[@Ride_XP]

Thanks for watching! Let me know if you have any questions or what you'd like to see now that I own a Himalayan 450.

[@hpvdvph]

@Ride_XP thank you for all the insights! bought the black himmy 450 today too

[@hpvdvph]

just realized, at the same place as well lol

[@jordanpangilinan509]

Stories like this made me pick Himmy over everything else.

[@Ride_XP]

@@jordanpangilinan509 good taste! 😉

[@jomarceloco]

Now this is what loyalty looks like, despite of having a very tough competition (over the 450mt) you did picked a good choice and it seems that the himalyan really suits you, your style, and your lifestyle perfectly.

[@angelbertlarano4689]

Swapped my 900cc bike for a Himmy 450. Your very detailed comparison of Himmy, Triumph scrambler, and 450 MT helped a lot on my decision. Hope to ride with you one day Sir and looking forward to more of your post with the new Himalayan 450.

[@Ride_XP]

@@angelbertlarano4689 glad to hear bro ☺️☺️ congrats on the Himmy!!

[@Futuremodi]

Aarooonn.... This video made my day. When can we expect u back in India again? Really looking forward for u to take this baby for spin on the mighty himalayan roads. Enjoy your bike. Lots of love and best wishes from India 🇮🇳🤜🤛🇵🇭

[@Ride_XP]

Thank you brother. Working on it! Definitely will be back in the Himalayas maybe as soon as next year but working on a visit to other places as well.

[@diegomercadoMX]

I feel so related to you, I also bought a 411 in 2020 and I’m about to make the jump to the 450 real soon. If you ever visit 🇲🇽 you’ll always have friends here to join you in your travels!

[@Ride_XP]

Eyyy gracias hermano! Me hace mucha ilusión venir otra vez, porque hace diez años solo fui a Cancún y no sabía conducir una moto todavía. Keep in touch! :)

Man. Loving the video Aaron. I bought the interceptor and partly was when you bought yours and reviewed it. And its been two years and I have been thinking to this too to my collection. Keep posting your experience with this

Thanks! Surely. Btw, if you can wait a little more, some very interesting bikes coming down the pipeline yet this year from RE.

[@typing...3109]

if you are the type of person who knows if a something has a soul definitely it's the hima 450. it really suits you the bike really represent who you are bro. good taste 👌

Liked the himalayan 450 when I first saw it! Excited to know your thoughts with its liquid cooled engine. ☺️

[@percentbigfoot]

Wow! Quite a journey my friend.

[@gunshipanropace2gunshipand119]

Next episode please, also wanting to buy myself this one someday

[@WanderMark]

Great journey! Excited to see more on this. But I have a few questions. First is, if you're coming from the previous model of Hima, is it worth upgrading to the 450? Second, budget-wise, since the Hima 411 will probably drop in price with the release of the newer version, is it okay to go with the older model? As being an owner of both, I think you're the best person to ask.

[@Ride_XP]

It really depends: the 411 is a much more accessible, less intimidating bike. It’s lower and carries its weight low. The tradeoff being it’s slow and doesn’t like being ridden hard. With the 450 it feels more like a “proper” ADV and is bigger/heavier to push around but it rewards riding skill more, not to mention the power. So it really depends on your intended purpose. If speed is not an issue and if you want more familiarity with issues and more available parts, the 411 is a good choice. It is just more limited as you grow in skill.

[@fatbugs5632]

Great video. You got a new subscriber! I have been waiting for the roadster version of this bike, sana dalhin nga yung Guerilla 450 dito sa PH.

[@Ride_XP]

Sure darating yan!

[@hanslalangan]

now i think ill get this as my future bike ❤

[@Ride_XP]

thanks bro!!!

[@realmccoy220]

This for me is the dream.

[@JohnBenedictFerreria]

I feel like, with your skill level and that you had the RE 650 previously in your stables, that you should have waited for the KTM Adv 390 as well as the "RE Himmy 650" which I feel would have been a better bang for buck plus for sure would have had all the bells and whistles that this 450 didn't have.

