i also own himalayan 450 and i am 5.5 and my last vehicle was apache 200 4v but i feel more comfortable on himalayan in traffic. i am living in sakleshpur,Karnataka which is a hilly region and honestly speaking on curve this bike is chumaah. never feel the weight while on move even on 8-10 kmph speed also bike weight is not bothering because of light handle. manuverity of this bike is awsome. only problem which i am facing is while lifting from side stand. i will suggest the short height people who is in hesitation about weight and seat height that if you have experience of riding 200cc category bike you will not feel discomfort on riding this bike. Don't make your decision or opinion about this bike on watching only test ride opinion on KZbin video, go and ride it. This bike needs maturity and this bike will develop the skill within us and last if you have plan to own superbike or big adventure bike in future which i have, then this bike is the first step towards it.

Thank you for being honest about the cons regarding the Himalayan 450 .

[@cityofangels11]

All valid points, no nonsense review 🙂. +1 Sub 1. I had the chance to ride this for about 800kms. The pull to the right I experienced on a rental bike that had run 7K kms. 2. The side stand is an issue. But one can use the hip to push against the bike as that makes it easier to get it off stand, instead of using just pushing the bike using handle bar / grab rail. 3. It is a vibey engine. 90-110, I felt all vibes on footpegs and handlebar. But at 80-90 it is quite smooth that allows an all day cruise. The seat height with taller setting was actually a bit more comfortable than the lowered seat height. 4. Mirrors are adequate. If more real estate needs to be seen then upgrade to double take mirrors. But usually the stock mirros do the job as you are effortlessly overtaking most vehicles anyway 🙂

[@indmotographer]

Thanks for the criticism. These points should be highlighted to the RE Engineering team. Even WAY2SPEED or OUTEX are not the permanent solution. I am also waiting for cross spoke wheels. I don't know when they are going to launch it.

Hi Manish bhai 🙋‍♂️ 🎉🎉🎉very honestly review....Maja. aaya🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jatinsachdeva1014]

Really informative

[@ismailnaushi2007]

It sounds like you've had a different experience with vibrations compared to what I experienced in my Himalayan 450 which i bought some 15 days ago. Probably mine is the second batch manufactured by RE. In my own experience with my Himalayan after riding it about 2000 kms, I've found it to have significantly fewer vibrations compared to other bikes like the Duke 390. The comfort it provides during rides, especially on diverse terrains, is commendable. However, I do see a con being its headlight's performance, as I've found it lacking in illumination and throw, which can be problematic during night rides as i made out during my night trip from Mangalore to Bangalore. Since i already own an Interceptir 650, it does not feel heavy for me. Its slanted posture also is not a concern for me as I can easily lift it after sitting on it. But it may be troublesome for shorter riders as you suggested. Hope you will ride a newer Himalayan and review to find out if there is any improvement than your own bike. Will be looking forward for your review as such if you are to make one

That sound is basically the Fuel Pump - if you keep your ears on the fuel cap after starting the bike you ll hear it come from the pump below the tank.

[@satishkumar-wk8qb]

Yes. Its fuel pump sound

[@akashkumar67897]

I own Triumph Bonneville T120 and Its an amazin bike. RE bikes never gave me any confidence

[@samirsait]

Tks, very upright and honest and review. I cancelled my Himalayan booking, most of these points are deal breakers for me. Hope they take this feedback and fix these issues. What bugs me the most is how they provide substandard parts and expect you to upgrade to better made seats, mirrors, sump guard etc and not to mention tubeless wheels (they brought alloy wheels for twins after 4 years!) chillar/chindi mentality this company has😖😖

[@GhostriderJatt]

Hello Bhai , How are you, Maine 2 din pahle bike li thi uske bhi beep ki aawaz aati hai , Maine kuch KZbin PE video check Kiya the suggest that comes due to low fuel, if you refill again it will gone . I am not sure about this kyuki abhi fuel refill nhi karwaya hai .

