I rode the RE Himalayan for a week in Morocco last November, 1000km from Marrakech to the Sahara desert and back and can’t fault it to be honest, great value for money. No wonder it’s been selling very well here in the UK
Agree. Get one. My dad is 76 and just bought one. He hasn’t ridden in 55 years and is having the time of his life. I want one of these bikes for myself.
Well this is a funny coincidence. That trailhead is right off of my old friends place. Saw you go by and we were trying to make out what type of bike it was. I’ll let him know it was a Royal Enfield!
Back in my day, you never admitted to riding your sister’s bike because your friends would rib you endlessly. That said, Bill, you should try for a fall return to that trail for the amazing colours and the streams would run a lot lower. Excellent video as always 👍
Beautiful landscape in Montana. REH really is the perfect bike for such landscape. Thank you for doing things a little different and enjoyed the ride with you
Nice! Good sport taking that little tank out on real singletrack! Tough clutch in it to get as far as it did. I'm hoping 440lbs is a typo? Can a 25 HP bike really weigh 440? 340 I can see, that's about what my 21 690R KTM weighs.....with 74HP. 2 stroke is for sure the way to go on any real singletrack.
Great video man! Looks like some pretty tricky single track action there! Sounds like that bike could benefit from some lower gearing in that kind of terrain. I have been impressed with what Royal Enfield has been producing, this bike is great value for what it can do.
Fun vid Bill! Hey you should consider a trip to SpeedWeek at Bonneville in august, we’ll be there with a couple vintage Yamaha racebikes.. always a huge adventure, tons of unique speed machines to marvel at!
Thanks I agree - chest cam works well for the vintage bikes, but I now know it need to be a helmet mount for the modern ADV bikes. Thanks for watching!!
Just got the new Triumph Scrambler 400X, great bike, you would like it. 40 pounds lighter than the RE, water cooled and 40 HP. I would have quit at the narrow bridge, but you are a way better rider than me. Anyway, try out the new 400X, you will like it.
You do like a challenge Bill. I’ve heard some good things about those Royal Enfields and the new 400 Triumphs. Do you think the Cub would have handled that trail?
The cub would have handled it no problem and I wouldn’t even think about turning around! I hadn’t thought about it in those terms but since you mentioned it, it is pretty interesting. Now I may bring the cub next time 🤔😁
This song has made me want to go to Montana for 50 years! Bit of a problem, I live in Raglan, Monmouthshire in South Wales, though my younger brother Scot lives in Roseville CA so who knows? as usual, great video Bill ua-cam.com/video/Qs0CGOwWmCI/v-deo.html
No way!! I have a Himalayan and I live in Bozeman! Your sister and I should be riding buddies! This made my day!! I'm a huge fan, Bill!

Damn dude, at 71, I want to get one of these to putt around in the woods!
Do it! So fun!

That’s crazy! What a coincidence!

🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for the laugh!! Solid recommendation too!
Royal Enfield really hit the sweet spot with the Himalayan. A lovely little adv bike, easy to ride and live with.👍
So true!
Excellent Bill. Beautiful area. Thanks for the ride. Nick. UK
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to watch your adventure mate. This bike is a tractor...lol. I rode one in the Himalayas last year. Loved it.
I love the video man! So excited for your big adventure coming up! You have inspired me to get my project bike finished. Keep it up
Beautiful landscape in Montana. REH really is the perfect bike for such landscape. Thank you for doing things a little different and enjoyed the ride with you
My pleasure! Thanks for watching and commenting 👍
Stunning scenery. Another great video
I have same year 17000 miles doesn't burn any oil. Completed several BDRs. Only complaint the frame is not that robous. Keep an eye out for cracks.😮
Good to know!!
Wow that’s a tough one.

Thanks so much! Yes lower gearing would allow for less clutch work, but overall I was quite impressed with this machine👍
We love our Himmie. Put a TEC camshaft in it and a full system exhaust. So much fun, amd easy to work on too
Right on!
Fun vid Bill! Hey you should consider a trip to SpeedWeek at Bonneville in august, we’ll be there with a couple vintage Yamaha racebikes.. always a huge adventure, tons of unique speed machines to marvel at!
Would love to make it out! Seems unlikely with my current obligations but I’ll keep it in my mind in case some free time materializes 👍👍
Ty doing a wheelie across the bridge, it will keep your bars above the rail, just make sure it’s on video 😂
👏👏👏✌️😎👍 Me encantó, aventura extrema
7:50 sketchy 😂
Great video as always - thanks. How does the Himalayan compare to a B44 or B50?
Any ride where Bill doesn’t destroy his sister’s bike, is a good ride.
Haha yes!
I would have ridden the water, LOL!
With moto boots and time to dry them, I would have too! 😆😆
You nailed it dude. Camera needed to be higher, mostly saw only the clocks, headstock and screen, not the very technical trail.
Thanks I agree - chest cam works well for the vintage bikes, but I now know it need to be a helmet mount for the modern ADV bikes. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll check it out!

You gotta love a Cub🤓
Hope you were able to keep your feet dry on the way back. 😂
Nice ride!
Somehow I did! 😆
Quit the adventure Bill!
You wouldn't have got a big BMW GS over that little bridge!
Haha. You’re probably right!
🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
First comment great video Billy. Who’s Joe Montaña?
🤣🤣🤣 “I said Joe Montainya”
Chuck Taylors kinda like tech 7's.......
Haha kind of!!
My KTM 690 Enduro R is 100 lbs lighter and has 75 hp. These Himalayans are really lacking in power.
That is just not the bike for what you are doing
Any bike is the bike if you ain’t a quitter
