As usual another very entertaining & informative video, I always look forward to them, hence me being subscribed! I love your style of presention & it's always great to find a new video of yours to watch over a nice cup of tea!
None of the following is intended as criticism, Ol' Man, I have huge respect for all you've done, & your opinion matters to me like it does to all of your thousands of other recipients, but like you - I just have to tell you how I found it.
I had my Himalayan for just less than one year, & although I loved it - I really did - it just wasn't the ideal bike for me. Let me say at the start, this wasn't all down to the bike, it was just as much me, my preferences, build, experience, but this is what I found.
Standing at a compact height of 5'9", although I had no problem whatsoever in putting both feet down at a standstill, I found the weight distribution too top heavy. For example, trying to push it backwards & forwards in order to be able to reverse it back into my garage where it would be ready for my next outing, I really struggled. If I'd have been a few inches taller, it might have been better, but as it was, I didn't have the confidence I could always do it without it falling on me, so in the end, I just feathered it into position on the throttle.
Secondly, I found the brakes very weak, in fact, I changed the pads to ones that our national dealer recommendesd as an upgrade, but even that didn't do much.
Thirdly, the CEAT tyres were not confidence inspiring, nylon based tyres (in my humble opinion) are nowhere near as good as the fantastic Michelin Road 5 I now have as standard on my new Honda CBF, they just don't compare. However, having said that, despite my on-& -off of 55 years in the saddle, I am not very experienced in off-road riding, yes - I've done some & with no problems at all, but nowhere near as much as I'd liked to have done. therefore if those were the kinds of surfaces I regularly used then I'm sure I would have found them to be more than capable.
Lastly, I'm hardly a tearaway anymore, (maybe I used to be!!) but I found the single cylinder engine lacking in grunt, unable to generate enough speed quickly enough to safely pass traffic that was doing more than 55mph.
Finally, it kept cutting out on me at low revs, sometimes when I was actually still riding! Took it back to the dealer who basically increased the idle speed but it still did it.
Ok, all that said, I admit to living the Isle of Man, the home of Road Racing, but be that as it may, it doesn't influence my style of riding (anymore!), I just like to take it easy these days, maybe occasionally up to or just nudging 80mph whenever the need or desire takes me.
My comments don't take an ounce away from any of yours, my fellow old timer, the Himalayan would be a great bike for most off-roaders, we're all different, I guess, I simply found it to be not what I wanted at this time in my ancient life.
Really looking forward to you reveiwing my current ride, if you ever get the chance.
Best wishes & keep the vids coming.
Michael no matter WHAT you ride its more important that you RIDE! Cheers my friend
@@OlManRonin How can you give up on the love of your life?
ps - of course I'm referring to my wife!!!
Riding a 03 Ultra for 19 years cross country. Just turned 66 and bought this bike.............love it! Hitting all the dirt roads and trails in the central Sierra and have discovered a new life!
I've had my 2022 for less than a week and I dig it. I haven't had a scoot in 15 years and my last ride was a 95th Anniversary Springer. At 5'8 and 155 lbs this bike works great for me It has plenty of power, I'm a stock air-cooled VW kind of guy, and it is fun to ride. Your vids helped me decide, thanks, one old man to another (you're older).
lol I'm sure I am older ugh
@@OlManRonin it's all good.
saw little Ronin at 6 mins. really enjoy your videos. Had a motorcycle accident about 13 years ago, had some pretty bad injuries but always wanted to get back to it. recently took the plunge and went with the 2022 Himalayan. I've had it for about 28 days and use it to commute to work every day, I'm up to 1800 miles and loving it. this bike is not the fastest but it will do what you want it to do. I usually get 65 to 70 miles to the gallon averaging 55 MPH on my commute. It will do 50MPG if you keep it pegged at 70, with a 235 pounds guy on it. anyway I watch your vids on the Himi for maintenance info and such. thanks a lot, you've been very helpful.
I have a 2022 Himi. It's a great motorcycle as you indicate. And it looks cool in the videos I make for my channel. Just did 65 miles on gravel and dirt. The bike did great. It wore me out though!
