Would imagine downunder quite practical and if you doing a really long trek add some extra fuel tanks. Thats prob a good 350/400 miles if you chugging at 60 ish...
I literally just bought the Himalayan and rode it home today! It's a fun bike! It's going to take me a little getting used to, but I bought it for Vermont dirt road riding. Also female, a bit shorter than you and it's SO comfortable and manageable!
Hows it going so far on the bike? Any engine lights coming on or anything misaligning itself on the dashboard> engine is probable good but how is everything else?
Nice review....when I ride my 411, the bike appears to give you such a comforting ride....its an unbelievably soft and safe experience. Like Mum's lap 😁. the servicing costs here in India @10 Eur/GBP plus cost of spares is astonishinhly low.
I loved your review because I have exactly the same bike, same colour, and have came to the same conclusions you have. I have a couple of sports bikes in the garage, but love the character of the Himalayan and the thump of the single cylinder. It's a great bike for riding alone and enjoying the scenery, but the weather is definitely a nuisance as the bike gets filthy every time on the wet and mucky roads, but at least my expensive sports bikes aren't subjected to that and the Himalayan is so much easier to clean.
If you love the character of the Himmy thumper, what are the sports bikes doing in that garage? LOL. Make up your mind. You either love the slow and inexpensive Himmy or you love your expensive sports bikes. Which is it?
@@Sunz-me5mo I don't need to justify myself to a creep so do one. The Himalayan is an off-road bike. I'm not going to take a £15,000 sports bike on a dirt track. Did you suffer a brain injury or simply inherit the affliction?
😂😂😂 I love your review. I have a Himmy and it's perfect for our crumbling roads in Cheshire. I ride it ALL the time and i love it. Also a few farm tracks . Cheap to buy. Cheap to run. Easy to ride. Easy to maintain.
Always fun when I take the Himi out. I want to get a Classic 350 also, but don’t think I could get rid of the 411. Maybe I’ll make room in the garage for both. Haha. Alongside the V7. Haha
Hello from France ( Brive la Gaillarde, ... as always) I thank you a lot for this review, and for me, who hate adventure bike , it' s a real discovery , thanks to you But this bike ( simple, reliable, light weight, mono cylinder, with off road capacities) remind me the bike invented in the beginning of the 80's. We don't talk about " Adventure bike" at this time, but we called it... the " Trail" ( So, the Yamaha XT 500 or 600, the ténéré, the Honda XR, and so on...) And finally, the Himalayan, is like this sort of bike , who were capable to do ...everything on road or off road, because there performs were very homogenous in all the department of riding, History is always restarting , no ? Have a nice evening, Ride safe John Christopher
I can’t believe they aren’t going to keep selling them! These don’t compete in the same category as the new Himi And they have been global best sellers!? It’s very confusing!?
@@TobotronPrime Exactly my thoughts & the thoughts of many who own them. The following is huge & it seems to me that RE will regret not keeping the 411 going.
@@tomboyabit My 2008 Buell Ulysess cost me $4,500.00 it had 14,000 miles on it. It came with side cases and a Top case too. I spent $700.00 on a new rear wheel ..that has 3 larger bearings instead of two small wheel bearings. I paid $245.00 for a new LED Headlight shipped from Italy,, I had to replace both tires .. Oil changes ect .. Oh and $250.00 for a better and adjustable windscreen set up . I'm not into riding motorcycles with forward control pegs or no rear suspension either. I really don't know why anyone would ride a Chopper or a Bobber. I guess if you want to have spine pains, go for it .
golden lesson learnt on my himalayan when i have to pull it back if im stuck is step 1: hold the front brake and push the bike down (front) step 2: when the suspension pushes back (at the same time) release the brake. This gets the bike moving a bit more faster.
