Think this is one of the best 450 reviews, and I have seen a few - great stuff! You are the ONLY person to talk about where they dropped their weight, 10kg off the engine compared with previous model. Great to see your height on the different options, that was really useful. Love your channel and thanks for this review.

It is for sure. So far the feedback on the Himalayan is more positive. Brake feel, suspension (even though it's not adjustable), throttle (not snatchy), etc.. but the 450MT gets you more for your money. Fully adjustable forks, adjustable levers, better screen and connectivity, radial brake caliper. The Himalayan doesn't even have a folding tip gear lever. It's definitely built to a budget and components show it, but it's one of those that is going to be more than the sum of its parts. Looking forward to the head to heads.

Been trying to find a decent review had missed this one brilliant best review on them Kate you answered all the questions I had (previous 411 owner who had issues n rejected) I think the old one could hustle in the corners but I think the 450 has the right up for our UK roads not to much and not to little in relation to the Kurb weight. Nice to see they addressed the brake switch issue and brake performance. been thinking about either a 2nd nx500 to match dads or mix it up with a 450 Himmy or something else in the lighter range of stuff to replace my 1150gsa when I sell her.

@weka20059 ай бұрын
Hello from New Zealand. Thank you for the great review. I am getting on a bit now and recently decided to get back into motorbikes after around 30 years on 4 wheels. I wanted an adventure bike so went out and found myself a good used BMW G650GS Sertao. I have admired these bikes for a long time and I do love the bike. I quickly found out that things are not quite as easy in my 60s as they were in my 20s though. I also found that I was a bit short in the leg for the 860mm seat height. Bikes are not only getting heavier, but also taller, these days. I installed a set of 51mm lowering links to the rear suspension and dropped the forks 50mm through the clamps effectively lowering the bike by 50mm. So I basically have the standard G650GS but with spoked wheels and a 21" front. Now, I see this new Himalayan and kind of wish that I had hung on a while and got one of these. I really do like the look of them. You have pointed out some very relative negative points though. 1) The tail light being incorporated in the indicators. I don't particularly dislike the look of this concept, but I do feel that it leaves them a bit exposed and prone to damage particularly when off-road. What happens if you break one? Do you then lose all rear lights? Perhaps not, but this is often the case with modern electronics. 2) Having to have your phone unlocked to operate the navigation. Sure you can put your phone in a holder and on charge, I do that now on my BMW, but then you wouldn't need the navigation screen on the bike. 3) No cruise Control. I don't have one now, but sometimes wish I did. I suffer from muscle pain in my right arm on ling rides and cruise control would be good. I suppose there are devices such as the Atlas Throttle Lock out there though. 4) No heated grips option, even my 10yo BMW has those and they came as standard when it was new. That's not such a big problem though. I find that I feel the cold most in my finger tips and heated grips don't help that at all. As I said, I like the look of these Himalayans, but I don't think I will swap my BMW for one any time soon. Not because my BMW is so much better, but I don't think I could justify the cost to get something similar but with 20% less power. However, if I didn't have the BMW and was looking for a bike now, I would probably go for the Himalayan. Tell Royal Enfield to make something to rival the BMW F900GS or even R1300GS. Now, that might make me look at changing brand. Particularly if they were simpler bikes. I think the new BMWs have way too much tech. Tech is good but I would like to be able to choose what I want, not have to buy a whole package just to get something like cruise control. Keep up the great content. Great channel.

However, I checked on Friday and they were showing a demo available, so I popped down to have a Quick Look and a sit on it, to see if the lean for side stand is going to be an issue (also a 29” inseam human).

I was unsure about the rear twin lights, but I followed a BMW with them the other day and I admit they look fine (although I still prefer the fighter-jet exhaust rear light on my Guzzi). I love the curves too - a lot of bikes are getting very angular now, and that's not really my taste. Great review - I need to book a test ride now.

Otherwise, I like It, and it's still a contender, along with a BSA Goldie and a couple others, for a future spot in my garage, but first the HD has to go. Anybody want a '93 FXDWG in original spec?

I'm definitely thinking this would be a great next bike for me. I'm in Thailand and I think that it is just soon to come in here. Have to save up and won't be able to buy one for a year or so at least, but that gives me time to see loads of feedback and all that. Have watched dozens of Indian videos on the bike... now its time to get some of the UK perspectives! Thanks again!

Love your reviews. You give the pros and cons in a way that leaves it to the viewer to make up their own minds about them. Have you given any thought to reviewing RE's new Shotgun 650?

Kate, another great review by you, information is great. Lots of ducks on the not great off road bit. I haven't ridden for a year due to broken back your channel cheers me up thanks 😁

Its a bonny looking Bike , and it is up to speed on modern stuff which is good , really like Re as a brand these days , all the new stuff coming out I find interesting , on a GS right now and happy , but loved the previous Himalayan 411 , looks like I'm going back to RE and a 450 down the line as these BMWs are great i just did 3 hours with no grumbles but too big really for a jump on blast .