Bike is super tough even when we arent! Cheers Scooter
bought mine because of your videos, been comparing it to, believe it or not, a 2013-18 BMW GS800. Seeing your review of it on mixed surfaces and riding styles really made me confident i could take it anywhere i want to
Watching your videos helped convince me to pick one up last month. I'm 6'6" 275 LBS and the fit isn't too bad. I'm waiting on the seat concepts tall seat to come in and then I'll be ready to do some longer range stuff. In the bike's first 300 miles, it has about 70 miles off road and 230 on road (a lot of which is on winding mountain roads in AZ. ) It's a blast, all around. I think the people that hate this bike have unrealistic expectations for it and can't comprehend that this air cooled 411cc small bike is not both a motocross bike and a touring bike. It's a mountain goat. Rather than listening to the haters and trying to argue, I just hop on my bike and go have fun! Thank you for informative, interesting, and funny videos about great bikes
Started watching you during Covid lockdown when my Goldwing F6 ended up under 3 feet of snow on Lake Tahoe. Had been skiing. I’m amazed that a Harley guy could enjoy a royal Enfield so much! But I have to admit I’m ready to trade in my Goldwing. Keep up the good work.
Thanks John
content worth seeing, more than once! So sad to hear of his passing. One of the great Ambassadors of motorcycling. RIP Sir. 😪
I love my 2022 Himalayan! It's a great all around bike!
Really enjoyed the video brother, and I love the humour you put through it. The Himalayan doesn't appeal to me, but for some reason I am really taken with the 350's. I had a squizzy, (slang for look), at the Classic, meteor Super Nova and the 650 Interceptor today, and if I could, I would have all three!! The ergonomics on all three are great for someone my size, unbelievable! I'm 6'1, 236lbs with a 33 inch inseam. I will certainly test ride all three when I am physically able to. I was originally looking at the Triumph T120 as a second bike, but thanks to you, that idea has been turfed out the window. For the cost of the Trumpy I could get two Royal Enfield's and still have some change left over! Bugger me, I'm starting to think like my missus, and that's scary, believe you me mate! Anyway, enough of the waffling and have a good one brother. Cheers.🦘👍
Thanks Andy and keep me posted on which one you get
YES !!! Straight seat the same height as the pillion !!! I’ve mocked up a straight seat for my 81 Kawasaki 440LTD like what we’re talking about. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! I put a set of knobbies on her and she’s a real fun ride out on the trails. I almost prefer the old 440 over my brand new CRF 300 rally. The straight and high seat allows me to get my 70 year old body up on the pegs much quicker and easier. If Royal Enfield made such a seat for their Himalayan I’d seriously consider one for my next bike.
Another excellent video on the Royal Enfield Himalayan from you which is what I have come to expect! You again covered all the points in a very clear and entertaining manner. You have an excellent understanding of the RE Himalayan and what it was built for. You qualify all your statements with the knowledge, expertise and backup of a very seasoned rider ( Not old) of different bikes and a very good understanding of the RE Himalayan. You are spot on about the seat and I believe there are more improvements to come from Royal Enfield. I am now on my second one and I am totally happy with the bike's overall performance. It's not a Harley, it's not a BMW, Honda or Suzuki sports bike, but it is very good at what it was designed & built for. As you correctly stated, it is also very easy to maintain and it's also very economical to run! Ronin, keep them coming as I look forward to all your quality videos! Thank you.
I ordered before 2 days mine she'll be on my hands about fifteen days from now, time is an unbeatable enemy cheers from Greece!
I just got mine today! 1st ride after MSF course was home through beginning of rush hour traffic!!! Amazing fun ride
I commute on my 2021. Getting 80 mpg and through all 4 seasons. Easy accessibility to work on yourself even for beginners to learn how to maintain. I'm 50 and don't mind the speed or power because it works on ghe country roads I ride. Whether new or experienced try one and see for yourself.
