Royal Enfield Himalayan Review... Witshire
I think it’s a sweet stylish little bike that is quite different to anything else…. I guess it’s just if you like it but it not worry about it identity…. a bit disappointed in the rad, it looks more like something from a Morris Minor and also the strange little almost cheap fixes in like the brake clip at the pedal… and these things can be too easily fiddled with. It’s interesting actually it’s exactly the same weight wet as my old 650 BSA Thunderbolt, and it has brought to mind on medications why are modern bikes so heavy and also big dimensions…. ….but I think it has a place in the market and by all accounts they are flying off the shelves so I guess it’s a good start…..
@@johncranwell3783 Your right John… If you like the bike it doesn’t really matter what it’s supposed to be styling wise.. And yes , I totally agree with you on the size of some of these new bikes..Especially the Adventure bikes… A resurgence towards smaller bikes I reckon..Lucky enough to have a few bikes myself but I still adore my little 24hp 411 Himi…Thanks John 👍ATB
From memory, the Shotgun is an alternative for the discontinued HD883. The only downside is this parrallel twin does not sound like a V - or L-twin. To me, it sounds very generic... As a Griso and Classic350 owner, I did chose the J350 engine over the 650. Perhaps this is the reason sales are lower as expected?
Hi...Agreed...Even sporting th 270 degree crank which most manufacturers and road testers say sounds more like a Vtwin, comparing it to the Sportster is misguided..Its nothing like a Sportster and never will be... The Super Meteor however has the exact same motor and is flying out of the showrooms and very American in its styling..I think Royal Enfield didn't think this one out properly..J350 motor? A fantastic little engine...Loved riding the Meteor, just a little small for me frame wise...Thank you for your input and watching the channel ...ATB 👍
First and foremost it was built for India and its roads
Get it? Guerilla. Che Guevara was a guerrilla.
Is it a bird , is it a plane? No it's a RE Super Monngrel. And I love it.
😄.. Now that’s a good name .. Fantastic little bike 👍ATB..
Could also be called a mongrel. But I love it. It has character!❤
I loved it.. I’d definitely go the scrambler route with mine if I owned one.. Got a hunch we may be seeing one from Royal Enfield based on that chassis at some point in the future 😉👍ATB..
Nice video. I think the proper riding reguster with this bike is keeping it in higher rot\min, you ride it like on a 350 classic, change up the gears to early i think, can't feel much difference in "performance" mode. This is the feeling watching the video. I love RE 's everyone for what they are, but imho this is destinited to be rided in a different way., somehow like the finnish muzic is😊 About construction, you are absolutely right with the cooler radiator protection lack, and that wide transversal pozition is even worse, exposing the end's, a vertical pozition might be proper, like on the other RE's.
Good to see you out and about trying out another RE creation, they realy do have something for everyone, can't say anything bad about RE's they just make great bikes, cheers and all the best.
It looks like a nice little bike, mate 👍🏼
Outro 🔥🤘
👍😎
Looks a nice little bike 🙂
Royal Enfield class it as a Roadster. I've had one since Sept 1st and now covered 400 miles on it. Its road manners are impeccable which is where it will be used. The stock suspension is excellent as is the build quality and it goes like you know what off a shovel and more than capable of long distance motorway riding. The OEM Seat is excellent also and I suffer with an arthritic spine. All in all a great value bike, I'm well happy, although perhaps a little biased as I've had 3 Classic 350s, 3 Meteors and a Himalayan so you could say I like REs. Comparing it to say the Triumph 400 speed the Guerilla is the far better bike, very sujective I know! Thanks for posting your Video, always interesting to hear others views and takes on a bike.🙂👍
@@jonathandeeley6276 Hi Johnathan.. Glad your loving your new Enfield… As I said in the vlog it was a very impressive little bike…I haven’t ridden the 400 triumph so I couldn’t compare… I’d go for the Guerrilla though … I wonder if they’ll use it as a platform for other derivatives.. It’s crying out to be a scrambler I know that….Anyway, what a fantastic little ( by today’s standards) little bike.. Enjoy! 🙂👍ATB..
