Almost 1/3 the price compared to the Honda African Twin, single cylinder - makes it easy to trouble shoot and work on in emergencies.. Probably a lot better gas mileage too - excellent choice..
Atleast you have a choice.... In india we have only two choices for dual sport... Others are three times costlier than other countries due to insanely high tax for imported products 😑....

Welcome to the club brother. It's not just the bike, its becoming the part of the heritage. I invite you to come to India ,then ride the Himalayan into The Himalayas.
Thanks a lot for doing this. You really did a good job. It really captured the excitement of buying a new bike. I clicked on this because I sold my Harley Davidsons. I thought I was finished with motorcycling. Now, I know it seems odd, but I'm interested in buying a Himalayan. I'm 64 and retired. I am keen to see more of your videos.
Thanks so much Gerald. I was putting this video stuff off for a few months, and comments like this really make it worth while. I think anyone cutting back on the oversized bikes and getting back to basics on a lighter machine that can go anywhere... has their head on straight. And at 64 you have plenty of years to pack in more adventures. Glad to see you're considering staying on two wheel, although by the looks of your channel you've had that covered with mountain-biking. By the way, I'm out in my cabin at the moment and really wishing I had some whiskey now. Thanks for that. :)
We are living parallel lives! I too thought my biking days were past and I too rode Harleys and stopped riding a while back also retired but when I clapped eyes on the Himalayan I knew it was for me to get back in the saddle again.I have my name on the demo bike at my local dealer only half hour away but must wait a month or so before he can sell. can't wait. greetings from Brad in France
Hey Gerald, I am English but live in the north Near Lille but only a couple of hundred metres from the Belgian border .Check out the Trans euro trail it goes right near home .Cheers Brad
Last time i rode in Ladakh that too in the night, i saw UFO's ! It was true all this time confirmed both by the Indian Army & the Chinese army that there are UFO's in that area.. I'm not riding in night over there anymore..
Bravo ! I wish I can be as brave and ride solo on such a long trip. My folks would freak out. I have done 2000 kilometers in a single trip only once but that too was with my riding buddies. So you riding alone, keeping yourself awake on the highway and covering such an enormous distance is certainly a solid achievement. Love from India
As someone that's greatly fascinated by the great Himalayas, I think RE did a great job with the motorcycle. It looks rugged and simple - just like I want it to be. I'm joining the club soon.
Right on! I took find it very rugged looking. It's right up there with my '89 Land Cruiser, or an old Stihl chainsaw... just the right amount of metal and style to do the job and look the part.
Thank you. I flipped through some photos of Angola real quick. Looks like some spectacular scenery. A Himalayan would be put to good use there. I hope you end up posting some videos or a photo slideshow.
Himalayan all the previous model of Royal Enfield, are crap as there is too much vibration. But if you try out the new Royal Enfield interceptor 650 cc, you will not be disappointed. There is no vibration and if you ride for 3 hours continuously you will not feel any back pain or stiffness, but with Himalayan and all models of Royal Enfield that were launched before 2018 , I am sorry to say they are not worth the money.
I've been strongly considering getting one of these bikes. Been reading reviews and browsing UA-cam and wow, what a great video. It's kind of a review but also filled with adventure and cool stuff. Subscribed! Love your work brother, keep it up ✌️
This is a pleasure to watch. Right from your apprehensions and explaining to us folks , all the way down to your journey to get the bike. Good luck with your ride.
You know what they say.... If Royal Enfield is Built Like a Gun that makes us Brothers in Arms! I hope that makes sense. It is a military saying. Also... no one says that. I just made it up. :)
Love this. I have a Tenere XT660Z and I love jumping on my Mrs Himalayan. It’s so easy to jump on and ride and it feels so chilled when you’re on it. Safe travels brother.
UA-cam recommended you to me because I've watched all of Itchy Boots videos. Her bike looks just like yours. Also, she will be in your state sometime next year. She is riding her Royal Enfield from South America through Central America into Alaska.
I'm looking forward to her next trip. Should be epic! I hope you like the remainder of the series I put together. Coming soon is a trip taking the Himalayan to the far north coast of Alaska. Working on it now. 👍
She got side tracked because of the pandameic. Moved back to Holland and then on to South Africa where she currently staying and started season five of her series.
Sir, you are a gentleman. Was going through comments while watching your video. Wow, you've replied to almost every comment in such a decent manner. Keep up the good job. May your channel grow up big & big over time.
Thanks Justin. That was a pretty well crafted blog. Thoroughly enjoyed. Ofcourse a proud indian to see superb review of an Indin bike in the US. I too own an RE and a bike aficionado. Looking forward to part deux.
Very inspiring and you did a great job documenting the journey! The music as you're entering the dealership is so on the money! I can feel the excitement building up!
Super refreshed hearing someone say they don’t need a larger bike! Also, men that are motorcyclists never seem to mind being honest about their height. I love it and this series! Enjoy the bike in good health sir
KARMAkaze Moto Indeed! I come from a road racing background, which being smaller seems to be a positive. Slowly getting into more off-road riding, and cannot say the same thing! Everything so so darn tall!
