Nice video...nice Bike. I think, 24,5 hp and 125 km p/h are enough for traveling and have fun. You don´t need a big GS for 15000 $ . Greatings from Germany.
I completely understand why they gave it that single 400cc engine. But can we please have a Himalayan 650 or a alternative more adventure styled interceptor design
@@GM-he3um 500, 600 why? Itchy boots seemed to manage quite well with 411cc. If you want a bigger engine buy a KTM, or a Versys or Tenere etc and then count the number of times you use full throttle. But whatever you ride, ride safe.
The real topspeed messured with gps of the Himalayan is 135 km/h indicated 137 Km/h on the speedometer. I like this bike very much to do a huge trip arround the Earth ... As pensionated International Truckdriver who went into 46 different countries I learned that 90km/h is enough to get anywhere on this planet ...

Many places where they can help as something goes wrong as the bike is very simple ... This is the real travel bike believe me or not ....
In India they just released the new version with tripper navigation display and Minor changes and it's lot more refined I expect you guys will get it in September
Thanks so much for the video...just subscribed. I've been jonesing for one of these since I first started following Itchy Boots. Love the sound of the little chugger! I'm 6' 3" though, and I'll be so disappointed if I feel like circus bear on it.
I'm 6'1 and every now and again my knee pads touched the engine bars, took rubbers out of pegs and wola, don't touch anymore, gives a couple of inches!
You need to put a NGK CR7EIX 7385 Iridium spark plug in it, it will eliminate the cold start stall. Also SRC Moto has the best quality accessories for the Himalayan. Use Motul 15w50 300v 4T oil and the bike will run amazing.
Put a couple of thousand miles on it, becomes a looser better bike. Engine/gears/brakes all become looser, smoother and sharper! Hard to explain, have fun it's a great bike I love mine 2 years on!
@@Captain_Laser I think it's relative to where you live, in the USA where the highways are straight for miles upon miles with a speed limit of 80mph and semis doing just that I agree, it's definitely under powered! But here in the UK where the roads are small, twisty and with a max speed 70 and lorrys limited to 56mph its definitely powerful enough. I was out yesterday and not once did I red line it, not once did I max it out (not even close) and not once did I look for more power 👍 heck 2 weeks ago I rode 750 miles in 3 days, and still didn't notice the lack of power! But I'm a plodder, a scenery absorber! If you want more power maybe the gs 650? Nice bike! I just love all the other elements about it! Happy riding bud!
@@danwilson8390 I'm in search of my first bike, and I decided to get the Himalayan. Thinking about the fact that in Italy the roads are very narrow and in the majority of the times the speed limit is around 60-80 Km/h. It could be a good option. It seems a very easy and comfortable bike to ride. And it can easily be customized
Martin Martinov só it’s going to be your first bike but you say it’s underpowered and could do with more bhp. Perhaps you’d better ride it for a while before saying it needs more power?
If you don't like the REH, you could try the Honda CB500X although that is not so much off road, more like a touring bike with some moderate off road capabilities, The REH has enough power for what it is designed for, not as fast as bigger bikes but will get you anywhere you might want to go. You need torque more than power in serious terrain. @@Captain_Laser
I think if you stick to the 55 mph highways on a trip for 2 weeks that that would be fine for anything like the Trans American Trail or something. Do an hour here and there on the freeway but you don't see anything on the freeway routes. Wish it had a 6th gear but it's not screaming at 70 mph at all. 👍
That type of trail is typical of what you have for most moto camping trips. Good it wasn't very muddy and making you have to slow up too much. 👍 Nice video 👏
The pictures I've seen of the 2021 it has the turn indicator GPS thing, the Tripper, I guess it's called, that's on the Meteor 350. Why doesn't your's have it?
@@BurtoniMotors That's a bummer, that was supposed to be on the 2021 bike, but I'll bet they wait for the 22 model here in the states? Well, that just talked me out of getting one now. I'll wait till next year and if the price takes a jump because of the tripper, there will always be left over 2021 models sitting around to buy! I think I read it will come in at the same price as the ones without the Tripper.
doesnt the 2021 have the colored fuel tank frame? I’m lost 😅. Could the US/EU 2021 model be the 2020 Indian version and the upcoming 2021 indian version (with colored fuel tank and back seat frame) be our next 2022 model?
I like the Himalayan, some ppl complain it’s too heavy for off road. If that is your focus, you should try the Kawasaki KLX230 dual sport. Cheaper, faster, better on dirt... air cooled. However, it looks like a dual sport, so there’s that. Great video.
