I am using KTM Adventure 390 as my daily driver and also for touring for last 3 years now. I’ve used this machine in heavy traffic of Bangalore as well as on highways. It’s light weight, nimble and fast. There is definitely buzzing machine, not as smooth as its rivals, but not that annoying also.
agree, also I don't know how bulu bhai is saying himalayan 450 doesnt have vibes. I felt it has too much vibes on my test ride. maybe the test ride bike had problems
RE Himalayan is an adventure touring bike. Question should be, how good is the bike in adventure touring category? If u want a city bike, RE has Classic. Its non-capability in city cannot be its demerit. When we look for a 'Do it all' bike in an adventure tourer then it is unfair to the bike and its makers. Rightly said by Bulu bhai, 99% people dont do off roading. Hence, review videos should be made more relatable as to what the majority of riders do (and are capable of doing). Like Bulu, even i am not a RE fan but I would appreciate the efforts and thought put by RE in Himalayan 450. Its indeed a value for money bike and is fairly capable of delivering what it promises.
Ktm adv sw variant with adjustable suspension kills every competition till date, the adventure x and even the standard adv may debate with the him 450 but the rally version of adv 390 feels way superior and different with all the features and balance
both bikes serve different people. The Himalayan 450 is more off-road focused than the Adventure 390, even the SW, because of the low rev grunt that the KTM lacks. If you don't want to keep switching gears off-road, the Himalayan is better than the Adventure 390, but if you want to cruise at high speeds without the feeling that the engine is struggling, then the KTM is better. Himalayan can cruise at high speeds too, just that the Adventure 390 is made for that.
Is ktm 390 suspension so stiff that we can feel back pain in Indian tier two cities road ..roads in small cities are like off road only, the plush level of hero Honda is wat I like but In every video people for ktm 390 say at less speed it's very uncomfortable in 2gear rides and less comfortable. Daily office and city usage. I like looks of ktm 390 and adjustable suspension option. But since every one saying hard seat and bad on low gear daily ride. Please clarify I'm in dilemma.
@@derkonig2292 got the fuelx with BMC air filter, engine ice coolant and iridium spark plug and low end issues solved with amazing throttle response due to linear combustion mapped by the ECU. Of course a bit aggressive on the throttle as the 390 engine demands but I love that feeling where you can get out of traps with weight shifts and power. The suspensions work amazing when balanced with each other. Even the quick shifter and auto blipper is butter smooth in transition.the ecu also makes sure to not cut the engine off even if u are below 2k rpm on 3rd gear, it adapts .I love this sw ktm variant. Its a game changer
@@The1994arpanI've changed the sprocket, it still runs in high rpms but can do low speed runs in high gear, my milage also declined ofc 😂, apart from that still all stock with a reck for topbox. Love riding that machine.
Please remember we do not have tappets in RE Himalayan 450, like all other RE machines. This Sherpa engine is a completely new one. The valves are operated using chain and Cams.
All baba Ranchoddas here 🙇. We are talking about the ICE Himalayan not the Electric version. ICE without tappets. Understand that 'JOSH' is high for RE fanboys. Par itna bhi aage nahi nikle ki they can beat the Triple Alliance.
@@alakeshkakati984 not all engine noise is of tappets. But sometimes it may occur after hard riding or after the viscosity of engine oil goes low. Change engine oil after regular intervals.
@@alakeshkakati984lol hunter is a JOKE from RE 😂 now don’t tell me that u didn’t knew about it. It’s the most cheapest RE bike and useless bike sale it
This is only real review of Himalayan 450. Because every other youtuber is reviewing Himalayan 450 like its the best adv bike in the world and doesn't have any flaws.Thanks Bulu Bhai for honest review
Please do a similar comparison with Triumph Scrambler 400 X too as it's an equal competitor for Adventure X, Himalayan 450 with slightly better priced and also seems pocket friendly on maintenance
one thing everyone is refusing to acknowledge is RE is focusing its bikes for western market now... so this himalayn would be great if youre atleast 5'11 or 6 feet... the weight is not an issue for tall riders...
Makes sense. No matter how much the RE fanboys troll online, the fact is no one buys one. RE is still one of the lowest selling bikes in India in terms of Sales. With the western market they have hit a sweet spot for time being.
@@BuluBiker Indian market sure is huge .. but unfortunately RE I think doesn't take them seriously.. and solely focuses it's sales numbers in the west..... that's why it's really cheap in india.. and about 6k 7k in US ... so selling 1 bike there would be better than selling one in india i think
Add Fuelx lite to KTM 390 ADV and forget about competition. I own 2021 ADV and recently added FuelX, it feels like a different bike with endless power and excellent low rpm torque.
Whenever I switch a bike, my whole point of purchasing a new bike is that it will pose challenges because that will help me learn new skills and make an upgrade, make me a better rider. So, the RE, despite its heavy weight should never be an issue for any rider who wants to make himself or herself better. What is the point of buying a new bike if you will continue to do the same old thing that you used to do on your old bike? I'm planning to switch from NS200 to Himalayan and I'm not at all scared. Yes, I'm not confident but over time, I will learn. I'm a hardcore KTM fan but I will still buy the Himalayan and not the ADV 390 because I've ridden the 390 a lot over the years and it never felt too difficult or big of jump when I compare it to NS200. And come on, history has taught us that riding has nothing to with height. If you are skilled, you know how to handle the bike. We have so many women riders who manage it, even racers who are of short height and without muscles but still do the impossible. Not to forget, so many nimble people ride higher CC heavy motorcycles on a daily basis. So, it's all about the will to learn new things and accept the challenge. A few crashes will happen and that is part and parcel of motorcycling -- it is a fact to be embraced and must be proceeded with caution but without too much fear.
Regarding solo rides on Him 450 to Himalayan destinations, v must not forget that a lady from abroad has already done it as part of RE pre launch promotions...(Itchy Boots) And a total of 4500km of solo riding👍
Brother there's a difference between someone going solo few times a year and someone travelling solo everyday almost and that too being a professional content creator.
Eureka! The KTM 790's cruise control is now working on my KTM 390 Adventure. Proper OEM switch and coupler to coupler fitment. One more reason to stick with KTMs. Did the first test today. I am running a few more tests and will get back to you.
@@abhishekanand9522 I am still testing so can't attach a cost to it. Just using the switch won't work. It needs a module. The unit can cost as high as 70k-80k including customs unless you directly bring it from Canada or the US while flying back. Once I have thoroughly tested, I will check how best to deal with the customs issues. For now. Just rejoice that it works!
Hey Bulu, One of the most in depth comparos between 2 motorbikes. I have not test ridden the Triumph 400x Scrambler, and am really curious house that will compete against the Himalayan 450. You forgot to mention the USD in the features while you were comparing both the bikes. And heat dissipation was also missed by you. Which bike will generate more heat in bumper - bumper traffic/in the city? Many thanks for taking the time to put all these points ot there for us. This only helps us being mode prepared before finalising on any motorbike Ride safe & tc!!