@@sarahdell4042 tell me about it! Even the Himalayan is a bit taller than I thought. With my touring boots I'm basically touching with toes, but that works fine because the bike feels light to me. A slight shift on the seat and I've got one foot flat. I'll be investing in more rugged, off-road boots with thicker soles and that should help. Being an off-road bike and needing more clearance, I have not plans for lowering. Now road racing, that must be a thrill. I don't think I'll ever have the experience of doing that. At best I may do a track day... someday. So hats off to you for road racing! 🏍
KARMAkaze Moto I usually find myself riding solo, so my fear is always not being able to pick a street based bike up. Recently acquired a 250L, and it’s light enough that I can pick it up once or twice by myself. In my very early 30s, but dialing things back. New bikes are way too fast, and recovering takes longer! :( If you ever get the opportunity, do a track day. You’ll be glad you did!
@@sarahdell4042 smart thinking. Not much is accomplished with a big bike when it comes to off road. I bet your 250L is a blast no matter where you go with it, partly because it's that much easier to handle. I'm not even sure we have track days up here. I'll have to look into it. My Suzuki Bandit would do the trick pretty well. I'll should add this to my bucket list. 🙂
Hello, Congratulations on purchasing the Himalayan. I just loved your vlog, subscribed instantly after watching the video. I just wanted to appreciate your efforts in bringing the viewers your experience, before watching the other parts of the series. Thank you.
Thank you, it's a great country to ride in. I ride my Harley across country all the time. Absolutely love it. I would like to visit some other countries to experience the different scenery and cultures also. Do you ride?
Oh man! I just came across your channel, subbed immediately! One of the things i really want to do in my life is visit Alaska. I do have a Royal Enfield but i own a 2016 classic desert storm. It is so cool to see you ride the RE Himalayan. I'm going to binge all your videos now. Keep making more videos. Lots of love and my best!
I visited Triumph of Seattle today and sat on one of the Himalayans. Great folks there and their prices on gear are hard to beat! I'm looking forward to hearing your insights about its freeway manners. That's the only issue that is keeping me from buying one. Living in West Seattle it is hard to get to the Cascades without having to do miles on the freeway. As long as I can do 70-75 mph on a loaded bike, then I'm okay. Otherwise, I fear buyer's remorse. I look forward to watching the rest of your video entries. Safe travels!
I'm really glad you're interested in my video and experience. I promise to deliver on the upcoming parts! If you end up talking to Robert at Triumph of Seattle (Northwest Moto), tell him Justin in Alaska says hello. ;)
@@davetheserious677 have fun and do a test ride if you can. Share your first impression. I'm curious. And tell Robert Bailey the sales manager I said hello. :)
Congrats on the new bike. I have had a Classic 500 for a few years now and really enjoy it. Looking forward to your next video and watching your future adventures!
Great video, i`ve been the owner of a new Himalayan for one week and i love it, when it`s had it`s first service i`m hoping to tour Scotland and parts of England, thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andy! Based on feedback from others you might like some of the more recent episodes even more. 2 focuses on the Himalayan exhaust (with a very small surprise mixed in). 3 gets back on the road. 4 and 5 have more wilderness scenery and wildlife. 👍
I sold my Africa Twin to buy a Himalayan. As you said too tall, too heavy and I had some electrical issues that Honda flat out refused to address. It was a great road bike but a handful off road. The Himalayan on the other hand is much lighter, more maneuverable and easier to ride in the more difficult single track I like. How reliable the Royal Enfield will be remains to be discovered. I’m a pretty competent mechanic so most work will be done by yours truly. Keep up with the great vlogs. Ride safe.
Saweet! My buddy turned me on to your channel a year ago. Already a subscriber on my personal account, but I think I'll head on over with this channel and share the love. 🤙
Such a soothing video to watch, and informative as well (awaiting the ceramic-coated look of the Himalayan exhaust!).. Videos like these propel me toward buying the bike and start clocking kms on it!!! I had test ridden the Himalayan a couple of months ago, and found it a bit less on power, as the engine felt a bit stressed above 90 km/h. Hence, I kinda parked this one for now. But here you are, doing 75 m/h (120 k/h) with ease! Makes me rethink!
@@KARMAkazeMoto When we were children we use to see people with large moustaches riding Bullets mostly rich farmers or police officers and few were diesel engine bikes...Just one bike passing through the neighbourhood could send chills. Todays REs don't have that...I got classic 350 new model..But old bikes build in the 90s ...Heartbeat man heartbeat.
@@BharathKumar-ox4fx I was talking with another guy on here with a '90s RE. He has a similar sentiment. I have similar feelings too. I like my older Suzuki Bandit with the carburetor. And if that thing is running good, it is because of me. So we are a team. If it runs with more power than when it was new off the line, that is me too, putting in the effort to adjust, test, then adjust again... until it is just perfect. And I love those old Bullets. They have a good sound and a good feel.
@@KARMAkazeMoto back in the days. Royal Enfield was a unique bike ridden by people who are affluent. Now in the streets, its flooded with royal enfield bikes😢
Came here from Itchy Boots who mentioned that she follows you bc of your bike and gear reviews... And I stayed and subscribed for the Story and the interesting videos. 😀 Happy to check out your channel 😎👍
Thank you for taking the time to share this experience with us. While I may never make it to your neck of the woods in my lifetime, I feel like I have somehow through you. You've got a new subscriber here and I hope to see more and more content going forward. Keep the shiny side up my friend.
Hey Justin, love this entire series man. Small request, can you do a 3-year in-depth review of Himalayan shedding some light on both the pros and cons. Really appreciate your content man.
I would love to do that, but it will have to wait until summer. Right now I'm at the cabin and there's about 4 feet of snow. I won't be riding for for 3 months more.
