The guy at 15:05 was spot on with the Indian pronunciation, far better than what I expected from a non-native. We don't really use accented syllables in Hindi. FYI, Him in Hindi means snow. Alaya means abode. Hindi often compresses two or more words into a single word to convey information in a succinct manner. Himalaya literally means "home of snow", an allusion to its towering heights in a geographically tropical land.

First of all, the Himalayan's major purpose is for off-road riding. For an adventure, off road capability bike who needs cruise control 😅, atleast I don't mind whether it has cruise control or not I would love to connect with the bike at each and every revs. The Ride-by-wire helps a lot while taking the bike from your home to the office roading location, it does make sense...

The lack of traction control is sort of surprising with the ride by wire setup and riding modes as well. You say 40bhp isn't much but if you have knobby tyres you don't always have a lot of traction on wet roads! Great review though, good to see someone testing the bike in weird and wonderful ways.

The DNA of the new bike is the super long stroke of the new engine. The new 450 has the longest stroke of any other 450 ever made. Modern singles use super short strokes. The 450 Himalayan has a ridiculously shaky long stroke engine which gives it super low end immense torque.
