It was good to see how to access the air cleaner. I think the demand for this bike may outstrip supply!
Glad you enjoyed the video, and yes the first shipment to Australia is all pre-sold.
Excellent close up of the new Himalayan Pete. To see it in close detail is always great. Alot of positives to see and keen to see it up and about for a test ride (whenever that will be), hopefully soon. Covered it well Pete, great watch! 👍😁
Thanks heaps as usual Bob. Sure was good to it in the flesh. R.E. are continuing to improve at a budget price.
It's bittersweet seeing the new 452 next to the old 411, but i guess 411 served It's purpose
( ＾∀＾).
Royal Enfield had to start somewhere, and the old Himalayan has served them well. The 452 has raised the bar, and certainly a step in the right direction.
Good to see one in Aus
It's always exciting to see New Models. The Himalayan is a popular bike.
Great walkaround video! Cheers from NZ!
Thanks Heaps James, great to hear from a Kiwi. Regards FPPete.
Great look at the bike Pete.
Thank you for your comment. I'm looking forward to test riding a demo bike when one is available. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Worth watching for the great music!
Thanks, You gotta love the UA-cam Studio Tunes. No Copyright issues. Regards FPPete.
Quality looking bike, saw it in the flesh yesterday. But geez it feels heavier than i anticipated.
Yeah it's not a light bike for sure, It's built to a budget. So price makes it attractive.
Not heavyer as the old one. 192kg fully loaded.
Looks good Pete, I'm interested in looking at one of these or the mt 450. I like that they give you the hex nut for front axle , you don't get that with a triumph 😅. Looks a like a great all-rounder adv bike.
Hi bazz, thanks mate. Hope to do a ride review when a demo bike is available. regards FPPete.
Good one Pete
Thanks heaps mcq, glad you enjoyed the review. How is your DR650?
What a great first look review. I've never heard of a dealer allowing access to the service items as they have done here. Well done! I imagine an aftermatket subframe is in the wind: my expandable Shad box weighs more than 7kg empty. Thanks for the review.
The bike appears to be very solid, I think you could load it up with no problems. Thanks for your comment, really appreciated. Regards FPPete.
G'day Pete , Solid review, you definitely get a lot of bike for the money.Although my loyalty still is with the Japanese made bike's, this 450 would be in the mix if i decided to change my mind. Good to see Aussie Bob rocking the mad dog . Cheers 🍻
Hi Will, great comment as usual. Yeah mate, I'm with you on the Jap bikes. There is huge interest in the Himalayan 450, and R.E. are gonna sell heaps.
Schönes Video danke fürs zeigen Grüße aus Deutschland
Glad you enjoyed the video, And fantastic to get a comment from Germany. Regards FPPete.
all these international videos, no one looks at airfilter. First aussie video, find that airfilter :D got your priorities right
Exactly, It's the first thing I look for. Pain in the backside if you gotta pull half the bike apart to clean the Air Filter. I will investigate it further, and see how long it would take.
@@FULLPELTAdventures yeah, it’s giving me second thoughts about the himi450 tbh. Transalp is the same
@@slakk5093huh? looks a piece of cake! undo the tank, take that connector and hoses off and 3 allen key bolts..would take me about 5minutes if that!
@@AndyPat239& with where it's located it will face a lot less dust aswell..🧐
Easier then a Desert X😂
Thinking of making this bike or the CRF 300L Rally my first bike. Excited to see RE made this bike even more awesome!
Both bikes are a great choice for Novice through to experienced riders. Try and test ride them both first, this will help your decision. The Honda is a cracking bike, with loads of aftermarket goodies available. Regards FPPete.
It is very good to see the demand of Indian bikes in foreign soil
Yeah Royal Enfield has a good following here in Australia. Quality, Reliability and Price are bringing sales here. Regards FPPete.
Really cool little bike, I'd love to give it a try. The simplicity reminds me of the DR650, quite the opposite of working on the Africa Twin! :)
Hi Speedytrip, It sure is a step forward for R.E. And yeah it's simplicity will, like the DR650, be one of it's big selling points. Regards FPPete.
She's beautiful and here's to miles o' 'good ole ridin'. Cheers and kind regards to you and yours. [edit] Joystick, display and USB are most welcome, aside from the all new build + HP.