Well 1st of all i loved the vlog quality❤ secondly i am going to take mine out for a ride & vlog after watching this it was just superb goodluck keep posting & yea welcome to the club 😊
Thanks Dean. My review will be posted this weekend, some on-bike riding and some off-bike discussion. It's really long, but I'll provide and index to click/skip ahead. Thanks for watching and commenting, and good luck with the Himalayan if you pick one up. Satay safe!
Unless something goes wrong, P2 should be complete in a couple hours. Going to be a late night. And yes, the Canada scenery and wildlife were spectacular. That doesn't come into play until P3 though.
Quite right. Probably 2/3rds or more was through Canada. I've done more traveling outside the U.S. than in it for some reason. You just made me realize that. Guess I better plan a Continental U.S. excursion!
I will continue to watch your following posts , im collecting my new himalayan next week, I was suprised to see no running in period with high revs and high speed almost straight away , lovely bike and so much aftermarket stuff available its great fun to customise
@@KARMAkazeMoto yea... Really enjoying it, made some racks that I posted on my channel. Still running it in, first service in about 3 weeks I reckon. Perfect bike for me, and will have a bmw boxer brother next year
Saw you go through spokane on 95, could almost see my house! Love your vids and your spirit. You have a ton to offer and I’m confident the subscriber rate will soon spike for you. Best wishes.
One quick tip I'll add is to always turn off the bike using the ignition key rather than the kill switch. With the always on headlights it's quite easy to forget that the lights are still on which may end up draining battery. And welcome to the RE family. Lovely vlog.
Right on, thank you! This is good advice. It occurred to me during the trip that the ONLY concern I had with the Himalayan was that due to people stopping me to talk about it, I kept running the battery down. I'd start talking, forget the key, and... you know the rest of that story. It's a good problem to have when so many people like your bike though. Thanks Pradhyumna. 🏍
As an Indian watching this when he said "the horn is loud, yeah it has to be cuz it's from India" I died laughing, from where and why did we honk more often in the first place 😂😂
Overselling to the customer starts at the bike manufacturer Look at BMW's bikes displacement numbers going up 50cc to 1250's when the 1200 was to big all you need in an adventure bike is as much as 50 horse power. You need a bike Light enough even if your injured to pick up alone after laying it down. Try lifting a dropped bmw 1250 with a sprained ankle or injured shoulder after a drop. A Smaller bikes makes it easier for one to self rescue
Totally dependent on location of ones trip and wants, I have a older GS 1100 that is well sorted and I take absolute liberties with it off road, if you are single tracking trough a mountain range then certainly smaller is better, If you are riding London to Bangkok I want the extra horse power and size for the longer sections and even on Fire roads a larger bike is absolutely fine, the thing that buggered current ADV bikes is the amount of crap they now have installed that can go wrong and the build quality of some crash prone parts, I would not be to expectant of picking up a dropped current gen Honda AT and jumping straight on and going like I have many times with my old Bimmer, in fact there is a guy on YT that crashed one on a test ride and absolutely buggered the thing with a minor off road drop. I have owned DRZs XR you name it and I certainly would not want to tour at highway speeds for any length of time with one of them. For me an adventure bike must be ok off road whilst still being compliant doing 500miles on road. If someone like URAL could reproduce a R100GS type bike with a basic setup without ABS and all the other shite that would be perfect, something easy to work on, reliable Boxer engine and good both on and off road...
All good points. Everyone has different capabilities, different priorities, different tastes and incomes... There's no diffinitive bike that is best for everyone.
I have a mid 90's Aprilia Pegaso (and have previously owned the Suzuki XF650), it's an amazing bike, but big singles over long distances can tire you out.. My mate has a Transalp, and the difference when covering even 50 miles of high-ish speed boring tarmac. For most dirt stuff, I use an old DR350, but the Pegaso has done a good amount of trails - been getting more and more difficult as I am less worried about killing the bike - and it's been surprisingly good at them. I still think the Suzuki did it better though.
Plan? What plan? 😃 Thanks Crypto Mantra! I really could have used a little more planning. But I tend to not have worries and just jump into the adventure relying on my skills, ingenuity and... a lot of luck. Thanks for watching. Hopefully the next parts are interesting for you.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Didn't you face any challenges on your way back? As the bike was still in break in period didn't you come accross any technical glitch or any mechanical failure? Or even flat tyre?
@@RedLoveShow Now that you mention it I did have one small glitch. The gear indicator was showing a 0 instead of the number gear I was in. However, once I returned home I accidentally wore the battery down and after charging and starting the bike the gear indicator was working perfect. Just needed a reset I guess. That is the only thing.
@@KARMAkazeMoto I was just wondering if you were able to keep up with the american freeway traffic with this bike. If it was fast enough. Knowing that RE is coming up with a twin cylinder Himalayan, may be i will see another video of you doing cross country touring on that bike. All in all great video.
Being a proud owner of Royal Enfield. I definitely enjoyed the video because the first bike that I have ever ridden in my Life is from RE. Also the way you presented the video was amazing. Loved the commentary too. Kudos to you bru. And Do come to The Himalayas. Love from India bru.👍
Awesome! All i need to know right here. They have them here at a dealer in Boise and the under 5k price is amazing. The royal enfields are tempting right now. They have a classic 500 for just under 4k thats really cool too... Great video!
