I am not sure what day this was but I took my brand new, delivered Wednesday and still running in, Himalayan 450 around the Bridgestone Trail for my first ever off road session and came a cropper in that deep rut that you mentioned, I was wondering if it was me ahead but it wasn’t haha. I came and said Hi to you while you were down near the Urals. Looking forward to the side stand fix, I had a chat with the design engineer from RE and offered a couple of suggestions. He told me it is the American requirements that has created the excessive lean angle.
Hi buddy, the trail can catch you out at times. The ruts can pop out of nowhere. I’ve managed to damage the Himi bent thr crash bar and a dent in the tank 🤐 that’s interesting about the side stand and I’m sure RE will bring out a after market one. I’ve just been working on the stand I might have a solution but it’s not been easy. Hope your enjoying the bike 🏍️💨💨💨💨💨
@@thatbikersimon also have a dent in the tank and the crash bar needs pulling out a bit. However that’s what it was brought for and at some stage i would have come off, so why not there. The bruising is still coming out too 🤣
Hi Simon, looks like you're having great fun out there. The more l see you on this bike as lve watched your India tour as well, the more lm impressed by it and its capability. How is all the down low torque for hilly and rough/mud sections?
Hi David, yes this bike is easy to ride and that mid range pull is perfect for the trails. The real test will be around the Himalayas next month. So far I can’t fault it.
@@thatbikersimon I was there from Wednesday helping with the stand setup. Will be back next year for sure. My wife already got the tickets for next year.
Thanks, the 411 is better balanced but having ridden both, the 450 is perfect for me. I’m heading back to the Himalayas soon to test it in its birth place. 🏍️💨💨💨💨

Riding in a cluster F like that looks about as fun as a colonoscopy.
The Friday and Sunday was quite on the trail
nice event, the 411 is better balanced
