Great real life information by someone that's actually put the time & miles in on this bike. After a week with the same bike, I've decided to stick with my 411 because it's better on fuel...always 80+mpg & the 32lb of torque is more & feels more right through the rev range, making it super tractable from the very technical walking speeds all the way to 6,000rpm. I also like the ruggedness, ease of use, serviceability & position of the 411 more. Not much in either bike, but my 411 is less revy & very comfortable for me. The brakes on the 450/52 are better, though aftermarket pads improve the 411 brakes.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'm think'n you've got it about right. Love that 411, it'll do everything but go fast. Possibly my favorite bike of all time. Wahoo!

[@keepitreal1547]

@@forgottenmotorcycles Just watching your comparison between your 2021 411 & the 2022 411. My latest is the late 2023/24 with some sensible extras & it's a pure joy every time I ride it. I will probably keep it forever. I stay off the highways as much as possible & for everything I do, I don't think the 450/52 will improve my riding or do it any better. An amazing bike that I think RE ought to have continued to produce. I think they could have still brought out the 450/52 but called it another name. The market is big enough for both bikes, I feel.

[@jamesfairmind2247]

With you on all those points. Don't own either myself but a guy I know here in the UK runs a motorbike adventure company and takes groups all over the world, he has all the current small capacity bikes produced by all manufactures i his inventory ranging from the Triumph 400 through Honda 300 to everything else made by Chinese companies, (some of which are really excellent value for money products) to offer his clients, but he is adamant that is the original 411 is the better adventure bike over the 450. He has no dog in the fight as he has both and I respect his un-biased professional opinion. Personally speaking, I think the 411 is one of the boldest and most radical motorcycle designs of all time and whenever I walk past one, I am forced to pause just to look at it's purposeful and yet somehow, totally cool design, whereas the 450 leaves me cold, it might as well be a generic Chinese bike, but yet not actually as good as the best of them.

[@keepitreal1547]

@@jamesfairmind2247 Perfectly put & even more so with you saying you don't own either bikes. I've probably owned 30+ different bikes (& ridden many many thousands of miles) ranging from 50cc scooters upto 1000cc Fireblades, including moto cross bikes & touring bikes. The 411 was a revelation in 2016 & still remains that, it's following throughout the world is huge, it's fan base even more...& in my opinion there's nothing else like it & never will be. It is & has been a respected one off & will certainly be a future icon. Grab one well you can.

I've been intrigued by the Royal Enfield history and the comeback story. They seem to be absolutely nailing it with their products. That 452 fits in a niche that's really not being addressed by the market. A highway worthy light adventure bike. I think the most impressive part is that the component set they used really doesn't require any immediate upgrades. Both stock suspension and brakes are good. If the drive train holds up well over long term, this might be a legendary bike.

[@BlueRidgeRider]

The wisdom of the internet says it has an assist/slipper clutch. Just for fun I tried to make the worst downshift I could on my INT. It worked perfectly. No chirp. No drama. Does the fuel cap ring have bolts in it? I’m a huge fan of SW Motech tank bags. I got one for the Pan America that was actually for an R1200GS. I had to buy SAE (American) size screws for it because we still can’t figure out the metric system. I now have their waterproof model on my BMW RT. You lose the expansion capability but don’t need the rain cover. The Pro series uses magnets to align it when installing it. Truly one handed operation and no straps to foul your paint.

There are 5 Allen head bolts on the fuel filler ring. Maybe that will work. Slipper clutch...I've been able to chirp the rear tire at will when downshifting hard. Wahoo!

Thanks Fuzzy i have been watching your videos for a while--im buying a travel bike for Canada and seriously considering the Himmy452 after a test ride...I need to test ride a few bikes before deciding but question: have you tried the rally seat on the HM452 and if so can you use as a travel seat? Have you tried the small wind deflectors on any of these windscreens? I end up using them in a very vertical placement to really push the air up and over my head and get the clear ones so i dont block my vision--keep up the good work i like your enthusiasm and i a very impressed by the though that goes into these RE bikes and i really liked the engine character

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I have Road a Himalayan with The rally seat but only about 8 mi. It was comfortable but I can't say it would be good for a longer ride because I haven't rode it that long. Have not used the wind deflectors yet. Back to the seat, the standard seat I've sat on for thousands of miles and find it very comfortable as I do though on a motorcycle. Great bike

Hi. Have a look at the Givi GRT720 soft panniers. Givi, at the moment state they don’t advise fitting to 450, though they make the frames, PL9059. The reason being is the stubby exhaust may heat up the bottom of pannier. I have seen a few posts where people say they have fitted the 720’s and the bag doesn’t get hot. I have also seen that a couple of after market companies, Hitchcocks here in UK are one, are developing solutions. They look great.

Hi. One correction. It does have a slipper clutch. I know both from press videos and also because I had an old Himalayan and bought a new one. I had no clue what is a slipper clutch, but very quickly I learned from riding, as I saw different behavior between the two bikes when releasing the clutch fast. Might be that for some reason North American market model doesn’t get it, but it doesn’t make much sense.