Hi Dickie, another nice bike review there mate. I’m not really a lover of the modern looking spacecraft type bikes but I do like the look of that little bike. It’s just got a good look about it for a modern bike. I had most of the late 70’s and all the 80’s bikes so that is my real biking era. Thank you for another great review Dickie all your films are very interesting and much appreciated. Take care, best regards Chris. 🍻👍👍
@@chrisholt2474 Thanks Chris.. Didn’t Honda do a 500 single very similar back in the 80,s … Check out the FT500..👍
It looks like a Honda Grom that's been on steroids 😀
@@oscartravis5740 second person to say that .. I’m going to have to look at a picture of a Grom now 🙂👍ATB
Cheers Dickie. The front end just looks wrong to me.Makes my CF Moto 650NK seem even better value.
@@minimilo25 It’s a nice bike and fun to ride.. If I’m honest, I’d prefer the CFMOTO 450 motor .. A lot better in my humble opinion…👍ATB
Not a R E fan . But this looks like a nice bike
Good Evening Dickie , A good honest review as always , ride safe mate
@@stevecoppin4278 Thanks Steve 👍
Great review Dickie, you’re right about the radiator protection and it could do with a bash plate if going on those tracks 👍😎
Royal Enfield market it as a road bike but it’s equally at home on moderate trails.. I reckon they’ll adapt that bike at some point and launch a scrambler versions of the Himi…👍ATB
They sell both as accessories
@@ricardini9560 Didn’t look at the accessories catalog.. Guess I’ll have to start doing that.. Bit more research 🙂👍
Brilliant review Dickie.
Good honest review as always. 👍🏻
Famous! Youll be on Im a Celebrity get me out of here soon!
@@davidhawkins120 😆..Sandy would be ideal for that one… He wouldn’t be phased at all ..He’d win it too…👍
@@DickieMintCycles 🤣🤣🤣
Strange looking beast! (The bike) Bit Honda grom’ish
@@Seven-yg2sr 😆…Tis very strange indeed 😄👍
Nice one Dickie.
Great to meet you today at Oxford H-D buddy and cracking review! Can’t wait to see more 😊😊
Hi Dave..It was a pleasure to meet you 🙂.. All the best with the Harley’s at Oxford ..Take care bud 👍
Love these good honest videos, could watch them all day! Cheers and all the best.
Interesting 👍
Hi Dickie , wow a great step by step instruction video with plenty of info well done mate , take care & thank you for sharing this
Great video Dickie, very informative, will you be doing a video when you work on the Himalayan 👍😎
Working on it now Colin and trying to film it…Takes a while…😄👍
Nice one Dickie! Where did your fettling knowledge come from? Apprenticeship/trade/mentor (UA-cam?🤣🤣) ATB👍
Very well explained Dickie, Even I understand how the Harley primary chain tensioner works now:) Lovely bike I reckon and I'm not a Harley man :) Looking forward to seeing you work on the Himalayan. It's about time you got the real old Harley going too..........Tatty bye :)
Always enjoy your videos Dickie and i like the way you look after your machines,thanks for sharing valuable 👍🏻 knowledge
@@michaeljewell53 Thanks for the support and watching the channel Michael..🙂👍
Great video Dickie very enjoyable & interesting stuff have you got any motorcycling camping video coming up anyway Great content.
@@craigmarsh3221 Hi Craig.. It’s been a difficult summer for me as in not being able to get away at all really …Perhaps an autumn camp with Sandy on the Himalayan’s could be an option..Let’s see what transpires… 👍ATB
Nice film Dickie, plenty of great information, thank you. 👍👍👍
@@chrisholt2474 Thanks as always Chris..Take care mate 👍
Good honest video👍
@@davidhawkins120 🙂👍
Enjoyed watching you work on the Harley Dickie. Just finished a year built on my blacked out 1977shovelhead chopper. If you watch the All year motorist channel it's on there , second from latest video, Monday mutter. If you watch that channel on UA-cam you'll see it. Thanks .