It never even occurred to me to buy in Boise and then have a shorter trip to Spokane. I guess when I first started talking to the Seattle guys I wasn't really thinking about doing the ceramic on the exhaust yet. Glad my video helped! You'll probably get even more out of Part 3 with regard to highway capability. That said, in Part 2 you'll see all the ceramic work and that guy in Greenacres, WA is not too far from you. Worth the trip I think.
I think I know the one. I reminds me of the Triumph Bonneville. The RE 650 looks good. Oh, yes, I found it. You have liked a video with it, right here: ua-cam.com/video/6oOGivji0xI/v-deo.html
@@rajendertkr it does look amazing. I was thinking they might be about 6k by the time they get to dealers here though. Not a huge difference but for a poor man like me, the himilayan has alot to offer. I like the interceptor but my area has alot of offroad to explore, probably a bit more than the interceptor could handle. Needs to be more of a 50/50 bike to get me where i need to go. The interceptor seems more like a 70/30 road bike. It is really good looking though...
We can all agree that being as clean and efficient as possible and protecting natural spaces (even our own backyard) is benefit to ourselves and future generations. It doesn't matter what people believe or if you agree or disagree, it only matters about the actions. I guess that's part of Karma, the actions. Thanks for watching and commenting and trying to encourage people to pay attention to the world and our actions. And thank you for watching. 👍
@@KARMAkazeMoto I like your thoughts. But most of the people are into booze, drugs and cocaine unfortunately. Destroying their lives, and doing nothing.
Thanks Karthikeyan! I'm glad you liked it. Part 2 has something sort of special, and it is nearly complete. I'm trying to wrap it up right this moment. :)
Congratulations to you for owning a Royal Enfield Himalayan. I too own a Royal Enfield Standard 350 Bullet, here in Mumbai. I feel completely one with the Bullet when riding on open roads outside the city, unlike any other domestic two wheeler I've ridden. Once the engine heats up..the ride smoothes up a whole lot and you actually do feel it going faster that what's showing on the speedo. That's when you realize..it's not an ownership but a partnership. One advise from personal experience...the bullet needs a lotta' Love and not only attention..💝 Loved your video.. waiting for part two of your epic journey...all the best (lucky bugger you!!) ☮✌🇮🇳
Hi Justin.The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a boon for entry level Bike lovers.Its like a 4×4 but on 2 wheels.For the price its a steal.Iam a proud owner of this amazing machine here in Mumbai-India since 2016.The basics i.e engine,chassis etc are good but with a few mods & upgrades its a different machine.Motul 300V 15W50 engine oil,NGK iridium plug,K&N filter,Nitrogen in tyres and its ready to fly.The silencer cover plates look classic if powder coated black alongwith the skid plate.Also spoke covers from Amazon enhances the look of the bike.If taken care and looked after this bike is for keeps.👍😊
@KARMAkaze Moto N2 is more useful in hot and humid countries like India where oxygen in plain air expands like crazy and also the humid climate makes the Oxygen corrode the wheels.Not so useful in a temperate climate like North America

I'm looking forward to her next trip. Should be epic! I hope you like the remainder of the series I put together. Coming soon is a trip taking the Himalayan to the far north coast of Alaska. Working on it now. 👍
She got side tracked because of the pandameic. Moved back to Holland and then on to South Africa where she currently staying and started season five of her series.
Really happy for you buddy :) hope you have some great and safe rides with the Himalayan in the future!
Sir, you are a gentleman. Was going through comments while watching your video. Wow, you've replied to almost every comment in such a decent manner. Keep up the good job. May your channel grow up big & big over time.
Thank you Atul. I've tried to set a positive tone with my channel, and I intend to keep it up. 🙂
Thanks Justin. That was a pretty well crafted blog. Thoroughly enjoyed. Ofcourse a proud indian to see superb review of an Indin bike in the US. I too own an RE and a bike aficionado. Looking forward to part deux.
Great video! I see you have replied to most of the comments in good detail. Really appreciate it. I've subscribed! Love from India!
Thanks Maanav!
Love from Alaska!
Hi- congratulations on ur new purchase.
I am also a proud owner of Royal Enfield Himalayan Sleet
Have fun
Keep posting
Cheers
Thank you.
Man I am in my early twenties. Finding my passion in biking with every passing day. Your setting is like a dream. Keep vlogging.
Will do! I'll be publishing a new series very soon.
Very inspiring and you did a great job documenting the journey! The music as you're entering the dealership is so on the money! I can feel the excitement building up!
Thanks Kiran! Glad you liked it.
Namaste from India 🇮🇳 ...G8 content in this video 😀
Namaste from Alaska! Thanks for the compliment!
Super refreshed hearing someone say they don’t need a larger bike! Also, men that are motorcyclists never seem to mind being honest about their height. I love it and this series! Enjoy the bike in good health sir
Glad you're enjoying this, Sarah!
And yeah, no shame in being shorter. I've found it advantageous on many occassions. 🙂
KARMAkaze Moto Indeed! I come from a road racing background, which being smaller seems to be a positive. Slowly getting into more off-road riding, and cannot say the same thing! Everything so so darn tall!
@@sarahdell4042 tell me about it! Even the Himalayan is a bit taller than I thought. With my touring boots I'm basically touching with toes, but that works fine because the bike feels light to me. A slight shift on the seat and I've got one foot flat. I'll be investing in more rugged, off-road boots with thicker soles and that should help. Being an off-road bike and needing more clearance, I have not plans for lowering.