@@BuluBiker - Thnx for replying! Outs people like you we turn to for some frank & unbiased views. Let us know how the bike performs post the 1st service.
@@BuluBiker sir why we are not giving credit to dominor 400 that bikes is way much better then this both for touring purpose and in less money than both no one goes for offroading daily
@@storyofmusic926 Quality issues. Several Cases were reported for Engine Oil and Coolant Mixing, Engine Seizing, Ridiculous Vibration, Weak Alloy Wheels. As a Motorcycle, It is quite good but Weight now is over 190kgs. Overally Triumph Scrambler/Speed 400 and V-Strom 250 SX much better than Dominar
Don't think that Adv 390 2025 will be more costlier than the current gen. It has the same engine has the new gen Duke and the price increase is not that much. The design is changed but 10-15k price hike compared to available Adv 390 variant.
Bulu Bhai sab mind set ka game hai, ki Zanskar ride me bike problem karegi. Sep 2022 me Meteor 350 se Kargil to Darcha via Padum ride ki thi "Alone" my age just 60 Bike performance se jyda mindset hona jaruri hai 🙏
I think most people in India mistake adv 390 as a tourer.. it's meant for off road.. trials.. rivers, jumping from a cliff, climbing trees kind.. whereas REs have always been for easy go cruise, tour etc.. there's a reason why adv 390 has a stiff suspension.. everyone is getting it wrong..
If you have done it before, the old Himalayan tank could be removed in a few minutes. I expected this model to make it easier as the air filter is beneath the tank, as the problem of connectors and hoses getting loose and dirt ingress is always there. Another problem with removing the tank is that it is heavy as hell when it is full.
How often do u change air filter? It is a benefit rather than a demerit. You missed the point that the outer part of the fuel tank is lower, to bring the center of gravity lower. Air filter is a light component, so it was kept under the fuel tank. This is normal like you will see on so many motorcycles - KTM 1190 ADV, Triumph Tiger 800, Honda Frica Twin and so on.
Yesterday I have lifted te fuel tank on service n it was the most heaviest psrt on the bike 😂 and Yes the air filter is not at the tip of the Motorcycle its slightly lower to the bottom of the fuel tank u can checkout my recent reel on Instagram
I am 6ft 4in tall and ride an Electra TS 350. I was waiting for the 452 anxiously. The biggest letdown for me is the lack of a tubeless option and that too because of Indian government regulations. Europe will get the tubeless version. Why not us? We should demand a policy change. Don’t blame RE for this.
One improvement point for the videos in future Bulu bhai. You have used words like isko usko to refer to bikes always, for people trying to listen only to audio becomes impossible to continue. Its much better to use names.
One of the best comparisons indeed... I have a request bulu bhaiya. Please ak pillion comfort ki upar bhi video banado. Q ki aj main test drive liye with my pillion,and her feedback is there vibrations is too much even more than old Himalayan. I need your view on this specific point please.
Bulu bhai please suggest kare ki ab kaun si bike lu meteor chala chala k bore ho gaya na to speed hai aur na handling itni acchi braking bhi OK ok hai ab mai upgrade karna chata hu please sugesst muje 2lakh me 5/7 hazar km chali hui ek interceptor-650 mil rahi aur ek highness 350 please batao kaun si lu please please reply karna aapka pakka wala fan ♥
bulu bhai, bhot acha content and comparison h just, ek chez or add krne ko try kriye dono ki riding footage, or jo bhi pro ya con aapne face kia, wo bi address kre.
i have my car for long highway trip, so i need a bike to enjoy my weekends doing offroad muds and going to waterfall in jungles nearby city and also for riding in a small hill station with narrow roads which requires easy to handle light weight, so i should definitely go for 390 adventure with adjustable suspension, thankyou bulu bhai, i was confused for many months ,this video cleared my confusions and helped me finalised my decision
Dada mai bahot jada Confuse hu ki kaun si bike lu mai already meteor 350 chala rha hu jo ek thek thak bike hai higway me confidence nahi rhata braking me dum nahi hai bus 60 se 80 pe chalna hai to theek hai mai ek upgrade chata hu ab kaun si bike lu maine himalyan chala k dekha pasand nahi aai lots off vibrations feel hota hai kon set handle awaj karta hai braking me hight jada hai aur weight bhi jada hai. please suggest best bike jisme muje traffic me 40% rahna padta hai baki touring karta hu mahine me do tin long trip hoti rahti hai like 3/400 km tak ka.. Interceptor-650 Honda cb-350 Speed 400/scrambler Harley x440 Ya to wait karu thoda aur ek adh sal kuch behtar option k liye Please reply Dada I am waiting meri hight bhi aapke barbar hi hai
I'm surprised how big of an issue the weight is it's 177kg vs 196kg and so 19kg and even in that 3kg is from petrol, so at same petrol level it's approx 15kg heavier, I'm really surprised 8% of weight difference would make that big of a change
bass wo hi nai, weight distribution matters, 19 kg extra weight agar thora upar ki taraf ho that can feel double heavier. The gs310 feels even lighter than ktm390adv. The yezdi feels like tripple heavier 😂
Zabardast video. Video of the year. 👍🏻 Hope ki bulu bhai aap Himalayan 450 ka reise moto tyre review banao taaki humko ek hardcore trail tyre pe upgrade karne mein decision making mein ease ho.
I own a Thunder bird twin spark 2012 model. Night mare maintaining the bike inspite of very smooth riding. As the bike becomes old we have to get it serviced by local mechanics and RE workshops dont have components. I am worried about existing himlayan 411 owners as RE stops manufacturing components after sometime. RE are not reliable.
Cons Heavy weight 196 kg without any accessories and luggage 2. No tubeless tyres 3. Consol have many bugs 4. Mileage around 22 km 5. No tail lamps 6. No crash guard, it comes with accessories and you hve to pay extra 7. Joystick for console have a poor build quality 8. As we know RE bikes are not refined and reliable 9. Not everyone is dakar rally rider 😂 if you take this bike to off-road it will be pain in the ** neck 😅 10. Not at all for city rides specially in Mumbai traffic 11. If you connect your phone to console, you have to continue switch on your phone which drain your phone battery or else you hve to invest 10 to 15k to buy another phone 12. Low end performance is pathetic 13. Heating issue is very much Pros 1. Brakes are good 2. Engine is powerful good for touring, but again no tubeless tyres 3. Service centre are available in many areas 4. Road presence are good Think before you buy , don't watch RUclips videos, youtuber videos can only give you the product information, but if you take a test ride it wil be more understanding to buy a motorcycle
Bulu Bhai a timeline to the video could have been nice. So that we could have skipped past some parts or a go to a particular part of the video. The whole content is great though.
