RevZilla how well does the csc compare to the Honda cb500x?
Great video btw 🙂👍🏼
Im so pumped!! Zack and Ari are back!!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩
What about Motortrend Throttle Out? Is that over? Still shows that the show is planning a season 3, is that true?
Hey RevZilla, we need more of these comparisons by these guys
Could you review on the KTM Adventure 390?
Things good about 2020: Zac and Ari are back
End of list
It’s a short list but strong all the same.
While Lemmy retired. 😔
Guess who just got back today
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed that much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
The boys are back in town
Canuck YT MC Host Domination continues, eh?
"tractor like engine" is the best description for RE engines. It just pulls relentlessly and gradually.
Sound yikes
Sounds fun.
This is what i love in my honda xl600. On trails and harsh inclines it just chugs along no matter what
@@voltgaming2213 Absolute cringe.
I have so much respect now for I bike I had thought nothing off before.
I just love the look of the Himalayan. Looks so timeless and simple but also modern in a strange way. Cool bike
they legit copied the bmw GS desigjn
@@troymaharrey7048 I think you mean the other bike ya dork
Yea man love the look of the Himalayan. It's just not a good enough bike tho. The new Himalayan 450 should be amazing. Apparently will have almost double the hp and some more modern features but still the great classic design.
@@bena3341 that would be awesome. Own the current Himalayan and it’s obscenely slow
@@troymaharrey7048 lmao what not even close, gs is way more chunky
I don’t think we can comprehend the amount of editing to create a masterpiece like this. Narration. Audio sync with multiple camera angles. Super impressive.
Why don't you upload now
@@ShubhamMishrabro People move on to different chapters in their lives.
Every time I see a RE Himalayan on UA-cam it makes me happy. What a neat bike.
Truly it's a great bike
Amazing machinary
lucky that india owns it not china
Too bad theyre prone to snapping at the steering axle
Itchy Boots was doing a really cool trip from South America all the way to Alaska with one until COVID stopped her in Peru.
The chinese csc just straight up copied the bmw gs design.
Thats why it looks so nice..😂😂😂
Chinese 🤣
what did you expect them to do? innovate? lol
@@grantmillispie1881 still it doesn't work anywhere close to the gs😂 shameless chaps😅😅
China is only good at copying and nothing else.
I rode a RE actually in the Himalaya, sometimes it felt like it could climb vertical walls. It was so easy to ride and never gave up. Really nice bike.
12:44 RevZilla: "This is the terrain of the Himalayas"
Actual Himalayan Riders: "That's just a good spot "
😂😂lol
I just got back from a 2000 km trip on my Himalayan (her name is Laverne, fyi). It's easily 10x longer than any trip I've ever ridden and I was a little apprehensive, but she did great. I mounted Tusk boxes for a couple hundred bucks instead of the $700 RE boxes, a plastic top box I could have done without, and a 30L dry bag, plus my 100kg. Laverne did great. The fastest I went was a little more than 60mph, but I was on twisty secondary roads through the Appalachians, so there wasn't much opportunity to go faster.
I've been riding for almost 35 years and this is hands down my favorite bike. I haven't done stuff like in this video, but it's obvious a Himalayan is capable. She's a sturdy little mule: She won't run like a thoroughbred, but she'll take me and my stuff damn near anywhere I want to go.
Well said sir! It is a bike that does
It all simply and like an old friend has got your back
If you're going fast, its not an adventure.
After buying a Himalayan a few months ago, it does my heart good to see people, who know what they're talking about, speak well about it. This is my intro into the ADV world
unlike yammie noob who hasnt even ridden the RE Himalayan
My same sentiment. Like having an approving nod by my dad.
If you drop other bikes then you will break plastic
But when you drop royal enfield, you will break the floor
Himalayan is a metal
@KillTheTank baat sahi hai aapki. But it’s true, RE full ispat hai 😂
CRINGE.
Nokia of bikes🤣
@@Otto45 CRINGE 1000
I don't even have bike license but holy the Himalayan looks appealing to me. Gotta love the classic durable look, with the small somewhat modern technology put into it. This bike is fully made to enjoy the ride and its proven it can go into places it really didn't meant to go to. I would choose that bike in a heart-beat for long roadtrips.
Comments:
0.1% - yea nice review and comparison. This bike is better than that bike.
99.9% - OMG!!! Zac and Ari are back!!!!
Some things are simply more important than others
Eric Jr nope!
We miss Zack and Ari so much. The style of motorcycling content they do is just relatable to a simple dude. They make it simple, fun and natural
@@That_Cajun_Guy exactly
After 1 week and 200 miles, I'm in love with my Himmy already. After the motor is warm, and below 75mph that is..
Do the first and second oil changes when prescribed (don't forget to clean out the little screen on the left side of the case), check the valves, use a halfway-decent quality oil, and it'll keep getting smoother - especially the transmission - as you put miles on it. I've got a little over 4300 miles on mine now (bought new) and love the thing.
@@chargerguy1973 just hit 20,000km on mine and she runs better than when she was new
@@bjorn1583 That's great to hear. Actually that's the thing with REs, after the second servicing, you'll feel like you're riding a machine from heaven. Hope you #RidePure with the RE Himalayan. Love from India from another RE owner !
@Ryan McAbee My ex's nick name was himmy😅😅😅
Why would you go at 75mph on a himmy
Tf!! 😂 I'm impressed
Love the way he said : "If the camera man knows i'm gonna knock his head off"
After hearing this video referenced in the latest High Side/Low Side podcast, I had to come back and watch it again - maybe the 3rd of 4th time. This is one of the videos that contributed to my decision to purchase a Himalayan in November of 2020 as my first bike at 40, and I'm still riding it to this day - just ticked over 11k miles. Such an impressive little burro, like Zack says. Considering how much time these guys have spent around motorcycles, the fact that they still hold the Himy in high regard 3 years later speaks to the longevity of the bike too. Like Ari says, you can do all the maintenance yourself, even the valve checks and adjustments - it's so unintimidating in every imaginable way. Everybody told me to get a cheap used bike but I think that was a riskier proposition and may have discouraged me. If you want to ride and learn to maintain your bike confidently, just get a Royal Enfield.
Zac and Ari are back on our screens?
All is right in the world.
(well, not really but this is good start)
close enough lmao
I own a Himalayan, never thought myself as a cheapskate...
Good video. Enjoyed it.
No u r choose that wisely.👍
@Sushant Bhargav i dont think its expensive....
It's not expensive, nor is it being a cheapskate!! It's called being clever, smart and the fact you haven't been brand raped..... Oh, and I have one 👍
I just completed the MABDR, on my enfield Himalayan. While on the MABDR, I was asked like 1000 times if the Himalayan was any good. My answer was, its going everywhere your bike is....it's a great bike with a bad rap. Look up the MABDR. IT WAS FUN. Next year I'm doing the TAT ( Trans American Trail) with my cheap Himalayan....lol
@@ernestmoore189 haha love it!! I love mine too, many trips around UK without a glitch! I went to Wales and was following 2 guys up the black mountain pass on their gs's, all going together.... Cost them £15k cost me £3.5k.....ALL RIDING TOGETHER lol
Love your adventures and the way you compare bikes. This was my favorite one yet. I especially liked the teamwork getting up the mountain! I'm always looking forward to your next adventure
I used to watch your videos a lot back in MCGarage so I was kinda sad when you guys left. It’s nice to finally be able to watch you guys again here in Revzilla. I’m more than happy to subscribe cause I know I’ll learn al lot from you guys! More power to your channel!
Ari and Zac are back. Maybe this year won't be a complete disaster.
Sorry, but I think 2020 already is a disaster.
It is a disaster.

