2025 Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 No-Bull 🐂 Review.

[@The10thManRules]

Most adventure bikes are so similar. The 450 Himalayan is unique and full of character.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Royal Endield did a great job of infusing some uniqueness into this bike!

[@The10thManRules]

@@MCCJustMotos Agreed. Thanks for the video. Be safe out there, but get all you can from your Himalayan.

[@martyn_g]

Torque is the pulling force - power is what keeps you there.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Good deal

[@ferkuzuel]

The 452 has many advantages over the 411 but on the other hand an air cool engine has a very special character that the liquid cool can't replicate Cheers

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@ferkuzuel you got it!! 100%

[@verlinswarey507]

Yes-running hot!

[@Gokul-qk4un]

The fields are quite beautiful. Looks like the Windows XP wallpaper location.

[@MCCJustMotos]

I have a theory about “I” states. 2 good and 2 not as good. This is one of the good ones. 😆

[@robbcollins3727]

Thanks for the review, very informative. Hoping I get a chance to ride one here in Southern Oregon, thinking this might be a good downsize from my 2016 AT… What do you think? Good trade?

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@robbcollins3727 I’ve ridden the AT’s and I like them much! The new 452 will give up some speed to the AT, but it is a lighter bike and handles off-road better, just because of the weight. I think you will have enough power in the Himi to not feel like your lacking from a huge power deficite.

[@robbcollins3727]

@@MCCJustMotos , Thanks for your input, I have loved my AT for 33,000 miles, but thinking the weight savings could be helpful…

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@robbcollins3727 for sure!

[@MotoMNMedia]

Hate to deflate. Not the only big bore kit 411 moto in US. I still let the old gal go and bought the 450 and have piled on the miles…

[@MCCJustMotos]

No deflate..There are TONS of BBK running around. I just happen to own the one with the most work and fastest one. ;) cheers on your 450, they are great bikes! kzbin.info/www/bejne/enjbnKGgd8t2d6ssi=Qbnv7OpbiYEB3Ia5

[@markjacobs3956]

So you can have a 452 for $5600 with incredible suspension or build a 411 to compete with it for $8000? Mmkay. 2500 miles on my 452 in Colorado...all roads with and without fuzzy.

[@MCCJustMotos]

I’m all for your choice! 100%! The capabilities of the new bike are great and like you said for the price, super had to beat! Very cool the 2500 fuzzy adjacent miles in my birth state!

[@HunterVlog350cc]

this is nore suited to USA with open roads and terrain and less crowded rides , indian city traffic needs good initial pulling power though❤

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@HunterVlog350cc interesting thoughts!

[@jamesschneider3828]

That section of hiway has the harshest tar strips.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Omg totally! I didn’t even feel them on the Himi lol.

Where's Fuzzy biker...wahooo

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@interstellargod6959 I know! I missed him this time, but we will catch up again! Wahoo!

Fuzzy followed bugs bunny to Alabama the 21st. Sept.. he was singing I'm Alabama bound on the ride down for the Alabama Trail of Tears commemorate motorcycle ride . He got to see the famous coondog cemetery and the Rattlesnake Saloon . Gave him some southern hospitality . 😊 Google News 19 Huntsville , Alabama Trail of Tears video . Fuzzy got interviewed about the trail .

Im thinking about getting the 452 as my BITCH bike for my home in mountain. I also have a Livewire One and a fully modded (every add on possible) Pan America

[@MCCJustMotos]

Great choices! The 452 will be a good addition!

Are you and Fuzzy working for Baxter? This bike is running against the CFMoto 450 Do a comparison - that will be interesting 🍻🍻

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@BlazinBlades Nope, neither of us work for Baxter Cycles, but we are all friends! I’m curious to see if there CFMoto 450 is as friendly. Also, I own a modern CFmoto (300SS). I like to but it’s give me a few technical problems in with a scare stealer Work it’s been a little bit more of a challenge.

[@BlazinBlades]

@@MCCJustMotos I got confused when I saw him mod a Himalayan out in their shop for them… It’s one big party out there in Iowa I should come and visit 😁😁

[@MCCJustMotos]

@@BlazinBlades you should visit! Great dealership!

Their is a cot in the back room for Fuzzy. He does videos for Baxters cycles and in turn he gets free coffee and a cot for in-between content.

@@edwardkaminsky8142 lol.😆

[@DanielBogusz]

If this 450 is 2025 and not 2024 does it has any differences to the previous year version (I’m not talking about the 411)?

[@MCCJustMotos]

The short answer is no. This is the same bike. Launched as a 2024 in the UK / rest of the world, but it was launched as a 2025 in North America.

[@DanielBogusz]

@@MCCJustMotos Thanks for the info!

[@JoseAlvarez-dl3hm]

What about the poor quality chasis design? there is some that have broken down, yes I know it was handled by RE saying the owner installed a not original crash bars and that was the main fault, BUT, anyhow, it still speaks loudly about a bad chasis design

[@RipsawEV_2]

It was an aftermarket crash guard issue. As the guy got an aftermarket crash guard and forgot to mount the front mounting screws, which caused all the weight to fall on the rear mounting screws causing the fracture. Same for the other guys, the crash guards were not fastened using the right torque and etc.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Of the tens of thousands of bikes made (maybe more?) I guess you’d have to see what percentage of bikes have issues. My guess is a very small percentage well under one percent.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Interesting insight!

[@slakk5093]

There are 2 bikes that failed both with aftermarket crash bars. Apparently both fitted without torque wrench and because the crash bars require removing an engine mount bolt to fit, it is important to refit the engine mount bolt with correct torque. It’s amazing that a few people can fit aftermarket crash bars incorrectly and then morons will repeat it in every KZbin comment section as if everyone bike it failing.

[@JoseAlvarez-dl3hm]

@@slakk5093 a moron is to believe that a good chasis design would break after installing after market crash bars. Plenty of ppl install after market equipment and we do not see them falling apart after that, have you seen honda, kawasaki, yamaha or other reliable bikes outher falling to pieces after installing after market crash bars? Never. And same issue have happend with the previous re himalayan 411, that is a bad engineering error no matter what angle you use to excuse them

[@strangeuniverse1199]

You packed a ton of info in a short video. It's obvious you put a lot of work into making it.

[@MCCJustMotos]

Thank you much! I’m not a big budget KZbin channel. I try and put a ton of effort and thought into my videos and with a little little luck some useful insight.

They are giving away the older new Himalayan's for dirt cheap prices. I guess they are trying to clear out stock of of the older bikes.