Bulu Bhai one small suggestion agar next time aise 1 hr ka video banate tho bikes ka naam lena everytime kyunki itana bada video hum commute karne time dekhte confuse hojata hai kounsi bike ki baat hora hai karke pls if possible karna next time just a suggestion kyun commute karte karte sunnte tho commute bhi aacha jaayega aaur video bhi dekhliya jaisa hoga
Bullu Bhai, one feedback. Since such long videos are also heard by people as podcast please always say the name of the bike when you're choosing one over the other. "Muje ye pasand hai woh pasand hai" can't understand which bike you're talking about if you're listening to the audio only.
Bulu Bhai, Im planning to buy KTM Adventure 390. Took a test ride but found lot many vibrations on foot pegs. Specially on the roght one. Took another test ride, this one was very smooth. Now, I am kind of confused. Pls tell me if u observed any vibration issues.
Very nice video😊. Really confused. I need a do it all bike but my 90 %rides will be in city. Therefore I know cb350 would be good enough but still someone like Himalayan more. Don’t know which one to go for. Could you suggest?
Even CT100 is good enough. Test rode it yesterday and it does the job well. I am in my quest to search for a second two wheeler for short commutes. If you love the Himalayan just go for it. But if you just like it just the way I do despite being a KTM owner, do some ground research yourself. It sounds funny but I would suggest make a list of your requirements in a pocket diary. Test the bikes back to back.
Please ride new KTM 390 Adventure, it is better than its previous version. ECU got new maps it runs smoother than before , less frequent gear shift , TCS and other option remains in its previous state. you will definitely like it. with some upgrade it can really runs buttery smooth and runs in low rpm better.
@@RosZiOviC ha ha so Himalayan after u sit on the bike doesn't feel so heavy, interceptor even while moving here n there feels heavy as I had experienced that for a year😁
Bullu bhai, pillion comfort for long distance touring kaunsa sahi rahega. Most of the bikes don't focus on pillion comfort for long journeys. I've heard CB500X was one of them which gives superb pillion comfort but which bike in this price point is best for pillion comfort?
You have noticed all the fine details of the Himalayan 450, I really appreciate your take on this. I am facing a dilemma after test riding the Himalayan, the Scrambler 400x and I am looking to replace my Dominar 400. I love my Fury (Dominar400) but the main reason why I am in the market trying to replace it with a better machine is because I am looking for better more forgiving suspensions, an even more exhilarating performance from the engine or at least the same level of performance that I get on Fury and I ride alone 5 days of the week to my workplace but as soon as the weekend comes I ride with a pillion my wife and then my Fury's stiff suspension, poor weight management and the less turning radius becomes even more troublesome for me within the city. Now the Scrambler 400x, is ticking all the boxes but the only crucial thing that it misses out for me on is the Engine performance - the low end is mind Blowing, very easy to filter in the traffic, picks up on any gear no matter how the speed is.. but the TOP END is simply not enough to entice me away from my Fury, after 90-100kmph, the engine feels restricted, strained and buzzy as f***. But aside from this, every small detail on 400x is fantastic be it the suspension setup, the seats, the seat height, handling is amazingly easy. I don't really mind the instrument cluster. Now the Himalayan felt exciting, and was easily the most visceral bike as it has the performance with a lot of buzzy-ness, the suspensions are stiffer than the Scrambler 400x but still were very comfortable than my Fury. The instrument cluster has best in class features. Seats are spacious and comfortable for both me and my pillion, handling is again not as easy as the Scrambler but manageable within the city and confident inspiring on the highways. It doesn't really solve all my issues with the dominar but it feels like a different kind of flavoured bike that I can explore and have fun with.. The suspension and turning radius issues are solved for me coming from the Dominar- both me and my pillion are happy on that front, but the city riding, the extreme buzz on high speeds are a big problem for the both of us but at least it has the capability of doing those kind of speeds unlike the Scrambler 400x. Also, the weight management is still the same if not worse than my Dominar 400. I love my Dominar 400, and that's why I am in this dilemma of which is a better proposition for my above mentioned troubles. For reference I am 6ft 105 kgs and my pillion is 60kgs. I only tour thrice in an year and I ride every day for at least 10-20 kms, exhilarating, very comfortable and easy to manage on a day to day basis are the key attributes for a replacement bike to my Fury. Please do suggest.
RE did a great job tbh, with the tubeless tyres in gen2 himalayan would be a great option. I really want other competitors to come in too! TVS ke paas option tha ek adventure nikalne ka, 310gs type ka kuch... with the new r3 and mt03, yamaha can bring in Tenere300, or even the tenere15 😂 no one talks about the suzuki 250 gstorm. Honda is also mission out! honda is not even serious about india. that 200x is a comedy. Yezdi should stop selling their adventure, absolute worst. Hero is also very late in the market.
y showing hate to Yezdi bro... they have already rectified their mistakes in the 2023 version of their bikes. Just because the initial impression is not good for a bike doesn't mean its an uncapable bike. Remember what happened to RE in its initial days, when they launched their initial products.
I absolutely love their other products. Just the adventure was bad. I hope yezdi comes up with a good product in near future. and I will soon test ride the adventure, lets see.@@ajaikrishnajm9146
Hello brothet, ik looking for Adv 390, should i buy now or should i wait for new adv 390? Im not sure how long shd i wait. When can we expect the launch of new adv 390?
Why not compare brand new bikes from both manufacturers. The himalyan you guys have right there is a fresh model compared to old ktm. The brake issue and other stuff pointed out seems to be the wear after used and depend on the owner’s maintenance.
I already have a GT650 which I use for both touring and city ride but you cant go like more than 350km in a single day because the way it is built and I don't want to change its ergonomics. Don't get me wrong I love it to death since its the first bike I purchased on my own. So, I want to buy a 2nd bike for touring and I want it to be Himalayan 450. I took a test drive and its just awesome. I don't mind the weight since I'm already using a GT650 and 6 feet tall. But the only thing pulling me back as of now is the availability of tubeless rims. I want to buy it with the tubeless rims as standard or when they are available as an accessory. Hope RE makes them available soon. Fingers crossed.
@@ashwin2263If this is your very first bike then I would suggest neither of them. Gt650 has weight and power adv 390 has lower weight and power. Both of them should be considered as an upgrade not as the first bike in my opinion. I would rather suggest you to go for ns200. It was my first bike as well. Even I was thinking of duke 390 but when I took a test drive of ns200 I was shocked because if 200 is so quick then what will 390 be. So stick with 200 and later down the line after 3-4 years then upgrade to a higher capacity.