Now road racing, that must be a thrill. I don't think I'll ever have the experience of doing that. At best I may do a track day... someday. So hats off to you for road racing! 🏍
KARMAkaze Moto I usually find myself riding solo, so my fear is always not being able to pick a street based bike up. Recently acquired a 250L, and it’s light enough that I can pick it up once or twice by myself.
In my very early 30s, but dialing things back. New bikes are way too fast, and recovering takes longer! :(
If you ever get the opportunity, do a track day. You’ll be glad you did!
@@sarahdell4042 smart thinking. Not much is accomplished with a big bike when it comes to off road. I bet your 250L is a blast no matter where you go with it, partly because it's that much easier to handle.
I'm not even sure we have track days up here. I'll have to look into it. My Suzuki Bandit would do the trick pretty well. I'll should add this to my bucket list. 🙂
Fantastic Vlog! Enjoyed ever minute, thanks for taking us along on your adventure.
Great video dude...long u spent time with ur Himalayan n new adventures further u gonna love it. Welcome to RE family. Ride safe n have fun 😀
Nice vlog. Looking forward to see how the ceramic coated parts turn out, especially the exhaust.
Hello,
Congratulations on purchasing the Himalayan. I just loved your vlog, subscribed instantly after watching the video.
I just wanted to appreciate your efforts in bringing the viewers your experience, before watching the other parts of the series.
Thank you.
Thanks in return Narender!
Currently on my 3rd rewatch of this entire series, one of the best I've seen
I ride a bullet 500 back in india and Vlog on youtube..
I stumbled upon your videos looking for inspiration..
Great content thumbs up...
Man America looks such a good place to ride bike !
Thank you, it's a great country to ride in. I ride my Harley across country all the time. Absolutely love it. I would like to visit some other countries to experience the different scenery and cultures also. Do you ride?
@@rso1411 visit india someday to ride...delhi precisely
yes..america is a very good place too...for me ,i would like driving on empty desert roads of utah and scenic maine with a pickup truck....
@@rso1411 yeah I ride in India and its an adventure dude
possibly the best 1st part to any bike series iv seen on youtube,,LOVED IT, from England
Wow, thanks ibez07! I just posted part 5. I'm 99% sure you'll like it. Another long one, but it skips along.
Oh man! I just came across your channel, subbed immediately! One of the things i really want to do in my life is visit Alaska. I do have a Royal Enfield but i own a 2016 classic desert storm. It is so cool to see you ride the RE Himalayan. I'm going to binge all your videos now. Keep making more videos. Lots of love and my best!
I visited Triumph of Seattle today and sat on one of the Himalayans. Great folks there and their prices on gear are hard to beat! I'm looking forward to hearing your insights about its freeway manners. That's the only issue that is keeping me from buying one. Living in West Seattle it is hard to get to the Cascades without having to do miles on the freeway. As long as I can do 70-75 mph on a loaded bike, then I'm okay. Otherwise, I fear buyer's remorse. I look forward to watching the rest of your video entries. Safe travels!
I'm really glad you're interested in my video and experience. I promise to deliver on the upcoming parts!
If you end up talking to Robert at Triumph of Seattle (Northwest Moto), tell him Justin in Alaska says hello. ;)
Heading up to seattle to check one out next weekend. Should be good.
@@davetheserious677 have fun and do a test ride if you can. Share your first impression. I'm curious.
And tell Robert Bailey the sales manager I said hello. :)
@@KARMAkazeMoto for sure bro. Looking forward to seeing the rest of your journey. Thinking about doing this in the Himalayas next year.
That would be awesome! For sure document it.
Good vlog. Waiting for the P2. Subscribed. 😊
It's on the way!
Congrats on the new bike. I have had a Classic 500 for a few years now and really enjoy it. Looking forward to your next video and watching your future adventures!
Thank you Born Adventurous. I'm also looking forward to future adventures. 👍
Amazing adventure for knowing each other! Congratulations my friend!
Aurora to Alaska! Badass, I used to live a few blocks from the bike sho- on 99
Great video, i`ve been the owner of a new Himalayan for one week and i love it, when it`s had it`s first service i`m hoping to tour Scotland and parts of England, thanks for sharing.
This is absolutely excellent, Justin. Really looking forward to the next episodes.
Thanks Andy!
Based on feedback from others you might like some of the more recent episodes even more. 2 focuses on the Himalayan exhaust (with a very small surprise mixed in). 3 gets back on the road. 4 and 5 have more wilderness scenery and wildlife. 👍
I sold my Africa Twin to buy a Himalayan. As you said too tall, too heavy and I had some electrical issues that Honda flat out refused to address. It was a great road bike but a handful off road. The Himalayan on the other hand is much lighter, more maneuverable and easier to ride in the more difficult single track I like.
How reliable the Royal Enfield will be remains to be discovered. I’m a pretty competent mechanic so most work will be done by yours truly. Keep up with the great vlogs. Ride safe.
Hi I'm from india..actually I'm from the place where the bike is manufactured!! A great vlog!!
just loved it.. SUBSCRIBED!!
Waiting for P2
I'll try to post tomorrow. It will be tough to do, but I'll try.
From Chennai?
Chennai. How are you macha?
@@VivekSingh-og2nf macha is scared ryt nw brother....
chennai is detroit of south asia i terms of its automobile industry ♥️
I'm hooked... subscribed!
