Perfect for someone looking to upgrade from a 200cc-350cc -- Yes Perfect for someone looking to downgrade from a 650-1200cc - Yes (The downgrade might just be a better option now) Perfect for city rides -- Yes Perfect for touring -- Yes Perfect for off roading -- Yes RE has nailed this time around. A bike of International standards. This bike is going to eat up the market share of a lot of big bikes. Its amazing to see an Indian manufacturer doing such great work and raising the bar for everyone else.
“This is going to replace my Tiger 1200”. That’s exactly what I was waiting to hear. Kudos to RE. What an astonishing machine they have created. It will make waves all around the world. Great review. Well done and sending love from the UK 🇬🇧. Can’t wait to own one here :)
Hi from Wales. Love your enthusiasm and realistic views about biking, nice to see someone not bleating on about horsepower being everything. Was interesting to see a commute in India too. Have been interested in this bike during the run up to release and looking for info about it which is how I found your channel, now subscribed. Keep up with channel and ride safe.👍
Great review. Thank you. Have to say though, compared to riding in the UK, lane splitting in India is definitely not for the faint hearted! I was on the edge of my seat for most of that ride! 😄
@Abhinav Bhatt I have been following you since I saw your video on the newly launched Honda CB350 back then. And here is now I am watching your take on yet another new and one of the most anticipated motorcycle of this year - The Himalayan 452. You have come across a long way since the CB. Thank you for all your quality content. Keep going and ride safe.
Thank you so much for this amazing real life review. I have booked a Himalayan today and watching your review made my happy that the decision was right.
Your Instagram stories and other videos on this were enough to make out how excited you were to give out your opinion on the new Himalayan, you almost could not contain it haha, glad RE has made a perfect all round machine for most motorcycling use cases.
Love this! Being from America I have to laugh at all the organized chaos on the streets of India. Turning 2 lanes into 4 lanes is hilarious and everyone drives so politely. The cows on the side of the roads is definitely something we don't see in the USA. LOL. I can't wait to go back to India!
Try riding into Deli in rush hour - an Incredible experience on a 350 Bullet , riding in Rajasthan is amazing, the locals are superbly skilled whether on motorbike or car, the rules are there are no rules apart from move at a steady pace not fast not slow , even walking across a busy road is amazing , everyone gives everyone else a little room or should I say enough room - it’s an act of faith , I am sure the roads are more dangerous in NZ , I was told the accident rate per 100,000 vehicles is very low in India. An amazing place filled with amazing people.
00:00 Himalayan 452 is a high-quality motorcycle with adjustable seat height and comfortable riding experience. 02:42 High-quality handlebar and new grips 05:30 Comfortable seat and easy mode change 08:12 Himalayan 450 is easy and enjoyable to ride 10:32 The Himalayan 450 offers impressive performance and comfortable ergonomics. 13:07 Himalayan 450 is as comfortable as Tiger 1200 for long rides. 15:44 Himalayan 450 offers smooth commuting and capable trail riding 17:51 Impressive stock suspension with a plush and stiffer feel 20:19 Himalayan 450 has impressive riding capability and comfort 22:52 Himalayan 450 feels much lighter compared to other motorcycles 25:18 Impressed by the Himalayan 450's design and accessories
Waiting for the price. Bike has been getting only good reviews all throughout the RUclips . Kudos to RE for giving a real Himalayan bike with three best of everything.
EXCELLENT SUPERB video. 10/10. Just BRILLIANT. You told it as it is. Just what we want to hear. THANK YOU sir. I want one!!! Available here in 'OZ' in February '24. ALL the VERY BEST to You. Regards.
I love the console...just wow...i always thought how the hell they are gonna make maps and navigation into their vehicles ,with all that old school dials and all..this is just👌
Ok, this might sound wierd, funny. I currently own a HD heritage softail m8, and i am seriously considering selling that and getting this bike. I have been thinking of entering the world of adv tourers and I feel this bike is perfect Great review. Cheers 👍
See if u havent rode any powerfull bike then it will be fine you will enjoy it. But its a littel bit less powerful made for poper cruising on highways which is enough for 120kmph. But if u want more speed better look for differrent bike
@@siddharth9703 I currently ride a Harley heritage softail. It's not big on HP but hell lot of torque right from around 2500 rpm itself. Still I am willing to sell it off and trade in this new Himalayan - looks very promising. My main aim is going to be long distance travel and here - there some soft / off roading
@@abhinam2286 i have an adv/tourer vstrom, i see if you want to tour then advs are the way to go as they are very comfy even more than cruisers. You can surely buy this , but wait for some 3months. As there some initial unit will have problem as yammie noob channel suggested
Awesome content as usual 👏👌🏼.It would be great if Abhinav can do a honest and more detailed comparison between adv 390 and Himalayan 452. With latest revised engine that they have fixed in the 3rd gen Duke 390 , which has a tad bit better low end torque, which i beleive will be the next upgrade for the next gen ktm adv 390. Abhinav's input on these two will be highly appreciated.TIA from Chennai.
I know everyone in the biker community is exited and overwhelmed with the big STEP that RE has taken 🤩. Almost every video says good things about RE Himalayan . Probably every RE fan might agree with me that every single bike in their lineup has a beautiful character to them and I don’t find a single RE motorcycle that I don’t enjoy riding . But I feel what we all want to hear is about the quality issues if any . If QA issues rather id say acceptable quality is there I’d say this Himalayan is an no brainer for me 😊
Just needed to replace the Himalayan with a girl, and the praises you showered throughout the video would be like a youngster falling in love for the first time! Nice video :-)
I am considering this, but there was an issue with Yammie Noob's bikes during the media rides where the engine was leaning out on 2nd gear, did you face any issue like that