No way are you getting 80mpg. Check again. I have the powertronic ecu and can change fuel maps for maximum economy and don’t get better than 65mph and that’s taking it easy…
@@mikerobinson8734 I checked on 3 fills working out litres used and miles done on trip. It ranges from 72 to 80mpg. I will check again at next fill. 4.546 litres is 1 gallon. That's what I based my figures on.
@@rabfergy7155 Wow I wonder what is your altitude if that has anything to do with it. I also have a buddy who has the 21’ himi, I have a 22 and we both don’t come anywhere near that kind of MPG. In fact that’s the most I’ve heard of anyone getting on theirs.
Between 60-68 mpg is pretty normal here in the states.
@@rabfergy7155 BTW over here it’s 3.785 liters to a gallon.
Not sure what part of the world tour in but that’s incredible more liters fit in your gallons.
@@mikerobinson8734 is your gallon the same amount of litres as uk and Ireland. Maybe that's the difference. I don't know but I ride 13 miles to work and back on small country roads. I don't ride trying to get mpg I just ride normal and that's what I have been getting.
Well it's Built for all Road, Built for No road. It comes with a three years normal warranty + RSA. In India I brought it with additional 2 years warranty + RSA for roughly 75$ ( ₹5899) which is like dirt cheap considering people spend 3-4 times more on a pair of jordans. 5 years or for 50000 km your bike is covered for so many issues. Additionally you can spend 60$ (₹4599) more to get a Annual Maintenance Contract which take care of all the extra services if needed for next 5 years.
Even though I'm planning to buy the INT650 I am tempted to gut a Himalayan when I watch these videos. Lil' Ronin rode past at 6.00 minute mark.
Thanks for the update on the 2022 Himmy, I really need to get me one, I just need to get the funds in place. Always entertaining video's ATB Big Dave Scotland.
Just BUY the Damn Bike! lol Thanks David so much for watching!
It sure is a nice bike. I have the Meteor and the Classic 350 signals. Love them both, but this might be my next bike down the road. Great vid and review!
OK, thanks, I just bought one. Pick it up when I can get away from work this week.
Had one for 4 months and traded it for a Moto Guzzi V85TT. Nothing wrong with the Himmie, just wanted something that can handle bombing down the highway. The Himmie was a great bike to get back into riding, and it did it's job for 2500 miles.
You should be ashamed of yourself
You are 265 lbs, and how tall? I’m slightly heavier and 6’ 2”. About to buy a 2022 for 5k with 380 miles, in red. ALSO, do you know if the 3 year warranty transfers?
great comments. especially for dealer. congratulations
This review is so good, even my wife suggested I get one after watching with me, so I am. Thanks Ronin!!! 6:05
LOL! My wife stopped and watched over my shoulder. Something about Ronin.
G'day Ronin from Australia, thanks for the comparison of the two Himalayans, I'm seeing more on them on our roads and trails, just back from a 4 day ride with friends, warning don't have Birthday drink's with Bikers, my heads still not attached to my body, cheers mate, love life it's fun. Neil 🤠.
Thanks Neil!! Cheers
Great review Ronin. I enjoyed riding that bike with you guys down to the Ohio River. We did almost all backroads and state routes on the way down, and I did about the same on the way back. As best I can tell I averaged about 70 mpg, even with using the full rev range, as they say to do. You and I are about the same sized, and my thoughts about the seat are similar as well. I added a gel pad and sheepskin and that was a big help. Overall, I put about 380 miles on the bike, and found it to be very enjoyable, comfortable, and easy to live with. It handles well in the corners, and is right at home on gravel. I saw 75 mph a couple times without issue, and never felt I couldn't keep a strong pace. Two thumbs up for your review and for the Himi!
Thanks so much Dave. It was a pleasure having you along and hope to ride many more trips with you on the Himalayan! Cheers
Cool. 6 minute ol man Ronin rode by
cheers
I enjoyed your video. I’m not riding my 2021 Himalayan because I took a tumble while riding an old logging road and broke a couple of ribs. I have 12,000 km on my bike. I’m likely finished for the season. By the time my ribs heal, I suspect it will be too cold or snowy to ride.
Watching in March, 2023! Great video...
Looking at a new Himi this weekend,, will probably be coming home with me. Love your channel,, Little Ronin was seen at 6:01 !
