I am enjoying my himalayan 450. It is so good to ride

[@mushrafshaikh8479]

So does it get hot in the city/traffic?

[@Chomomomin]

I hate those gas stove type kill switch and high/low beam switch on RE Himalayan😅

[@iamstrell]

Its not a pleasing thing to use.

[@lokesh3428]

​@@iamstrellKTM had worst suspension in their all bikes

[@notad3tya129]

Offroad is MILES better on the 450 because the foot pegs are so rear set on the 390 it tends to throw me over the bar . Whereas the 450 has higher bars standard footpegs which are so good for off-road sections.

[@rammohang4760]

I do not know about the Himalayan 450 but the older Himalayan 411's seat felt comfortable initially but on a long ride the seat flattened out and my bum used to touch the frame of the bike and it hurt like hell. My Duke 390 seat was damn stiff but no matter what distance it used to remain the same. stiffer seat for longer rides and softer seat for shorter rides. ADV 390 has tubeless tires and the Himlalayan old or new still do not have tubeless tyres in India atleast. That is a big bummer in my opinion.

[@anat182]

If you still have your 411, get the touring seat by RE. I have it. No major pain even after 700kms a day.

[@CaptainEscape]

@@anat182I have the 411 - should I go for the touring seat without a doubt?

I don't get one part.. people are saying that it's a good tourer, but the most useful range.. 90-110 ... Is so buzzy! I took two test rides on different machines, same result. Also, on braking, our jewels keep hitting the tank due to how the tank is shaped. It's pretty uncomfortable because of these two reasons combined.

[@eyanvlogs2161]

where can i get that 390 adv visor kit??

[@kannanv5668]

[@saichaitanya1092]

Hey.. I am a city user and may be i will go for long rides. Needs comfort and good bike.. is ktm 390 better or himmi 450.. I wanted to know about engine heating issues. Is it there is both the bikes or else inly in 450. Will it be a aproblem if i use it in city rides. Any suggestions to overcome that heat if i buy 450.. ???

[@prashantha_k]

Bro , i sold my 411 to buy this bike and wanted a tubeless bersion of himi bjt then RE gave me a big shock of not releasing the tubeless version . Now i m waitjng waiting and not sire how oong this will go on . I lived the 411 over 3 hears but used to get puncture every 1000 km or so snd i was so much fed up of it . Then i used to get very tense whenever i need to travel to Mangalore and back to Bangalore. It even got to a point where i had to keep checking the tire pressure every 100 km and even if kt dopped bu 2 to 3 psi i jsed ro fill it and tjats when i thought to sell it and i did .

[@Rahul-kp6wn]

Ktm is a high compressed engine where as 450 it's squared engine which translates to more reliability of Himalayan. Vibrations its buzz on tank for me. I own h450

[@YunusKash02]

Is the vibrations deal breaker....i am planning to buy 450 but I have seen people saying it hot vibrations....can u plz tell me ur experience with 450 how reliable it is?

[@OmerAtmca]

What kind of Adv390 is that? the fairing is looking like 890!!

[@beyourself9500]

The previous Himalayan was shit but this time RE has improved a lot...I think this time the choice between these two bikes is only based on preferences, what do you need from the bike....both are capable bikes......go take a test ride and then see how you feel on that bike and then make your decision..... influencers give their own opinion. It can match your liking or not. Go take a test ride that's the holy grail of choosing a bike...

[@akhil2040]

I love how well re balance on low speed(5km/hr). Very useful on busy streets.

[@asifsuhaib]

Strell, What do you mean by RE is less reliable? It'll just stall in middle of the road or if it falls on track, the service center doesn't know what parts to replace? - Reliability in terms of what? service center or engine longevity and reliability. - RE is less reliable doesn't really explain what you mean to convey and vice versa for KTM

[@sujaybiswas783]

I want to share a short experience that how Royal Enfield is improved a lot compared to other brands. I went to testride meteor 350 and a person attended me (already talked over the phone after booking test ride) I was surprised that the person gave me the keys of that bike directly and told me to do test ride as long as I want. This is the first time that I did test ride alone. (compared to competitor, where they first ask if planning to buy if not, they will reject the test ride) It is not about the bike but about the dealership that how they treat people. I will definitely recommend Royal Enfield to other people, my friends and relatives. Royal Enfield has now improved a lot from last few years, in engine design, in service, in sales and also in pre sales (test ride)

[@vijithvg1795]

[@XXXTREME802]

Hey Strell, Could you please tell regarding your motovlogging camera setup ? Which action camera & do you use a chest mount ? Thanks !