I can almost hear your heart pattering when you turned it on. I believe I will be like this for along time every time I approach my future 450. Thank you for the great review. I will be riding uk for a bit then in September idk?. Wish list is Balkans, Africa and of course India primarily. I have to increase my bravery first though. 😂
2000 ke below torque we need for off-road terrain sir.. but that's fine you'll just have to whack open the throttle to juice out the power.. anyways ..I love your review ❣️
Engineers know that. High torque below that rpm will make the regular ride jerky and uncomfortable. During off roading we can simple rev up and release clutch to make those occasional jumps. This bike is a thoughtful project. We should appreciate it.
@@thecharanrxddy it's nothing like I'm complaining brother..and surely, engineer know it very well but this time Royal Enfield has surpassed their conventional style of keeping bore and stroke same and that has made this bike rev happy and that too is not an issue. But it's practically impossible for them or anyone to make this bike to have same torque curve and same amount of power with making torque available in very lower range. It's not the case that Engineers have deliberately done this.. otherwise every bike maker would have done this to complete with old school Royal Enfields who will give out 95% of their torque under 3500 rpm. It's because the bore and stroke ratio which always plays role. It's too technical stuff .. let us just enjoy this compitition and save some money for the fruitful results of this compitition....what says..
Hey mahn. I've been following ypu since the first video you put out on the cb350 highness. I was mighty impressed by the bike and i bought a blue cb350rs down the line. It's a great bike and I enjoy it thoroughly. But lately, I am feeling what I dreaded. The bike is feeling underpowered. Everytime I twist the throttle i want more power. And now I am loving the new Himalayan after watching and reading all the reviews and stuff. I just wanted to ask one thing. Is the new Himalayan just as easy to handle as the cb350. The cb has an insanely light steering and great mass centralisation. How does the Himalayan compare to the cb in that regard. Also will I miss anything from my Cb350 RS if i upgrade to the new Himalayan
I was planning to buy cb350rs blue. Now this bike is making me think again 😥. How was your experience with RS? Any niggles? Even I felt when I test rode it that little more power would have been wonderful.
RE used to known and famous for producing classic motorcycles with simple tech but rugged. A hobbyist delight who would like to dirty their own hands in fixing it. One didn't look for or expect refinements. Now it seems RE is charting a different path altogether, let's see where it gets them. Hopefully they don't end up loosing the loyalty of their original fan base
Watching the channel for the first time. Lovely review. Respect and admiration for Yudhvir for his thoughtproceess. Ps. Not a jab but a little less of "yah" Abhinav😅. Take care both of you. Subscribed. :)
Super Awesome Review 👍👌🙌, We All Believe in You as you have Ridden All Types Of Bike Since From More than Decades and Mastered in all Bike Performance, Riding Quality, Bike Quality, etc etc etc. So Only Legend Have High Quality Knowledges and Thanks For Sharing. Truly this Time RE HM 452 Nailed all Bike💪💥🔥 and Even it Compete to Big 1000-1250cc all types of Adventure/Tourer/ Sports/Scrams Bikes too. Sfbeng 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Your videos literally convinced me to get the H'ness CB350.. now if I keep watching these, I may end up selling the CB for the Himalayan. I saw it at the Motoverse, and it is an awesome motorbike.
I shitted my pants a few times watching this driving style 😂. I certainly won't complain about how Italians drive anymore. Anyway... great bike and review!
Thanks for the great video. Definitely thing about one. Just wish they sold Royal Enfield on the Island ( Prince Edward Island, Canada ) This is a perfect spot for that type of bike. Hoping they get them in NB so I can go and sit on one. I made a mistake getting the KTM 390 and then the Honda CB500X bough good bikes but not what I am looking for. Want something good off road and on road. Found the KTM lacking on the highway and the Honda lacking off road. Looks like the Himalayan 450 would suit the type of driving a lot of people do hear on the island.
Bro howz this bike in case of refinement when compared to interceptor....pls tell me about the torque too...bcoz i sold my interceptor to buy this one...need to check up from u since u used both....your interceptor vids also so helpfull those times....thanks bro...
Currently using Dominar 400 as my everyday bike..Low end torque is not good for city use, ground clearance pathetic, turning radius is like a bus...other than that bike is great....It seems like ...I should switch to Himalayan 450 as all rounder..give ur suggestion..also considering triumph speed 400..bt unfortunately no triumph dealership in my city as of now..
@@AdityaLoshali1 seat height is issue for me also Speed 400 costs less than scrambler and I can change front wheel to 19 inch if required. Speed 400 ticks all the boxes I want from everyday bike ..bt big issue is no dealership in 500km radius
@@ravitiwari3895 I bought Speed 400 from Gurgaon which is 350+ kms away from Nainital, where I live. So far enjoying it. 500 kms away is even farther, but maybe they'll open a showroom somewhat closer to you.
@@AdityaLoshali1 Till then I can wait & will use dominar 400 which also a great motorcycle ..fast n stable .. Congratulations for the Speed 400..do share ur ownership experience..
Allen Wells & triumph team brought all the expertise & knowledge in RE now...Since the R&D is actually happening in UK now.. I had heard siddharth lal talking abt the same in one of interviews that they have invested in right manpower too & it took them almost 6 yrs to build this bike considering covid also played spoilsport a bit as well...😊👍
Bro don't compare it with xpulse.there is lack of difference in build quality and also performance.if you are going to buy xpulse rally kit then you will cry after buying❤❤❤
Hi Abhivav, thank you for this video which covers the daily use. Quick question, is it susceptible to crosswinds while on highway as the ADV390 or is it much more resistant to the crosswinds?