She sure is a Beauty, Royal Enfield will sell a lot of these bikes. Regards FPPete.
Himalayan looks pretty sick ❤
Ha Ha, Yeah it's a rugged looking Beast. Regards FPPete.
Could u pls try reviewing even for the tvs apache rr310..im sure ull like it..😅pls see through it..❤and regarding this video im really glad..this was a rare video treasure 😁 about the Himalayan...love from India
Hi, The Apache RR310 is not available in Australia, However I do plan to do a Review on G310R. Regards FPPete.
That’s full pelt Pete. That must be a pre production model? Was that one tubeless?
Hi TallyHoTech, Yes the bike was not available to ride. It's going to all the Royal Enfield dealers, Essendon was lucky to be the first. I didn't query the Tubeless Tyres, I'm waiting for the real Demo bike to arrive, and take it for a Test Ride and go over it with a fine tooth comb.
We had a sneaky peek too as some bikes are touring the dealers in the UK,the bike in the video has inner tubed wheels as spokes run central & thru the rim. The tubeless wheels have all the spokes running to the outside edge of the rim. Can wait to take out a demo Pete like your good self.
Looks like it will be easier to put up on center stand.
Yes it was very easy to operate the Centre Stand. The side stand has a very big bend in it, but seems to work O.K.
Great video. I have been asking, but no news on availability of the 805mm / low seat. Do you have any insights on its availability for Australian market?
Glad you enjoyed the video. I have no information on the low seat availability. When the first shipment of Himalayan's arrives in Australia, I will enquire about the low seat and other accessories. Regards FPPete.
Hi mate, will you be doing a ride and review?
I hope so😊
Hi Phil, Defiantly doing a ride review when I can get a Demo Bike. It may be a few months wait. First shipment is all pre-sold. But as soon as Essendon Motorcycles have one to ride, I will be all over it. I can't wait.
The biggest letdown is to not have tubeless tires.
Come on, Royal Enfield, we're living in the 21st century ..
It may come down to cost, these are budget machines. There are arguments against tubeless rims as well. Thanks for your comment, Great talking point. Regards FPPete.
2 of the models have tubeless, but tubed tyres are safer as they do not deflate as quickly as tubeless. If you damage the rim on tubeless you are fuct, start walking. I have only had 2 punctures in 53 yrs and would have tubed every time.
@@blackskunk54Experience speaks itself🙇
The 2024 Himalayan sold here in the states is the old model, not the new one. The new model has not even arrived here. Maybe during the summer it will show up in America.
Thanks for your comment, great to hear from USA. Yeah it seems America is the last to see new models, Usually it's Europe first ,then Asia, then the states. Regards FPPete.
Congratulations for your new bike 🎉🎉 Are the previous issues from the first lot (First launch) of 450 bikes (vibrations, headlight misalignment, handlebar tilting to the right) resolved in this second lot of 450? I have booked my bike and am awaiting delivery, but I'm still worried about its worth due to the reviews I've seen on the internet.
I did not purchase the bike, I was just reviewing a demonstration Model. We could not ride it. I have not heard of any issues, but I'm sure the warranty will sort out any problems if they arise. regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures Thank you for replying .
Previous model was good looking...
The Himalayan has been a winner for Royal Enfield from the start, and looks like it's going to continue to a big seller for them. Regards FPPete.
looks like a good adv bike, rugged and enough go to get you into and out of trouble...
cracking price too 😊
Hi Andy, I think you have said it all. Regards FPPete.
Nice 😊
It sure is a step up from the previous model. Regards FPPete.
Quick question for you. What bike would you choose between the new Himalayan and the DR650 Tanami edition. Im contemplating between the two
Hi John, I am very happy with the DR650. It is a proven, reliable Bike, after-market upgrades are endless, so you can build an adventure bike to your liking. The Himalayan sure is an exciting new addition for Royal Enfield, It will be a big seller. It has fuel injection, and liquid cooled. Test ride both if you can and see what is best for you. Regards FPPete.