Itchy Boots is the true authority on Himalayan
Yupp
Loved her videos and basanti and now donnov
Absolutely and totally agree!!
And then she got rid of it and got a CB500X.
@@toqtoq3361 Sorry, Noraly's bright blue eyes will win out every time.
I stumbled across your videos when I saw the ct90 and ct125 ride across Alaska. I recently purchased a ct 125. Now I can’t stop watching you guys. You show the good and the bad and seem to have a good time. You ever do a group ride count me in.
I gotta give props to the people writing the script for these journeys and editing. It has a clear narrative, a call to adventure, highs and lows, tests along the way, the final battle, the reward, everything. Makes for a brilliant half hour of entertainment.
This is how Revzilla will break the 1 million subs threshold. Boss move
Zack and Ari, literally the only reason I clicked on the video.
If so then good for Revzilla, they have my sword! And my axe!!!
1 week and almost 100k views, you know this guys has good fanbase.
Im a fan since Ari had fashionable dreadlocks🤘🤘🤘😂
Imaging Ryan from Fortnine coming onboard too - that would be sick. Kinda sad that Lemmy isn't around anymore though...
indeed, love to see these guys ;D
and subbed ofc :D
After seeing Itchyboots riding he Himalayan that would be choice all day long
Dhanno and Basanti
Itchy boots is on her third honda now.
This is the most perfect review I have seen till now
That's a lot of hardwork for testing and reviewing the bikes love this team 🔥❤️
Zack and Ari are literally the two best motorcycle personalities to work together in history. Love every video they create together. Well done to them and the production team!
I ignored this video for days.
If the title had "Zac and Ari" I would've watched it on day 1 !
Oh man, same here. I ignored it before thinking it was too long and i wasn't interested.
I have waited this long only just watched it. Damb I love these guys
same here, wasted me 6 months, don't understand why they didn't mention ari and zack at all!