The concept is brilliant but we already have the DR650 which is far better. The RE needs more bhp, everything else is superb, I see the build quality being raved about. The FJ07 is about $2=2.5K more with 68 bhp. No way the RE is $4-5K out the door they are $6.5 or more resale will be dismal. BUT all seats have butts, so these will have their cult.
This was the MY 21 that was released in 2020 - the new cockpit is a MY22 that was released in 2021. In addition, the USA is the last country to get the updates.
I think the 2021 is the BS6 standard, the new standard for Indian emissions. The BS4 would be the 2020 and older model, unless I’m misunderstanding something. All the Indian market reviews identify the 2021 as the BS6.
Yep, in India they have the BS6 model due to emission standards. In the USA we got the BS4, which has the switchable ABS, shorter kickstand, etc of the BS6 without the modification to the engine.
The choke on a CARBURETTOR is used to make the air/fuel mix richer for cold starting. Why you've got to adjust the idle for cold starting on a fuel injected engine is a bit of a mystery ?
Just making an assumption based on my experience with other fuel injected vehicles. But this bike has a throttle cable, so no throttle by wire control. And they probably didn't add the complexity of a bypass system to automatically control the RPM. One of my old bikes was the same way, you had to hold the throttle open when cold or it would stall until it warmed up (Buell X1) which was fuel injected but didn't have idle control @@geoffg46
That you did not know whether pushing something on the instrument cluster was toggling a readout or not, advertised that you did NOT read the manual first, how manly of you. Some things that I would like to have known is whether it is heavier, lighter or the same as last year, the first gear speed at which maximum torque occurs, and what percentage of that torque is available at half that speed. How you "felt" about the gear ratios, were they too close, too far apart, just right?
Hey John, appreciate the comment. Unfortunately no manual was given so I tried to learn on the fly. Weight, same (+/-2lbs) as last year. The torque chart and figures are published online, I can tell you that the gear ratios felt fine maybe the final gear would be nice to have it a bit longer but no complaints.
@@BurtoniMotors Huh, I never realised this, actually scrolled down in the comments to see if anyone had already commented this, it's BS6 in Europe too. Your bike also has some features only available in the BS6, such as the colour, maybe you guys retain the BS4 engine without the additional cat. Just weird though that it has some changes and not others, more like BS4.5 :D
There used to be a better bike out there, it was the BMW G650gs, I've just sold my himalayan and bought a used one, a much nicer engine though harder to service.
@sahebmails Hi, I bought my Himalayan used with 1270 miles on it for £3200 with panniers, I had it a 13 months and rode it 3000 miles and sold it for £2900 without panniers. I loved it down the single track lanes but overtaking on bigger roads wasn't really safe, handled ok tho, brake at the front is rubbish.
@Prasanta Rajkumar well you're clearly amazing, it was just my opinion. A used bmw g650gs is all you can buy anyway but they do manage 100000miles on those engines and are a far better balanced bike.
@Prasanta Rajkumar I liked the Himalayan but and could have bought a 1200 new if I wanted but what I did want was something like the Himalayan but more powerful and without that dreadful rattle. I will give you that the maintenance is simple and far easier than the bmw, especially the valves. Why RE didn't try and rip off some of the ideas from the G650 I don't know, a simple 650 single would have been far better even if only 38hp, 24 hp may be enough in India but in the UK every commuter car could embarrass you if you dared to try overtaking.
Horses for Courses. I had a 650 Pegasso, similar to the BMW 650 , a brilliant bike but it was water cooled (added complexity) and in the years I owned it, I never saw the spark plug, god knows where that thing was. It had twin carbs (on a single cylinder, I kid you not) and a dry sump, the dipstick was around the top yoke and I never quite sussed how to check the oil level, it always seemed to be at different levels. I'm looking at the Himalayan for the SIMPLICITY of the thing and knowing that I could keep it running myself with simple tools
Rides an adventure bike and is surprised to find that it is... adventurous. Then bails on the ride as soon as finding the trail. Opts to go get coffee instead. Has probably sold bike by now to invest in Starbucks.
Well aren’t you just a negative Nancy? I’m sure you missed 1/5th of the video where I’m on single track trails? Or the part where I’m living in Michigan and there are not a lot of off-road options around here so finding the trails was my adventure for the day. Also, what’s wrong with coffee? Last time I checked it’s pretty dam amazing. Thanks for stopping by, be a bit more positive next time. K thanks.
@@tangoindiamike9189 Sounds like she thought this was a video-call and was explaining to Burtoni? For we saw a man enjoying riding his motorcycle through a trail for a bit then getting a drink after. What do you do differently, manly mans man?