Bulu bhai scram 411 me standard double stand nahi ata hay, mujhe as a accessories lagana para, ap ne bola spoke wheel may RE deta hay, but scram 411 may nahi diya
Z900 ground clearance is very low. Around 130-40mm. 200mm ground clearance is more than adequate in any condition. I had done ladakh off roading in 2016 when there was barely a good road, on a classic 350 with 170-80mm ground clearance. Rarely it touched any thing below with me and my pillion weighing about 150-160kg together.
Guys very good review, after seeing this video I’m fully confident to buy the the Himalayan 452. I have already booked it, eagerly waiting to ride this super off roader and adventure bik. Thanks guys for your superb review ❤😍
Bulu bhai, thanks for the detailed review...looking forward for a long ride review of the Himalayan 450 both on highway & trail plus most imp point when will RE introduce spoked wheels with tubeless tyres!

19:55 name me 1 guy who bent the allows in the 390adv. NONE. Bulu bhai dont listen to people and go watch chris's video on 390adv. the allows can take some beat like some serious beats.
I have one question about Himalayan 450. When watching videos of the Himalayan 450, I can't help but imagine that it looks like a mini version of the Triumph Tiger. So, in reality, does it truly resemble the Triumph Tiger?
Bro kuch log keh rhe h Himalayan 450 m engine knocking sound aa rha h... Aapko kuchh aisa problem ho rha h ? Toh please mention kro next video m.. ! Cuz im goin to book this bike engine knocking sound is there or no t ?
Bulu bhai mere pass ek ninja 1000 hai, interceptor hai aur benelli 302 hai. My dad rides them all more than I do, and we are looking for something new. Abhi tak test ride nahi liya hai par I have booked the himalayan 450, will sell off the interceptor and benelli. Want something that will take me off the road. Price is no object but need that ease of service and overall no hassle kind of bike. Aapke videos dekhkar lag toh raha hai ki mast hi hogi himalayan par apke videos aise hi mast hote hai ki app takle ko kangi lene bologe toh bhi le lega 😂 Is this a good upgrade over the interceptor 650? Or should I be considering any other bike. Accha another thing is ive just upgraded the interceptors woth alloy wheels, vredestien radials, and the RE LED headlamp unit. Should I even sell my interceptor, its been really great to my dad. The RE service network is great and so far they have been very good as in I live right next to a service center and in the beginning I took it there for any and all small problems and they really tried their best to take care of them. I've kinda been having the breakup goggles with the interceptor since its been such a dog overall and its hard to say goodbye. I really dont want to have buyers remorse after I get this please help.
I am using KTM Adventure 390 as my daily driver and also for touring for last 3 years now. I’ve used this machine in heavy traffic of Bangalore as well as on highways. It’s light weight, nimble and fast. There is definitely buzzing machine, not as smooth as its rivals, but not that annoying also.
agree, also I don't know how bulu bhai is saying himalayan 450 doesnt have vibes. I felt it has too much vibes on my test ride. maybe the test ride bike had problems
These people are paid by RE 😅
@@PraveenKumar-bm2sg it varies bike to bike
Altho should i go for this or the rs457 this is going to be my first bike, i ve ridden bikes never owned something in this category
Same thing's
RE Himalayan is an adventure touring bike. Question should be, how good is the bike in adventure touring category?
If u want a city bike, RE has Classic. Its non-capability in city cannot be its demerit.
When we look for a 'Do it all' bike in an adventure tourer then it is unfair to the bike and its makers.
Rightly said by Bulu bhai, 99% people dont do off roading. Hence, review videos should be made more relatable as to what the majority of riders do (and are capable of doing).
Like Bulu, even i am not a RE fan but I would appreciate the efforts and thought put by RE in Himalayan 450. Its indeed a value for money bike and is fairly capable of delivering what it promises.

Is ktm 390 suspension so stiff that we can feel back pain in Indian tier two cities road ..roads in small cities are like off road only, the plush level of hero Honda is wat I like but
In every video people for ktm 390 say at less speed it's very uncomfortable in 2gear rides and less comfortable.
Daily office and city usage.
I like looks of ktm 390 and adjustable suspension option.
But since every one saying hard seat and bad on low gear daily ride.
Please clarify I'm in dilemma.
@@derkonig2292 got the fuelx with BMC air filter, engine ice coolant and iridium spark plug and low end issues solved with amazing throttle response due to linear combustion mapped by the ECU. Of course a bit aggressive on the throttle as the 390 engine demands but I love that feeling where you can get out of traps with weight shifts and power. The suspensions work amazing when balanced with each other. Even the quick shifter and auto blipper is butter smooth in transition.the ecu also makes sure to not cut the engine off even if u are below 2k rpm on 3rd gear, it adapts .I love this sw ktm variant. Its a game changer
@@The1994arpanI've changed the sprocket, it still runs in high rpms but can do low speed runs in high gear, my milage also declined ofc 😂, apart from that still all stock with a reck for topbox. Love riding that machine.
@@prashantgautam4871 the sw version of 390 adv solves the stiff suspension issue, but stiff suspension is good for handling bike
Please remember we do not have tappets in RE Himalayan 450, like all other RE machines. This Sherpa engine is a completely new one. The valves are operated using chain and Cams.
All baba Ranchoddas here 🙇. We are talking about the ICE Himalayan not the Electric version. ICE without tappets. Understand that 'JOSH' is high for RE fanboys. Par itna bhi aage nahi nikle ki they can beat the Triple Alliance.
This has shims. Tappet adjustment interval is 30k kms. So service requirement is less.
@@sheikh_javed_yasin i own a hunter, and there is tappet noise
@@alakeshkakati984 not all engine noise is of tappets. But sometimes it may occur after hard riding or after the viscosity of engine oil goes low. Change engine oil after regular intervals.
@@alakeshkakati984lol hunter is a JOKE from RE 😂 now don’t tell me that u didn’t knew about it. It’s the most cheapest RE bike and useless bike sale it
This is only real review of Himalayan 450. Because every other youtuber is reviewing Himalayan 450 like its the best adv bike in the world and doesn't have any flaws.Thanks Bulu Bhai for honest review
Please do a similar comparison with Triumph Scrambler 400 X too as it's an equal competitor for Adventure X, Himalayan 450 with slightly better priced and also seems pocket friendly on maintenance
one thing everyone is refusing to acknowledge is RE is focusing its bikes for western market now... so this himalayn would be great if youre atleast 5'11 or 6 feet... the weight is not an issue for tall riders...
I agree but there is nothing as huge as an Indian market for an Indian manufacturer. So I guess first priority should be an Indian Customer.
Makes sense. No matter how much the RE fanboys troll online, the fact is no one buys one. RE is still one of the lowest selling bikes in India in terms of Sales. With the western market they have hit a sweet spot for time being.
