How a 26yo CEO Saved Royal Enfield!

[@terrycavender]

I flew from Guadalajara, Mexico, and bought my Himalayan July 6th 2023 at Baxter Cycle in Marne, Iowa. After break in period of a few days I proceeded to ride back to Mexico, passing through the midwest, and the US lower south. I arrived at my destination, Oaxaca City, 4,000 miles later. Since then my Himalayan has seen deserts, mountains, broken pavement, and smooth. Since arriving in Mexico I have put on an additional 5,000 plus miles, soon to pass the 10,000 mile mark, all in the space of 14 months. In all that time my Himalayan has never missed a beat. 👍 I do my maintenance services on the street with hand tools, nothing else, the simple design making it easy. I love my Himalayan, all roads, no roads.

[@deepaksahu6075]

That's a love story right there 💜

[@kalpitapokia]

10000 miles in 14 months 😮!!! Must be himalayan 411. New 452 have too many bells and whistles to maintain on road without service station.

[@terrycavender]

@@kalpitapokia I cannot speak on the 452, I have no experience with them other that they sell well in Mexico. And yes, my Himalayan is a 411. I have changed my oil more than once in the street, adjusted my valves in a courtyard where I was staying, and preformed various mods/repairs wherever possible. It's a very basic, dependable tractor.

I love my Himalayan. It’s not perfect but it makes me smile and want to explore every dirt road.

I tried and... maybe next 10 years. Not today. Too simple, too heavy, too weak.

[@mr.trueno6022]

Exactly. I mean, it IS too slow for german roads, but if I get asked about it, I always answer the same thing. The Himalayan is the two-wheeled equivalent to the VW Beetle. It might not be fast, but it WILL take you there, no matter what.

[@gchampi2]

Sid's genius was spotting that the "BIG" ADV bikes were Too Much for most riders. Too Much Cost, too much complexity, too much SPEED. Yes, they were/are great in the circumstances they were designed for - open desert & tundra - but they terrified the average rider who might want to go offroad in a small way, on local trails through woods, or through a rutted out gravel road. The Himalayan is great for this sort of thing, as it has enough grunt to chug through darn near anything at a pace that the average or new rider feels comfortable at, and at a price that is sensible. When you can buy a new Himalayan for less than the point of sale depreciation on a Big ADV bike, why wouldn't you? As for the rest of the RE range, they all have that most important thing (that is lacking in many modern bikes), character. Yes, there are numerous bikes that are "better" than an Enfield, faster, better handling, more powerful, etc, etc. BUT, the Enfield range hits that sweet spot marked "enough" for many, many riders. Enough power & handling to put a smile on the rider's face without needing to break too many speed limits, or risk hitting the scenery at warp speed. Simple enough that the rider can do most maintenance themselves. All at a price most can afford, and with one of the best guarantee's in the biz... That's the real genius behind RE's success. Recognizing that many modern bikes had become intimidating to many potential riders, and producing a bike that wasn't scary. A bike that was simple to understand, simple to modify, and simple to live with. A bike who's looks are archetypal "Motorbike", not some strange insectoid thing with a couple of wheels bolted on. Enough "Retro Cool" to catch the eye of the noob rider, while calling back to a simpler time for the more mature rider. A bike for everyone.

[@kuriabraham]

Every word of this post is insightfully brilliant. Exactly! This is exactly what Sid Lal has realised and then done. 👍🏾

[@Qasibr]

I really hope they keep innovating. Internationally, the Himalayan has been a great affordable bike. Newer Chinese entrants like the CFMoto 450 have an unfair advantage with Chinese tech sector being a bit further ahead, so that bike's taken the lower end market by storm. In the Philipines, that's a direct competitor with the Himalayan, and they're both good bikes. Wishing this company all the best!

They have made up for falling sales by selling more and more H-D branded cr*p and forced their dealers into ever more restrictive (and expensive) exclusive contracts.

The company is authentic yet modern , respects its cultural yet doesn't shy away from trying out new ideas .

You can use them to pull the bike out of the bushes. Or to lash it to the rowing boat. And btw. a Very nice and good video.

Got my full bike license few months ago, after riding a scooter for few years. And then came the decision: "Which bike to buy". Took me weeks of thinking, but in the end I landed on the original Himalayan. And it was the best decision I could have made. It is small, comfy, incredibly stable on road and off-road, and just gorgerous to look at. It may be small, slow, dials vibrate like crazy and pretty damn heavy. But it chugs along anywhere I go, with great confidence, and transfers that same confidence to me as a novice. I trust this machine, that it will take care of me, and I already really love it. Right now it in the shop for a tire and tube swap. I dont have it for few days, instead I got an Interceptor borrowed. Lovely and fun bike, and god the sound of it... But, I already miss my Himye. I want him back, and I want to ride him, with all of its tractorness, heft, and confident stride.

Im 59 now, was 14 when I first handled a Bullet which had the gear shift on the right and brake on the left. I was skinny and people would wonder how this kid rides this beast. Starting the bike needed some skill as you had to decompress and level the amp meter before you venture to kick start the beast, not done correctly and it would punish you! Along the way I made some good friends who were bullet owners and wanted to do some hands on maintenance and oil changes which I would readily do in exchange to get an opportunity to ride the beast! I could not afford to buy one.One of these friends changed my life for the better, I moved to the Gulf. Had to keep biking on the back burner as I got employed, got married, kids. The time has come, as kids have grown up and I have retired. Here I am scouting to buy the Royal Enfield classic, to fulfil my dream and ride the beast .....once again!

Although this is an August 2024 clip, no mention of the new Himalayan 450. I have the 411 as well, and the 450 is a generation ahead, a truly good bike, better suspension by far, a better engine by far, a 6 speed gear box with only ONE neutral, unlike the 411, and excellent handling. The 411 has crappy plastics that crack easily, crappy rubber fork boots that split way too early, rust spots that appear aroundthe welds. The plastics on the 450 seem to be a class better, so time will tell as to their longevity. Like Sid, I have ridden the 450 across the Himalayas at over 18000', and it pulled exceptionally well, and fuel economy is astonishing. That the 450 is not mentioned here is a real surprise, because RE are going to sell a lot of them.

I remember when Americans would order the old Enfields and use them as show pieces like old pedal Singer Sewing machines. Non working new Antiques made with slot screws, bad welds, and sloppy paint. I forgot the built in rust. It is good they came back to life.

Thanks for another awesome film! Just a kind feedback from my side - e.g. at 13:48 it’ll be pretty cool if you’d visualize those progress of sales numbers, I mean in general to include into your videos visual representation of numbers which you’re mentioning.

One of his big moves, was turning to established, high-quality vendors for brakes, tires, electronics, etc. I believe that’s why the Interceptor 650 was an instant hit.

I am well aware of the History of Royal Enfield and of all of their Advertising. I was not interested in any of their Models until they came out with the new Liquid cooled Himalayan, Now I am interested in one.
