Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 (PRE-PRODUCTION BIKE): can’t believe I’m riding it in India 🇮🇳

  • Back to where it all started! Five years ago, I rented a Royal Enfield Himalayan in Manali, India and rode it around the Himalayan mountains for a couple of weeks. I loved it so much, that I bought one in Delhi, named it Basanti and rode it half across the world. Now, I am back in the Himalayas, but this time, on the NEW Himalayan, a bike that is not yet launched. I got the incredible opportunity to try this pre-production bike out, and this time, I have my cameras to record these adventures in India. LET'S GO!!

    Noraly! The journey the started from india in 2018 by an amateur motovloger with a dream of traveling the world on a bike with not much money but pockets full of ambition has came back to india after almost 5 years as one of the greatest motovloger/ travelvlogger of all time if not the greatest, riding all across the globe with the same smile on her face as when she first started....hatsoff miss Noraly 🙏

      This is the kind of review of the new Himmy I wanted, it's about the ride in context not just the bike if that makes sense? It looks a complete departure from the RE heritage. I had kinda hoped they might just have pushed the single pot to 500cc and kept it air cooled. You look so happy back where it all started looking forward to the next episode 😊

      Absolutely smart move their new bike will get so many buyers after seeing Noraly put it through its paces. I am impressed that it purrs like a kitten and rides like a dream. Starts every time love it. Hubby had bikes over the years and eve the new ones l recall he had to really put his back into kick starting it which turned me off bike's altogether. I am very small l ,new l could never start one if l had to fight to get it started every time. His pricey Harley was the same and to dam noisy l hated it.

      Almighty God KABIR is the CREATOR OF all SOULS --It was KABER who rose from GRAVE by making form as JESUS to keep faith on GOD .
      Iyov 36:5 - Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
      See, El is Kabir, and despiseth, not any; He is Kabir in ko’ach lev (strength of understanding).
      Translation: Supreme God is Kabir, but despises no one. He is Kabir, and firm in his purpose.
      In all Bible translations, the word Kabir has been translated as "Mighty" or "Great" whereas Kabir is the original name of Supreme God.
      Conclusion: This verse of the Bible proves that Kabir is Complete God. The one who worships God Kabir by taking initiation from the complete saint sent by him gets complete salvation. After attaining salvation that souls rest in peace in the eternal abode Satlok forever. The throne of God is in Satlok( ETERNAL PLACE) 😊😊
      God Kabir met Jesus and took his soul to Satlok. On their way, God Kabir made him see his ancestors David, Moses, Abraham, etc. in the Pitra Lokas. Then God took him to Satlok😊😊
      SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ is the present MESSENGER of ALMIGHTY GOD KABIR
      Any kinds of DISEASES(MENTAL, PHYSCIAL, SPIRITUAL), PARANORMAL ACTIVITY,CURSE,BLACK MAGIC,GHOST is cured by Getting Diksya (mantra ) from SAINT RAMPALJI MAHARAJ..Note: No charge is taken. .one can get MANTRA dikshya from INTERNET😊

      @@joeblow1934 I sold my 77 Goldwing, GL 1000 touring set up and moved from Southern Maryland to Colombia SA. In the Andes I was really missing having a touring capable bike that had the power for the mountains. I finally bought a 2021 Himalayan with full luggage and crash bars. My wife and I love the bike. It does everything the GL 1000 did, only a little slower, but 81 mpg fully loaded with two which is a huge improvement over 37mpg. It is really fun and with lots of torque on the back roads but it is lacking on the highway. And my bike like many, has issues with stalling at idle. I do like the low rpm torque, and am wondering how the new Himmy would handle the 45 degree inclined mountain roads around here. I have seen V-Strom 650's struggling up some of the inclines that my long stroke just thumps up with no effort with two riders and a full load. I am guessing that the new version will be more aimed at street riding like the V-Strom. Probably much better suited for US riding, so you are much better off waiting and trying the 2023 and 2024. Myself, I am thinking of getting a Super Meteor 650 and setting it up with luggage and windshield for the highway rides.

    This is a bit of an emotional "deja vu" for me.
    i am 68. My great grandparents on both my parents' side came from India as Indentured labourers to work on the cocoa and sugar plantations on this Caribbean island where I live.
    I have seen every video that Noraly has produced, from S1 onwards. To see her back in India at the Genesis of her recorded adventures is somewhat nostalgic and touching. I know she has had some heartwarming exchanges with Eastern people during her travels. And now to be on another Royal Enfield tops up the cake.
    I hope she has a flawless adventure with Basant2.
    Just earlier this week I reviewed some videos of S1 and was enjoying the sound of Basanti, much deeper than that of Alaska !
    I hope the RE company gives you the recognition you deserve !
    All the best Noraly.

    That’s exactly what RE needed to do with the Himalayan: modernize it and add a modicum of power (a lot, by Indian market standards, where 200cc bikes are large capacity). The engine seems to have handled the high elevation very well; sounds strong. I hope they also improved some of the components that wore out too easily with Basanti. It’s truly an honor that they allowed you to publicly test the revised bike. Also, the Mosko Moto kit looks great. It seems that the world is on the raw edge right now, and this video, including that tranquil and beautiful landscape, provides very welcome relief.

      Geologists refer to the grass as “hairing it over.” Geologists don’t like it, as they want to see the layers. It’s not just appearance in the eastern U.S. The higher rainfall will erode rock cuts faster and wash gravel and such down onto the road if there is no grass.