RE seat is smaller than ADV
@@BuluBiker Indian market sure is huge .. but unfortunately RE I think doesn't take them seriously.. and solely focuses it's sales numbers in the west..... that's why it's really cheap in india.. and about 6k 7k in US ... so selling 1 bike there would be better than selling one in india i think
Very True. The Meteor650 suspension setup is not at all for Indian Roads
Add Fuelx lite to KTM 390 ADV and forget about competition.
I own 2021 ADV and recently added FuelX, it feels like a different bike with endless power and excellent low rpm torque.
Which one to add? Can u suggest one? any links?
Whenever I switch a bike, my whole point of purchasing a new bike is that it will pose challenges because that will help me learn new skills and make an upgrade, make me a better rider. So, the RE, despite its heavy weight should never be an issue for any rider who wants to make himself or herself better. What is the point of buying a new bike if you will continue to do the same old thing that you used to do on your old bike? I'm planning to switch from NS200 to Himalayan and I'm not at all scared. Yes, I'm not confident but over time, I will learn. I'm a hardcore KTM fan but I will still buy the Himalayan and not the ADV 390 because I've ridden the 390 a lot over the years and it never felt too difficult or big of jump when I compare it to NS200. And come on, history has taught us that riding has nothing to with height. If you are skilled, you know how to handle the bike. We have so many women riders who manage it, even racers who are of short height and without muscles but still do the impossible. Not to forget, so many nimble people ride higher CC heavy motorcycles on a daily basis. So, it's all about the will to learn new things and accept the challenge. A few crashes will happen and that is part and parcel of motorcycling -- it is a fact to be embraced and must be proceeded with caution but without too much fear.
Brother 🙏 thank you very much this is really very helpful for me ❤❤
I will upgrade from my ns160 to interceptor or himalyan
Regarding solo rides on Him 450 to Himalayan destinations, v must not forget that a lady from abroad has already done it as part of RE pre launch promotions...(Itchy Boots) And a total of 4500km of solo riding👍
Brother there's a difference between someone going solo few times a year and someone travelling solo everyday almost and that too being a professional content creator.
Eureka! The KTM 790's cruise control is now working on my KTM 390 Adventure. Proper OEM switch and coupler to coupler fitment. One more reason to stick with KTMs. Did the first test today. I am running a few more tests and will get back to you.
Where did you get the OEM switch and how much did it cost?
@@abhishekanand9522 I am still testing so can't attach a cost to it. Just using the switch won't work. It needs a module. The unit can cost as high as 70k-80k including customs unless you directly bring it from Canada or the US while flying back. Once I have thoroughly tested, I will check how best to deal with the customs issues. For now. Just rejoice that it works!
26:52 the reason which was given by the designers was to have that revving sound when you accelerated.. it was in bigbearcustoms video of Bosky sir
Another difference is the pride you feel when you see RE bikes in the U.S.
Hey Bulu,
One of the most in depth comparos between 2 motorbikes. I have not test ridden the Triumph 400x Scrambler, and am really curious house that will compete against the Himalayan 450. You forgot to mention the USD in the features while you were comparing both the bikes. And heat dissipation was also missed by you. Which bike will generate more heat in bumper - bumper traffic/in the city? Many thanks for taking the time to put all these points ot there for us. This only helps us being mode prepared before finalising on any motorbike
Ride safe & tc!!
Actually I see both the bikes heats up like anything in bumber to.bumber traffic. I felthe heat is kind of similar 😁
@@BuluBiker - Thnx for replying! Outs people like you we turn to for some frank & unbiased views. Let us know how the bike performs post the 1st service.
@@BuluBiker sir why we are not giving credit to dominor 400 that bikes is way much better then this both for touring purpose and in less money than both no one goes for offroading daily
@@storyofmusic926 Quality issues. Several Cases were reported for Engine Oil and Coolant Mixing, Engine Seizing, Ridiculous Vibration, Weak Alloy Wheels. As a Motorcycle, It is quite good but Weight now is over 190kgs. Overally Triumph Scrambler/Speed 400 and V-Strom 250 SX much better than Dominar
तारीफ तो रॉयल एनफिल्ड की कर रहे हो... लेकिन व्हिव्यूवर के दिमाग मे तो एडवेंचरही फिट हो गया l
nice friendly informative video 👍
Great comparison video. Both bikes are good. I feel it all comes down to ones height and strength to make a choice!
The equation will definitely change once KTM Adv 390 2025 is launched. Expecting for a version 2 video with RE Himalayan 450 vs KTM Adv 390 2025.
It will be 390 ADV 2025
That will cost 1.5x more.
Don't think that Adv 390 2025 will be more costlier than the current gen. It has the same engine has the new gen Duke and the price increase is not that much. The design is changed but 10-15k price hike compared to available Adv 390 variant.
Adv 390 all time love .i recently covered 900 km in just 15 hours .from manglore to mumbai
Bulu Bhai sab mind set ka game hai, ki Zanskar ride me bike problem karegi.
Sep 2022 me Meteor 350 se Kargil to Darcha via Padum ride ki thi "Alone" my age just 60
Bike performance se jyda mindset hona jaruri hai 🙏
Compare between Himalayan 450 vs Triumph scrambler 400
Triumph would feel better and compact.
I think most people in India mistake adv 390 as a tourer.. it's meant for off road.. trials.. rivers, jumping from a cliff, climbing trees kind.. whereas REs have always been for easy go cruise, tour etc.. there's a reason why adv 390 has a stiff suspension.. everyone is getting it wrong..
If you have done it before, the old Himalayan tank could be removed in a few minutes. I expected this model to make it easier as the air filter is beneath the tank, as the problem of connectors and hoses getting loose and dirt ingress is always there. Another problem with removing the tank is that it is heavy as hell when it is full.
Most needed video for Indian bikers ✅thank u so much Bhai
How often do u change air filter? It is a benefit rather than a demerit. You missed the point that the outer part of the fuel tank is lower, to bring the center of gravity lower. Air filter is a light component, so it was kept under the fuel tank. This is normal like you will see on so many motorcycles - KTM 1190 ADV, Triumph Tiger 800, Honda Frica Twin and so on.
Yesterday I have lifted te fuel tank on service n it was the most heaviest psrt on the bike 😂 and Yes the air filter is not at the tip of the Motorcycle its slightly lower to the bottom of the fuel tank u can checkout my recent reel on Instagram
I think you should have included the YESDI adventure and Benelli 502C, please i would like to see this comparison.
Along with the two which you have already compared that is KTM and RE Himalayan
I am 6ft 4in tall and ride an Electra TS 350. I was waiting for the 452 anxiously. The biggest letdown for me is the lack of a tubeless option and that too because of Indian government regulations. Europe will get the tubeless version. Why not us? We should demand a policy change. Don’t blame RE for this.
One improvement point for the videos in future Bulu bhai.
You have used words like isko usko to refer to bikes always, for people trying to listen only to audio becomes impossible to continue.