Well said Ronin, I think your MAD, but good fun, I enjoy your reviews UK
The only thing for me is can I hold out for the 40bhp version next year maybe?
Passed my mod 1 got one more to go (road test).
Great vid🇺🇸💪
I'm having a great time on my 2022 Himalayan. If I have to go to work in Texas again, I might buy a Meteor to commute on.
thats awesome!!
Hey man great video! I'm watching videos all over of this bike since i'm considering it for my first one!
All in all, i want to say that this bike really reminds me of the legendary old Panda 4x4 here in Italy, it's not the fastest or the most powerful, but goddamn if it'll take wherever you want to be with a big fat smile on your face!
I hope i'll start riding in the next 2 years meanwhile i can dream by watching these videos :D Cheers!
I bought the Hitchcock Tall Touring seat and it makes a big improvement over the soft stock seat. It is firmer and at least an inch taller.
thanks for the tip
Lil Ronin rode by 11.54pm 9/6/22 thanks for the video
I would love to have a Himmy parked next to my Meteor. This bike looks like a hoot. Little Ronin rode by at the 6 minute mark. Ride safe Sir🤟
Ceat tyres or Cavi Elettrici e Affini Torino was originally founded in Turin, Italy 1924 On 10 March 1958, the company was incorporated as CEAT Tyres of India, in Mumbai. At one point in its history the name was bought by Pirelli in 1981 but sold it in 1983 to the RPG group, The current capacity of CEAT tyres' plants is over 800 tonnes per day.
Thanks Kevin
@@OlManRonin you're welcome 😉
I own a 2022 Himmy, I rode it already 10500 km and it is probably the best bike I ever owned! My other bikes were Honda CB500 (1994), Suzuki V-Strom 650 (2007) and Triumph Scrambler 900 (2014). I want to sell my Triumph now, because I rode it only 2000 km this year. I don't need/use my Triumph anymore, because I literally LOVE my Himalayan 2022!! The only negative think is the tripper. I mean, wtf needs it?! I didn't use it during my ride from Sweden to Romania and back, through Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. Tripper should be sold as an option. Otherwise, my Himmy is perfect!
Dad jokes are the best! Be interesting to see what you think of the new 450 engine when it arrives.
I have a 2019 black Himalayan, not going to change it for possible 450 / 650 variant, love her for what she is. Other exhaust and TEC cam is on the list.
100% Agree
May I ask why not? Just not necessary for you riding style?
Interesting little video demonstrating the new 2022 Himalayan. I believe I need to test drive one....
Thanks Ol’Man. Great job. Good info. God bless. Happy trails.
Thanks Ward Cheers
Great video. I wanted the Signals because how cool it looks. I watched a video where they said the 350 will not go over 73 mph. This one is not much bigger at 411 cc but I think it would do better. A local dealer has the '22 Himalayans with a $1,304 discount. Even though it's a 2 hour RT to go look at them today, how can I not go look at them for $3,995! I hope I can flat foot it, being 5'7".
I am new to riding and interested in this bike because I think it would fit my needs. However, I would love to see a video with 2 riders on it as I would like to take my young son on short fishing/camping trips with it. I live in Iowa and we have a lot of rural gravel roads. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I would also be using this as a seasonal commuter.Thanks!
Aaron, sir. I have soooooo many videos 2-up on the Himalayan. PLEASE check out my Himalayan Playlist
@@OlManRonin Sorry, I didn't dig that deep. Thank you!
Ride mine regularly to durango colorado & taos ski valley on the flats even with our elevation it does do 65 up to 70 but inclines ummmm 45- 50 & definitely down shifted but it's such a loveable little bike done many dirt roads & forestry trails that's something my harley sportsters would never do, like the racks on mine just wish the kick stand was little better, the cables seem very tiny compared to what I'm used to also the choke switch seems worthless but oh well doesn't effect anything but an all around good bike
I'm still loving mine. It's great around the city and it handles the ohv trails. I'll probably have to upgrade the tires eventually as the new Mexico mud is nasty stuff.