Makes me want to ride this motorcycle right now! Awesome, honest, and straightforward review, kudos to you :)
Are you also looking for buy one !
This is THE review I've been waiting for, actual real world and practical view points.
Or a paid promotion?

Great review. Thank you.
Have to say though, compared to riding in the UK, lane splitting in India is definitely not for the faint hearted!
I was on the edge of my seat for most of that ride! 😄
LoL
Ha! I was thinking the same about the commute along the A roads and M4 in South Wales.
Thats because here in India, not just bikes, but cars, 3 wheels, trucks and every vehicle engages in lane splitting 🤣

I've ordered one of these without even seeing it or riding it, looking forward to getting my hands on this Indian beauty when it arrives in the UK.
The angle the Himalayan sits and the stark resemblance to the Tiger's tank, would make anyone take a second guess as to which one is which.

I think this bike has what it takes to take away a huge chunk of market from the likes of honda crf and ktm adv
I think so too.
I am considering this, but there was an issue with Yammie Noob's bikes during the media rides where the engine was leaning out on 2nd gear, did you face any issue like that
I didn't face it.
Abhinav gives top notch reviews , he is always undoubtedly on the top reviewer .... Not actually top the best reviewer
What a great review. Thanks for sharing! (Used to have the 2021 Himalayan and traded in after one year).

Hey Abhinav !!
Is the motorcycle nimble in traffic ???
And which one you'll pick between scram400x and Himalayan??
Hey mahn. I've been following ypu since the first video you put out on the cb350 highness. I was mighty impressed by the bike and i bought a blue cb350rs down the line. It's a great bike and I enjoy it thoroughly.