Its much better to use names.
One of the best comparisons indeed... I have a request bulu bhaiya. Please ak pillion comfort ki upar bhi video banado. Q ki aj main test drive liye with my pillion,and her feedback is there vibrations is too much even more than old Himalayan. I need your view on this specific point please.
May be Hooligan is the word that closely represents chhpari riders 😅.
Squid it is
this is the comparison i have been waited for❤❤thanks a lot bhai
Main issue in Himalyan would surely be CONSET!!
Conset? 😂😂
Bulu bhai please suggest kare ki ab kaun si bike lu meteor chala chala k bore ho gaya na to speed hai aur na handling itni acchi braking bhi OK ok hai ab mai upgrade karna chata hu please sugesst muje 2lakh me 5/7 hazar km chali hui ek interceptor-650 mil rahi aur ek highness 350 please batao kaun si lu please please reply karna aapka pakka wala fan ♥
bulu bhai, bhot acha content and comparison h just, ek chez or add krne ko try kriye dono ki riding footage, or jo bhi pro ya con aapne face kia, wo bi address kre.
Bullu bhai.. please also add after sales comparison between KTM & RE
i have my car for long highway trip, so i need a bike to enjoy my weekends doing offroad muds and going to waterfall in jungles nearby city and also for riding in a small hill station with narrow roads which requires easy to handle light weight, so i should definitely go for 390 adventure with adjustable suspension, thankyou bulu bhai, i was confused for many months ,this video cleared my confusions and helped me finalised my decision
I wished you guys talked about wind buffeting. Very important for touring. Otherwise very nice review.
Dada mai bahot jada Confuse hu ki kaun si bike lu mai already meteor 350 chala rha hu jo ek thek thak bike hai higway me confidence nahi rhata braking me dum nahi hai bus 60 se 80 pe chalna hai to theek hai mai ek upgrade chata hu ab kaun si bike lu maine himalyan chala k dekha pasand nahi aai lots off vibrations feel hota hai kon set handle awaj karta hai braking me hight jada hai aur weight bhi jada hai. please suggest best bike jisme muje traffic me 40% rahna padta hai baki touring karta hu mahine me do tin long trip hoti rahti hai like 3/400 km tak ka..
Interceptor-650
Honda cb-350
Speed 400/scrambler
Harley x440
Ya to wait karu thoda aur ek adh sal kuch behtar option k liye
Please reply Dada I am waiting meri hight bhi aapke barbar hi hai
Thanks, Bulu.. In which area are you located in Bangalore?
I'm surprised how big of an issue the weight is it's 177kg vs 196kg and so 19kg and even in that 3kg is from petrol, so at same petrol level it's approx 15kg heavier, I'm really surprised 8% of weight difference would make that big of a change
Why don't bikers do some squats n dead lifts....strange 😂😂
Minus 1 more kg for the backplate for topbox
bass wo hi nai, weight distribution matters, 19 kg extra weight agar thora upar ki taraf ho that can feel double heavier. The gs310 feels even lighter than ktm390adv. The yezdi feels like tripple heavier 😂
Very informative and detailed video, good job as always. Aur, Time stamp lagadiya karo Bulu bhai.
Yes yes will.do sir
@@BuluBiker thank you big brother 😊😊
Basically Dibakar is useless in this video.. even Bulu bhai realised that😂
😂😂
Mere class main v ek deewakar tha vo bhe useless tha 😂😂😂😂
Should have compared with the spoked version Bulu Bhai..
Thank you for this video Bulu Bhai,
You helped me make up my mind.. I'm buying Shares! 😅😜
Zabardast video. Video of the year. 👍🏻 Hope ki bulu bhai aap Himalayan 450 ka reise moto tyre review banao taaki humko ek hardcore trail tyre pe upgrade karne mein decision making mein ease ho.
Clean and well rounded review..
I own a Thunder bird twin spark 2012 model. Night mare maintaining the bike inspite of very smooth riding. As the bike becomes old we have to get it serviced by local mechanics and RE workshops dont have components. I am worried about existing himlayan 411 owners as RE stops manufacturing components after sometime. RE are not reliable.
Cons
Heavy weight 196 kg without any accessories and luggage
2. No tubeless tyres
3. Consol have many bugs
4. Mileage around 22 km
5. No tail lamps
6. No crash guard, it comes with accessories and you hve to pay extra
7. Joystick for console have a poor build quality
8. As we know RE bikes are not refined and reliable
9. Not everyone is dakar rally rider 😂 if you take this bike to off-road it will be pain in the ** neck 😅
10. Not at all for city rides specially in Mumbai traffic
11. If you connect your phone to console, you have to continue switch on your phone which drain your phone battery or else you hve to invest 10 to 15k to buy another phone
12. Low end performance is pathetic
13. Heating issue is very much
Pros
1. Brakes are good
2. Engine is powerful good for touring, but again no tubeless tyres
3. Service centre are available in many areas
4. Road presence are good
Think before you buy , don't watch RUclips videos, youtuber videos can only give you the product information, but if you take a test ride it wil be more understanding to buy a motorcycle
Wait for the new 390 adv, what do you think the weight will be?
Bulu Bhai a timeline to the video could have been nice. So that we could have skipped past some parts or a go to a particular part of the video. The whole content is great though.
Issi video ka intezaar tha aab confusion door hojayega
12:37 English me maneuvering bolthe Bhai
Bulu Bhai one small suggestion agar next time aise 1 hr ka video banate tho bikes ka naam lena everytime kyunki itana bada video hum commute karne time dekhte confuse hojata hai kounsi bike ki baat hora hai karke pls if possible karna next time just a suggestion kyun commute karte karte sunnte tho commute bhi aacha jaayega aaur video bhi dekhliya jaisa hoga
Bullu Bhai, one feedback. Since such long videos are also heard by people as podcast please always say the name of the bike when you're choosing one over the other. "Muje ye pasand hai woh pasand hai" can't understand which bike you're talking about if you're listening to the audio only.
Very nice suggestion brother.. thanks a lot for highlighting😁
Bulu Bhai, Im planning to buy KTM Adventure 390. Took a test ride but found lot many vibrations on foot pegs. Specially on the roght one.
Took another test ride, this one was very smooth.
Now, I am kind of confused.
Pls tell me if u observed any vibration issues.
Highway mein 100+ mein jab chalta hai bike heavy rehne se planted rehte road se confidence v rehta hai. Wahi ktm bahut zyada hi light hai.
Bulu Bhai, I usually choose 80% highway touring and 20% off-roading. Uske liye All New Himalayan or Super Meteor/SG 650?
Don't go for super meteor bro too much tail bone problem. Go for Himalayana
Very nice video😊. Really confused. I need a do it all bike but my 90 %rides will be in city. Therefore I know cb350 would be good enough but still someone like Himalayan more. Don’t know which one to go for. Could you suggest?