It's looking good but still waiting for the 500 t bmw gsa but the price will be the winning bike if to far apart
One concern is the emissions exhaust underneath the bike for melting anything jimmy WA
Good point Jimmy, Something to think about. May need a decent bash plate to cover it.
Nice bike
It sure is an improvement over the last model. They sure will sell a few.
How heavy is it to pick up ,looks ok first glance
At nearly 200kg, it will be heavy to pick up.
Thank you! Very good movie! I'm waiting in Poland! Greetings from Poland❤
Thank you for watching and Fantastic to here from a Polish viewer. I hope to get a ride on the 450 in a few months time. Regards FPPete.
❤ poland❤
A couple of years ago I bought a 350 Meteor, the best bike I have ever ridden, such fun and great in traffic. The only issue is top speed..should I upgrade, this looks the thing...or a Triumph 400.
I love the 350 Meteor, such a cool looking bike. The Himalayan 450 is a fantastic Adventure bike that can do everything. Check my latest video on the 450. Test ride as many bikes as you can, and think about what matters to you, and how your going to use it, Commuting, off road Adventure riding etc. Regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures None of that stuff I am 72 years old and ride with the missus with minimum luggage. I hate highways and if I can only do 100kph, they get up my arse...So these 40bhp bikes look the part. I never liked the 411 Himalayan looks wise but the 450 looks good, so does the 400x scrambler. What would you go for, I used to be 6 ft...🤣
@@allanb52 Hi allan, I have not had a ride on the scrambler 400 so I can't comment. The Himalayan is a great all rounder. Test ride them. Regards FPPete.
What is price of Himalayan 450 in Australia?
The current price is $8990, which is great value.
Put my order in for that colour, now waiting n waiting n waiting for the demo (UK) ...zzz 💤
Hopefully your wait won't be too long. Congrats on your new bike. Regards FPPete.
Is it available for sale??
In Australia, as I understand, they are taking pre-orders, with the first shipment due in about 3 weeks time. Regards FPPete.
I am 5.7" can I ride this comfortably?
Yes you can, You will be on the balls of your feet when sitting on the bike, Or try the low seat option. Test ride if you can, this will help you decide if the Himalayan is right for you. Check my latest video, where I put the bike through it's paces. Regards FPPete.
ughhh can't decide between this one or CFmoto 450 MT
same here 450 mt 4 me
@@vindictive999I can, KTM.
They are priced the same, and yeah I can't wait to see the 450 MT. Hopefully do a review.
not available in brasil :))))))
Oh that's too bad. would sell O.K. I would have thought. Regards FPPete.
Air filter a pain to get out and clean..
When I get my hands on the demo model for a ride review, I will get a good look at how the air is fed into the airbox, how easy/difficult the air filter change is, and look at the filter as well. Regards FPPete.
Tubed tyres? Deal breaker!
Each to their own on the Tube/Tubeless Tyres. Either way the new Himalayan is going to be very popular. Regards FPPete.
This or triumph scrambler 400x
The Himalayan would be a better off-road bike in my opinion. Try and test ride both if you can, so you know what is right for you. Regards FPPete.
Lots of complaint being registered by indian users. Let's see how the Aus model does...
Thanks Alex, I hope the Aussie Bikes are reliable with little to no issues. However there is a 3 year warranty period I believe, so that should take care of any problems. Regards FPPete.
@@FULLPELTAdventures yeah warranty is good but if your bike spends all its time at the service center for warranty parts replacement, then what's the use.
These are the issues to look for while you test it.
-Bike pulling right when hands off handlebar.
-Con set issues
-Loud tappet sounds(louder then exhaust😂)
-Vibrations through out the rev range
-tank leaks when it's full and on side stand🤦♂️
-sound while braking(great brakes but the brembo pads do make sound)
Bad headlights too but then again which bike has a good one.
For the tappet issue, they have been replacing the whole engine head. But issue returns, Conser they overtights it for now, but that affects the handling and solves nothing.
Other than these, it's other fit and finish issues that can be ignored.
Wow, how grotty in the exhibition bike. What no one can be bothered to hose her down. Poor form.
Not sure what you mean, the bike looked spotless to me.
It’s a motorbike, someone probably rode it.
@@chiefthief032 Yeah chief, you may be on to something.
