I finally rode the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, and here's what I think...

In this video, I ride the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450 for the first time, sharing my initial impressions of the bike. As an owner of the Himalayan 411, I draw comparisons to see if the issues from its predecessor have been addressed and improved.

Your simply awesome❤, your vlogs made me fall in love with Himalayan and now I own Scram 411.

[@venkatbhushan3946]

4:37 Completely agree with you! If you've got an exhaust and you pass by... Anyone could tell it's a Himalayan.

[@adityabhat1508]

Yeah completely agreed. I own the Scram 411 with the stock exhaust and I have to say it is the best souding motorcycle. But it gets muted once I hit the highways so I am planning to get the Powerage exhaust soon. Btw love your vids!

[@SpilTrez]

Thanks a lot for the compliment! I totally get the desire for more oomph on the highways. The Powerage exhaust sounds like a great plan to enhance the overall experience.

[@sureshreddy351]

I am planning to buy a Himalayan 411 for 1.8lakh which is 1.5 year old and travelled around 13000kms. is it worth buying or better to buy scram 411.

Get the 411, worth every penny​@@sureshreddy351

[@hdvwhiab6454]

Go for Himalayan bro​@@sureshreddy351

[@sudhanvajrao2283]

the exhaust note of 411 was unique because it was a long stroke engine but the 450 is a short stroke that is where u find the difference Love ur videos

[@SpilTrez]

I'm well aware of the distinction between the long stroke engine of the 411 and the short stroke engine of the 450, resulting in unique exhaust notes for each. I just wish the 450 had a similar exhaust note, regardless of the engine type.

[@rayparthapratim]

​@@SpilTrez How would it be similar bro it revs much much higher than the previous one. Still in the lower revs I found it similar to the Himalayan

Himalayan 411 is best broo. Seeing this 450 himalayan I bought a 411 last month before the bike get out of stock😅😅. I learnt much from your content thanks broo❤❤

[@SpilTrez]

Haha, that's thoughtful. I'm glad my content was helpful. Thank you

[@obtron]

test rode this bike couple of days back, god damn the torque and pull between 3-5k rpm is "LOOKING LIKE A WOW". Clutch is heavy but gears are so soft, I was surprised af. I own a vstrom 250 so height did not bother that much, in the 3km test ride i did I loved the bike. Will be happy to rent one and explore the mountains!

The only color i liked on this Himalyan 450 is the metallic black with gold rims. no other color can beat that classy look.

[@shaarodmahanta2473]

[@critterIMHO]

Cool bike. I think the pink highlights would look good if not for the rim tape. I wonder how hard it would be to remove the stripes from the wheels.

[@rohxt4]

The first generation Duke had a unique exhaust note(I guess, not sure).

[@evotrix2666]

yesss!!!!! Himalayan 411 is built like a tank ❤ (As I own Himalayan 411). I agree with you on the handlebar thing. when I tested it. if I were to ride it I would probably use handlebar raisers. Well the pros over 411 is that highway cruising is lot more better now with the new 450 with an additional 6th gear. which was lacking in 411.

[@manohar8129]

Please suggest good handle bar raisers for my Himalayan 411.

[@evotrix2666]

[@pushyamitra229]

Hi there! Really enjoyed the video, I saw that most of your ride review was in the city so thought about asking this question. I'm 5'7" as well and height doesn't seem like an issue, however the bike did feel a little top heavy. I've booked both this as well as the x440 (speaking of exhaust notes, the x440 sounds lovely). With my use case being daily commutes to office and weekend rides around Bangalore with friends, which one would you recommend out of the two?

[@mandeepmaunder4691]

X440 would suit you better!

[@sharathbhat7568]

Exactly wt I'm experienced. 99% of the time I correctly guess it is Himalayan behind. And it was correct. That's the one having unique exhaust.

Hello Brother !!! I been following your videos from 2020...at that stage you were around 13k followers if im not wrong. Actually i got craze on Himalayan only after watching your videos, before that i dont have any interest on 411...at that time it was covid starting and i started to see all your videos ...the way you ride and the way Nora reacts !!! That made my mind himalayan 411 is the bike for me. But now RE launched 452... I gonna buy this one by this year for sure. You and Nora is one of the big reason for me buy my one ❤ . . . . .

Hi Bro, what was the seat height was it 825 or 805 that you were riding.

[@manudiaz9113]

Great

[@Finn-jp6pn]

I own a BS6 H411. I agree the 411's styling and exhaust note are preferable. I have a BMC filter + powerage exhaust installed. It sounds so sweet but sadly without a FuelX, I've sacrificed my tractability below 2k RPMs. Did you experience any power loss or stalling in Nora after installing the exhaust?

[@virtual0323]

Same here I feel like my bike doesn't have low grunt and stalls in traffic I guess it's because exhaust joint air leaked after installing powerage exhaust do you have leaked too?

[@Finn-jp6pn]

@@virtual0323 Don't believe so. I think it's because my bike is a BS6 and is running very lean...lots of air but not enough fuel. It's not fun to ride anymore. I'm thinking I'll go stock again until I get FuelX Pro installed.

[@virtual0323]

My bike is bs6 too bro 2021 model I'm thinking to go back to stock too but I'll miss the grunt of powerage

[@Finn-jp6pn]

@@virtual0323 Yeah. My exhaust doesn't sound good at low RPMs. Sounds more like the classic 350 exhaust when I'm in traffic. Quite annoying 🥲 But once I get going, it sounds decent. My stock exhaust had a sweet low rumble to it when I let go of the throttle and used engine breaking. That's no longer there with the powerage. Let's hope things change once I get the FuelX.

[@virtual0323]

[@purandharb]

why does the screen color change from white to black or vice-versa randomly?

That's because of ambient light sensor, if the surrounding is darker then screen goes into dark mode and if surrounding is lighter then screen goes into light mode for better readability.

[@kp6425v]

Flatfoot at 5 feet 7 inch? I'm the same height but could barely tip toe. Are you sure your 170cm?

[@sameerhyder14]

I had the same doubt as even I was only able to tip toe. Guess the inseam is making the difference here.

[@SpilTrez]

We might share the same height at 5 feet 7 inches (170 cm) but my ability to flatfoot might be attributed to having a longer inseam, which allows me to comfortably reach the ground. Inseam length can vary among individuals despite having the same overall height. Thanks for pointing that out!

[@Travelophile]

Is it safe if we fell down , will it cause any injuries to us (knees especially)?

[@SpilTrez]

This bike is similar to any other, and the inclusion of a crash guard as an accessory can be beneficial in preventing injuries.