I was torn about washing the mud of though. It's like a badge that says "look where this thing can go" but it's back to nice and clean again until the next time.
Do your maintenance and this bike will treat you well.
Washing your bike enables you to "feel" for loose or worn parts. But hey, thats just me
@@OlManRonin absolutely. Looking for loose spokes while cleaning the wheels. Check for any leaks as well on the calipers and any oil leaks on the engine.
And maintain that chain. I was over at the dealer checking that a new exhaust wouldn't void the warranty (it won't) and I saw a Himalayan on the lift with a rusty chain. How can you ignore it that long? Idk, maybe they think the dealer does everything 🤔
I had a chain break on me way back in the day and it took a piece of the sprocket cover with it. I would never let my bike get like that again. Every mistake is a learning experience if it doesn't kill you
@@kittywampus
Hey Miss Kitty, I'm also in NM (Albuquerque) and enjoying my 2 month old 2022 Him. Looking for other Himi readers to ride with if you're interested.
@@magnet2345 that would be great. Are you in the US Himalayan group on Facebook as well?
I'm moving this month, San Jose neighborhood by the end of this month, so I've been a little busy with getting ready, but I'd love to go riding with others.
Feel free to message me here or on Facebook if you are part of that group. 😊
@@kittywampus
Yes I'm part of the group. Been trying to locate other Himi riders in the Albuquerque area.
I’m still jealous Ol’ Man.
I don’t even have a place I could test drive one. As in, no dealers in N. Fla.
Keep up the great work and reviews!! 🎉
p.s. Lil Ronin @ 6 min mark.
Sky motorcycles in Sanford?? Not sure how close that is to you
@@OlManRonin Sanford is about 5 hours when you include Ol’ Man bathroom breaks. 😂
@@mandingocalderwood900 ugh sorry brother
@@OlManRonin
No worries. One day brother, one day. 😆
BMW of Jacksonville carries Royal Enfield, I priced the Himalayan OTD at $1000 less than Sky Motorsports in Sanford. Check them out.
OK you have convinced me to arrange a test ride. I intend to get about another 18 months out of my well sorted DRZ400E,possibly buying a Himi for my 70th birthday.
Woohoo and happy birthday
Dang, happy birthday! Keep on truckin’!
@@wicksleysnipes1476 Thanks. I have 18 months to wait until I transition from ABS ( almost bloody seventy) to OBS ( Over Bloody seventy) , during which time I will get my DRZ up towards 60,000 Km if my hip heals well. I am in for a replacement surgery this week.
Hey man just found your channel, great stuff! I am also 6'2" with a 34inch inseam. Did you find the seat pushing you towards the tank? Did you make any seat modifications to your Himalaayan?
Awesome review, thanks for sharing from Australia
This bike is calling to me. I want a dirt road/Jeep trail bike, so it seems perfect. I wonder how much the 2023 450 will be? Jump now or wait? I have questions!
new rider, about to buy one himalayan. thx for the video! whats the name of that gopro holder on your handlebar?
How is the suspension? Does it bottom out pretty easily off-road?
Visited Throttle Company last Sunday, hopefully I be picking one up this week.
Awesomeness Tim. Thats great news and congrats. Tell Dylan, Nicole & Ken I said hi! Cheers
Maybe the scram seat will fit the himalayan. Always enjoy the channel. Cheers Keith
Thanks Keith
I've already asked at my dealer and unfortunately the mountings are quite different.
Got mine this year and will upgrade to the 450 as soon as it is available.
Looks like spring next year.
Hi nice vids on the himalayan you have. I have my full license for 2 years now and drove a seca2 '94 in the mean time. Some big maintenance coming up so I am looking for a younger bike. BMW F800R 2014 in my shortlist, but also a local 22 model himalayan with only 220km on the clock, which is quite an appealing bike. Things I consider are emissions in EU, petrol pricing the next 10 year's when everyone should drive a Tesla. Ease and costs of maintenance. I don't like highways and use my bike for fun-rides in combination with nice weather 3km commute. Short rides realy, to get away from wife and kids as I don't have the space for a mancave. Mostly backroads and an occasional green lane, but the seca2 isnt up for that.This draws me to himalayan, but I am wondering if I would miss the extra power if the himalayan would be my only bike. Head vs heart situation, where I do like the practicality and the looks and pedigree of RE. But also acknowledge BMW for also being a very good bike and having the extra oomph and maybe 'scramblerize' it a little.... c
Could you live with only the himalayan?