Even CT100 is good enough. Test rode it yesterday and it does the job well. I am in my quest to search for a second two wheeler for short commutes. If you love the Himalayan just go for it. But if you just like it just the way I do despite being a KTM owner, do some ground research yourself. It sounds funny but I would suggest make a list of your requirements in a pocket diary. Test the bikes back to back.
Please ride new KTM 390 Adventure, it is better than its previous version. ECU got new maps it runs smoother than before , less frequent gear shift , TCS and other option remains in its previous state. you will definitely like it. with some upgrade it can really runs buttery smooth and runs in low rpm better.
Great content ❤
Bullu bhai can you suggest some tyres for meteor. My tyres skid on mud. I am planning a pan India ride in it?
Its never about the bike. Its all about the owner how he rides and feels.
perfect review... thanks bulu bhai...
Can you please compare the weight you feel while removing it from both side and main stand
Between Interceptor 650 and new Himalayan ?
Interceptor feels even more heavy
@@BuluBiker if as you said, Himalayan is an elephant, then Interceptor is surely a mammoth.
@@RosZiOviC ha ha so Himalayan after u sit on the bike doesn't feel so heavy, interceptor even while moving here n there feels heavy as I had experienced that for a year😁
Nice review! Finally, weight matters the most. Rest is all about the choice.
Bullu bhai, pillion comfort for long distance touring kaunsa sahi rahega. Most of the bikes don't focus on pillion comfort for long journeys. I've heard CB500X was one of them which gives superb pillion comfort but which bike in this price point is best for pillion comfort?
Bulu bhai very unbaised and informative review, which most of us want. Thanks 👍
You have noticed all the fine details of the Himalayan 450, I really appreciate your take on this.
I am facing a dilemma after test riding the Himalayan, the Scrambler 400x and I am looking to replace my Dominar 400. I love my Fury (Dominar400) but the main reason why I am in the market trying to replace it with a better machine is because I am looking for better more forgiving suspensions, an even more exhilarating performance from the engine or at least the same level of performance that I get on Fury and I ride alone 5 days of the week to my workplace but as soon as the weekend comes I ride with a pillion my wife and then my Fury's stiff suspension, poor weight management and the less turning radius becomes even more troublesome for me within the city.
Now the Scrambler 400x, is ticking all the boxes but the only crucial thing that it misses out for me on is the Engine performance - the low end is mind Blowing, very easy to filter in the traffic, picks up on any gear no matter how the speed is.. but the TOP END is simply not enough to entice me away from my Fury, after 90-100kmph, the engine feels restricted, strained and buzzy as f***. But aside from this, every small detail on 400x is fantastic be it the suspension setup, the seats, the seat height, handling is amazingly easy. I don't really mind the instrument cluster.
Now the Himalayan felt exciting, and was easily the most visceral bike as it has the performance with a lot of buzzy-ness, the suspensions are stiffer than the Scrambler 400x but still were very comfortable than my Fury. The instrument cluster has best in class features. Seats are spacious and comfortable for both me and my pillion, handling is again not as easy as the Scrambler but manageable within the city and confident inspiring on the highways. It doesn't really solve all my issues with the dominar but it feels like a different kind of flavoured bike that I can explore and have fun with.. The suspension and turning radius issues are solved for me coming from the Dominar- both me and my pillion are happy on that front, but the city riding, the extreme buzz on high speeds are a big problem for the both of us but at least it has the capability of doing those kind of speeds unlike the Scrambler 400x. Also, the weight management is still the same if not worse than my Dominar 400.
I love my Dominar 400, and that's why I am in this dilemma of which is a better proposition for my above mentioned troubles. For reference I am 6ft 105 kgs and my pillion is 60kgs. I only tour thrice in an year and I ride every day for at least 10-20 kms, exhilarating, very comfortable and easy to manage on a day to day basis are the key attributes for a replacement bike to my Fury. Please do suggest.
RE did a great job tbh, with the tubeless tyres in gen2 himalayan would be a great option.
I really want other competitors to come in too! TVS ke paas option tha ek adventure nikalne ka, 310gs type ka kuch... with the new r3 and mt03, yamaha can bring in Tenere300, or even the tenere15 😂 no one talks about the suzuki 250 gstorm. Honda is also mission out! honda is not even serious about india. that 200x is a comedy. Yezdi should stop selling their adventure, absolute worst. Hero is also very late in the market.
y showing hate to Yezdi bro... they have already rectified their mistakes in the 2023 version of their bikes. Just because the initial impression is not good for a bike doesn't mean its an uncapable bike. Remember what happened to RE in its initial days, when they launched their initial products.
I absolutely love their other products. Just the adventure was bad. I hope yezdi comes up with a good product in near future. and I will soon test ride the adventure, lets see.@@ajaikrishnajm9146

Bulu vai hai tho trust hai. If this man is giving you review means u can trust him no paid review
Very comprehensive comparison. Ty bulu bhai😊
How can u compare a trouble bike like RE with KTM ?? 😅
Why not compare brand new bikes from both manufacturers. The himalyan you guys have right there is a fresh model compared to old ktm. The brake issue and other stuff pointed out seems to be the wear after used and depend on the owner’s maintenance.
I already have a GT650 which I use for both touring and city ride but you cant go like more than 350km in a single day because the way it is built and I don't want to change its ergonomics. Don't get me wrong I love it to death since its the first bike I purchased on my own. So, I want to buy a 2nd bike for touring and I want it to be Himalayan 450. I took a test drive and its just awesome. I don't mind the weight since I'm already using a GT650 and 6 feet tall. But the only thing pulling me back as of now is the availability of tubeless rims. I want to buy it with the tubeless rims as standard or when they are available as an accessory. Hope RE makes them available soon. Fingers crossed.
I am confused between gt and adv 390 what would you recommend me to choose as a first bike
@@ashwin2263If this is your very first bike then I would suggest neither of them. Gt650 has weight and power adv 390 has lower weight and power. Both of them should be considered as an upgrade not as the first bike in my opinion. I would rather suggest you to go for ns200. It was my first bike as well. Even I was thinking of duke 390 but when I took a test drive of ns200 I was shocked because if 200 is so quick then what will 390 be. So stick with 200 and later down the line after 3-4 years then upgrade to a higher capacity.
Bulu bhai scram 411 me standard double stand nahi ata hay, mujhe as a accessories lagana para, ap ne bola spoke wheel may RE deta hay, but scram 411 may nahi diya

Most awaited comparison.❤
35:03 my eyes goes to the green color bike standing there which is not in the comparison. Which bike is this? I am a new bike enthusiast 😉
Kawasaki z900 bruhh
More ad for paid products and less about the review, and it's OIS that goes bad due to vibes.
