I have Kamet White Tubeless. I have 3,600 miles on it now. Each day it gets better and better. Once you have clocked up 1,500ish miles the bike loosens up and feels lovely. If you run it in correctly there are very few vibes to worry about. A little buzz through the seat at high rev before gear change. Nothing through the grips. As you would expect on any single, at 70+ there is some, but not too bad.
Hi, I allready watched Your Grr450 video. After my secound test ride of the guerilla, I felt again a little to big for this city roadster bike. -So I went again to my RE dealer: He was quite surprised to see me again. I had a famous test ride of the himalayan. I never thought, that an adventure bike will get me so deep my heart. But the himalayan does! It feelt good, the ergonomics are fantastic. I agree with You: it feels big, and it gives You a good feeling because of the hight, the sight and the "ride my - I'll bring You everywhere'-moment. - The impression of a "big bike" is also because of the bright kamet white version You rode. The black one ist looking smaller. Definetly I'll by one. Thanks.
@@nicksepisode You're welcome, first I had to sell one of my other horses. There is not enough space in my garage ... But I will go and get a Himi ! Great bike.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this bike. I’m wanting to get back to biking and this rings every bell. Just need to find a dealer in Dorset so I can get a test ride. Incidentally, the flickering TFT is the shutter rate of the camera. It might be worth checking if your camera is set to 50 or 60hz and then play with the shutter speed. The flickering is the TFT refresh rate and your camera is currently seeing it refresh. You are correct in issuing an epilepsy warning as some people suffer from Photosensitivity Epilepsy. I know because I work in “vision” in TV.
Commuting to work and the occasional café run. The Guerrilla. Commuting to work, the occasional café run and camping. The Himalayan. Just my four cents (Inflation 🤭)
lol inflation ! Well said about what bike makes sense, we are enjoying these camping trips and with the monkeys we can’t go too far. The himmy will take us anywhere
Been waiting and considering getting this model. I’d go with the Himalayan, just more versatile. Good luck on your decision. I’m not sure they have arrived here yet in 🇨🇦.
My Hanle Black, tubeless, gets it's first service next week and very happy with purchase and looking forward to get past that 50mph/4000rpm limit. The next stage to 1200mile limited to 6000rpm will be available for the RE rideout on 22nd. Still getting used to the lowest sidestand on any bike I have owned but if that is all I can comment on it is very minor. Seems well put together, solid feel, good routing, cable clips and wiring appear high quality and display is stuck at 99.9mg but will drop as more engine revs are allowed.
Morning Nick. It’s funny how differently we feel on bikes. When I took the Himi 450 on the motorway (2nd video), I sat at 70 (plus a bit more at times), and felt I could happily sit at that speed all day long. Whether it depends on our stature, really can’t say. Nice review, the Himi really tempted me, but not being able to flat foot was a deal breaker, hence my enthusiasm for the Guerrilla. Cheers
CF Moto comes from the world's largest totalitarian communist country. Royal Enfield comes from the world's largest free democracy. Being a freedom enjoying person, living in a democracy I will patronize Royal Enfield. Ask yourself what you desire for human society, freedom or totalitarianism. If you think leaving politics out of the equation is valid, then you are an Ostrich with your head in the sand.

I found them a little tall for me although I'm the same inside leg as you. That's if you're measuring from the floor to the groin not bottom of the trouser leg. Perhaps the best thing is get one of each for you and Jodie? Assuming you can ride each other's bike on your insurance. I see that RE has some accessories out in India for the Guerrilla. I wonder if they're interchangeable between the Himalayan and the Guerrilla?
Ah I never thought of that. 29 inch is my trouser size 😂 what a wally I am. I reckon most mods are interchangeable, don’t think the seat would be though. It’s tempting to get one of each, we definitely need to go back there!
The Problem is they getting delivered standard with the High Seat Option. But they also have an low Seat Option with only 805 mm Seat hight wich is more or less the same as the Old Himi. For me it´s even worse it´s the difference between driveable and FU.
You stated that the owner can't check the valves. This is not true. Checking the valves is ez, adjustment is difficult. I have owned several shim under bucket rigs. Check the valve clearance at the required intervals. If any adjustments are needed, go to the shop. I rarely encountered an out of spec valve clearance.
18:44 im going to my dr appointment thats 2 hours one way (100ish miles) and 85+ is gonna be required for a lot of it... id be pins and needles on a thumper like this sadly. I do like it though. If I had the extra cash id do my normal work commute on it (25 miles 1 way)
@@idontwantahandle12345 yes I have ridden the new himmy and still have my 411 but the new 450 still doesn’t have the punchy power every all 411 owners wanted plus it looks out of date all ready so deposit on cf moto 450 mt see how that goes cheers

Thanks for clearing that up, I did wonder if the demo needed to be bedded in
I love the Kamet White colour. It gives me Star Wars Speeder Bike Vibes. I want to take one through a Redwood forest!

Such a good video. I really like this bike and i am thinking about getting one, just have to get in contact with a dealer. Great video, keep it up!

@ianhughesroyalenfield how many miles did your demo have out of curiosity
I love the himalayan paint scheme with the top view of the mountains themselves..
RE offer the best colours
I bought one and collected it last week. As I want to do off road riding, it was always going to be the Himalayan.
Fantastic choice
I’m loving that Himi!
good choice my friend!
You da man! Great review.
Thank you ! You are the man !
The buzz at high speed is why some folks went to the 450MT.

Exactly the same setup here. Himi just joined my Guzzi one week ago. Greetings from Greece.
bonne chance et merci d'avoir regardé

The 450 is objectively better in every respect (except the feels-like-it’s-falling sidestand) but I love my 411.
Nice video buddy
Cheers 🍻
Service intervals in Australia is every 5,000kms
But don´t forget the Speed and Scrambler 400 Nick and the MT450.
Mt450 yes, triumph no, can’t get a demo available. Our dealer here is pants

yeah, sorry for the wrong choice of wording, checking is very very easy and adjustment not
That bike is slimming for you.
I’ll take that lol
spoke wheel tubeless tires option is not available in India.😢
Not yet maybe 🤔

Yeah maybe my demo bike needed to be needed in it only had 300 miles on. Give one a try though
Haven’t received that one in India yet
Soon maybe
These moon people, should have given you AT LEAST one free bike - for all the job you've done 4 them 🤔🤔
Hear hear
full and comprehensive review based on a test ride? on road only? don't make me laugh
I was waiting for this comment, congrats you’re the first grumpy person out of all those comments. Pat yourself on the back for me will you.
The 450 mt wipes the floor with the new himmy
Don’t you find it very bulky to turn on fast corners ?
😂
I assume you haven’t actually ridden a 450 with that comment.