Love my little Himmi, it gets under your skin, great touring bike for the less travelled roads, I did a 4500 mile tour of Spain and Portugal last summer, and it was a lot of fun on this little machine
This bike is really good for touring, highway riding and definitely for off-roading also. I also own this bike and I did off-roading and highway riding both. In off-roading I did it on Hilly areas not in muds, Rocky area rough roads etc my experience was really good and I love this bike.
Tomboy Another wonderful review from you. Your Mud pedaling part was Epic! Love it because you show reality not hype. That is Real World stuff. Just like you mentioned, the Himalayan is a quirky and very "Niche" bike. The beauty about it is, it can do just about anything without killing you weight and sizewise. I agree, at first the display looks confusing but you quickly start to like it after a while. Weird! The 2024 is so far away from the previous generation on just about everything especially power. Now it is much more streetable. And it is more off road capable. I rode one in some gnarly single track muddy places and it just motored right through. The nice thing was the weight that gave me more confidence than on bigger ADV bikes where you have to worry about dropping the bike. and picking it up. The Himalayan was like a toy that loved being thrashed! Amazing bike. I can't wait for your next video. I Love your channel Lady! 👍👍 Ride SAFE and BE safe! 🌹
and here's another bike that I want, because tomboy_a_bit has done such a good review!! I always feel I should have the bike being reviewed, in my garage... NOW. An interesting and informative review with just the right amout of technical talk and performance stats. I love that colour, and if I really was buying one, it would have to be in that colour.
Wonderful video,Hi from Spain! I'm thinking on buying one but I'm not sure because of the 24 horse power.I think that bike is special because every video I watch,everyone gets surprised about it.I like the Interceptor also,and yes,they are much different bikes but which one would you get if you just could pick one? Thank you and Congrats for the channel.
Hey I personally would go for Himmi, because I have my Sportster which is in that sunny days ride category. I think main difference in them of what you’ll use them for?
@@tomboyabit If I could have two motorcycles,I'd do like you,but right now I must choose one.At this point of my life I want something to ride at mountain villages here at the north of Spain (León,cold winters!),secundary roads,no Highway,not too much speeding.May be some trails...and yes the Hymalayan would do great,but I found it kind of let's say "not very beautiful" but so cool! Not very powerful (or may be enough?) and I'm worry about the brakes.Riding position would be important( 1'86 cm ,240 pounds,had a hip replacement ,must be careful with my knees also).I'm trying to find a Hymalayan near here to try,but is not easy,some dealers just have the new one, which personally don't think is the same.I watched all your Hymalayan videos and are very useful,but still can't decide 🤦🏻
A really solid and professional review. If I was in the market for a new bike you would have sold me a himalayan with out any effort. The sound of that 400ish single is really nice. Well done, like the bike you're a star. 💖💖🤓
Love the bike but no good for us lanky tall gits. Envious of shorter people as so much choice of motorcycles. And as we get older its worse. A mate offered me a go of his modern Gixer . Just a physical impossibility to be comfortable with heels touching arse and in press up position.
Sounds like your going to make up for all the small bike riding that you missed. There are at lest four REH 411's in town and all the owners really like them. Take care D. and have a great week ahead. Monday at Simons?
It’s a brilliant basic no nonsense industrial bike! It does what it says on the tin! The Himalayan surprises everyone who gets on one,it may not be the quickest or the most powerful or the best looking but it will hold its own to any other Adventure bike out there & in some cases will out perform the best of them! You will get to your destination & back again & I bet you anything you like you will have nothing but respect for the little work horse!
@@tomboyabit ok, keeping warm is always good, Years and years ago I rode a goldwing from Bristol to Birmingham, freezing fog all the way, even my boots had ice build up. I was so so cold. After that I got heated gloves.
They are very popular in Australia. No frills, easy to ride and enough power to enjoy yourself. Thanks for the review.

Did love mine (2019) but think the throttle body needs replacing... £££ :( Will probably sell and move on this year.
Try Himalayan 450 you will totally forget about 411
Too mudy?!! No such thing!!
You can buy the last of these 411’s now for £4,000 here in England! A steal!

Even less now!