Saweet! My buddy turned me on to your channel a year ago. Already a subscriber on my personal account, but I think I'll head on over with this channel and share the love. 🤙
Turns out this account is already subscribed to you. Even better.
Nice job. I am looking forward to seeing your journey. Sounds exciting.
Such a soothing video to watch, and informative as well (awaiting the ceramic-coated look of the Himalayan exhaust!).. Videos like these propel me toward buying the bike and start clocking kms on it!!!
I had test ridden the Himalayan a couple of months ago, and found it a bit less on power, as the engine felt a bit stressed above 90 km/h. Hence, I kinda parked this one for now. But here you are, doing 75 m/h (120 k/h) with ease! Makes me rethink!
I stayed up most the night working on Part 2. Almost ready. And I'm glad you found the video calming. I myself am pretty calm. 👍
Love from India ❤️
The sound man is not the engine sound... its a heartbeat.
Very poetic. 👏😃
@@KARMAkazeMoto When we were children we use to see people with large moustaches riding Bullets mostly rich farmers or police officers and few were diesel engine bikes...Just one bike passing through the neighbourhood could send chills. Todays REs don't have that...I got classic 350 new model..But old bikes build in the 90s ...Heartbeat man heartbeat.
@@BharathKumar-ox4fx I was talking with another guy on here with a '90s RE. He has a similar sentiment. I have similar feelings too. I like my older Suzuki Bandit with the carburetor. And if that thing is running good, it is because of me. So we are a team. If it runs with more power than when it was new off the line, that is me too, putting in the effort to adjust, test, then adjust again... until it is just perfect. And I love those old Bullets. They have a good sound and a good feel.
@@KARMAkazeMoto back in the days. Royal Enfield was a unique bike ridden by people who are affluent. Now in the streets, its flooded with royal enfield bikes😢
Came here from Itchy Boots who mentioned that she follows you bc of your bike and gear reviews...
And I stayed and subscribed for the Story and the interesting videos. 😀 Happy to check out your channel 😎👍
This is honestly one of the best videos I've seen on UA-cam
I hope you like the following episodes! Thanks!
Thank you for taking the time to share this experience with us. While I may never make it to your neck of the woods in my lifetime, I feel like I have somehow through you. You've got a new subscriber here and I hope to see more and more content going forward. Keep the shiny side up my friend.
Awesome feedback Jason! Good karma!
Shiny side up, you got it! 👍😀
Well....I got to do this one day......awesome explanation and camera work
Great video part 1 and production, looking forward to part 2👍😊
Thank you very much for sharing your experience. I am trying to gift myself this bike next year.
It's been my pleasure to share the trip. I hope if you get the bike you enjoy it as much as I have. Cheers!
Hey Justin, love this entire series man. Small request, can you do a 3-year in-depth review of Himalayan shedding some light on both the pros and cons. Really appreciate your content man.
I would love to do that, but it will have to wait until summer. Right now I'm at the cabin and there's about 4 feet of snow. I won't be riding for for 3 months more.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Sure brother, we look forward to it. Also do talk about himalayan's practical usage in extreme winter weather of Alaska & Canada.
Well 1st of all i loved the vlog quality❤ secondly i am going to take mine out for a ride & vlog after watching this it was just superb goodluck keep posting & yea welcome to the club 😊
That is some superb feedback. Thanks so much!
I have subscribed to your channel. Happy to do so. Looking forward to seeing what you're up to.
@@KARMAkazeMoto oh haha thank you same here waiting for the part 2 😊
Good for you.. making dreams come true. I too am 5’6” and I too love dual sports. Looking at the Himalayan so Thank You for your efforts!
Thanks Dean. My review will be posted this weekend, some on-bike riding and some off-bike discussion. It's really long, but I'll provide and index to click/skip ahead. Thanks for watching and commenting, and good luck with the Himalayan if you pick one up. Satay safe!
Some of the most stunning Vista I've ever seen....👌👌
Congratulations, thanks for sharing.
Bonaventura from Puebla, México
Nice to meet you, Jose! And thank you very much.
I looked up pictures of your home city and it is beautiful there!
Subscribed to you just because you bought the himalayan which I am pretty sure no one has in Alaska.
Ha ha, the sole member of the Alaska RE Himalayan owners club! Not a whole lot going on at our monthly meetings. 😄
Thanks for subscribing!
@@KARMAkazeMoto looking forward to the next episode. Pretty sure the ride was very scenic. Canada is beautiful ♥️
Unless something goes wrong, P2 should be complete in a couple hours. Going to be a late night.
And yes, the Canada scenery and wildlife were spectacular. That doesn't come into play until P3 though.
@@KARMAkazeMoto waiting for it, I think the majority of your route is via Canada which is why I said that btw.. America is just as beautiful.
Quite right. Probably 2/3rds or more was through Canada. I've done more traveling outside the U.S. than in it for some reason. You just made me realize that. Guess I better plan a Continental U.S. excursion!
I love videos like this , brilliant mate 👏
I will continue to watch your following posts , im collecting my new himalayan next week, I was suprised to see no running in period with high revs and high speed almost straight away , lovely bike and so much aftermarket stuff available its great fun to customise
How are things going with the new Himalayan?
@@KARMAkazeMoto yea... Really enjoying it, made some racks that I posted on my channel. Still running it in, first service in about 3 weeks I reckon. Perfect bike for me, and will have a bmw boxer brother next year
Nice!
