Thank you very much for that detailed review. I‘m 6‘4“ myself, so it helped me a lot to see a big guy on this bike. Can‘t wait to get on the bike now!
Thanks for watching
I test rode one 2 weeks ago and it's excellent, could'nt fault it one bit, even the horn sounds good. For non 'lofty' riders I'm 5ft 10' and can flat foot it and it's very comfortable.
All modern Enfields are easy to ride and fun. To me that is all I want. 40bhp is plenty today, torque at low rpm is what you need. and these Adventure bikes have taken over from belly on tank sports bike, built only for fast riding for an hour. I have a lovely Meteor 350 and always ride two up, I think this what I need for touring.
So true.....thanks for watching
It certainly could be...thanks for watching
Spot on.
Had the old Himalayan model and loved it apart from lack of power on dual carriageways and motorways. Looks like that wont be a problem on this model. Great review!
It's night and day better....thanks for Watching
It looks like a motorcycle to enjoy secondary roads and rocky paths, it is exactly the motorcycle I would buy if I could be free to do what I wanted, but at the moment I have obligations with my family. Thank you for the video and take care.
You are welcome..thanks for watching
Great bike for learning off road skills I would think.
Great video
Thanks for watching
That’s got enough power for pommy roads ,old jimmy Aust your a gentle man sir
Cracking looking bike. Well worth the money.
I agree...thanks for watching
Great review, as per usual, just real riding ..... excellent!!! Have to say, I'm not generally a fan of adventure type bikes but this one does grab my attention, especially in the black and gold. Haven't seen one in the flesh yet, my local dealer, in Bristol, is still waiting. I've had my Hntr 350 (Rebel Red) for just over a year now and I can't get enough of it ...... enjoyed your review of the Hntr, too. Love your Cornish countryside and like your little test route too. Can't believe that river across the dual carriageway is mains water, I thought it was just run off from fields ....... All the best, Phil
I love it......thanks for watching
Take it off road Lofty . That’s where it shines.
It was a little too new.....thanks for watching
Nice review, I took one out, fantastic bike, which makes you search out the twisties 😎
It certainly is...thanks for watching
Thanks for this good review. I have a RE Classic 350 and I am thinking about trading it in for this 450. Love seeing the English countryside. Thanks again.....Sal : )
You are welcome.....thanks for watching
Really enjoyed this review 👌 mine arrives in dealership tomorrow for a saturday collection and at 6ft 1 and 16st myself you've just reaffirmed what i thought when i test rode it.
I did though feel it was very vibey but thats the single cylinder i guess 🤷♂️
Thanks for watching
This looks much better than the earlier ones. Mate of mine has the '21 air cooled version and i'm surprised how slow it is. He's not a big guy and it can't even hold 70 on the dual carriageways.
@@tim3638 built for the gravel tracks of India......this water cooled version is far superior.....thanks for watching
Such a gent.. great review. I like this 🎉
Me too....thanks for watching
great vid lofty
Thanks for watching
Lofty, that was so useful as I am 6'3" and was wondering if this awesome bike is to small, I am going to take a look at getting one. Cheers buddy 🏍
It's a great bike.....thanks for watching
great motorcycle
Thanks for watching
Nice review, thanks. Although I don't understand everything, you do have quite an accent, haven't you? 😁I'm also 6"5' tall (the second part you always mention when telllling your height, didn't get) and am looking forward to do a testride.
You'll love it....thanks for watching
Thanks for watching
Don't know if it was just my device but the audio was quite low lofty. The RE is a much more serious bike than the style exercised Triumph 400 and much more to my tastes. Like you the grey does it no favours but the black one really pops, nice review as usual.
Love the black one too.....thanks for watching
Bang for buck it’s pretty good and it dose every thing it says on the tin ,one thing I like it’s not covered in plastic it’s not a twin but you can still take it any where they took the 411 a lot of country’s this is faster more power
I love it, great bike....thanks for watching
Would this be better than the Honda nx500 you do appear to get more for your money and I guess this would be better off road than the Honda I have a 2019 cb500x with the single front rotor normal front forks. I always fit crash bars and a centre stand and hand guards. I guess I am never going to know until I go test ride both bikes back to back.