Right side pulling Problem , and Complain to RE in my New Himalayan 450(January-24 delivery)

[@shashankchoubey9253]

The issue with weird noise: It's coming from fuel injection motor, sometimes even service centre people don't know about this root cause tell them to check the fuel injection motor, it'll be fixed, happy touring 🧿🌻

[@Dsbrider]

Hi the tilting sound is from catalic convertor and fuel injector is of power bikes so the fuel injector works accordingly and you feel fuel injector sound

[@mdriderahmedabad]

Bro bike me fuel pump ki avaj a rahi hai.... Same issue on meteor 350/650 too

[@vet967]

Frankly speaking I never admire royal Enfield bikes because their bikes always give feel that they are manufactured by novice company , RE bikes are prone to vibration , roughness in engine and mechanical failures, , though they improved alot from yester years

[@Vikrum_]

everyone can agree that new himalayan is not as big a hit as the original was, mixed opinions overall, I hope it improves with time

[@i_am_abhinav]

Thanks Manish for detailed info.. .can you tell how is Honda CB350 engine at 90-100 speed as compared to this RE engine at that speed . Which will be more smooth and comfortable at that speed range

[@Pranzz]

Hello Sir, Brilliant review, I also purchased a new Himalayan and agree to all your issues. Vibrations are there, but I guess I just need to get used to it. My Himalayan has 2 major issues that I just cannot ignore. First is the Tappet noise, which is very loud in my bike, and the service centre is not helping, saying that it is normal. 2nd issue is of alignment, the bike tends to move to the right when I drive at higher speeds and leave the handlebar. Can you tell me what to do to get this corrected. Royal Enfield support is not helpful.

[@travelbite]

Buddy I need to visit service centre for going right thing. Will update u

[@ashik6794]

411:: hahah you also😅😅

[@divyakant3534]

I have metered 2890kms in RE Himalayan 452 till date. I have clocked 165kmph and cruised at 140kmph for ~70km. Having said that, I have upgraded from 125cc bike. I agree with almost all of your points Manish bhai. But certainly nothing is a deal breaker for me. Sure the tube tyre thingy is an issue but its not a deal breaker. Dealing with all the issues are also the part and parcel of being a biker. Trying to be a biker and ranting everytime about everything is sure a habit for us Indians. I've installed handlebar raisers and that side mirror issue is totally gone. Anyways big fan Manish Bhai.... From a rider to a rider....

[@karan4163]

I still remember how influencers used to say in the month on oct-nov that it is the first RE to have Zero or negligible vibrations. Even I was stunted to hear that because being a RE with single cylinders "zero vibes" was more like a gimmick

[@arunachalamkrishnamoorthy8675]

It's a single cylinder which produce 40nm of torque ever in 450 cc bruh in indain made product.. Even i own new himalayan 450 I fell buzz at above 5k rpm not a vibration it doesn't bother mee. I am came from honda bike RE feel vibi and buzz for mee.. And mostly I loving the machine

[@vipulchauhan5234]

In India, there is no bike that has tubeless spoked rims, so that is more of a compliance issue.

[@SajibMondal-iy8ct]

Scrambler 400x or Himalayan 450 which should I buy for mostly long tour and city ride

[@RidesBySky]

In my opinion, Long tour - Himalayan is more comfortable City - Scrambler is more comfortable due to better low end torque and engine tractability You can manage with both bikes just depends on the priority. I own a Himalayan and able to manage it in both city and highways. Just in city I faced low end torque like when taking it from a traffic signal the bike sometimes stalls but that will go away once you get used to the bike. I had also test ridden Scrambler so can say it was more comfortable in city if seat height is not an issue.

[@travelbite]

Both are good. Wait for detailed comparison video

[@r.k.sharma7169]

Himalayan not good.its have lots of complaint.

[@RidesBySky]

@@r.k.sharma7169 tell me a bike which doesn’t have problems? Picking problems then even Honda CB350s have problems. Sadly that is the truth.

Traction control should be turned off during offroading even if your bike does support that otherwise your bike will shut down in every few steps. Not sure why you were missing this feature during offroading.

[@amitjoshi7504]

According to me the main problem is that the company is charging you 3.60 lakh rupees and not providing tubeless tyres. On the contrary, the company is offering tubeless tires for the same bike outside India. When the condition of roads in India is worse than outside the country, the company should have introduced tubeless tires in India first while introducing bikes in India. The company is cheating people by providing tube tires. As per rules in foreign countries the company has to provide tubeless tires but not in India because people are being held hostage here. We have a "chalta hai" mentality.

[@the_wind_walker]

BIS council has not given them certification to sell those tubeless spoke rims. Those rims are heavy patented hence they are imported to India. And to sell them RE need approval from BIS. And you know what speed the Indian legal system works 🤷‍♂️
