo! E como tal, hoje em dia, tudo o que meta off road, eu vou de CRF 250 Rally! Mas a excepção certamente aparecerá, para confirmar a regra.
Espero que de algum modo este raciocínio te tenha ajudado.
Abraço! ; )~
Rad Raven 👌🏻
uma última pergunta, não encontro esta mota em nenhum concessionário da Honda...onde é que compraste a tua? gostava de a "sentir" ;)
@@joaodanunciacaonunes7539 pois... tens que perguntar num concessionário Honda, onde podes testar uma.
Eu comprei a minha em segunda mão... negócio de oportunidade, com 700km...
É uma mota que engana muito, num teste curto...
Estas motas vêm muito estranguladas de fábrica... a primeira vez que experimentei uma, não achei grande piada...
A segunda vez que experimentei, fiz 300km e fiquei com ela!
; )~
Bom video Rad Raven!
Gostei de ambas, mas como tenho uma Triumph Tiger 800 XC onde faço 100% asfalto, a minha escolha recairia para a CRF 250 Rally para brincar fora de estrada :-)
Teria assim o melhor de 2 mundos (na minha opinião claro).
Abraço
Great review, but honestly, I think the music is distracting. The sound of the bike alone is enough background when you`re talking about the bike.
Thanks! And thank you for the honest feedback.
Some people praise the music... so, in the future, I think I’ll create a section, dedicated to hearing the sound of the bike.
Cheers! ; )~
Music is tacky
Realmente, a música poderia ser um pouco menos notável.
Agree.....
Riding through those ruins was simply stunning. Cant imagine how it must have felt being there.
🙏🙏🙏
Fantastic Comparision and like bollywood movie, music all over ;)
I used Himalayan for 20 days in lower area of Himalaya, and it was mix of snow, 1 to 2 feet river crossings, bad roads, good roads and let me tell you, never ever i had any issue nor the bike went out of control. The bike is bit industrial and tractorist, but thats again good for long distance riders, you need just small tool box to fix anyting you face.
With some 1000 dollors mods, the bike will take you anywhere you want to travel.
The CRF300L Rally will hit it just right. Thanks for the content!
Thanks!
Already waiting for mine! ; )~
Belo video, belas motas, pelo que vi no comportamento das motas, acho que é um empate, acho que Royal é uma mota que não deve ser alterada , deve manter o seu charme do seu conjunto e assim envelhecer
Corrigir ergonomia à medida do nosso corpo, é uma coisa que aconselho a toda a gente, para usufruírem das suas motas em todo o seu esplendor! Mas claro que não temos todos as mesmas necessidades...
; )~
muito bom um abraço do rapaz louco por motos do posto da galp de porto covo e continua com os videos para os apaixonados por motos
Obrigado! Abraço! E até breve!

very good, I can see how good it is to put foot on the ground easier, I had Ténéré 250, and I have 1.87 MTS, but already it falls because it does not support the weight of the bike or foot to reach the ground ... hugs
Yeah, having a lower bike can really help boost your confidence!
Cheers! ; )~

A 1-stroke motorcycle: That's what makes the Himalayan really outstanding!
The fuck are you on about? The himalayan is a four-stroke... There's not even such thing as a 1 stroke engine.
Ha ha u mean 4 stroke
You probably mean one cylinder…

I have both. Not sure which one I like more. Both are fun.

Obrigado! Abraço! ; )~
Hey mate, great video. Just interested to know what bikes you've owned in the past? Have you had lots of more powerful road stuff? e.g. a naked 650
Only naked bike I had was an unrestricted V-Max... is that powerful enough?!
Currently also riding a Super Teneré 1200 ES.
Look, the purpose of these bikes do not require a whole lot of power. You either get in the spirit, or you’ll be missing a more powerful engine... think of them as marathon runners. Not too fast, but they’ll get you around the world, if you want!
With that said, I’ve never ridden so fast off road, as I am on the Rally. And yes I have owned Enduro bikes as well.
Sure, the engine goes screaming all the way through... but that’s part of the fun they provide.
Do I wish it had a more powerful engine?! Off course! That’s why I keep adding mods to it...
Problem is, I don’t know of any other bike that lets me do what I do with this one, in as much comfort and confidence!
Stay tuned! Mid September I’ll start publishing a series on a 16 day, 4,550km trip on the Rally, through The Balkans!
Cheers! ; )~
@@RadRaven I appreciate your detailed reply, very interesting and i'm glad you're so impressed with the bike. Thanks for the video, really look forward to seeing how you got on with the Balkans trip!
Se calhar a Rally devia sair com motor 400cc. Acho o motor um pouco limitado, para uma media, grande aventura. Da indiana, resta saber se oferece a fiabilidade que promete.
Bom video, Raven, como sempre.
Epá... não era 400... era o motor da CB 500X, que apenas pesa mais 9kg que o das CRF 250L/Rally... mas isso ia criar uma das melhores motas de sempre... o que significa que se deixavam de vender muitas 250, muitas Africa Twins e provavelmente mais uma quantas, por tabela... por isso, não é provável que aconteça... it's not good for business...
O que eu cheguei à conclusão, é que vivo muito melhor com a falta de motor, do que com peso a mais... e ando maravilhado com a minha Rally!!!!
Obrigado e abraço! ; )~
Rad Raven boa observação, não tinha pensado nisso.
@@RadRaven perfeitamente de acordo. Tal como nas bicicletas, o peso é o nosso pior adversário.
Com motor 400cc a Honda disputa as principais competições de Rally ao redor do mundo, por tanto acho muito difícil vermos um dia uma CRF 400 homologada para uso urbano. Parabéns pelo excelente trabalho, acabou de ganhar mais um inscrito 😉
@@henryrodriguest Honda released the CRF450L homologated for 2019,and you also have the Honda CB500X that you can modify with full Rally Raid equipment! ;-)
Rad..será q um pneu mais off road não fariam bem a himalayan?? Tipo 50/50 .. comprei a minha no Brasil e fico pensando nisso !!! Belo vídeo
Se você tem intenções de fazer muito off Road, vale sempre a pena meter um pneu mais dedicado a andar na terra!!!
Eu gosto muito de Motoz! Mas tem um monte de opção por aí!
Obrigado! Abraço!

which is best for long ride?
Depends on how you like to ride...
There is no simple answer to that question.
You should try both and decide for yourself, which one puts a bigger smile on your face. That will be the one that will travel the nicest, for you!
I opted for a CRF 250 Rally for my long off road travels, but I prefer a bigger bike, when I’m traveling on tarmac only.
I really liked both bikes!!!
Good luck on your quest!