It's down to personal taste....you need to test ride....the nx500 is a very good bike...but.....thanks for watching
Sounds like you had fun.
Lol always do....I like this one....thanks for watching
Too dear for me, you can get an old one brand new for around £3800 they still selling them while stocks last. You can have a brand new NX500 for about £1000 more than this, on PCP not much more a month, id opt for that if i wanted a reliable economical bile. Too many saying Vibrations can be felt through HB and Pegs, think you would defo have to ride one to decide? Hope RE have not messed up a cult following bike with this model. I hope it sells well, but atm im not too sure?
It is a cracking looking bike, but you can get a Honda cl500 for the same price with current promotions
@neilanderson2374 yeah and I think the cl 500 looks great tbh, just not sure on the new himalayan atm and I've owned a RE before and was a great bike but I think a Honda is a better bike wether that a cb500 version or a CF version?
@@neilanderson2374All depends on where you live I guess. The NX500 costs twice as much as the Himalayan in it's home market.
@@michaelwade1092 seems like this himalayan is more off road oriented
@@pitchwife7573it’s a damn good on road bike too, and yes I have ridden it 😉
Never seen so many chem trails in the sky

Nice Review. You are an inspiration for me.❤
Thanks for watching
Hi I really enjoyed the video I am thinking of getting one it wood be my only bike so do you think the vibration is bad or not a problem and part of the fun of the bike I have subscribe
It does vibrate, but has character in spades.....thanks for watching
Great review lofty, love your vids, got to say I am surprised by the price, and not in a good way, £5700 seems about a grand too much for a very basic a2 level bike, I think Royal Enfield will lose customers to the much better and cheaper Triumph 400s
Look forward to your next vid
I don't think those bikes are in same category. 400s are road bikes. 450 is an adventure bike.
Nope 400s is not better about the same
I think u haven't tried both bikes, re is way better than triumph 400 in many ways,
It's about how the bike makes you feel, personaly I realy like the RE.....if you prefer the Trumpet go get one...it's the RE for me....
You priced it wrong mate, the standard in Kaza Brown is £5,750, this model you are on is £100 more
my 450 himi goes around 140kmph tops❤
it goes 160kmph.
Depends on the weight of the driver and what it’s carrying

Thanks for watching
1:01 lets call it Huawei :P
How hard is it to pick up if you drop it ,pleas comment sir your ok for a Pom
Luckily I didnt drop the brand new bike, so I couldnt comment....But it is only a small light weight naked bike...I would imagine it wouldnt be a problem......thanks for watching
How does it compare to NX 500?
More character and better looking.....probably attract a similar customer......thanks for watching
What are maintenance service intervals?
Overall, the Himalayan 450 has 3,000 mile / 5,000 km or 6-month service intervals. At every service, you need to do a comprehensive inspection. But you only need change the oil and filter, plus the air filter, every two services - 6,000 miles / 10,000 km or every year.
@@theloftybiker3090 more aggressive than the 411. I thought better
Is it working with me I had 1.66 cm pleas answer me
I would say at 1.66 m you would need to try before you buy.....thanks for watching
How old are you Mr. John? You are an inspiration for older guys.😊
I am 63 years young...thanks for watching
Not Brybey, Bybre as in By -Brembo brakes
Seriously overhyped. Really disappointing test ride. Horrible vibes, rock hard seat, meh styling, no hand guards, hideous joystick screen control. Runs out of puff very quickly. A very vanilla under powered bike.
Cope harder truimph salesman
@interstellargod6959 and there in lies the problem. Everybody thinks this is the bike we've all been waiting for and are too blinded to accept it has flaws. Its not even that cheap. I'd take the 411 over this.
@@5uspectD3viceYou are the only person saying these things 😅
@@rickstard73 but I'm not am I. Selective viewing on your part. Have you ridden one?
@@5uspectD3viceI took delivery of mine 2 weeks ago, motor vibrations mainly at the foot pegs, but I actually like the rumble, for $9k Aussie, nothing comes close