[@iamstrell]

Hey, I use gopro Hero10 with chin mount.

[@XXXTREME802]

@@iamstrell Thanks a lot man. Excellent vid, as always ! Is using the chin mount comfortable? Hoping it doesn't cause disorientation ? Would be great if you could make a video about your setup, and pros and cons of different moto vlogging setup types and how you capture the engine sound so nicely in your pure riding sound videos.

[@saucyvip3r]

Can you please elaborate more on difference between controlled oriented vs comfort oriented

[@beyourself9500]

I know you asked him but I thought let me explain a little.... control oriented mean when you ride the bike it will do what you want it to do, it is well engineered with proper weight distribution and electronics to give you precise control on the bike..... comfort oriented means it is comfortable to ride but the bike will be little sluggish to take your inputs precisely..... However it is a minor difference and will affect mainly the pro riders...normal people will not feel that difference....I hope you understood...and sorry to pitch in if you don't want my explanation....happy riding 😊

[@saucyvip3r]

@@beyourself9500 No worries, thank you for your explaination :)

[@IzzyOliver0]

I feel like 2025 ktm adv will turn the tables in terms of off-roading but still love the new RE Himalayan 450 in-terms of touring coming from a Himmy 450 owner. In-terms of city, comparing to the upcoming KTM ADV 390, Himmy 450 maneuvers much better. If you want a true KTM ADV for offroad, wait until 2025.

[@chintu306ify]

I don't think KTM will launch it any sooner, but test motorcycles showed under belly exhaust 🫣 I am afraid they don't launch it that way and say it's an adventure motorcycle 😂

[@nishultomar]

Waiting for xpulse 440.. I'm hoping hero is working on that

[@ajinkyadeshpande950]

Amazing content as always Strell bro!!! One more important aspect is that as of now the Himalayan comes only with tube tyres whereas the adventure comes with alloys in one of the variants. That’s a big point especially for tourers. Also, hopefully KTM will launch the facelift based on the new 399cc motor from the Duke 🤞🏻

[@killingmachinelp]

The problem with RE is the service center/after sales. Of you've got a local reliable re mechanic then you're set. Otherwise, it will cause some headache. I'm speaking from my own experience.

[@guyfrommadras]

Same with KTM as well.

Hi bro nice to meet You're riding on the Krishnagiri highway 😅 I saw the hospital 💚✨⚡

[@rollonwheels81]

Sorry bro... I don't agree with you. I have sold my KTM 390 adventure because of reliability issue only within 2 years. Most of the time it stayed in the workshop. I could clock only 7000kms. And I also can confirm that vibration is lesser in himalayan than a KTM 390. Currently I am using RE 650s gt interceptor and super meteor which never bother me. Recently I have booked himalayan 450 after test riding it. Go for himalayan not a KTM.

[@iamstrell]

Sorry to hear that you didnt had a good time with the 390. And glad to know that you are now enjoying the RE twin :) Happy motoring.

[@jithlogs]

On the contrary my Adv 390 has clocked 28k kms… and its an awesome all rounder… rocket in the highways and great in traffic too…

[@venky-vibin]

I am byk enthusiastic i have owned ktm 390 adventure and sold because of hell of vibration in lower rpm's and not reliable sold it where as i own royal Enfield Himalayan 450 vibration are not their with 4000rpm and then its vibrates at 100 to 120kph after that 130 it is buzz but we can enjoy comparing two royal Enfield Himalayan 450 is far most better machine than ktm 390 adventure

@@buzzlightyear1484 I'm riding a Honda CB350 Highness since eight months and I've been spoilt by the engine refinement. I know that Highness and Himalayan 450 are two different kind of bikes, but I tend to look for similar levels of refinement on other bikes which is why I'm kinda sad about the vibrations on Himalayan 450. That does not mean that I hate the Himalayan, because it still has a lot of great things - superb suspension, high revving engine, great design, good offroad and touring capability. Apart from that the Himalayan is definitely a great value for money straight out of the box💪

Honda has NX500 adv already in market...

[@sameerkharade7750]

@@relaxininspiration NX500 does bring to table Honda's reliability and a decent middle-weight experience that it offers, which is an advantage, because we don't have a middle-weight twin cylinder adv in the Indian market currently, but the price makes it less desirable. There is nothing else to compare the NX500 against except the TRK 502 which is a great option, but sane person would go for a Honda. Had the price been aggressive, it would have gained more popularity.