@@paulsilson2148 Can’t find your Shovel Paul … I’ll keep looking 🙂👍
@@DickieMintCycles it's title is haywards, bsa. On all year motorcyclist channel
@@DickieMintCycles if you have email I will send direct
I really enjoyed your casual bike review…. And I think it’s probably one of the best reviews I’ve seen…. Not over techie everyone knows the spec…. It was nice to witness your responses to various characterful moments as they appeared when riding…. a great bike one I’m quite keen on which has surprised me as really I was initially interested in a chrome red interceptor…. Mind you that might still happen as I’m not intending to buy a brand-new bike but one up to 2 years old….. and the interceptors with low mileage are very reasonable… Thank you, and yes, I will subscribe. I like your way.
@@johncranwell3783 Thank you for your kind words John....The Shotgun is a fine bike and lends it self to owner customisation I reckon .. Which is great fun in its own right… The Interceptor is again a lovely bike with that beautiful under stressed motor that will last forever..Whichever model you decide to buy ,I’m sure your going to be more than happy.. Thanks for watching the channel and enjoy your biking..Take care 🙂👍ATB.
Nice one Dick !!! I took out the 450 for 2 hour ride ....took it off road , abs off on performance mode, was great fun ! However, I'm going to wait a year before I decide to buy one. I still love my Meteor 350 and KTM . Cheers
@@martin100biker KTM looks fun … I’d do myself some harm on that thing I reckon 😄 ATB 👍
I was looking forward to the release and to see that they are only available in a black frame, black rims, black engine and gearbox then no thanks. I was hoping they'd be like my 2020 Classic 500 and to spend $12, 000 on a bike I'm not happy with won't be happening.
@@specialized29er86 Didn’t they have a big doo launchy thing in California? They flew a few UK journoe’s out to LA I think for the launch.. Typical Royal Enfield the masters of build up and hype 😄… Nice bike but to get it where I’d of wanted it ‘looks wise’ id have had to spend a fair bit more money…Got them advertised at £6,649 on the road brand new over here in 🇬🇧 👍
Bought Himalayan 450 . Absolutely fell in love with it , it has completely different characteristics compared to 411. Its a very good offroader but at the same time it adapts to the roads , thanks to its suspension. Power delivery is limear, more suited for beginners, old people not like outright power of ktm. But you can always tune its power with aftermarket accessories . It's avg mileage after 1st service is31kmpl some of my friends also getting upto 34kmpl by simple tweaking through fuelx pro. Its more of tourerer rather ( 60% onroad, 40% offroad) than pro off-roader
@@soumyananda2528 Hi , I preferred it more off road than I did on road.. Great little bike..It is like you say a completely different bike but even still Enfield has been clever and managed to incorporate a little bit of the 411’s DNA ..Enjoy your bike and ride safe 🙂👍
Does it come with rice
This chanel just gets better and better! Love the bike chat and everything in between, cheers.
Cheers for that! Great video, great little machine, and yes i totaly agree you have to get on them bikes, all of them try them out because they are all great fun!
can tell its a good one dicky gets excited by the tone of your voice but they gotta fix that dash display it keeps blacking out !
@@AlexCarter-AscAudio Yea , strange one that Alex 😆..
Great wee bike and a great review Dickie! Nice one👌😎
Sounds sweet for a 450, Dickie.
@@wayneberry8703 Sounds blooming lovely… CF’s always have a decent exhaust note ..👍 ATB
The Chinese have landed what a fantastic pocket rocket
Good Morning Dickie , as you said a fun little bike with lots of go , tbf you had me leaning in my seat lol , but not for me ( too old now for sports bikes ) great video & thank you for sharing , take care & ride safe
@@stevecoppin4278 Was a very easy and forgiving bike to ride Steve.. Most of all it was lots of fun to ride 🙂👍
Great video and thank you for sharing.
Hi Dickie, nice motorcycle. You had me leaning in my seat every time You cornered :). Cheers, stay safe.
