This series has been just as entertaining as the last, have really enjoyed the content of dry sarcastic humor. 😂- Subcribed

At least you guys are on some decent machinery unlike some tossers that would attempt it on a Harley. Good luck to you and l look forward to all the good stuff to come.

Great story loved it. Everyone has a mate like Pete.

"What do you reckon?" yeah you should have...

Peter Wherrett style? I wondered if that meant your choice of riding attire? :-).

Still good to rewatch

Agree on the VW...had a 2000 New Beetle which was a shocker. Scarred me for life 😂

Enjoyed the series, have recently done it ourselves, from Brisbane also. What program do you use for the map animations? Thanks.

Great footage and commentary

I'm not trying to be mean, and hopefully you will take this as constructive criticism. I couldn't watch past the 1:06 mark due to the incoherent muttering. Maybe you should try speaking up and projecting your voice. Every time you turned your head away from the camera, you went from difficult to understand to impossible. Best wishes on your future video endeavors.

Good info. I am shopping midweight also. (CURRENTLY riding an Africa)

Loving your review of this bike. I am seriously thinking of swapping my 410 for the 450 so have been following your adventures. Thanks

From early 70's to late 80's The Burdekin was my home, the bridge was our climbing gym the river bed was our mini bike playground, the mill was my first employer.

Well ‼️ Excellent stuff ‼️

Sounds like you have had some issues but thanks for sharing your adventures I can relate to most of what Your riding through and some I don't envy you at all look forward to the new ones

Been thinking about the new Himalayan for a while now. Had a test ride last week on one. Pretty amazing. Beats the hell out of the 411's. So, if you had to have only one bike, would you keep the Enfield, or the Honda?

It and you did well, a mountain goat for sure

Many small town in this country. It's very interesting. I enjoyed This journey too. and I like your cynical accommodation review!

Dale Buggins. There's a blast from the past! Showing our age

Sir, you are riding like a pro, really! Well done! OMG, look at that "road"! Actually I would call it a gully. :) Holy cow!

How unusual is that, a broken BMW swingarm. NOT ‼️

Great vid. Yamaha aptly called their XT225 a mountain goat (Serrow)

Last did this type of riding on a lightweight IT200L back in the day😢…the uphill section would have been wheelie and jumpy heaven on it , but the rutted downhill still would have been challenging in parts , you sure rode well on a heavy bike .

Mate is the new touring comfort seat an improvement on the original? Hoping its much softer?

i think these bikes are made of cheese--- ill give it a miss

I test rode both. Bought a Himi. Ergos, engine and gearbox were my reasons. I’m going to put it out there - the CF is the on trend bike, but you watch - they’re going to end up on bikesales because aspects of the bike are going to be irritating over the long haul. Such as the engine.

I would have bought a Himi, but one thing ,no service agent CQ,so I had to go with a local brand. Just on the gear lever ,i would much prefer it light weight instead of the impact bending the shaft.

They cant call it the Mountain Goat because my 1987 XT225 Serrow already has that accolade. Great video though and a very capable bike/rider combination by the look of it. Keep safe.

Sure, not an Enduro, but an Enduro probably won't do a 1- k day or go through major cities and Interstates at upper speeds. This bike does most everything quite well. 👍👍

A bit of a dirty old down hill slog, would have had me puffing & panting, I have no intention of putting mine in that circumstance, trusty KLX400e for that shit. Though, I just took delivery of a set of Motoz Rallz's mainly for wet track/trail conditions. But still not what I planned for this bike. This one is for interstate camping/travel stuff. Don't get me wrong, I will be a bit more adventurous with Her when shod & unloaded to tune to the beast when & if shit goes bad. You ride well and seem to know momentum is your friend, nicely done 👍I'm a bit of a recycled virgin after three decades off & now 30 months back. Muscle memory is finally there & a reasonable level of confidence, but knowing I don't heal so quick as I once did is always in the back of my mind. (I've found this out, but no tears or breaks, just bruises and sore ribs 🤕) Still a tad on the boisterous side at times. You can lead a duck to water, but it still wants to fly. Cheers from Brissy.

Did you wind up adjusting the front brake banjo bolt upwards to accommodate the Bark Busters?

Too top heavy for me

Enjoyed that, thanks. I think you're onto something with the name for the bike given how well you both got up and down those hills; it's a missed opportunity by RE given that there is a Himalayan mountain goat called the tahr.

Hmm 'riding along with you', after 49 years of riding, I can't watch anymore of this, wrong bike, wrong attitude, where's your sense of adventure and you are supposedly on 'adventure bikes' In all honesty all I've heard so far is winge, winge, winge!

Rutting hell, that road would scare willies out of me.

What tyres have you fitted ?

I'm enjoying riding along with you, thanksgiving 👍🇦🇺

Hi, I’ve been watching a couple of guys riding around India on a royal Enfield Himalayan, Joe Ryan and another guy Simon they’ve been getting these bikes and I just absolutely just doing it in India so and they built for India they will be built for Australia. I think throw anything you like and they’ll do it

That was pretty impressive. For a good value bike, it performed pretty well.

For the average rider this bike dose every thing it says on the tin and good bloody value and it’s got enough power to it dose bent the break and gear leaver in deep ruts but no big deal remember it’s not a dirt bike ,Jimmy WA

Would you like the gear ratio to be different to get more power at low speeds uphill?

That is a good effort. Ride safe 👍

I’m keen on the Himalayan however can you convince me it’s better than a dr650 ? Dr is 40kg lighter and heaps more torque. A head to head video would be great 👍

Very impressive riding in the amongst the ruts. It looked steep on camera can only imagine how step it was in real life. I would be hesitant taking my DRZ400e with knobbies where you went, not enough skills/balls to take a much heavier bike with 80/20 tires, well done, very entertaining.

Ok I'm impressed. Not just with the bike (also the view LOL) just kidding, well done and either gutsy or foolish or both doing it alone IMHO 👍👍🍻

Your having too MUCH BLOODY FUN fella its not aloud Hahaha lol good on ya big fella 👍

Good to see sensible riding. There is a bit too much yahoo and speed and on much bigger bikes. When on your own its not fun being injured or stuck under the steed. Its not a motor cross bike, and its not a motor cross track. I have been tempted by the new Himi. Only thing thats stopped me so far is how well and comfortable it is at 100k/h. Great video mate.

Looks like it does hills easily

Wow, you're giving it a workout. That's not a nice track in my book.

Bought mine a month ago and love it, has zero issues doing what I ask of it and I'm sure it can out ride my abilities. She's still on stock tyres and they hold up pretty well although I'm looking forward to the knobbys. Cheers for the videos from the central west of NSW.