I'll check out the racks.
You know when a channel is good when he has a coffee and just talk bikes...
" I brought some lube with me as well "
Insert Lenny face here
I wondered if anyone would jump on that! 😀
@@KARMAkazeMoto 😂😂😂
Saw you go through spokane on 95, could almost see my house! Love your vids and your spirit. You have a ton to offer and I’m confident the subscriber rate will soon spike for you. Best wishes.
One quick tip I'll add is to always turn off the bike using the ignition key rather than the kill switch. With the always on headlights it's quite easy to forget that the lights are still on which may end up draining battery.
And welcome to the RE family. Lovely vlog.
Right on, thank you! This is good advice.
It occurred to me during the trip that the ONLY concern I had with the Himalayan was that due to people stopping me to talk about it, I kept running the battery down. I'd start talking, forget the key, and... you know the rest of that story.
It's a good problem to have when so many people like your bike though. Thanks Pradhyumna. 🏍
21:58-23:07 Thanks for reminding me about my childhood game Need for Speed. Route was looking like same. :) Keep It up brother ❤ from India 😊
Yeah same here 😊
Ha! Glad it brought back childhood memories! That's fantastic. 🙂
Feeling Indian spice in chilled Alaska....😍
loved it!!! you got a beautiful way of showing the story!!!enjoy your ride!!!thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks Abhijeet! Part 2 is uploading right now!
Fabulous I’m really looking forward to watching your journey. Ride safe 😷👍
As an Indian watching this when he said "the horn is loud, yeah it has to be cuz it's from India" I died laughing, from where and why did we honk more often in the first place 😂😂
Horn - it's like assertive....
....because from India. LMAO.
Awesome, vlogging is great, Love from India, enjoy many more rides with ur beautiful Himalayan. Keep up good work
Thanks Ketan, I'll do my best.
congratulations on your new bike mate..himalayan wont let you down ever. welcome to the RE club.
Thanks Aniket! It's been a pleasure having the Himalayan so far.
Overselling to the customer starts at the bike manufacturer Look at BMW's bikes displacement numbers going up 50cc to 1250's when the 1200 was to big all you need in an adventure bike is as much as 50 horse power. You need a bike Light enough even if your injured to pick up alone after laying it down. Try lifting a dropped bmw 1250 with a sprained ankle or injured shoulder after a drop. A Smaller bikes makes it easier for one to self rescue
And easier = more fun in my book. Keep it simple. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Totally dependent on location of ones trip and wants, I have a older GS 1100 that is well sorted and I take absolute liberties with it off road, if you are single tracking trough a mountain range then certainly smaller is better, If you are riding London to Bangkok I want the extra horse power and size for the longer sections and even on Fire roads a larger bike is absolutely fine, the thing that buggered current ADV bikes is the amount of crap they now have installed that can go wrong and the build quality of some crash prone parts, I would not be to expectant of picking up a dropped current gen Honda AT and jumping straight on and going like I have many times with my old Bimmer, in fact there is a guy on YT that crashed one on a test ride and absolutely buggered the thing with a minor off road drop. I have owned DRZs XR you name it and I certainly would not want to tour at highway speeds for any length of time with one of them. For me an adventure bike must be ok off road whilst still being compliant doing 500miles on road. If someone like URAL could reproduce a R100GS type bike with a basic setup without ABS and all the other shite that would be perfect, something easy to work on, reliable Boxer engine and good both on and off road...
All good points. Everyone has different capabilities, different priorities, different tastes and incomes... There's no diffinitive bike that is best for everyone.
Same goes with nakeds, why do I need 150 Hp, when the head wind starts to annoy you above 130 Kph?
I have a mid 90's Aprilia Pegaso (and have previously owned the Suzuki XF650), it's an amazing bike, but big singles over long distances can tire you out..
My mate has a Transalp, and the difference when covering even 50 miles of high-ish speed boring tarmac.
For most dirt stuff, I use an old DR350, but the Pegaso has done a good amount of trails - been getting more and more difficult as I am less worried about killing the bike - and it's been surprisingly good at them.
I still think the Suzuki did it better though.
I am from India and in this video i dont give a F about the bike I give all the credit to your plan. Man you are wild.
Plan? What plan? 😃 Thanks Crypto Mantra!
I really could have used a little more planning. But I tend to not have worries and just jump into the adventure relying on my skills, ingenuity and... a lot of luck. Thanks for watching. Hopefully the next parts are interesting for you.
@@KARMAkazeMoto Didn't you face any challenges on your way back? As the bike was still in break in period didn't you come accross any technical glitch or any mechanical failure? Or even flat tyre?
@@RedLoveShow Now that you mention it I did have one small glitch. The gear indicator was showing a 0 instead of the number gear I was in. However, once I returned home I accidentally wore the battery down and after charging and starting the bike the gear indicator was working perfect. Just needed a reset I guess. That is the only thing.
@@KARMAkazeMoto I was just wondering if you were able to keep up with the american freeway traffic with this bike. If it was fast enough. Knowing that RE is coming up with a twin cylinder Himalayan, may be i will see another video of you doing cross country touring on that bike. All in all great video.
Yes. I was able to keep up and often PASS! 😜🏍
Being a proud owner of Royal Enfield. I definitely enjoyed the video because the first bike that I have ever ridden in my Life is from RE. Also the way you presented the video was amazing. Loved the commentary too. Kudos to you bru. And Do come to The Himalayas. Love from India bru.👍
awsome storytelling and a very engaging vblog, cool machine, like the sound.