[@Ride_XP]

I see your point! And thanks for believing in my skill level(?), haha. But how long would I have had to wait for those bikes instead of riding? I don't think I'll see them in 2024 in this country. As for bells and whistles, I think if they were a primary consideration I would have bought the 450MT or a Transalp. That said, if the Himmy 650 manages to weigh 210kg or less that would be an absolutely cracking engine to take off-road, not to mention for touring. I know a lot of people and Himalayas-based rental businesses are waiting for that.

[@ManishSingh-ic7bu]

As for 650 himi Don't worry it will take atleast 2 years to come out

[@benjamin.f.b.]

post 2 videos per week with this bike and your channel will grow

[@jerameelinit341]

Himmy is back

[@Argo-F-Ur-Sef]

Just found your channel. Love the recent content. I too want the 450 Himalayan but I have to sell one bike. Should I sell my RE INT650, Yamaha WR250R, or Honda Trail 125? It seems like the Himalayan could replace the 650 as a road touring bike though I love the 650 so. My wife likes the Trail 125 and the WR can do some tougher off road than the 450. Thoughts on my dilemma?

[@Ride_XP]

Great question. I replaced my INT 650 with this bike but I also got a Yamaha MT-07. Honestly, the power of the Himmy 450 is very close to the Interceptor while having superior comfort and very decent road manners and of course much higher off-road capability. Mainly you would miss the lower seat height (if you’re not tall) and that bigger parallel twin rumble.

[@nonoybrownn]

Hey bro when are you going to upload new contents of your himi? I need more convincing power to buy himi haha naguguluhan pa ako between MT450

[@Ride_XP]

@@nonoybrownn may parating akong collab na comparo ng dalawa ☺️

@@Ride_XP yown salamat waiting kami subscribers mo

[@AxieVerse-i2s]

Do you know how much the tubeless wheelset for himmy 450? I want the same colors as yours but it doesn’t come with tubeless tires 😢

[@Ride_XP]

I'm not sure how much it works out to here but in India the price is just over 12,000INR, which is not that expensive for a full wheelset.

[@AxieVerse-i2s]

@ sweet price! are you considering to change yours into tubeless?

[@Ride_XP]

@@AxieVerse-i2s Just heard that it's gonna be in the realm of PhP 65k for the full wheelset, which is more what I expected, and not a viable alternative for me.

[@AxieVerse-i2s]

@@Ride_XP krazy. Not for me either. But there are aftermarket available naman na no?

[@davidashworth1985]

Excellent.

[@TICOBIKE]

I'm still not sure if I'll sell my 411 and buy the 450. How do you feel the weight of the new Himalayan compared to the 411 ?

[@Ride_XP]

@@TICOBIKE weight is the same on paper but it’s a bit higher on the taller 450. So for example, even just lowering it from the center is noticeably more intimidating. But you do get used to it! I do fear that it will be a bit harder to pick up on inclined terrain, I’ll have to test it soon.

[@amitdash10]

I wonder why didn't you bought mt450 ?

[@patrickvillacorta3810]

[@The4BsWithGary]

What happened to your Continental??

[@Ride_XP]

My Interceptor you mean? Replaced it with an MT-07 hahaha. So I have a fast road bike and an off-road/retro bike.

[@The4BsWithGary]

Yes, Interceptor, sorry. The mt is a nice ride. Now all you need is a cruiser! 😆

[@rethinking-h8k]

Smart decision. Cf moto/ kove, using ktm technology, low quality manufacturing, to much technology. I know that cf moto 650 was horrible, reliability wise.

[@BlackpearlAbu]

need old console

[@prakashprakash223]

If u bought himi450 over cfmoto that means RE himi is better than cf moto. Ok noted.

[@javierc2726]

450mt is way better than this

[@baldomeroh]

Kept on watching videos and saw this vid of yours kabayan parang gusto ko tuloy mag hima nadin haha.I'm torn in between honda nx500 and this himalayan450. Comfort in the roads vs better offroad.. Imma sit on them when I get back to PH. 🥹

[@Ride_XP]

Yes bro! Good idea. Sa totoo lang maganda talaga yung NX500, best tourer in the segment. Pero kung medyo hardcore na off-road na usapan hindi ko siya pipiliin. It might boil down talaga to which bike attracts you more.
