[@Makermook]

I just got back from a 2000 km trip on my Himalayan (her name is Laverne, fyi). It's easily 10x longer than any trip I've ever ridden and I was a little apprehensive, but she did great. I mounted Tusk boxes for a couple hundred bucks instead of the $700 RE boxes, a plastic top box I could have done without, and a 30L dry bag, plus my 100kg. Laverne did great. The fastest I went was a little more than 60mph, but I was on twisty secondary roads through the Appalachians, so there wasn't much opportunity to go faster. I've been riding for almost 35 years and this is hands down my favorite bike. I haven't done stuff like in this video, but it's obvious a Himalayan is capable. She's a sturdy little mule: She won't run like a thoroughbred, but she'll take me and my stuff damn near anywhere I want to go.

[@jeremyethridge1934]

After hearing this video referenced in the latest High Side/Low Side podcast, I had to come back and watch it again - maybe the 3rd of 4th time. This is one of the videos that contributed to my decision to purchase a Himalayan in November of 2020 as my first bike at 40, and I'm still riding it to this day - just ticked over 11k miles. Such an impressive little burro, like Zack says. Considering how much time these guys have spent around motorcycles, the fact that they still hold the Himy in high regard 3 years later speaks to the longevity of the bike too. Like Ari says, you can do all the maintenance yourself, even the valve checks and adjustments - it's so unintimidating in every imaginable way. Everybody told me to get a cheap used bike but I think that was a riskier proposition and may have discouraged me. If you want to ride and learn to maintain your bike confidently, just get a Royal Enfield.

[@royliber3824]

I don't even have bike license but holy the Himalayan looks appealing to me. Gotta love the classic durable look, with the small somewhat modern technology put into it. This bike is fully made to enjoy the ride and its proven it can go into places it really didn't meant to go to. I would choose that bike in a heart-beat for long roadtrips.

I love my Himalayan. You can easily buy cheaper aftermarket aluminum panniers or even cheaper soft saddle bags but the OEM ones are just so nice. The adv suspension is wonderful on our trash north eastern roads...that sometimes just end. Also Himalayans are built like tanks, I hit 2 deer and mine still trucked on home afterwards. They are also super nimble once you get the feel for them. Took mine down to some sand/dirt dirt bike trails (the trail was only as wide as my pegs in places and I had the panniers on) and she did fine. Needed a bit of extra umph to make the tight bends and it's a bit too heavy for sand but still made it and had a blast.

Yes, but she did have Indian Royal Enfield dealership mechanics go over her bike twice. So the fit and finish was less of an issue.

I did ride a bullet over some of those passes but my front fender was dented really bad from hitting the engine/frame and I was beat to death on it. Not so with the Himmy. Great bike!

@@karthikvs9635 RE is not built for Himalayas . Just because it has higher low revving torque doesn't mean it's offroad . One fall at steep hilly road and it will be difficult to get back up . No proper suspension and too heavy

[@dna6095]

Man ... I have a classic 500 RE..no trail is left in Let area or Gujarat Salt Lake or somewhat desert trails. Just enjoyed every bit of it.

[@guambra2001]

Spenser, your editing abilities and a way to tell a story is great. I’m glad you guys are back.

[@ajaymanoj3527]

This is the most perfect review I have seen till now That's a lot of hardwork for testing and reviewing the bikes love this team 🔥❤️

[@hectorpasillas7451]

I'm 74 & 3/4, ride a 2013 road king.you have helped decide what not to get in a smaller & LIGHTER bike. Thanks & keep up the great work.

[@xxkalevalaxx]

This is why we love these two guys so much, tons of fun and they seem to genuinely enjoy it. That's what motorcycle supposed to be about. love it love it

[@dsolin]

Finally clicked subscribe to RevZilla. Don't need to tell you why.

[@Gmaker202]

Thank the motorcycle Gods that Ari and Zack are back. When they went over to motor trend there was a serious void in good motorcycle content. Now that they're back and have Revzilla backing them up, this is seriously going to be fun. Thank you Revzilla, give these guys whatever they need, you won't be sorry!

[@RoshanSridhar]

Probably the best Himalayan Review on Tube 😂 Truly put to test. Was great fun to watch. Cheers from India

Nice, Missed you guys.