602.. still love the look of the Himalayan.... Wish I could have found one lol
Ceat make tires with the "old" molds of Pirelli, so if they use same compound of rubber they are same as Pirelli.
THATS right. Thank you
great video but when wearing headphones the sound effects are deafening!!!!!
Always interesting thanks for speed info what is the weight.
Great vid as always. If I was in the market for a new bike this would be the one.
5:59 Thanks for the chance!
thanks EZ
Little Ronin spotted at 6.00 Greeting from New Zealand
Greetings
I thought the new himilala had a one piece seat,, but I see in the comments it's the scram that had the onesey, having said that, I reprofiled my 2019 seat to improve comfort, and the original cover was poreus,
And I hate that wet but feeling , haha 😂, who don't,
Was I successful yeah kinda, I used a philippine croc belly vinyl, its great in the rain and don't mind the heat and beating sun,
But did the reprofiling , make the improvement I was looking for ,,,,, honestly nope!, I'm still working on that! 🤪
Looks cool 😎 now but my butt still complains after 50/60 miles.
I have had mine for a week road it twice I have road hd for fifty years so far I like the change retired now and Himalayan much cheaper all around
My Indy dealer is taking deposits now for the new Scram. Looking forward to your opinion when they get here.
when I get the opportunity for sure
Mine too.
Was going to purchase a Himalayan 2022 this week. After learning on your channel that a tuner doesn’t work on them I won’t bother now. Thanks for the information. Even the big bore kit won’t work on the 22. They basically cut the balls off the bike. Don’t understand why you have such high regards for the 22.
have you ridden one?
@@OlManRonin Well researched the bike thoroughly and found out through the dealership that all US Himalayans in 2022 are euro 4. Except California. So I bought one and will receive it this coming week. You’ve put together some good information on the Himalayan in your videos. Keep up the good work.
I saw the mini Ronin @13:10. I have a 2019 Himalayan and took it for my first moto camping trip a few weeks back. very capable bike. heard that there's going to be a 450cc version coming out sometime. this might be something to consider if you're going to be spending some time on the highways. tried sending an email, but it keeps failing.
olmanronin@gmail.com ??
@@OlManRonin thanks.
Do you have a video on the sunglasses you recommend?
Not an in depth, but I wear them nearly all the time even working in the shop, since they are ANSI rated. Hipster Sparks (grinder) have never hurt them lol
I have one, in Europe. Greetings to all.
Greetings and welcome Elvis.
Have they fixed the issues with the '20 and '21 bikes?
far as I know
Little Ronan @minute 6
I'm going to take a look at the sunglass company because I really need a set that fit in my helmet. For some reason I can't fit sunglasses while I use a helmet it's just to tight.
Thanks for an informative video.
Maxx Eyewear makes a lot of motorcycle specific sunglasses. Check description for website and discount code
@@OlManRonin I did that's. I also retested with them so I can keep an eye on offers.

CEAT tires started in Italy but is now in India. Europe to India. Who would do that?
They are owned by a parent company that makes everything from cell towers to oil pipelines to pharmaceuticals. Other than their Italian origins I can find no relationship between them an Pirelli. Pirelli is publicly held (stocks) but run by a Chinese company.
I understand the switch to CEAT was due to import tariffs in India.
If you say pretty please along with that please please please.....Royal Enfield just miiiight think about designing the seat the way you would like it! LOL!!!
Marvellous video, marvellous bike 😊
Thank you and agreed 100%
You got a subscriber from India.
awesomeness and welcome my friend
My 2021 has been a mechanical failure from day one. 2800 miles and it's back at the dealership again for a new fuel pump. I'm glad you're having great luck with yours. Mine is gone as soon as I get it back. I've ridden for 58 years and this is the most unreliable motorcycle I've ever owned.
yours is an anomaly for sure. The dealers around me have sold hundreds of Himalayans and virtually zero issues. Our riders say it is the MOST reliable bike theyve ever owned. You say fuel pump issues what else?