Thanks!
welcome to royal enfeild bro love from India
Thanks! Love from Alaska!
Awesome! All i need to know right here. They have them here at a dealer in Boise and the under 5k price is amazing. The royal enfields are tempting right now. They have a classic 500 for just under 4k thats really cool too... Great video!
It never even occurred to me to buy in Boise and then have a shorter trip to Spokane. I guess when I first started talking to the Seattle guys I wasn't really thinking about doing the ceramic on the exhaust yet. Glad my video helped! You'll probably get even more out of Part 3 with regard to highway capability. That said, in Part 2 you'll see all the ceramic work and that guy in Greenacres, WA is not too far from you. Worth the trip I think.
U can look for 650 twin they are so beautiful😍 Nd just 5500 in usa
I think I know the one. I reminds me of the Triumph Bonneville. The RE 650 looks good.
Oh, yes, I found it. You have liked a video with it, right here: ua-cam.com/video/6oOGivji0xI/v-deo.html
@@rajendertkr it does look amazing. I was thinking they might be about 6k by the time they get to dealers here though. Not a huge difference but for a poor man like me, the himilayan has alot to offer. I like the interceptor but my area has alot of offroad to explore, probably a bit more than the interceptor could handle. Needs to be more of a 50/50 bike to get me where i need to go. The interceptor seems more like a 70/30 road bike. It is really good looking though...
@@pauld.b7129 ohh its okay bro😄🤗all good
AWESOME VIDEO . LOVED IT . LOOKING FOR THE SECOND PART
If you're loving this you'll want to get through this series and jump into the Ride to Prudhoe Bay. My editing improved.
Thanks Sarath.
Such a good looking bike. Love the classic look.
B E A U T I F U L. Our world is such a beautiful place, and idiots that we are, we are racing to destroy it.
We can all agree that being as clean and efficient as possible and protecting natural spaces (even our own backyard) is benefit to ourselves and future generations. It doesn't matter what people believe or if you agree or disagree, it only matters about the actions. I guess that's part of Karma, the actions.
Thanks for watching and commenting and trying to encourage people to pay attention to the world and our actions. And thank you for watching. 👍
@@KARMAkazeMoto I like your thoughts. But most of the people are into booze, drugs and cocaine unfortunately. Destroying their lives, and doing nothing.
Waiting for P2!
You bet! I have all the video and photos edited on the timeline. All I need to do is add some music.
One of the best vlogs I have ever watched..... subscribed..
Thanks Ray! Glad you liked it. 🙂

Thanks Karthikeyan! I'm glad you liked it. Part 2 has something sort of special, and it is nearly complete. I'm trying to wrap it up right this moment. :)
Eagerly looking forward for part 2. :)
Such a nice roads and scenic beauty you guys have..
Congratulations to you for owning a Royal Enfield Himalayan. I too own a Royal Enfield Standard 350 Bullet, here in Mumbai. I feel completely one with the Bullet when riding on open roads outside the city, unlike any other domestic two wheeler I've ridden. Once the engine heats up..the ride smoothes up a whole lot and you actually do feel it going faster that what's showing on the speedo. That's when you realize..it's not an ownership but a partnership. One advise from personal experience...the bullet needs a lotta' Love and not only attention..💝 Loved your video.. waiting for part two of your epic journey...all the best (lucky bugger you!!) ☮✌🇮🇳
Awesome comment, thanks! I'm glad you're enjoying what I'm doing and thank you very much for the advice. :)
Finally someone like me i could see here... Totally ageee with Bullet needs love 🤩
Hi Justin.The Royal Enfield Himalayan is a boon for entry level Bike lovers.Its like a 4×4 but on 2 wheels.For the price its a steal.Iam a proud owner of this amazing machine here in Mumbai-India since 2016.The basics i.e engine,chassis etc are good but with a few mods & upgrades its a different machine.Motul 300V 15W50 engine oil,NGK iridium plug,K&N filter,Nitrogen in tyres and its ready to fly.The silencer cover plates look classic if powder coated black alongwith the skid plate.Also spoke covers from Amazon enhances the look of the bike.If taken care and looked after this bike is for keeps.👍😊
I'll look into your suggestions. Thanks!
What's the purpose of nitrogen?
@KARMAkaze Moto N2 is more useful in hot and humid countries like India where oxygen in plain air expands like crazy and also the humid climate makes the Oxygen corrode the wheels.Not so useful in a temperate climate like North America
@@princereddy4887 Ok. I definitely learned something new.
well said! a 4x4 on 2 wheels.
Thanks for making this. I really enjoy your journey. You’re a nice guy. 😊🙏🏻
Thank you!
Man ....you do such nice videos ...am so impressed.....it was a long video....but I felt like watching more ......am so excited for your next video ....the quality is superb as I was watching in 4K....Camera angle was nice....amazing views....plus the content..... everything is just so perfect!!! Great job done!! Dude
This is all really nice to hear, especially about watching on 4K, because I am not a video person. From using the cameras, to choosing the shots, and then the big task of video editing... I am still learning and trying my hardest. I have done a lot of photography and graphic design work, so that helps. Thanks Lon Traveler Gunjan! I hope you also enjoyed Part 2. It was shorter and there was a nice nature scene in it. A bit of a surprise.