@@SpaaaaceMaan Well, before every ride, I warm up by growing 3 more inches to my beard. Then I ride a single wheeley from my house to the trailhead miles away. I rip through miles of trails without ever wiping out or dropping my bike. I only stop if I see a group of fair maidens who need to be completely satisfied sexually, and I satiate their desires beyond their wildest dreams. On the way home, I pre-wash my bike by riding handle bar deep through a river, and I air dry my clothes as I ride, no matter what the temperature may be. As soon as I get home, I get off my bike and kick my dog. Then I go inside, down a bottle of whiskey in one swig, and light my farts for shits and giggles. I watch RUclips videos for awhile, and if they're pansy, I tell them so in the comments. Even my wife notices when they're gay.
@@BurtoniMotors I'm just waiting for the BS6 in my country, because the BS4 had so many problems. And when I saw you writing BS4, immediately a light turned on in my head. Here the upgrades comes only with the BS6. Thanks
@@BurtoniMotors because I saw some other reviews about this bike, and it seems to struggle at higher speeds. I think at least 10 hp more would make it a little better
It will do 80 just fine and is surprisingly really good off road. I've had mine going up some really steep rocky stuff and it never bogged down. I have a 2020, the abs sucks off road and going down the steep rocky hills.
@Des M. delivered late and not road worthy ,panniers not fitted correctly, blown headlight bulb signs of arcing on terminal cover, overfilled with oil , oil seal gasket put in wrong oil on my drive , they replaced the battery with a dud ,cost me £50 this is all over 12 months side panel stud missing, i think they gave a junkie a couple of quid to service it, and i am sure there is something i have forgotten about , little bit fly with battery i'm sure !
@@BurtoniMotors ok brother ,its just that while launching it here in india they said it will available all over the world in the same here.might be due to pandemic situation.
BSVI is a requirement in India, why add that Catalytic converter in a country that does not require it from a compliance perspective. Anyways it is something assembled at the end.
@@soaruk3697 Correct, the USA is the last country to receive new Royal Enfield models. That's why India/Asia received the 2020 Himalayans at the beginning of last year but we did not see them until September/October.

Hey Peter, for 2021 America received the BS4 which has all the upgrades of India’s BS6 without the change in emission standards. Thanks.
@@BurtoniMotors Sorry, my fault.
@@BurtoniMotors I'm just waiting for the BS6 in my country, because the BS4 had so many problems. And when I saw you writing BS4, immediately a light turned on in my head. Here the upgrades comes only with the BS6. Thanks
24.5 HP is too low
Why do you think that?
@@BurtoniMotors because I saw some other reviews about this bike, and it seems to struggle at higher speeds. I think at least 10 hp more would make it a little better
It will do 80 just fine and is surprisingly really good off road. I've had mine going up some really steep rocky stuff and it never bogged down. I have a 2020, the abs sucks off road and going down the steep rocky hills.
@@SineMacula oh, ok... Anyway I started looking forward for an Harley Davidson 883 iron. It's gorgeous
@@Captain_Laser I would not even LOOK at a Harley Davidson!
Bro that's bs6 model not bs4
Hey bud, it's actually a BS4. The BS6 is for the Indian market only, in America our 2021 model is the BS4.
do not buy one from Port Talbot UK you might regret it !
@Des M. delivered late and not road worthy ,panniers not fitted correctly, blown headlight bulb signs of arcing on terminal cover, overfilled with oil , oil seal gasket put in wrong oil on my drive , they replaced the battery with a dud ,cost me £50 this is all over 12 months side panel stud missing, i think they gave a junkie a couple of quid to service it, and i am sure there is something i have forgotten about , little bit fly with battery i'm sure !
@Des M. the bike is good its the dealer i went to, he spoiled my experience of a first time brand new bike !
THATS NOT 2021 IT WILL AVAILABLE FROM THIS YEAR.
Royal Enfield dropped it off at my house and called it a 2021... it's a 2021.
@@BurtoniMotors ok brother ,its just that while launching it here in india they said it will available all over the world in the same here.might be due to pandemic situation.
India and Australia got this model this year, North America are a year behind
@@paulcregan4647 as I said the pandamic effect.
BSVI is a requirement in India, why add that Catalytic converter in a country that does not require it from a compliance perspective. Anyways it is something assembled at the end.
This is not the 2021 model.....................
In the USA, it's the 2021 model.
@@BurtoniMotors must be a year behind the rest of the world then.............
@@soaruk3697 Correct, the USA is the last country to receive new Royal Enfield models. That's why India/Asia received the 2020 Himalayans at the beginning of last year but we did not see them until September/October.
hopelessly underpowered.
bs6
Nope. BS4.
Great review!!
