I Test Ride The Royal Enfield Himalayan

[@FL-PHILLIP]

Nice review. I own one here in the US and loving it. Mostly daily commuter right now but plan on on longer trips here in the near future. Steering issue is probably the big 21inch tire or tyre 😉. Im in Florida which can get very humid and haven't had issues with fogging. Also have the DNA air filter which helps it breathe better. A great bike for what it is. Going to be my back road explorer. Cheers!

I would have one but im unfortunately not adventure sized lol, im a nats under 5”6 but one of my pals has had one of the first in the uk and when i last saw him had covered 29 000 miles and not easy miles either he has maintained it himself from new and apart from things that he busted himself has only had to replace the headstock bearings which may have been a one off but they had expired by 10000 miles but having said that it has a hard life he rides a cbr 600 on sunny days but the Himmy is his commuter and he does real adventure on it its been through Europe and over the bump into spain and portugal and he toured france on it for 3 months , it has a dent or scratch on every panel but has never let him down of its own accord, it has serious off road ability too, not winning races but serious hillclimbing ability even loaded , and enough low rev thump to drag it through slippery trails, i hope this helps , 👍

Good review. My one question about the performance is from a set of lights. If you filter to the front, will it easily leave all the cars behind? Or will you be holding people back?

hmmmm I don't think you will be holding up traffic... It wont set the world on fire but its ok

@@BHPBikesuk ok. I understand it’s not fast. I’m ok with that. My first bike had 24 hp. But it weighed 260lbs. And I was ~50 lbs lighter. I just don’t want to slow down traffic