Himalayn Prebook kiya he
But delivery ke liye showroom se koi update nhi mila he
Prebook ka process explanation dijiye
Regarding air filter,, RE had packed it, so more life and less cleaning. In KTM, more cleaning required as it is open
Z900 ground clearance is very low. Around 130-40mm. 200mm ground clearance is more than adequate in any condition. I had done ladakh off roading in 2016 when there was barely a good road, on a classic 350 with 170-80mm ground clearance. Rarely it touched any thing below with me and my pillion weighing about 150-160kg together.
Guys very good review, after seeing this video I’m fully confident to buy the the Himalayan 452. I have already booked it, eagerly waiting to ride this super off roader and adventure bik. Thanks guys for your superb review ❤😍

Bulu bhai, thanks for the detailed review...looking forward for a long ride review of the Himalayan 450 both on highway & trail plus most imp point when will RE introduce spoked wheels with tubeless tyres!
Bulu bhai jo jo bate aapne batai wo ek dum Sach bataya.. Mai do salo se meteor 350 bike chala rha hu jo ki already ek OK ok bike hai socha upgrade kar lu to test ride lene chala gaya ab suno aage ki kahani
1. Jaise hi bike dekha look ok ok hai head turning nahi hai.
2.jaise hi seat me baitha ab sidhi hi na ho meri hight 5.7 hai weight 75kg uske baad bhi badi massakt lagi sidha karne me..
3.jaise ride karne laga road pe leke aya 2nd gear trrfic me kai bar stall hui jo ki saaf pata lag rha hai ye Re ka engine nahi jiske liye Re Jani jati hai low end miss hai but OK ok hai auro ko compare me lekin yadi aap 650 ya 350 alreay chala rahe ho jo ki ek Long store engine hai to aapke liye upgrade karna bewkufi ho sakti hai handling sahi nahi hai single rider k baad bhi.. yadi aap 5.10 ya 6 feet k ho to le lo lekin handling fir bhi sahi nahi hai thoda consious hoke chalana padta hai jiske karan riding pleasure miss ho jata hai aisa lagta hai ki jaise koi kaam kar rahe ho.
4.engine to sahi hai but long stroke ki jisko aadat hai wo nahi chala payega ek normal bike ka feel ata hai yadi aap already Re chala rhe ho to thoda isko jada rev karna padta hai latency feel hota hai aap ye samjh ho yadi jada rev karna pad rha pad rha hai to matlab milege bhi kam hi milega milege aapko 650 cc k aas paas milne wala hai and ride karne pe heat bhi accha khasa feel ho rha tha liquid cool hone k baad bhi but 3rd gear k baad ek dum bavdi si ho jati hai bike jaise engine me asli power aa gaya ho jabardast power feel hota hai aur vibraton bhi virbration feel hoti hai Re ki sari bikes me vibration feel hota hai chae jo bhi ho mere hisab se Indian mafactur jo bhi car bikes banate hai sabme vibration hai chae mahindra ho Tata ho ya royale enfiled ho wo refinement nahi rahti engine me but naya engine hai kai sari improvement le k aayega samay k sath so thoda sabar se kaam lena chaiye sabko 10/20 hazar mahngi na hone k darr se apne 4 lakh na fasaye thoda ruke logo k ownership review jane aur fir apni hard money fuke.
5. Ride k dauran isme kon set awaj awaj karta hai aur jo mai bike ride fornt brake marte hi mai do salo se meteor chala rha hu aaj tak handle kahi se aawaj nahi karta to socho kya hi quality Control hai..
6.ride quality kafi behatr hai gear change karne me jerk nahi lagte jaise meteor ya classic me lage hai thanks for slipper clutch and suspension bahot smooth hai pata hi nahi lagta kaha kya tha ye laga lo ki baki sab me 80 % pata lagta hai to isme 20% pata lagega..
7. Ride k dauran feel to uncha uncha ata hai suv k barbar chaloge aap but fati bhi rahegi ki kahi rukna pad jaye to sambhalne me short hight wale mere jaise.
8.clutch slipper hone k baad bhi aisa lag rha hai ki normal clutch hai ajeeb hi hai na to wo orignal clutch wala feel ata hai na aur na slipper wala bich me rah gaya ye clutch to..
.Conclusion maine to bike book nahi kari kyuki muje kahi se bhi ek point bhi aisa strong nahi mila jiske liye kuch socha jaye ulta leke fasne wali baat aur hogi aur baad me leke ka regret hoga ki kyu liya to mai to filahl apni meteor se khus hu yadi muje upgrade karna hoga to 650 me jaunga ya to honda highness 350 me.. Thank you ♥

Bulu Bhai aplog yezdi adventure ko to bhul hi Gaye....😮
I have one question about Himalayan 450.
When watching videos of the Himalayan 450, I can't help but imagine that it looks like a mini version of the Triumph Tiger. So, in reality, does it truly resemble the Triumph Tiger?
Nope. Looks a lot different than Tiger. Tiger looks much premium to the naked eyes.
When it's in main stand or on road looks like mini tiger.. I have seen it
you could have included scrambler 400x-
RE 450- is center of gravity high ? and what about weight distribution ?
Scrambler we don't have access now, but will get soon
Bro kuch log keh rhe h Himalayan 450 m engine knocking sound aa rha h... Aapko kuchh aisa problem ho rha h ? Toh please mention kro next video m.. ! Cuz im goin to book this bike engine knocking sound is there or no t ?
IP rating of new instrument cluster?? Any water or dust resistance provided by RE
Bulu bhai mere pass ek ninja 1000 hai, interceptor hai aur benelli 302 hai. My dad rides them all more than I do, and we are looking for something new.
Abhi tak test ride nahi liya hai par I have booked the himalayan 450, will sell off the interceptor and benelli.
Want something that will take me off the road. Price is no object but need that ease of service and overall no hassle kind of bike. Aapke videos dekhkar lag toh raha hai ki mast hi hogi himalayan par apke videos aise hi mast hote hai ki app takle ko kangi lene bologe toh bhi le lega 😂
Is this a good upgrade over the interceptor 650? Or should I be considering any other bike.
Accha another thing is ive just upgraded the interceptors woth alloy wheels, vredestien radials, and the RE LED headlamp unit. Should I even sell my interceptor, its been really great to my dad. The RE service network is great and so far they have been very good as in I live right next to a service center and in the beginning I took it there for any and all small problems and they really tried their best to take care of them.
I've kinda been having the breakup goggles with the interceptor since its been such a dog overall and its hard to say goodbye. I really dont want to have buyers remorse after I get this please help.
Sir, when will the Himalayan 450 with lower seat height available?
450 himalayan is best... ktm ko kuch Naya krna hoga design ke upar. Bulu bhai lots and lots of love from arunachal pradesh..