Sir
I'm glad you're having such good luck with your Himalayan. I really enjoy your channel and watch pretty much every episode. My purchase was in part due to your praise of the motorcycle and just how much fun it looked to ride. Maybe the new fuel pump will change my attitude towards the bike.
Keep riding, keep safe and keep putting out the great content.

Mine is a carbureted 2016 model...had a lot of issues fixed under warranty in the first year till 15000kms....but not a single problem till now at 35000kms..i just love my bike
@@johnrichardson4016 just for the hell of it, but did you know that Hitchcock sells a carburetor retrofit kit?
@@edjones2110 switch out the 4 relays under the seat and the one relay on the side of the frame. 21 models had shitty relays. Take one off and have your local auto parts guy find you a better replacement which they do sell. Good luck
RE is coming up with a 450 CC, 35 HP liquid cooled Himalayan, I think that would be more practical for American roads.
Meh i don't know about that. Someone would still complain. If you watch all my Himalayan videos, you'll see i go everywhere with the bike ESPECIALLY where the bike was designer for, the rough and tough roads and NOT roads of America. The bike is perfect for what it does imho
I chucked a tec cam on my 2021 him, air filter, 16 tooth front sprocket, d.i.d. chain. All good on the road, irid plug, changed relays.
@@robertpadfield1588 could you tell us what you noticed most? The biggest improvement?
I’m torn between a Himmi and a KLR650 with 2.5 inches shaved off of the saddle.
I need something that can move down these NWestern highways. They are 70-80mph.
I’m considering waiting for the 450. Esp since it’s so late in the season. I’m 43 and this will be my first bike in 25 years. I’m weight training specifically for riding and picking up the bike after dirt naps!
@@wicksleysnipes1476 it may be a couple years out. not even available in India and they are at least 9 months or more ahead of us
Well a 450 cc liquid cooled Himalayan is on the way
Okay so I’m 6’3” and I have long legs. my biggest worry before purchasing this bike is that I will be too tall because of the lowered seat
Just seen the little guy at 6mins into the vid so count me in for those snazzy shades please 🏴☠️
snazzy shades rule!
does the 2022 model need the booster plug ?
Great Bike Great video ronin I see more & more of these now in the uk not heard anything negative about them only silly things that can be modified!
Can I ask you,will you be doing a review on the Scram? Keep up the good work dude👍🏻😎
Yes I will. They are coming to my area soon. Cheers
I have to agree with you about the seating position. I’m only 5’9” and I don’t think I could ride with my legs in that position very long. I sat on a Himalayan when I was bike shopping. That was the biggest turn off for me. Also I like to be too scoot back a bit on the seat.
Where are these bike made
Wish i have my own hima 🖤 ❤
They tyres are good in most conditions but they really don’t like mud
truth. I swithced to the Shinko 700 Series for my off roading
Saw little Ronin at 9:20 am
6:00 mark for Mini Ronin
Ronin, you are famous in Chennai 👍👍
Seriously? what a huge honor. I hope they all subscribe it would mean a lot
Saw lilttle ronin @ 5:58
Can you review Hero X pulse bike 🚲 ?
i saw the add at 2:00 p.m.
6:00 mark for Mini Ronin.
Needs a BAAK exhaust 😁
The CEAT tyres last well past 22000kms....
I've just changed mine at 4000 miles to put TKC80's on, the front still had a couple of thousand but the rear was close to the legal limit, you must be very gentle with yours. Thought they were pretty good while they lasted though.
Definitely nice bikes. But. I will buy whatever I want.
The only problem with this bike is the weight, which makes it feel more underpowered than it is. It just has adequate power they just need to trim down some weight
I like the weight it is a workhorse not a thoroughbred. look at it that way.
10:17 a Swedish humanoid?😂😂
LMAO