[@bcsabiz]

Good to see these two back on the screen! Keep it coming

[@RealWorldCarReviews]

Brilliant video guys. Really enjoyed that. I’d take the Royal Enfield. My dad owned an RE when he was young, back in the 70s, and he said it leaked oil terribly. It finally blew up on a motorway, so he literally tipped it into a ditch, got a lift home, and never went back for it. 😂

[@Choirboyjr11]

Still my favorite common tread episode. Love when you guys do cheap bikes, new and old.

[@cruze86]

I follow revzilla just because two of you guys. You both are fun, adventurous and really go deep into riding that’s i like the most.

[@piccolotti4u]

I love seeing smaller cc bikes on your show; would love to see tips for common mods, i.e. attaching fairings, saddlebags, etc.

[@kevinsdb1]

Finally something good in 2020...Ari and Zac back on the tubes!

[@AverageR0]

waited too long for this. please don't go anywhere now

[@losttrailoverlandoutfitter5850]

This is a great video, I loved the cheapskate version. I am very interested in the Himalayan as a female rider. Seeing its capabilities was great.

[@aremadv]

I just picked up a 2023 Royal Enfield Himalayan for $5200 out the door. I'm so pleased with it. Cant wait to put the miles on it on and off road. Great video showing two amazing cheap advs. As for the CRF 250L I had a 2017 for about 2 years. Think I paid $5400 out the door and while it was amazing off-road it was not so great on road. It cruised at highway speeds no problem but because its a dirtbike with lights it was super uncomfortable. It does weigh a lot less than the Himalayan and they both make pretty much the same power.

[@moto13n]

so stoked to see you guys!

[@michealvivek6199]

It's been 5 mins since I started watching this video and I'm already enjoying their conversation and everything else.. (Birth of a hard-core fan)

[@TheDacane]

Neither bike was meant for this, looking at that trail, id be hesitant to take any adventure bike there. With that said, everytime i see someone taking a Himalaya off road i cant help but think that RE built one hell of a bike for the price. Great video, glad to have you guys back.

[@plusRpm]

I like that the himalayan is built with such a cheap and yet bulletproof engine, you can see that that allows the rest of the bike to be considerably higher quality than the csc.

[@appu6361]

That one bike inspired many young hearts in India to gear up and follow their dreams.... It's not jst a machine for us .... There is a special place for Himalayan in our hearts❤

[@robinwells8879]

Horses for courses. One is a street machine with gravel ability whilst the other is hardcore offroad designed with tarmac capability. Most people will never exceed the capabilities of either. I want both frankly but the Himalayan is vintage and flawed just like me and so I want it more!😂 Like to see someone do that on a gs without sobbing!

[@thinkdunson]

holy freaking crap, i had a miniature freakout / joygasm when i realized who and what this was from the thumbnail preview. ON TWO WHEELS !!!

[@GG-ub4ej]

Joygasm... This is the first time I have seen these guys or that word. I'm going to have to catch up a bit if fans are excited enough to come up with this.

[@zippy441]

Know what you are saying man !! 🤣

[@skyworks1621]

I feel you, same for me.

[@BenJongUn]

Finally some good motorcycle content again!! Thank you RevZilla for getting those two back on youtube and i can't wait for more awesome and honest reviews from Zack and Ari! :D

Royal Enfield Himalayan...... My love

[@engineerbro5109]

In India if need to go through such palces , people would have done it on their daily commute bikes , such as hero splendors and Bajaj discovers ,etc.😂😂😂

[@pajaros_sin_fronteras3338]

hey you crazy guys ! I had lot of fun seeing this video, tnxs a lot ! and well... I didnt knew about the CSC RX4, I ve one 2021 Himalayan here at Colombia, and we ride with some others pals who have same bikes, we pushed to 15100 ft high with not one single problem, some where carburated and my one its full injection, plus ride in steppy places with mud, rocks and off road terrain, and of course pavement, theres no fast bikes, but as you say are tractors ! and really cheap to fix or replace parts, I broke the front brake lever and cost only 7 usd !! and another good thing , its that the gas consumption its so low ! you can almost spit on the thank and ride haha, cheers and now you got a new subscriptor!

[@Amoghhh.k]

Wow seeing Ari and Zack back seems soo Fucking relaxing! And as a proud Himalayan owner I couldn't be any more happier than this🙌🏼 We missed you guys!

[@lianivanbolhuis150]

Thank you, Zack, Ari, and RevZilla, for an excellent 25 minutes of entertainment. I purchased my 2022 Rock Red Himalayan for a bucket list ride of the CDT. Hopefully, both of my sons will be able to come along.