[@daveh1625]

I would guess that the 17litre tank= 4.49092 US Gallons = 3.73948 imperial gallons would be correct but probably put the bike on the mainstand to fill to the top. Haven't got used to the 'falling over' sidestand feel after the near upright sidetstand on my bmw R1200RS and wonder how good it will feel on a fully loaded bike with camping gear etc. Still have only 200 miles on mine, have to wait two weeks to get the first service at 311 miles, so glad I have a second bike to use. Sticking to the 4000rpm running in for now and will observce the 6000rpm limit to 1200miles per owners manual but at this slow use I have the mpg stuck at 99.9 so over 100mpg using 99 octane rather than any e10/20 95 octane cheap supermarket fuel. Enjoying the bike but as it was so late on on delivery of tubeless bike here in uk last month originally feb/march. then 'possibly late june!' I think my longer trips will be next year anyway.

The kickstand was an issue for in at first. I've gotten use to it. Even fully loaded it works fine. If I ride at regular speeds the bike gets great milage and the 4 gallons US is good. Have had a blast on this bike, over 5100 miles now, and it just keeps getting funner. Wahoo!

There are cheaper tail bags but they're either only water resistant or quality as not as good. Rhinowalk do a clone of Kriega for half the price but nowhere as good & won't last as long & zips bust & material cuts easier.Kriega bags are thicker material thicker metal buckles better waterproof & come with 10yr warranty.The 40L that shrinks to 28L has a pocket for tent poles.The 30L bag will fit your Tent ⛺️ sleeping bag,air mattress, Chair & a few other small bits.Then add a 1-2 10L to carry your clothes & cooking gear or 20L on top of 30L.

I am not implying that this is a case of a click-bate title, and if there is a hidden word play in the title with the "wait what yahoo" I am not getting it. But then again, I should not have to. I would love to hear your point of view, and perhaps your critique on my comments. Cheers, and ride safe!!!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I started this list of issues on the first day I got this bike. These are the biggest problems I'm encountered so far...but I'll keep looking...and riding the bike hard. Yes, the title is facetious...it's meant to be fun. The thumbnail even has the word fanboy in it. 800 mile ride on this bike today. If something "Big" happens, I'll report. Life is good. Wahoo!

[@AviramAriely]

Bottom line: " it's a great bike ,I really like it "

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@joepoulter3806]

Hi there I feel I have to comment on this vidio most of the issues your stating about the 450 the big problem is YOU not the bike .perhaps you should get a HD Road King for your long distances regards Joe

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

[@SheranAslam]

Hey. It does have a slipper clutch... 😅

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I've been told but mine does not act like it. Wahoo!

[@BadHorsie2]

Great information.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo 😁

[@leepeffer1304]

Save your money and don't buy the touring seat. I got one for my 411 and though I could see what they did to make it "touring", my backside couldn't tell the difference. Seat Concepts makes one for the 411, so I am sure a seat for the 452 is on the way.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love the Seat Concepts

[@Undergroundexpedition]

1000 in one day needs to have a very good reason. I can't enjoy myself at that speed.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love to ride

[@Dave-sw2dm]

Our dealer wont get the tubeless wheels version until 2025.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Dang!

[@ajec2451]

Id love to trade my 411 in on one but i doubt they'd give me a nickel for it. Even though its a 2022 with 30 miles on it

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Dang

[@christopherbeauchemin180]

“Big problems” ?! 😂

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

I'll keep trying 😜

[@royashmore5874]

1,000 miles in a day. Really, are you sure!! That's 100 MPH for 10 hours. No way could we do that here in the UK.

[@eduardoaranda88]

It's the Iron butt Saddlesore 1000, You have to do 1,000 miles in less than 24 hours

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

16 hours 1 minute for 1,030, MI. Fun ride!

[@Alienbikers-in-India]

My impression was that this RE is too heavy with too high center of gravity. I had feeling like i am sitting on it with heavy dumbbell in my lap.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Interesting

[@erikbarkefors2441]

If knee angle and windshield etc are "Big Problems", then I don't understand why you bought the Himalayan because you should have discovered that before buying.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo!

It needs a trip meter like my DR 650.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

This one has Two Trip meters. But digital

[@richardturner69]

You Americans need proper big gallons like in the UK. Problem solved.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo 🎉

[@garypic4083]

If you want leg room ride a Harley lol, is really a Touring bike? I know must people will ride on road 90% of the time, . Its only 450 cc 40 hp, it not a highway cruiser

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Lol

[@garypic4083]

​@@forgottenmotorcycles Lol you setting it up for highway miles?

Still think the 450MT is the overall better bike in this segment.

Okay

Love the Goldwing. wahoo!

[@kai-uweoch1159]

BIG problems? No, that`s all minor issues. A big problem would be something like camshafts wearing out within a few thousand kilometers. But that doesnt happen of course on modern bikes, does it? 😂 You should also mention how tall you are if you find the ergonomics ctamped.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

5 foot 8 inches tall with a 30 inch inseam Wahoo!

You have some strange hair sticking out from the back of your head. You may be able to solve this problem with a pair of scissors.

I really wanted to buy one but the engine is absolutely 💩

I love this engine. Wahoo

[@THEjasonTDI]

It's awful looking in some colors and meh in the rest. I don't care how it rides. The 411 was so much better looking.

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Love the 411 too

[@jamesadams2334]

The things that you listed as short comings are not short comings. You're whining about things that just don't suit you! From reading the headline, I thought that you had found a major problem with this bike but after listening to your list, the problems are things that you haven't adjusted the bike to or problems that you hadn't adjusted to. You sound like my ex-wife!

[@forgottenmotorcycles]

Wahoo

Utubers getting bikes and royal infield not even bringing these in until next year. Too many 2023 models still in the show rooms. I will take my money else where.