Hi Abhinav the way explained the rumble strips ghad ghad ghad ghad 😂😂😂was epic…ty for sharing this practical review following u since V3 🎉
The way u explain everyone will buy this
Abhinav bhai.. Looking forward to your honest cons review also if any for this bike. You are all praise for this bike. So
Bhai, I have mentioned the cons I felt in the second review I put out today. You can take a look at that.
Seems handle bar / forks are not in alignment to the body / chassis , its slightly turned to left side
RE used to known and famous for producing classic motorcycles with simple tech but rugged. A hobbyist delight who would like to dirty their own hands in fixing it.
One didn't look for or expect refinements.
Now it seems RE is charting a different path altogether, let's see where it gets them.
Hopefully they don't end up loosing the loyalty of their original fan base
No words for u and ur presentation, it was crazy w❤w...........
Watching the channel for the first time. Lovely review. Respect and admiration for Yudhvir for his thoughtproceess. Ps. Not a jab but a little less of "yah" Abhinav😅.

Excellent review sir, from "here" looks like a bigger bike overall (no coincidence on the rear lights!). Thanks
Your videos literally convinced me to get the H'ness CB350.. now if I keep watching these, I may end up selling the CB for the Himalayan.
I saw it at the Motoverse, and it is an awesome motorbike.
I shitted my pants a few times watching this driving style 😂. I certainly won't complain about how Italians drive anymore. Anyway... great bike and review!
An RE engine must feel slightly heavy, I felt the Speed 400 was too light but that one has exceptional tractability
Thanks for the great video. Definitely thing about one. Just wish they sold Royal Enfield on the Island ( Prince Edward Island, Canada ) This is a perfect spot for that type of bike. Hoping they get them in NB so I can go and sit on one. I made a mistake getting the KTM 390 and then the Honda CB500X bough good bikes but not what I am looking for.

What about Himalayan rally edition? Any info about its availability?!
Excellent review serge!! RE single-handedly will eaten up the sales of KTM adv and so called Triumph (modified domi) 😅
Nice presentation and congratulations in advance 🎉 keep grinding bro 😎
What jacket are you wearing ? Looks really cool. Thanks for the review - definitely a tempting package
In Bangalore traffic you will be under 2k rpm level. But overall excited for this new Himalayan!

KAMET WHITE
Kaza Brown awesome
I bought new 450 himalayan 20 days back & Its best in the segment

Clutch is light. I can't compare it to my Interceptor - it's heavily modded so much faster.

Why Speed 400 and not Scrambler 400x?. Since you talked about himalyan.
PS. I own a Speed 400
For everyday ride...speed 400 is a better bike! 450 might be a bit too big and cumbersome for everyday useage.
@@AdityaLoshali1 seat height is issue for me also Speed 400 costs less than scrambler and I can change front wheel to 19 inch if required. Speed 400 ticks all the boxes I want from everyday bike ..bt big issue is no dealership in 500km radius
@@ravitiwari3895 I bought Speed 400 from Gurgaon which is 350+ kms away from Nainital, where I live. So far enjoying it. 500 kms away is even farther, but maybe they'll open a showroom somewhat closer to you.

Would be good if you could change the Hertz on the screen between 50/60/90/120hz so you could find a mode that doesn't flicker on camera
Abhinav G what about the seat.Is it comfortable ❓
Very comfy.
Yes . R.E.probably wont be able to make enough of these for the first couple of years .
How is the vibration ? Its wrongly manages by RE.
I didn't find vibes.

practical review ..loved it
RE has made their own Triumph Tiger and Bmw Gs bike ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Does it have xpulse type capabilities... It does come with Rally kit but does it ride like a Rally Bike
It is capable enough. What will now matter is how capable the rider is.
Bro don't compare it with xpulse.there is lack of difference in build quality and also performance.if you are going to buy xpulse rally kit then you will cry after buying❤❤❤
Can you compare its quality with honda and triumph
Just wanted to let you know that your view is the best on the internet
Hi Abhivav, thank you for this video which covers the daily use. Quick question, is it susceptible to crosswinds while on highway as the ADV390 or is it much more resistant to the crosswinds?
It would deal better with crosswinds due to its heavier weight.
@@abhinavbhatt One last question, is it top heavy as usual ADVs or is the weight balanced properly?
I'm looking to upgrade from a classic 350(bs6 old gen) . And am kinda torn between this and the speed 400. What do you guys reckon?
(Me too) Test ride BOTH machines.