Welcome back. Thank you Revzilla for making the investment in entertaining moto content. Revzilla is now my parts house. See how that works.
Right there with you Gary! This is how you get loyal customers
I missed you guys and these great videos. Don't know how you ended up at Revzilla but I am really delighted that you did!
Welcome back! So good to have you guys and this sort of content back.
Thank you, Revzilla. I usually shop a handful of sites before I click “buy” for the latest motorcycle gear I need. However, now that you’ve managed to bring some much-needed awesomeness, i.e. Zac and Ari on a motorcycling adventure, into one unbelievably crummy year, I’ll keep clicking Revzilla for my gear purchases for the foreseeable future. My wife said, “what are you watching that’s making you smile like that?” The boys are back....
Well said! 👍

I ditched my BMW for one. No regrets.

Love this video you guys. Well done. It’s fun to see an adventure on plain cheap practical bikes. The Himalayan does look pretty cool. But seriously this just inspires me to get out and ride. Adventure is out there!
Your banter is great. Thanks for the review and honest riding, showing spills. Loved the launch over the rock and semi recovery.
waited too long for this. please don't go anywhere now
Thanks, fellas!
I'm jockeying to buy a used 2019 Himalayan for 3 grand.
Fell in love with it at first sight.
I'm a plodder as a driver, so the beast will likely never see 65, let alone 80.
Wish me luck
And if you found a decent Himalayan for $3K, jump on it!
Buy a new one darn it, they are dirt cheap
if it is from the first batch of Himalayan, check it thoroughly the chassis, steering etc...they had some issues which were later fixed in the later models...
@@superchargedpetrolhead
Thanks!
The deal is on hold, but the machine reviews are encouraging.
I'm not a speed demon and its low torque appeals to me.
Get the 2020 version
Fantastic video, I loved every single minute of it.
Thank you guys so much!
3:30 Love how stable the RE is...just look at the difference.
That Bs4 Himalayan is legit🤘🤘🤘 though its been proven bullet proof since Itchyboots rode it from India to Netherland. Hope you interview her some time, such an awesome gal.😊
Most bikes could be ridden from india to holland with no problems
@@the.communist yes comrade all bikes and our bikes could get from India to the Netherlands😁
@mld 🤘🤘🤘 what a lady, hardcore. With ovaries of steel😂
surprised that Himalayan reviews don't mention Noraly of Itchy Boots. Not just India to Holland (mostly offroad) but also Argentina to Peru and then stopped in her tracks by the pandemic.
also, open face helmet offroad with lots of loose rock? not sure about that choice, but everyone's different.
Yes, but she did have Indian Royal Enfield dealership mechanics go over her bike twice. So the fit and finish was less of an issue. I own one, as you’ll see behind me, and it is definitely true that things need to be tighten regularly or lock-tightened when allowable, or things will start trying to fall off. But I still love my little burro.
Great to watch you guys again! That was some hardcore terrain!
I kept looking for more Throttle Out episodes to appear, and they never did. So glad I found you guys over here on RevZilla! Can't wait to see more content!
Glad you guys are back! I have been watching for new throttle outs and came across your new show.

Have you done a video about the new Tiger Sport 660 ?? if you haven’t looking forward to it!
Thanks again!
Imagine riding the dangerous trails of Himalayas with that CSC. You cant even imagine right.
शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ Took a desert storm 500 to ladakh from delhi 3 years ago. what rubbish it was ! unnesserily heavy. 2 ywars ago did a solo with my duke 200....with off road tyres ! and boy was it easy or what. saved so much time and effort really !
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ you my friend would never know how it is to ride in himayalas, RE Himalayan is a mule and is perfect for himalayan mountains, hoped it has a bit.more power
@शिरीष ರಾಮಾಯ The bullet sucks for riding in the Himalayas. I did the Manali-Leh highway then up to the Nubra Valley and then over to Pangong lake and the Himalayan was hands down a better bike for those rough roads. The bullet was hands down a better bike on the pavement. I did ride a bullet over some of those passes but my front fender was dented really bad from hitting the engine/frame and I was beat to death on it. Not so with the Himmy. Great bike!
@@karthikvs9635 RE is not built for Himalayas . Just because it has higher low revving torque doesn't mean it's offroad . One fall at steep hilly road and it will be difficult to get back up . No proper suspension and too heavy
Man ... I have a classic 500 RE..no trail is left in Let area or Gujarat Salt Lake or somewhat desert trails. Just enjoyed every bit of it.
“Enfield’s tractor like engine” 😆
That really is the best way to describe it. If you know what driving a tractor feels like, it like that on two wheels. It will pull you up practically anything if you can handle it, but you won’t be setting any speed records.
100%
Billy TheKidder well said. 👍😊
@@BillyTheKidder -- I describe mine as a faithful little mule. She's not fast like a thoroughbred, but she'll go *anywhere*.

I have a 500 cc enfield... Top speed 140 kmph down a slope...
And I'm never doing that again cuz I've never been closer to death... She feels like she's about to become a million parts...
Just treat her well and stable below 100 kmph... (60 MPH) and she'll take you wherever you want to go...

There's a good reason why it has taken off in the adventure bike sector and not those Kawasakis or the Chinese junks!
